ART. 33] PRIMARY ELECTIONS. 591

In case said petition only specifies a part of the precincts in which
the petitioner was voted for and if on completion of said review and
recount of such specified precincts the result of the count of the judges
of election in said county, municipality, district or other political
division is thereby changed, then the opposing candidate thus affected
may appeal within two days of the said determination, to said Super-
visors of Elections from the action and decision of the judges of elec-
tion in counting the ballots in the remaining precincts of said county,
municipality, ward, legislative district or other political division in
which he was voted for and ask them to recount and recanvass said
remaining precincts, which they shall immediately proceed to do, and
in each such case the cost of the completion of said recount and recan-
vass shall be paid by the county or municipality, as the case may be.

Whenever such appeal from the determination and action of the
judges of election is held as aforesaid and completed the said super-
visors shall correct the returns and certificate of any canvassing board
which may have been made of said primary election and shall give to
the person so found to be nominated as a candidate or selected as a
delegate or member of a party committee or other position as the result
of said recount a new certificate of nomination or election in conform-
ity with the result of said recount and recanvass and shall certify the
same to the proper authorities as said candidate's certificate of nomina-
tion or selection.

And the corrected certificate of nomination or selection given as
aforesaid as the result of such recount shall supersede and stand in lieu
of and in place of any certificate of nomination given by any canvass-
ing board and shall have all the effect in law of the ordinary certificate
given by any canvassing board under the provisions of the primary
laws of this State which it will thus supersede to the extent of the
territory covered by said review and recount.

And upon such petition and appeal as is herein provided for being
filed before the completion of any canvass by the ordinary canvassing
board of the State or of any county or municipality thereof such board
shall adjourn over and their canvass shall be suspended until the appeal
review, recount and recanvass herein provided for shall have been com-
pleted, SO' that said board shall make their certificate conform to the
action and finding and to the certificate given by said Supervisors of
Elections so sitting as judges of election on appeal.

Nothing in this section shall affect or prejudice any rights of any
person to contest the result of any primary election or to institute pro-
ceedings to invalidate the same.

Senatorial Primaries.
