Court Decision Jtolscs Mel hod of
Count Wilson and Mnrshnll He-
llered to Hare Won.
Los Angeles Cnl. Nov. 22. A de-
cision of the appellate court handed
down today apparently insures a ma-
jority . for Woodrow Wilson in (Cali-
fornia of about 150 votes and nearly
all If not all of the electors sent by
the Btato to tho electoral college.
For a time It was believed that the
decision had the effect of throwing
out. of the official count the entire
vote of Los Angeles county which
gave Roosevelt more than 20000 plu
rality but advices from the office- of
the secretary of state at Sacramento
proved this fear unfounded. - .
The court decided that In one pre-
cinct in Pasadena and one in Los An-
geles only the votes for J. A. Wal-
lace head elector on the progressive
ticket and Thomas B. Griffith head
elector on the democratic ticket may
be counted because in checking all
tho other electors In these precincts
the election boards kept no tally of
the votes cast merely certifying the
totals. This the court held invalidat-
ed these votes.
The two precincts together gave
Roosevelt a majority of about two
hundred ' votes.
The court ordered a .recount In
which tally marks for- each elector
should be counted. -
