RECOUNT IN FLORIDA CONTEST
Brings Gubernatorial Contestants
Within One Vote of Tie.

Jacksonville, Fla, Sept. 28.-But
one vote separated w. v. Knott and
Sidney j. Cats to-day in the CONTEST
for the Democratic GuDernatorial
nomination Of Florida, according to
figures announced by Knott head
quarters here to-day. The one vote
was in favor Of Mr. Knott, who now
holds the certificate of nomination as
result OF the recanvass by the State
canvaSSing board last week. At that
time Mr.. Knott was declared entitled
to the certificate of nomination,
which since June 6 had been held by
Sidney J. Cats. by lead Of 81
votes. Since that time further re-
counts have been made to increase
Mr.. Knots lead, but /, has been de-
creased.
These figures are BASED on the as
sumption that Mr.. Cats will secure
the 60 votes in Alachua precinct No.
3. which were not counted for him in
the original count because the inspec-
tors failed to sign the returns. The
vote for all other candidates except
those for Governor were counted and
now that Cats is petitioning the
court that he be given credit for
them it is expected that the vote will
be included in his total.
