NO RECOUNT OF VOTE ON CLERK THIS WEEK

Clerk-Elect Nichols Files Motion For Change of Judge—Outside Judge to Act.

When the petition for a recount of the vote on county clerk was called in court thid morning Mr. Nichols, by his attorney, W. H. Parkinson, asked for a change of judge to act on the petition. The petition was granted and Judge Hanley, from whom the change was asked, either this afternoon or tomorrow, will present Hie names of there outside attorneys from which to select a judge to hear the petition for a recount. Each side has the privilege of rejecting one of the three, and the remaining judge will act in the case. Each side has three days in which to reject their man, so it will probably be well toward the middle of next week before action is taken for a recount. J. H. Chapman is acting as attorney for Mr. Hershman.
