Hottest Fight Ever Known by
New Hampshire Republicans
THREE ILLEGAL BALLOTS
Candidates Found II Necessary to Com
bine to Prevent Nomination of
Winston Churchill--Against
Railroad Passes.

Concord, n FL, Sept. 10.The Hon.

the Republican gubernatorial nomina-
tion last night, after session Of the

intermission from i o'clock in the fore
noon to almost 10 O'Clock in the even
ing
The result was reached on the sixth
legitimate ballot, but the ninth real
ballot, three ballots being declared void
owing to too many votes being cnst,
which stood as follows:
Whole number of votes cast, 799; nee
essary for election, 400; Floyd, 40S;
Churchill, 1886; Greenleaf, SIS; Gale |.
The result was foreshadowed early in

strength began to develop, and it was
made a surety in the evening when Pills
bury withdrew after the seventh ballot
and asked his supporters to vote for
Mr.. Floyd.
Then it was discovered that Mr.. Pills
bury was unable to deliver the goods,
for not enough went to Floyd to secure

sity with the Greenleaf forces, naturally
opposed to Col Churchill, to act without
delay.
