COP Studies
City Recount
BY FRANK MORRIS

Republican leaders met here to-
day to decide whether to compel
a recount of Detroit presidential
ballots in an effort TO overcome
the Roosevelt lead, now in excess
of 10000 votes.
Inspection OF few ballot boxes
opened yesterday by the Wayne
County Board of Canvassers con-
WINGED COP managers that the
muddled tabulation here is a
terrific mess"

BALLOTS NOT SEALED


OF 13 boxes opened by the can
vassers, four had made no returns
on the presidential contest and
the ballots were not wrapped and
sealed, as the law requires.
Among Republicans who will
decide whether 10 compel d
recount by depositing IS for each
precinct they want rechecked are
national committeeman Arthur
Summerfeld, state chairman John
Dethmers and county chairman
James Lyons.
City Clerk Leadbetter explained
that can be done only through
legal recount channels.
However, il was brought out
that only candidate who feels
aggrieved can take such a step.
Although the names of the presi-
Dental candidates were on the
ballot. the voters in Michigan
actually were voting for 10
presidential electors.
RECOUNT QUESTION
II the Republican leaders de.
eide 10 apply. the recount Will
be asked in the name of one or
more of the electors.
Acting as Republican observer
at the confused canvassing pro-
cedure, DR.. Rex p. Cranson de-
cided that many Roosevelt votes
would be disallowed If a recount
is undertaken.
81 am strongly urging such a
step" DR.. Cranson said "Of
course, II makes no difference
now to either Dewey or Roose-
veit, but IL makes a lot Of diff
ference To the Repu can
administration.
"On petition Of Detroit cleo
ton officials, Gov. Kelly called
the Legislature into special ses-
sion TO extend the voting hours
here until 10 p. m.
Democrats are now trying TO
place the onus for this out
rageous muddle on the COVER
nor. The onus belongs here in
Detroit"
COURT ORDER LIKELY
County Clerk Lingeman an
nouneed he would suggest today
TO Prosecutor Bowling that the
county ask a court order permit
ting the canvassers TO count the
ballots in the missing precincts.
RECOUNT LAW CITED
Under the recount law passed
in 1885, ballots can be recounted
even though they are not tied and
sealed, providing the container
has been sealed.
The present statute also rules
that il is not distinguishing
mark" invalidating the ballot.
when the voter extended his "X'
beyond the square or the circle.
During the famed Groesbeck-
Brucker recount in 1880, ballots
were thrown out when a mark
crossed the borders of the square
or circle and when the ballots
were found unsealed.
The Supreme Court, in that
case, also ruled that the absence
of tally book does not affect the
legality of the ballots and that
they must be recounted.
After investigating the Devil
dering muddle, l.. S. District Atty.
Lehr said:
There Is no evidence Of
fraud. But there IL plenty Of
evidence Of negligence and in
competence"
