Tho election of W. E. Havcrstock. the re

dependent School District of Council Muffs
by two votes will, It Is expected, lead to a
contest by tho defeated democratic candi
date, George S. Davis. The figures returned

inntlon. Tho position of Charles McDonald,
tho candldato of Harl's committee, Is ono
of uncertainty. The people of his ward want
him for ward alderman, hut while this is
the caso, there oeoras no doubt hut what
his namo will be brought before the conven
tion for mayor. II. II. Field was spoken
of yesterday im a probable candldato, and
tho namo of W. F. Sapp was also spoken
of. A number of the business men are to tho secretary of tho Hoard of Education
hoping to bo able to Induce Fred Davis to by tho Judges of tho several precincts show

Galvln's candidacy during tho last few days

friends expect to tee him land tho nomina

Wheeler also has a strong support. Indi

For tho nomination for city engineer the

and 1ICS for Davis.
There was also a few changes In tho vote
for school directors, but not of sufllclent Im
portance to mako nny differenco In the re
sult. In tho report published yesterday a
transposition of figures In tho totals gave
Haln, tho defeated democratic candidate for

whereas on tho contrary Shugart received
seventy-three more votes than Haln.
