Democrats May Seek
Writ I'm Recount Case

NEW BRUNSWICK, Feb. 13:-
There is a possibility that Middlesex
county has not yet heard the last of
the Klemmer Kalteissen-J. Fred
Orpen recount to determine which

eight votes. Now there are a num-
ber of the Democratic leaders who
are not at all satisfied with the out
come of the recount and they are re-
ported to be seriously considering
making application for writ of cer-
dorari under which the entire state
supreme court would review the re-
count.
A decision will likely be reached
by the Democrats at conference to-
night as to whether or not to appeal
the recount result.
The members of the Middlesex
County Board OF Elections will meet
this afternoon to certify to the re-
suits OF the recount. County Solicitor
Frederick r. Richardson expects to
appear before Chief Justic William
s. Gummere tomorrow morning and
ask that Kalteissen's certificate of
election, given him by the county
board after the original count had
been made, be revoked. A meeting
of the freeholders and the county
election board will be held Saturday
for the purpose of determining the
cost of the recount. all of which
must be borne by the county. 1t is
expected to be about $4,000.
