Charles I McNary, Justice of the Su preme Court, and Henry L. Benson, Circuit Judg-o of the Thirteenth Dis trict, are tied for the Republican nom ination for Justice of the Supreme Court, according- to Information re ceived by Justice McNarr tonight. Expert accountants of Judge Benson yesterday discovered a mistake of 20 votes in the official count In Judge Benson's favor in Multnomah County. Justice McNary tonight received tele grams that a mistake of two votes had been- made in Judge McNary's favor in Yamhill County and a mistake In his favor of five votes in Wasco-County. This reduces the plurality of seven announced this morning- in favor of Judge Benson to a tie. "I received a telegram from an offi cial source in Yamhill County tonight," said Justice McNary, "that a rechecklng of the count there showed I had gained two votes. The chairman of the Repub lican central committee of Wasco County wired me tonight that he had discovered five votes there. In my favor." Recoaat Suggested to Benson. Before receiving the telegrams from Yamhill and Wasco Counties, Justice McNary wired Judge Benson, who Is tn Portland, that he would like a friendly contest requiring a recount of the bal lots tn Multnomah County, and. If ad visable. In other counties. Justice McNary said that the mistake discovered by Judge Benson's experts In Multnomah County and the mis take discovered In Yamhill County Indi cated that there might be other mis takes, and that he thought it but right that an attempt be made to determine If there are any more errors In the count. Judge McNary's telegram to Judge Benson follows: "Am informed by the press that experts employed by you have discov ered an error in the votes in Multno mah County. If this be true, I propose a friendly contest Involving- the re count of the ballots in Multnomah County and such other counties as you desire with a recount of the tally sheets of each county in the state," Reasons for Recount Told. After receiving the telegram from Yamhill County, Justice McNary issued the following statement: "Relying upon the article " In The Morning Oregonian of this date, I as sumed that Judge Benson would com munioate with me concerning the al leged discrepancies in Multnomah County. But not having heard from him I felt, on account of the closeness of the vote, that it was advisable to send htm the telegram which I did. "A turther incentive is a report which I received tonight from the County Clerk of Yamhill County to the effect that Judge Benson had been credited with two votes in excess of those he actually received. "In view of the size of the vote. Its closeness, as well as the apparent discrepancies discovered In the returns from some of the counties, I feel that an attempt should be made to ascer tain If there are any more errors In the count." Emery, who has been night policeman for a number of years. No charges were presented aaginst Emery, and no reason was given him for the election at this time, but It is rumored that a jail delivery of a week ago has been laid to him. A local prisoner, held for giving liquor to minors, disappeared one night from the Jail, the door having been opened with a key. The key had been kept In a hiding place In the chief of police's office, and it was supposed no one but the chief and the night police man knew of It. The escaped prisoner was recaptured and swore that he had been liberated, and Intimated that his liberator was the night policeman. The officer, however, denied the accusation and secured legal counsel to prove his innocence. This is believed to have been the cause of the summary elec tion of his successor last night.

ERROR REPORTED BY COFFEY Cleric Tells Secretary of State of Change In Vote Here. County Clerk Coffey yesterday noti fied Secretary of State Olcott of the changes he had made In the abstract of the vote for Supreme Court Justices. These changes were made here on a re count which show that Judge Benson has defeated Justice McNary for the nomination for Supreme Court Justice by seven votes Instead of Justice Mc Nary defeating Judge Benson . by 13 votes. The mistake In the count for Justice McNary was In Precinct 78, In which he was credited with 54 votes Instead of 84. This reduces Justice McNary's total from 13,241 to 13,221 and gives Benson a lead of seven. Another error found gives Circuit Judge Cleeton 10 more votes for Su preme Court Justice. The change in his vote Is in Precinct 24. He should have had 38 votes Instead of 28. This makes Judge Cleeton's count 14,747 In stead of 14,737. He, however, did not need the extra 10 votes for his nomination. PACIFIC FINAL DAY HERE Forest Grove University Begins Its Commencement Tomorrow. PACIFIC UNIVERSITY, Forest Grove. Or., June 11.
