START COUNTY RECOUNT
IN The SHERIFF RACE
CONTINUED from Page -

N1OilbliioCh - l. dot -
Walter Suydam, attorney for
Sheriff Gowen, did not object to this
method of procedure declaring that
it appeared to be the most feasible
way. County Solicitor Frederick F.
Richardson, who represents the
freeholders, objected to the applica-
ton however, declaring that it was
not up to the Democrats to dictate
to the election board as to what
polls should be counted first. This,
he said lis a matter for the county
election board to decide themselves.
If the Democrats wanted the votes
counted in any particular order they
should have obtained a court order
when they applied for the recount
directing the election board to do
so" After some more arguing it
was decided by members of the cleo
ton board to count the ballots in
order requested by Hayes.
In addition to Hayes there were
two other Democratic attorneys
looking out for their party's inter-
ests in the recount, they being
Klemmer Kalteissen. the candidate
for freebooter whose victory over
j. Fred Orpen by three votes is be-
ing r%ecounted. and John A. sCoan.
Besides Suydam and Richardson the
Republicans have three tally keep
ers, George Eggert, of Perth Amboy
| and John Anderson and Charles
Day, both of this city. Gowen and
Freeholders Walter Quakenbush
and Clarence Haight were present
| this morning.
The Democrats expect John 9.
| Toolan, assistant prosecutor, to as
| sist later in the day while tomorrow
Fred w. De Voc, David j. Wilent2
and Thomas Hagerty will be the
| Democratic lawyers in attendance.
