Then ho Instituted proceedings to force a recount- A part ot tho contention ot tho county Attorney's office, which rep resented tno election board In re blstlng Gray's suit, waa that Oray'n petition did not specifically sot forth any election Irregularities or mention precincts In which they aro alleged to have occurred, However, Gray's at torneys produced a California de cision that a recount 1b necessary, oven though the allegations are gen eral In character. That the recount will bo mndo shortly Is tho belief of Assistant County Attorney Jnmes Harrington, who appeared for tho election board. Tho exact date N yet undecided. Harrington explained Wednesday that John I.. Hmlley, secretary of the election board, Is out of the state on a lengthy visit, and that Monroo Neal, another member. Is seriously 111, and that tho absence of these twn members necessitates somo pro visions for a legal recount. While he and Judgo .Biddison do in. I agree on this point. Harrington believes the court has power to ap point two temporary members of the olectlon bo.tnl to mako the recount. Harrington hi Id ho probably will as certain from tho statu election board whether this Is possible. No appeal to the supremo court from Judge Bid dlson's decision Is contemplated, he advised. In the meantime, there li no legal ly qualified democratic nominee for county slieilff and there can be none until a certificate of nomination Is Usucd. Steel Merger DccMon Soon. WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.
