Will it be an embarassment for Gore campaign if after this hand recounts, Gore looses by a wider margin?
====

The action was fast and furious on every front Monday. Among the developments:

- New Polk County figures showed a 100-vote gain for Bush from recount totals originally announced by the county this weekend.

-Volusia County, a Democratic-leaning jurisdiction, awarded Bush a net gain of 33 votes after a full day of recounts. The Deland, Fla., officials also sued in state court to extend the 5 p.m. Tuesday deadline. Gore and Bush quickly joined the case as did Palm Beach County.

-Officials in Democratic-leaning Broward County, with Fort Lauderdale as its hub, found only four additonal votes for Gore after hand couting 3,892 ballots.

-Officials in Palm Beach County, a Democratic bastion, announced that workers will begin hand counting 425,000 ballots Tuesday and expect to finish Sunday.

- A hearing was scheduled for Tuesday in Miami-Dade County, site of what Gore hopes will be his fourth manual recount. In Osceola County, Democrats withdrew their request for a manual recount.
