Supreme Court Takes Up Guy
er-Little Case.

Fred w. Knapp's certificate of NOM
ination for state auditor is to be held
up pending supplemental returns from
Cloud county which showed an error
in favor of Dan B. Dyer. In the mean
time Dyers friends are looking for
other errors in the primary count.
Possibilities of a contest were ad-
mitted today by Senator 1. M. Mahin
of Smith Center, attorney for Dyer,
although he expressed the belief that
sufficient errors might not be found
to overcome Knapp's lead.
Supplemental returns in the auditor
fight may be asked from other coun-
ties according to rumors today in the
state house. 1t is reported that errors
favorable to Dyer have been found in
several counties and that pending re-
turns from Cloud county sufficient
mistakes may be recorded to change
results The Cloud county error takes
ten votes from Knapp.
Il doubt if contest proceedings VIII
be filed unless there are further mis-
takes found" said Senator Mahin- "Of
course we are looking for anything
favorable to Dyer and if other changes
are made, we may go farther in the
matter"
1t was reported today that returns
from nearly forty counties are being
checked by Dyer's friends.
Take Up Guyer Suit.
This afternoon the supreme court
took up the suits filed by U. S. Guyer
in his contest for the Republican
congressional nomination in the Sec
ond district. E. c. Little holds lead
