1t appeared that Mrs. Wallace
had been acting for Mrs. Close in
the matter while her sister was
absent from her Miami home. and
that the correspondence was not

Mrs. Close directed her sister
to phone Mr. Harris and explain
that she wanted no reflection to
be cast on Secretary of State
Gray nor upon the County Com

that no action will be taken
against the election Tuesday by
reason of the name omission.
