Counter Tallies Made.

and smith lost three In the Sixth. n gain
OF four for Whitman. Alderman Gill
more gave Smith a gain OF six In this
district.
The Seventh district was not can
vassed because of the absence of Alder
man Quinn, whose district 1t is. There
was no change in the Eighth. Only half
of the Ninth district had been canvassed
when the board adjourned for the day.
Twenty-Five tally sheets are missing
in the districts already canvassed and
the canvass was made on the basis OF
the result" sheets. Counsel for the
Governor and Mr.. Smith have united on
an application TO the court for permits
sion to open the ballot box IN the Fourth
election district OF the Ninth Assembly
district to see whether or not the cleo
ton officials put their tally sheet in the
box. The motion will be made before
Justice Newburger In the Supreme Court
this morning.
II the tally sheet Is found in this box
application will be made for search or
the boxes for the other missing tally
sheets. both here and in Queens. where
a total Of forty-eisht tally sheets are
missing.
In many cases 1t was found that the
totals at the end OF the sheet were
greater than the number of tally marks
in the squares II only the ta'lies were
taken. Mr.. Fuchs declared, Smith
would have lost 1000. He Is not pre-
pared. however. to say that the totals
are wrong, preferring to assume that
there was an error in not putting the
tallies down properly.
When the ballot boxes are opened for
the inspection asked by Gov. Whitman
this discrepancy will be cleared up.
Doubt Over Socialists.
Mr.. Fuchs was inclined to look with
susricion on the fact that the Socialist
candidate for Governor ran 40 much
behind the Socialist candidates for Con-
eresls in many districts. In the Twenty
second Election district OF the Second
Assembly district. for instance. Lee for
Congress got thirty-tntee votes. while
Erwin, candidate for Governor, was not
credited with any.
Herbert r. Ltmburg will argue the
motion for an order for an inspection
OF the ballots in New York county and
The Bronx before Justice GaVegan in
the Supreme Court this morning. Against
the contention Of the Democrats that
the order should ask for the opening
OF all the boxes in the State the brief
will say that while the Judge may have
the power to grant such an order he
tas no power to compel the opening
any Ca indicate may examine ANY of tho
ballots" Abram 6. Gilbert, who colab-
GRATED with Mr.. Limburg on the brief.
said the proposed form OF order had
been amended so as TO have the ballots
examined at the offices OF the Board Of
Elections. or any other place designated
by them. 1t is provided, however. that
not less than fifteen boxes shall BE
opened at one time.
The canvass in The Bronx has been
practically completed without showing
any material change.
