FIGURES WANTING
 FROM TERRITORY
On Incomplete Returns EIeC.
 tiOn of Wilson Claimed
Democrats Place His Majority as High as 500-No Concessoon Made Yet by Republican Territorial Con- mittee.

Figures received yesterday and last night from various towns and pre- cincts in the territory indicate the cleo tion of J. F. Wilson for delegate to con gress by a majority ranging from 200 to 400. The democratic territorial com mittee is claiming his election by 500, the claim being based largely on in complete returns from the democratic stronghold of Graham county, and ru- mors of a heavy democratic vote in Cochise.
 Chairman Nichols of the republican committee last night would not con- cede the defeat oi MT Morrison. He admitted that the figures so far at hand were unfavorable, but until more definite returns are received he said that the republicans could reasonably entertain hope of the election of MT. Morrison. Late last night good news was received at republican headquar- ters in a dispatch from Tucson, where Q telephone ge had been received from w. F. Cooper at Florence saying that Morrison had a ma jority of 15 in Pinal county, with two precincts to be heard from. The republicans the night before had conceded that county to Wilson by 75: There Is some hope that complete returns from Cochise county will put a more favorable light on re- publican affairs.
 As a matter Of fact nothing has been received at the republican headquarters Warranting the eXtravagant claims which have been made by the demo- cratic committee. It is Cnly known that a heavy vote for the democratic ticket was cast at the border towns of Douglas and Naco, and that the voters were mostly persons who had been brought in from Cananea. No charge has been made that the persons voting were not entitled to vote, but a dis patch sent to Mir. Morrison last night, conveying to him all the information in the possession of the committee, stated that little had been heard from COohise, nothing from Sonora, but the committee was trying to get il cor munication with Cananea.
 The situation in respect to the next legislature is almost as clouded. The democrats early yesterday were claim ing eight of the twelve members of the council, and seventeen Of the twenty four members of the council. The claim as to the council was later re- duced to seven, and 1t appeared last night that the republicans had elected six members from the following Coun- ties. Apache, Navajo, CCconino, Mar icopa Pinal and Pima and Santa Cruz. There are no reliable figures at hand concerning the results of the various assembly contests.
 Mir. Morrison, however the election my be found to. have turned out. has made a magnificent campaign, and the work of Chairman Nichols and Secre- tary Young of the republican territorial committee has been skillful. They omitted nothing that ought to have been done, neither did they at any time commit the more common po- litical fault of doing things that ought not to have been dore. If MT. Morrison has been defeated it is because the great democratic stronghOlds of the south have bean impregnable.
 The following dispatch was received at this office last night:
 Prescott, November 5.-FOrty- seven precincts out Of sixty-four give Morri- son a majority Of 29S; Roberts, repub- lican for sheriff. Gil; Clark, republican fer district attorney, 262. The rest oi the county ticket is democratic. Tritle for the legislature has a fighting chance.
 A dispat tch from Clifton stated that of the returns received there from the surrounding precincts, Morrison was given no votes and Wilson 354. The same ratio was in favor of the Graham county legislative ticket
 Word from Yuma gives Wilson ma jority of eighty in that county.
