DECLARES LAW WAS VIOLATED.

Clark County Chairman May Demand Recount of Votes. JEFFERSONVILLE, IND. The Clark county board of election commissioners finished its work of canvassing the county returns and prepared to certify them to the secretary of state. Newton H. Myers, Republican county chairman, is considering a proposal to ask for a recount on the ground that the election board adjourned twice before certifying the totals. He asserts this action is in violation of the state election law, which provides that the board must remain in session continuously at the first meeting held to canvass the vote until the cojint is completed.
