Show HAYES WANTS SIE CBS JOB Colonel A B Hayes has announced his intention to contest the election of I H Spencer a a member of the constitutional convention from this county According to the jreturns a certified to the Utah commission by the several judges of election in this county coun-ty Mr Spencer na a majority of six votes over Mr Hayes Wen Interviewed by a Herald representative rep-resentative yesterday Colonel Hayes said he was not in a position to discuss the matter to any great extent at present pres-ent but that it might be set down as a fact that he would contest Mr Spen cers seat in the convention S He could not give the grounds of the contest at present but I is to be presumed pre-sumed that it wU be based on an allegation alle-gation that there is an error In the tally sheets It will be remembered that at first the total vote as figured by the commission com-mission gave Sir Hayes the election over Mr Spencer but on going over the returns again a clerical error was discovered which gave Mr Spencer a larger vote than Mr Hayes At the time there was no claim made by any member of the commission that there was any irregularity in the tally sheets save this error which was very clear and the Republican members readily assented to the correction being made The returns from this county a collected col-lected by The Herald did not Indicate the election of Mr Hayes and from the first the claim was made that the Democrats had elected six and possibly seven of the delegates I will be interesting to learn the exact grounds of the Hayes contest and there is little doubt but that Mr Spencer will retain his seat until the close of the convention at least when he may be willing to resign 1 to Mr Hayes without the formality of contest I proceedings i FOURTH
