BUCOCML

While Governor Lowden. of Illinois, was not a contestant in the Ohio and New Jersey primaries, he has not run first in say primary state except Ullnoin and there he received only about S2 per cent, of the total vote. It has long been apparent to many Indiana Republicans to conclude that he has chance of carrying Indiana and that the issue in -Indians is whether Wood or Johnson is to be preferred. Majority Against Him. While Harding received a email plurality in Ohio over Wood, the almost complete re turds show that the majority of the Republicans in Ohio are against him. Several of the Wood candidates for delegate to the national convention were elected in Ohio. j Harry M. Daugherty. Harding's na- I tional manager, who was put up as a candidate for delegate-at-large at the request of Harding, was defeated, according to the incomplete returns.

I COLUMBUS. O., April 28.—Late returns today from yesterday’s presidential primary election in Ohio, from 5,383 of the 5,882 precincts in the state, showed that Senator Harding was leading Leonard Wood by 12,693 votes. The vote in these precincts stood: For Harding, 115,944; for Wood, 1032251. Additional return* late today Indicated that thirty-eight and possibly forty of the forty-eight delegates to the Republican national convention may be pledged to Senator Harding on first choice. Wood May Get Tea. The same return* which may be altered in one or two districts on later advices showed that Wood probably would have eight and possibly ten delegates. Returns showed three,of the four delegates-at-large apparently elected pledged to Harding and one pledged to Wood. Harding candidates had no opposition in three counties and appear to have carried fourteen district* Wood candidates apparently were successful in three district* Two districts still were in doubt, but in one of these district* — the Nineteenth (Youngstown)—one Wood and one Harding candidate appeared to be leadin* on available return* Delegatee-at-Laege.
