IS DOUBTFUL

The Asheville Citizen on Thurs

j. E. Shipman, on Wednesday
night, said that the race between
Schenck and Hanrick for solicitor
was close and that the outcome was
uncertain, though, indications point

Weaver made gains in many sections
over his vote two years ago.
The result Of the race between

trict is very close and the fact mat
Mr.. Schenck's name appeared on lhc
