INTERNAT10KAL NEWS SERVICE INDIANA fO LIS, May 3. -Doubtful Indiana," always wavering- between Democratic and Republican fealty, never was more doubtful than today when the Republicans' senatorial contest between Senator Harry S. New and ex-Senator Albert J. Beveridge wi split almost fifty-fifty on the face of incomplete returns from yesterday's state-wide primary elections. Fifteen hundred and eight precincts at nine o'oclock gave New 75.277. Beverldge 72.483. Partial returns had been received from eighty counties, leaving twelve unheard from, and these eighty were split forty-fifty. Indications were that New had carried Fort "Wayne. South Bend, Evansvllle and Marion industrial centers while it looked like Beverldge had won Terre Haute in addition to L-ake county and the cities of Richmond and Muncie. While political America poised a sensitive Index finger on Indiana's agitated pulse, the tedious count of yesterday's primary returns was continued and with scarcely more than a third of the state's 3,384 precincts checked Senator New had only a scant margin of 1,172 votes over his "Progressive" opponent. The tally for 1,244 scattered precincts gave New 58.546 and Beverldge 55.374. At New headquarters today the prediction was made that the senator would be nominated by 6,000 to 10,000 majority. The figures had dwindled from a forecast of 75,000 majority. Headquarters of Beverldge today forecast a victory for the ex-senator by 10,000 to 15,000 majority. The original prediction gave Beverldge 100,000 votes to spare. To those who consider themselves "unbiased observers." however, it was either man's race. As the morning wore on, Fred T. King, state manager for Senator New, insisted the incumbent will carry the state by S.800 votes. At the same time he conceded that Beverldge had carried seven of the thirteen congressional districts. Fgures compiled at New headquarters would indicate the senator will carry the first district by 3,000 majority, second by 450, seventh V.suo, twelfth 2,500. thirteenth 850. To BeveriJfie, the New camp conceded these districts: Third by 1,050 votes, fifth 500, sixth 1,400, eighth 3.050, ninth 1.600. tenth 1,050, an I eleventh by 950. Comparison of the two sets of figures gives the predicted majority of 5,800. Clarence H. Martin. Beverldge's manager, would make no statement. One of the biggest surprises in the primaries was the reversal of dope In Lake county, probably the most highly organised "machine" center in the state. New headquarters admitted early in the counting that the Calumet district, counted en for a big Nef majority, was hopelessly lost. Hiram Johnson carried Lake county by an aval(Continued on page six.)

HAMMOND IT MUCH EXCITED
City Records Miserably Low Vote In County Primaries Yesterday Hammond seems to have been about the least excited spot In the county during the primary yesterday. It was a miserably low vote which was recorded. Not over onefourth of the total registered vote turned out. Beveridge and New ran neck and neck with the odds favoring Beverldge. Will R. Wood received a neat percentage of the vote In spite of the surprising showing of Anderson, the wet unknown. Thirteen out of twenty precincts polled a total vote of only a little over 2,000. These showed Hunter leading for treasurer with Fifield second and Groves third. Dyer was handed a vote of nearly three to one over KUligrew, while Seeley for surveyor led Wallace by 300. Hammond's light vote spelled disaster for Dyer in the clerk contest, for it was from his home town that he was expecting to pile up a lead sufficient to offset the showing of his opponent In his strongholds. A tabulation of the vote at Crown Point of precincts 1, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17. 19 and 20 of Hammond gave Klllgrew 644 against Dyer's 1.432. The Twelfth precinct, from which a strong labor vote for Killigrew had been predicted, gave him only 81 against Dyer's 90. Following is the result of thirteen precincts: I U. S.. Senator Beverldge, 1.142; New. 981. Congressman Wood, 1,029; Anderson, 493; Strom, 210; Washington, 186.

DEVILISH DEPREDATION Police Chief Bunde has called upon his captlans and lieutenants to round up the gang of vandals that wantonly destroyed hundreds of dollars worth of trees and shrubbery in the park at the Conkey printing plant. The park, laid out by company officials at a cost of several thousand dollars, Is used by employes and is one of the prettiest In the city. Several nights ago the first raid on the park was made. Trees were hacked, shrubbery uprooted. Recurrent depradations of the band of vandals has aroused the company officials and police. They are determined to ferret out the malefactors and Chief Bunde has given orders to comb the east side, for any clew that may lead to identification of the gang. Mr. Conkey has offered a reward of $25 for confidential Information leading to the arrest of the culprits. Scores of beautiful shade trees Just beginning to flower were girdled. They will die. CALLS FOR MEMORIAL DAY EXERCISES Organizations, civic, fraternal, military, anticipating taking part in the Memorial Day exercises are urged to send representatives tonight to a meeting called by Attorney Joe Todd In Room 3, Superior Court Building at 8 p. m. A permanent organization for formulating plans for the day's celebration will be established tonight. Officers of organizations who are unable to appoint delegates to the meeting through lack of time to reach them are urged themselves to be present. Notices sent out previously stating that the meeting would be held at the Chamber of Commerce are corrected here to say that the place has been changed to tly Superior Court Building.

