’ 5 BOTH CLAIM ELECTION BY RECOUNT Selectman Stahle’s Attorney Figures Him Elected Now By 11 Votes Instead of 6 in'Stonington Contest—Counsel for J. W. Chesebro Claims His Man Elected By About 635 to 632 Votes Over Stahle. Before Judge Milton W. Shumway in chambers here on Friday about noon the matter of the contested election for selectman in Stonington came up, with Attorney Frank L. McGuire ap- pearing for the petitioner, who is J. W. Chesebro, the defeated democratic candidate for the office, and Attorney Herbert W. Rathbun appearing for the republican, Henry Stahle, whose elec- tion Mr. Chesebro challenges, Since the ballot boxes were opened by order of the superior court judge and recounted, both attorneys ~have been given opportunity to look over the 106 which they have placed in the disputed class and to figure out what would have upon the result election, if the ballots they are willing to concede are legal and valld could be counted as they should be. Of the 106 ballots which they have picked out as disputed, Attorney Me- Guire is willing to concede that 18 are valid ballots and should be count- ed, but 88 should not be counted for anybody. Mr. Rathbun finds only 60 which are invalid. Of the 18 mentioned Attorney Mc- Guire would give 7 to his client. Mr. “heseb and 11 to Mr. Stahle. As stood Chesebro 628 and 21 on the ballots that the at- reed -were, undisputed, this ent of the disputed ballots, owed, would upset the election of e, giving him 632 votes s §35. In the October election when the moderator declared he total vote, he announced 651 votes hle and 845 for Chesebro, which ote upon which Mr. Stahle 4 elected. way apportions the two candidates after the he votes to __NORWICH _BULLETIN, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1912 which dam is meant, whether for a dam that-was bullt yea and destroyed or the new dam that replaced the olg one. n Isabel S.

The plaint!ff 1s of Bal- tic ‘and the defendant now of Staten Island. They were married June 16, 1884, recount, Attorney Rathbun brings his client in elected by better figures than the official returns gave. On the re- viseq total he makes the figures stand, Stahle 653, Chesebro 642. This comes about through allowing that 46 of the disputed 106 are valid votes and that 32 of them ought to be counted for the republican and 14 of them for the dem- ocratic candidate for selectman. Attorney Rathbun said after the hearing Friday that the 60 ballots which he clalmed were invalld were divided into 17 different classifications according to the various ways in which they were marked or unmarked or otherwise mutilated to make them fn- valid. Attorney McGuire said he had | 18 different varieties of illegal bal- lots in the 88 that he claimed were vold and not entitled ta be counted. Of the entire number of 108 disputed between 60 and 65 are republican bal- lots, it is Stated. Quo Warranto. There was argument of the motion that the quo ranto _proceedings against Attorney Ernest M. Chadwick, alleging that he acted as a justice of the peace wrongfully, be ~quashed. Judge Shumway took the papers. At- torney Morgan wanted $75 to cover the expense the plaintiff was put to. When court comes in Tuesday the Spottswood case will be resumed.
