dates for nomination for County Com
missioner made no change in the

ing who had requested the recount
when the official tabulation gave him
1147 votes to 1853 for Herman. The

count and also including an additional

and Herman 1144.
When the results became known Mr..
Browning congratulated his opponent
and wished him success in the gen
eral election.
All Commissioner nominees lost
votes in the result as a number of
the ballots were challenged by the at
torneys and in one precinct (7-2) the
Supervisors declared II ballots void
because they had not been initiated on
the outside by the election officials
the day of the Primary.
Jonas W Sines, high man on the
ticket, lost SO votes, his final total
being 1449 compared to the former
figure of 1885. Walter G. Meyers had
,234, whereas he formerly had 1862.
James A. Savage ended up with 1869
instead of 1881 G. Blaine Giessman
had 787 instead Of 8O2, and George
Warwick had TIP instead of 1877
A total of 1881 ballots were
counted in the recount which was
completed in two days BY a ruling of
the Attorney General William c.
Walsh, the expense Of the recount
falls upon Mr.. Browning as the
change in number of ballots cast for
the candidate was less than two per
cent, as provided by law
The cost of the recount. according
to bills filed with A. Leo HclbiG
clerk to the Board of Supervisors, is
$275.15. This figure does not include
the cost of Browning's attorney, Mr.
Hclbig said.
