LOBE AND LUDWIG WINNERS Attorney Generals Contest, However, Is Still Open and Probably Will Not Be Settled Except by Off
 cal Count.

Interest in the results of last Wed nesday's primary is now ecntered al most entirely in the race of Hal l.. Norwood and P R. Andrews, for at torney general.
 Until Sunday morning there was a great deal of interest in the races be- tween o. c. Ludwig and J. C. Clary, for secretary of state, and John R. lobe and John M Oathout. for audi tor. Returns received Sunday and Sunday night, however, leave practi cally no doubt that Ludwig and lobe are victorious candidates in the two races. According 10 the returns re- ceived, Ludwig has a majority of 4,272 votes. and lobe a majority of 10.426 votes.
 From all indications the Norwood- Andrews race will not be definitely settled for several days, as the official returns from scattering counties are very slow in coming in. In several counties the County Central Democrat ic Committees will not meet until the latter part of this week, and it will be impossible to obtain official returns from those counties until then.
 According 10 the returns received, Norwcod has a total of 33,369 votes, and Andrews total of 30,212 votes. in the counties reported thus far. The counties still to be heard from are: Benton, Carroll, Clay, Independence, Johnson, Logan, Lonoke. Madison, Montgomery. Newton. Phillips, Scott, Stone, Van Buren and Woodruff.
 In the contest for secretary of state the returns from 59 counties show that o. c. Ludwig has a majority of 4,272 the vote being: Ludwig 33.5S3, J. c. Clary 2s.311.
 From the same number of counties the returns give J. R. lobe. for audi tor, a majority of 10,426, the vote be- ing lobe 32,384, Oathout 21,955
 In the gubernatorial contest 70 coun. ties, the returns from nearly all of which are official. show that George w Donaghey has received 52,512 votes. W. F. Kirby 35,S16, John H. Hinemon 31,601. the plurality for Donaghey be- ing 16.696.
