California Will Start Official Counting Today.

The official count of the California vote in the presidential election will begin today and steps have been taken not only to expedite the work, but to insure its accuracy. Both the democratic and republican state central committees have engaged checkers and attorneys to scrutinize the count of each tally sheet and Sunday evening all .preparations were reported complete. Except in Los Angeles and San Francisco, the tally sheets sent in to the precinct election officers will be before the board of supervisors in each county. In San Francisco city' and county election returns will be handled by the election committee and in Los Angeles county by the registrar of voters. There is not expected to be any change-in the final result, however, and the republican* managers have conceded the State to Wilson.
