Govern or Olcott made a net gain of three votes during the recount of 15 Multnomah county precincts this morning and when court re cessed at noon Olcott'a net gain for all of the precincts counted ln the state stood at four. This morning Olcott lost three votes and gained five while Hall lost two and gained one. Slower counting this morning reduced the possibility of com pleting the recount of Multnomah county before Wednesday. Sub poenas calling on the clerks of Clackamas, Columbia and Clat sop counties to produce their bal lot boxes in Portland for recount ing are ready to be signed but Judge Bingham announced . at noon that the court had not yet decided to grant the request of the attorneys that the recount be carried further here. Forty Multnomah . county pre cincts remain to be counted on the stipulated list and more may be added. '-' May Fizzle Out Rumors that the 'recount pro ceedings are likely to fizzle out before the case goes to argument by reason of the failure of the recount to substantiate in any degree the Hall charges were, in a measure given some credence by a statement of W. S. U'Ren, at torney for the contestant, this morning. In stating that the con testant might ask permission to recount additional Multnomah county precincts without formal ly' amending his petition on the strength of additional informa tion secured, lr. U'Ren said: "I am not certain that this will be done, however. So much of the Information furnished us has been proven unfounded that we are beginning to doubt the value of it. The gratifying thing about this recount to me has been the proof of the accuracy and integ rity of the election boards." - Olcott's counsel intimated that it might allow a request of the contestant to recount additional precincts, provided that the Hall forces , would allow a recount of certain other precincts where, the contestee has reason to believe, there were gross errors in the fav orable Hall vole.- Back to Salem Recount proceedings will novo (Continued on Page Five.)
