COLLINS IN THE LEAD.
Ahead in Race for Delegate to
Chicago Convention.
THE KING COUNTY PRIMARIES.
The Opposition May Possibly secure
Enough Votes to Combine ana
Defeat Collins.

John Collins, W. H. White. F. A. NC
Donald and ID. O. Finch are the King
county men who are anxious to go to the
National Democratic convention at Chi
cago. and their friends fought for them at
the county primaries held yesterday ailer-
noon and evening. The effort was to cap
ture the delegates to the county conven-
ton and secure Endorsement for one OF the
candidates mentioned. John Collins had
worked the hardest, and he has surely
twenty-four of the fifty-six delegates from
the city; Mcdonald has five, White ten
and Finch six, while eleven are unknown.
The whole opposition to Coiiins
IS certainly twenty-one votes, and II can
easily be consolidated against him.
Whether he has majority or not OF the
delegates from the city depended on the
complexion of the undetermined eleven.
Several of them, and perhaps all. Will be
in the opposition. There are, however,
eighty votes in the country. Billiards.
delegation of five is said to be against Col
Inns. The men are I. w. Lake, w. IL.
Dill, John McNab, George Weber and
Edmund Peters. Collins expects two
thirds of the country vote. and his po-
sition as chairman of the county central
committe has certainly helped him to Sc
cure delegates. If the opposition to him
can handle the vote of the outside pre-
cincts, combination may easily be formed
to beat Collins.

Adolph Krug, Collins man was defeated.
The five delegates of the Seventh ward
are for Finch.
Collins expects three of the five dele
gates from the Eighth ward, though two

second precinct, Il. A. Dorr and H. F.
Heuss. The returns are not in from the
other precincts.
Of the six delegates from the Ninth
ward Collins hopes for two, though two
are surely for Mcdonald, and the others
may be also. An effort was made to beat
Mcdonald in his own ward, but the at
tempt was a complete failure at Fremont,
from which the returns are in. The vote
stood:
W. E. Root Al, F. A. Mcdonald Al, W. A.
