 Murphy May Be Defeated.
A RIFT IN THE LUTE
A rizona Apparently Out of Harmony
 With the United States.

The pleasure of the republicans of Phoenix in the sweeping national vic tory was greatly modified at a late hour last night by the doubt which the late returns cast over the result in this territory and county. Hope was by no means abandoned. On the face of reliable returns received at an early hour this morning Governor Murphy has a majority, but word received in directly from various sources indicate that it will be wiped out. It is report ed that Smith has carried Yuma by 200, Cochise by 300, and Mohave by PIP all unexpectedly large majorities. This town was carried by Governor Murphy by 262, rather more than had been ex- pected, but the full support expected from country precincts was not re- ceived. The indications are that Smith has greatly failed in Graham county, and particularly in the upper Gila valley, of the support upon which he and his friends had confidently count ed.
 The republican county ticket appears to have suffered severely, especially in the town where a heavy vote was looked Tor. The man with the pencil was busy and played havoc with the hopes of political candidates.
 The friends of MT. Fowler, candidate for the assembly, Charles w. Barnett for assessor, and A. J. Edwards for dis trlct attorney are hopeful of their cleo ton. But the precincts yet to be heard I those of Cave Creek and Mcdowell. The lat ter is said to have been almost solidly democratic.
 The following are the returns which had been received from the county and the territory at an early hour this morning.
