the election held in Hidalgo county
III November. 1923.
Wrong Counting Alleged
An injunction, alleging that the

vassed by the Hidalgo county COM

ton result was therefore wrongly

was sought.

favor of the plaintiff.
The case revolved around the fact
that the county commissioners
court Of Hidalgo county had thrown
out the ballots in the Weslaco box.
alleging that they we're unsealed
when brought before the body dur
ing c~anvassing of all votes in the
county. Griffin contends that II
the Weslaco box had been included
In the count. he would have been
elected to the office over his DEM
'~u2ocratic opponent, j. 4. Leslie, In
cumbent, by q majority Of $50
votes.
Court Order Pending
The action is centered about the
possibility that the state court
Of civil appeals will order the Yves
laco election returns TO be includ-
ed in the Hidalgo county vote or
that IL will declare the action OF
the Hidalgo county commissioners
court legal.
Judge II. M. Seawall. member Of
Griffin's legal staff, has recently

where he spent a month in prepar-
alton Of briefs Of the case. Crit

ley's most prominent attorneys
