cAMPeelL-huNT VOTE
 INSPECTION FINISHED

PHOENIX, Jan. 9-The inspection of the ballots in the Hunt-Campbell contest for the governorship was con- cluded last night and the results have been tabulated by the Republican state committee officials, showing the votes by counties for each of the can didates as returned by the election officials. the results as determined by the inspection boards and the number of disputed ballots. The inspectors for Governor Hunt have not yet sub mitted their table but claim a major discovery of clerical errors by cleo ton boards. A gain of lS5 votes for Hunt is claimed. The table submit ted by the Republican committee gives Campbell a plurality of 157 in. stead of 30, as was shown by the off cial count. Both figures are exclu- sive of the disputed ballots.
 The supreme court it was announc. ed today would hand down a decision tomorrow morning on the motion of Senator Ives, counsel for Governor Hunt, to strike from the complaint of Campbell in his application for writ of mandamus, all reference to events leading up to the issuance of the cer. tificate of election of the latter. In case the motion is allowed arguments will proceed on the amended com. plaint.

LEAVE FOR PHOENIX
 TO ATTEND SESSION

Senator Fred Sutter and Represen- tative Tom Hughes and Tom Foster at the opening of the session of the legislature which convenes on Mon- day next. The balance of the Cochise County representatives are already in Phoenix. Mrs Mckay left early last week while the Douglas members including NJ. E. Jacks, Charles Fran cis, Dave O'Neill and William Cook left during the week Just what the members intend to do at the organiza- ton of that body remains to be seen. IL is the opinion of several of them that they should adjourn until the governorship question has been set tied while others are inclined to give their support to the Hunt faction.
 There promises to be a very lively time at the opening of the session at any rate, the republicans, conserva- tive democrats and the radicals all promise to have a slate that they wish to put through and what the outcome will be only time will tell.

PICKETT TO TAKE ARia
 IONA VOTE TO CAPITOL

PHOENIX. Jan. 8-Two hours be fore the legislature met here today three good democrats assembled in the supreme court room and cast the vote of Arizona for president. This is ordained by law. In all days Mon day. the votes will be cast and prepar- ed for their journey to the national capital.
 In spite of other uncertainties in connection with the Arizona election there seems to be little doubt that the votes of Harry E. Pickett of Doug las. Homer R. wooo of Prescott and Lamar Cobb of Phoenix will be cast for Woodrow Wilson.
 The question of which elector will iourney to Washington with the off, cial vote, will be decided today. Mir. Pickett disclaims any intention of creating a further break In the demo cratic party by demanding the right and honor of toting the ballots. Mir. Wood. 1t is thought, will be kept busy for some few days. with the guberna- torial contest. in which he is an in spector. Mir. Cobb's duties as state engineer. will possibly keep him in the state. Mir. Pickett. who is a lawyer. and therefore by inference. a man of both means and leisure. to- gether with taste for travelling. seems the best one yet He says that Mir. Wilson need feel no anxiety this year about the ballots arriving in Washington at or prior to the pre- scribed time.
