RECOUNT OF VOTE
SHOWS MANY CHANGES
But Deviations Are Not Sufficient
To Swerve Result
SIX PRECINCTS RE-CANvASSED
Final Compilation Gives Revell Major
ity OF 81 Instead Of 81,
Over Anderson.

The final official compilation OF the
vote cast in the primary election of
September IL, by the Board of SUI
pervisors of Elections for the county.
following a recount of the ballots in
certain OF the precincts, shows
changes in the total vote of the
Democratic candidates all down the
line, though the discrepancies are
not sufficient to change the original
result, that is, that all of the candi-
dates supported by the Organization
people are returned elected. The re-
canvass was completed yesterday.
AS has previously been told in The
Capital. certain of the candidates on
the ticket put up by the Progressive
faction of the party, demanded re-
count of the ballots on the grouno
that alleged discrepancies were dis
covered and irregularities committed.
The precincts from which the returns
were revised are the First Ward of
Annapolis; all three precincts of the
Fifth District; the First Precinct of
the Third District, and the First Pre-
cinct of the Fourth District. AS re-
suit the total vote of every candidate
shows a deviation in their poll, rang
ing from 2 to nearly 80 votes, as
compared to the original canvass
Some of the candidates gained, while
the vote Of others shows a falling off
from the original figures.
The single instance wherein Pro-
gressive candidate came close TO
overcoming the vote of an opponent
is furnished by the poll of Frank s.
Revell, Organization, and Bruner r.
Anderson, Progressive, candidates for
membership on the County Central
Committee. The recount shows loss
of 26 votes for Revell and loss of 5
for Anderson, thereby giving Mr..
Revell a majority of 81, instead of 50,
as shown by the original returns
