The Tories alleged "irre ulari- ties" witb, some of tbe gallots counted election night. Based on election nigbt t abula- tions,. Milîs was declared the winner by only eight votes over Kemp.. An official count of-ballots at the returning office the next day increased Mills' margin .to 63 votes.

Premier Bob Rae also. apoin- ted Milis as parliamentar assis- tant to Solicitor-General Mike Farnan. Tory candidate Kemp. was not available for comment on the recount resuits.
