Precinct returns from the Republican pri-
mary election have come in so slowly to
County Chairman Elliott that it was found
TO be impossible yesterday to attempt a
tabulation OF the standing OF the candi-
dates on the county and township tickets.
In consequence. since no figuring could be
done by the chairman on incomplete returns.
the canvassing board did not meet yester-
day afternoon. It's meeting will be held
tomorrow when Chairman Elliott believes
the work of compilation will be complete.
The official count will be made to-day in
the county chairman's office and the results
Will be printed in the Journal tomorrow.
On account of the fact that the only tab
ulations made 50 far are unofficial. by
candidates themselves or their managers,
and that several precinct returns have not
been made, the result in a few cases is in
doubt The work Of the chairman and the
canvassing board may disclose INACCURACIES
which may change the situation in so far
the candidates for coroner. surveyor and
representatives are concerned. From un-
official tabulations made yesterday IL Is
probable that the ticket viii read as here

TUTEwILER SEEMS VICTOR.
The positions on the ticket in which the
most uncertainty lay as % the successful
candidates were coroner, three representa-
tives and surveyor. For these places the
race was neck and neck all the way. the
returns from each precinct as received be-
ing sufficient TO make a change hour by
hour. Dr.. Brayton's managers and those
who conducted the campaign for Tutewiler
were figuring steadily all day yesterday. al
ternately cheered and depressed by the fig
ures which came in. Dunlavy, who was in
the fight during the night before. ran far
behind by the time morning came and by
noon II was a toss up between Tutewiler
and Brayton The early returns seemed
TO indicate that Brayton would win by 200.
Later when delayed returns were received
from precincts where Tutewiler was strong
the face OF the situation was changed and
the undertaken took the lead His man.
ayers estimated al o'clock last night that
he would win by a small plurality-from $50
to 900. DR.. Nelson Brayton. tabulating the
vote for his father. said that in all prob
ability Tutewiler had been successful.
The same uncertainty was manifest ali
day regarding the winner for the place OF
county surveyor. Henry Klausmann and
De Witt V Moore were in the same relative
I .
first one and then the other running ahead
as the returns slowly came in. II was be-
Iieved last night that Moore might pull
through. but yesterday Klausmann took
decided spurt and his managers. keeping
/ close tab on the figures estimated that with
only two precincts 10 hear from Klaus
mann's vote was S.S26 and Moore's 1874. Civ
/ ing Klausmann a plurality of 352 The off,
