Recount Expected.
While Raymond Kenny Of Grafton
seems to have gained the decision
in the race for the Democratic nom
nation for Congress in the first
West Virginia district, the margin
is SO close that it will likely take
the official canvass to make the
victory comp1ete Mr.. Kenny is in
Brooke County today looking after
his interests there. Mr.. Kenny
feels that there was slight mis-:
take one or two places in the re-
port carried by the Associated
Press yesterday and that his p1u-
rality will in reality. be nearer 100
than II. The latest reports place
him in the lead by sfxty-one. The
race was one Of the closest and
most interesting in years. The
many. friends of Kenny in this city
are hoping that there will be no
change In the figures which will
take welcomed victory from
him.
