LARRABEE AND
ELLIS RACE IS
STILL IN DOUBT
Both Congress Candidates
Claim Victory; Recount
Talk Starts.

Supporters of Congressman Will
liam H. Larrabee, dry from Hancock
county, in Tuesdays primary, to-
day claimed that he is the Demo-
cratic choice in the Eleventh dis
trict by las votes. AdherentS Of
Willis Ellis, wet, of Anderson, de-
clares he has been reelected by a
lead of 10. All tabulations are
based on unofficial counts.
1t was evident today that the true
outcome OF the close contest will
not be learned until the canvassing
board makes known the official
outcome.

tenders are urging the candidates to
seek recount.

precincts in the county gave Earl
B. Cox, 21,160, the Democratic cir

tanned by the county organizations

missioner nomination and Walter C.

ing I'll votes.
