fBy Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. May 5. Major-General Leonard Wood continued to make slight gains over Johnson, his nearest opponent for the Indiana presidential preferential vote in yesterday's state-wide primary as returns continued to be tabulated. Returns from 2,520 precincts out of 3,387 this afternoon give Wood 64,888, Johnson 59,225, Lowden 30,014, Harding 16.063. Warren T. McCray continued to pile up his early majority in the Republican contest for nomination for governor, and when tabulation of 2,163 precincts had been completed McCray had 71.520 to 42.026 for James W. Fesler, of Indianapolis, and 26,775 for E. C. Toner, of Anderson. Dr. McCulloch Easy Winner. Dr. Carleton McCulloch had a large plurality in the race for the Democratic nomination for governor. When 1,534 precincts had been accounted for he had polled 31.738 votes In those precincts as compared with 9.318 for Mason Niblack. of Vincennes, 9.230 for John Isenbarger, of North Manchester, and 7,024 for J. K. Risk of Lafayette. United States Senator James E. Watson was renominated without opposition on the Republican ticket, and his opponent in the November election will be Former United States Senator Thomas Taggart, who likewise was unopposed, and in a number of counties their names did not appear on the ballot. In others, all the names of the candidates appeared, and this election experts declares accounts for the closeness of the votes being counted in the precincts.

Fair warm weather which prevailed cut down the vote, say political experts, who added that the ruling of the state erection commissioners that writing in of the names of candidates on a ticket invalidated the entire ballot, also tended to lessen the total vote cast. The vote itself was considered a puzzle by the experts who gave up trying to account for the trend in various counties. In Harrison county, election day was marred by the sudden death of J. L.
