Tho election of W. E. Havcrstock. the re
publican candidate, ns treasurer of the In
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
say

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
consent to go heforo tho convention, but a slight differenco to those reported Mon
up to last night he had not agreed to do so. day night. Tho first llgures reported and

Galvln's candidacy during tho last few days
hns taken on a Inrgo-slzed boom and his
friends expect to tee him land tho nomina
tion. Scott has undoubtedly a largo num
ber of tho delegates pledged to him, while
Wheeler also has a strong support. Indi

the former slightly In the lead.

For city treasurer thero are two candi

For tho nomination for city engineer the
names of Thomas Tostevln and Harley

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

Shugart. tho defeated republican candldato,
whereas on tho contrary Shugart received
seventy-three more votes than Haln.
