At the same time that he appeals to nearby ships, other branches of the Coast Guard rush cutters and planes out from the nearest ports.

unofficial returns from the remain
der, Gov. O'Conor, the Democratic
candidate, had 236,500 against Mr..
Markey's 234,994.
The missing precincts included
four in Baltimore City and one In
Kent County. J
The Baltimore Sun, meanwhile,
reiterated that Gov. O'Conor was
elected, pointing out that he stood
to gain some 200 votes from dis
puted returns in Baltimores 9th

Supervisors has ordered an inyesti-
cation into what it called an ap-

to an earlier statement that final.
official returns would see their
candidate elected by 500 or more
votes. They also inquired into
stories that two persons had been
allowed to vote under the same

Although there was still no Off
