luton also called for appointment
of representatives to all Govern

sumption of the federally paid ar
bitration system and for appropria-
ton OF more funds for the National

declared.

Markey To
Contest O'Conor
Election
Charges $4,000 Ballots
We're Not Counted

Col. d. John Markey, Republican,
will contest the election of Governor
Herbert r. O'Conor, Democrat, to the
United States Senate, it is stated, and
will carry before the Senate itself a
challenge of the correctness of the
vote count, which gave Governor
O'Conor 2,206 majority.
William C. Purnell, local attorney,
who managed the Markey campaign,
made tkis announcement, pointing
out tina. Maryland law makes no pro-
vision Tor a recount in general
election.
However, Mr.. Purnell added, it is
the duty of the Senate to decide on
the qualifications of it's members ana
whether they have been properly
elected
Numerous charges of Irregular
ties and possible fraud have reached
Col Markey's headquarters, Mr..
Purnell's statement in behalf of Col.
Markey declared.
These require careful investiga-
ton, ard such an investigation will
be made. If the carges are substanti-
ated, these also will be presented to
the Senate"
In the recent election, Gov. O'Con-
or, a Democrat, defeated Col. Mar
key, the Republican nominee, in the
closest Senate contest in Maryland
history.
The challenge to the election of
Governor O'Conor is based chiefly on
the Markey claim that possibly
$4,000 ballots were not counted by
election judges, although the reason
for rejecting them may have had no
relation at all to the correctness of
the voters choice for United States
senator
