Your committee, however, finds that in precinct 26 of the county. of Socorro there were eleven illegal votes cast by persons who were not citizens of the United States which were counted and returned for the said contestee, Benjamin Sanchez, and deducting these said eleven illegal votes as cast and counted for the said Benjamin Sanchez from the votes he received, as shown by the face of the returns, your committee finds, that he received sixteen hundred and fiftynine, and that therefore, the said Pablo Trujillo received a majority of six of the legal votes cast at said election in the said counties of Socorro and Sierra, and is entitled to the office of Representative from the said Seventh Legislative District of the Territory of New Mexico, and your committe recommends that the said Pablo Tru

jillo be declared elected to said office and sworn in to hold the same. Mr. Llewellyn introduced the following resolution:

Third.
