 state campaign committee is quoted az follows:
 While we have not the figures thor euKhlv compiled yet we are certain that MT. Yerkes carried Kentucky by smal though safe majority.
 'The result is very close. I think thai it will probably require tho official coun1 to determine how the state goes. Wher 1 left headquarters.