MISS MARGARET WALSH Gaze on the lovely likeness of Miss Margaret Walsh. The likeness, however, Is not so lovely as the original. Some hundreds of admirers will attest that. Miss Walsh is the winner of the Columbia A. C. popularity contest. She was awarded first prize, a handsome diamond ring. The closest runner-up among the fifty contestants was Miss 'Anna Deering. She got second prize, a lavelierre. Miss Walsh Is a Junior at All Saints high school. She lives at 600 Douglas avenue. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Walsh. Miss Deering, a Hammond girl, is cashier jat the Majestic restaurant. The popularity contest brought to a close a week's entertainment for benefit of the Columbia C, of West Hammond. -The shows were staged under the -direction of the Great White Way people. So suc cessful was the entertainment that contracts were signed to bring the same shows to West Hammond next year. More than a $1,000 was net ted by the Columbia A. C. BURGLAR VISITS , HAMMOND FOLK Several Residences on the South Side of City Entered by Marauder. While the hectic brows of campaign fevered householders sought solace in the cool comfort of white shrouded pillows, a master burglar entered at least five south side residences in the sacred Homewood district, and for all the police know may have entered a dozen others, not reported. This master crook made his nocturnal visits between midnight and morning. His method of operation was the same in every instance. Browsing leisurely through the personal effects of his victims, while they slept, he took only cash. No Jewelry tempted him and as for clothing poof! that never entered his mind. He likes to enter by side windows. A box, a pail, or some such slight elevation is all that he requires. He "Jimmies" windows with remarkable aptitude and leaves no tell-tale mark. In one of the places he deigned to use a skeleton key and entered by a rear door. But that is too ordinary and he prefers to make his entree by way of a window. Some of his victims last night, were: Charles Kingwill. 51 Ruth street, who lost $10 in cash, taken from a bureau drawer. Judge Fred Barnett, 44 Elizabeth street. Dr. William E. Nichols, 15 Warren street. P. Prendergast, 11 Warren street. Jake Schloer, 43 Ruth street. With the exception of Klngwlll's residence none of the others lost anything. The burglar may have intended to start at the east end of Ruth street and go straight through to State Line on the west. He ran into a snag, somehow, at 4 7 Ruth street, for he skipped that dwelling after ransacking Klngwlll's, and proceeded on to Schloer's on the west. Telephones were busy this morning as neighbors called one another in all parts of the south side to tell about suspicious persons they'd seen loitering about; suspicious foot prints they'd found in their lawns; and other suspicious incidents that certainly looked like they were about to be burglarized, but that ths bandit was frelghtened away. Folks out there are - thinking about reorganizing the home guards that proved so useful during the late war. Of course, it has been pointed out, there may be some dissatisfaction with the color of the uniforms that were worn by the original organization, but this probably can' be remedied with decorations of gold braid, it being quite popular this season. Police, through Chief Emil Bunde, want to warn householders not to leave windows open at night. LAFATETTE, Ind.. May 3.

VOTE IS A Anderson, Wet Candidate, Puts It Over Congressman "Wood East Chicago, looked upon as the pivotal spot of Lake county in many of the primary contests, turned out a comparatively heavy -vote but it lacked several thousands of reaching the estimates which were made late yesterday. The highest vote cast was for treasurer, eighteen precincts out of nineteen giving a total vote of 3,071 against a registration of nearly 10,000. These eighteen precincts gave preference to New, Anderson, Roe, Killigrew, Groves and Wallace in their respective fields. These were the onts on which attention had been facued. One of the surprises was the showing made by Anderson the "beer and wine" candidate for Congressman. Following is the total for 18 precincts: TJ. S. Senator Beverldge. 1.280; New, 1,458.

Ralston early today apparently had a walk-away In the race for the democratic nomination for United States Senator, on the face of meagre returns the former Governor will be nominated by a small landslide small because of the comparatively light democratic vote. Dan W. Slmms was running a poor second, with Dr. Jesse Sanders of Garrett, "unknown"' but an out and out wet, giving the LaFayette man a merry chase. Sanders supplied the surprise element in the democratic battle. Bernard B. Shlvely, It appeared, was trailing for down the list. The fifth democratic candidate, Charles Howard, had garnered a few votes. REALTY CO. BUYS HAMMOND LOTS Through a real estate transaction involving approximately $10,000, the Smith-Bader Davidson Company, of East Chicago, represented by Geo. H.

VOTED AT Gary with some 16,000 registered voters sent about half of them to the ' polls yesterday which ' was slightly ' better than the showing made in other cities of the north en of the county. Twenty-two precincts ut of 81 at noon, today Indicated that Beveridge would poll nearly twice as many votes as Senator New In Gary. Killigrew was leading Dyer by less than 600 votes, which provided some surprise for the Dyer lads who were looking for much heavier returns for "Johnny" there. Fifield was the favorite in the treasureship scrap, while Seeley took the count in favor of Wallace. The race for trustee of Calumet township elates the women folks for it is practically assured that Mary Newlin will be the nominee out of the field of five.

These were the conclusions reach, ed by political cages assembled at the county seat today as returns from yesterday's primary election slowly percolated 'n from the reaches of the county. PREDICTIONS HAT GO BT BOARD On several of the other contests ' they would hazard so prediction. Things looked bad for Ray Seeleys re-nomination and the treasureshlp scrap had developed into a horse race between Groves and Fifield. Groves has the edge in the north pre clncts but the lead was not great enough but that it could be offset by the south-enders. A hasty tabulation of thirty-three precincts shortly before noon gave a fair Idea of how things were going. These figures (not official) were 13 precincts in Gary. 4 from Whiting. 2 from St. John Township and 1 from Wlnfleld township. These show little on the race for representatives as there were twelve candidates in the field and each com munity returned a different set of favorites.
