Vanderburgh. Vigo. Lakt

Vanderburgh, VigO, Lake
Vanderburgh, Vigo and Lake
Counties are the counties in which
the recount efforts center, although
other counties may be investigated
later.
It was in these three counties
that Watson and Robinson piled up
large majorities, overcoming the
strides made by Stump and Woollen
in early returns.
Returns from 140 Of the $50 pre-
cincts in Lake County gave Watson
a majority of IL 900 and Robinson a
5000 majority.
Complete unofficial returns from
Vanderburgh County gave Watson
a 1878 majority and Robinson .
$3.50 majority. The vote was: Wat
son. 14,071; Stump, 10,75S; Robinson,
1850; Woollen, 10.7S0.
Peters was in conference this
morning with Frank p. Baker, for
mer Marion County prosecutor, and
Baker and Charles M. Clark, an
other local attorney, are understood
to have left at once for Crown Point,
county seat Of Lake County.
Arrange Conference
They are understood to have ar
ranged a conference with Emmett N.
White of Gary. Lake County chair
man, whose telegraphic communica-
tions to the State committee have
intimated wide irregularities In the
recording of the Lake County vote.
"On account of reports made to
Democratic State headquarters there
are at least three counties where a
recount will be demanded. Contest of
the elections in those localities may
ensue," Peters declared.
One of the Democrats present
when the election situation was be-
ing discussed was Thomas Taggart,
State and national Democratic leader
The veteran party heimsman ex-
pressed himself as highly satisfied
with the fragmentary returns to
date and ventured a guess that both
of the Democratic senatorial candi-
dates will be pronounced winners
when the final check is made.
Woollen and Stump also were at
the conferences.
In making plans for the re-
cOuntss however, the Democratic
leaders did not admit defeat.
Returns from farm pre1 nets
and totals from the southern part
of the State were expected by
them to wipe away the leads of the
Republican senatorial candidates.
Calls for Reports
A call to all Democratic county
chairmen in the State to Immediately
flash him all available returns was
sent out by Peters. With these re.
ports filed the returns will show a
fair different complexion than that
tabulated unofiicially from returns
from 2,102 precincts on the long. term
race, giving Watson 326,S61 and
Stump, 81, ,621.
For the short-term 2,102 precincts
gave Robinson S31 ola and Wcollen.
301 ,6SS.
And at Republican headquarters
at the SEVERN. although state Chair
man Clyde. A. Walb stuck to his
prediction of victory for both Robin.
son and Watson, some dissatisfaction
appeared.
Angered by the narrow margin
given the two Republican candi-
dates in early returns, Lawrence
Lyons, former State chairman,
turned a picture of Winfield T.
'Durbin to the wall.

Governor of Indiana, in a statement
