 Others Close. ~e omcaal Count of Votes win Be Neces- sary to Give Accurate Account of the winners in the Demo-
 cratic Primary.

Unoficia1 returns were received yes- terday from a few counties of Ala bama. but the situation Is still chaotic. due to the lengthy ballots and no ac- curate results of Mondays primary election may be expected until the re- turns are canvassed Saturday by the County Committees.
 Governor Johnson carried at least i've counties of the State and in Mobile his majority over Bryan was approxi- mately HOO. It is certain he carried Montgomery, Mobile. Macon. Coffee and Washington. He probably carried Con- ecuh and Monroe.
 One of the surprises shown by the meagre returns Is the heavy vote boiled by pr. R. M. Cunningham for dele- gate at large. The indications are he has defeated Captain E.. ". Booker for fourth place. The three successful can- didates are Congressmen Hefiin and Clayton and John W. Tomlinson, whose vote was An the order named

 Eiba, May ao.--(s (special.) When there is great interest in local politics it is q matter of impossibiiity to get the returns in Coffee county for state and district offices t-&
 With the exception of three or four boxes no returns have been returned. A total of those boxes gives Alston an immense lead for Supreme Court judge. with Simpson and Lusk cIose behind. Aston has received 6 very heavy vote for Supreme Court judge possibly five hundred more than any other candidate while Lusk and sipip- son have also had good votes.
 The same sort of indefinite infor-. nation, coupled with what exact -in- formation has been obtained, indicates that Johnson has carried the county by from two hundred to three hundred majority. All boxes reported at all show that Bryan carried only two of the twenty-one beats in the county. These beats were large one. however, and Bryan had good majorities. so 1t is possible that Johnson's majority will be small.
 Clayton has led the ticket for dele gates, with Cunningham next and Heflin next. It is impossible to make a surrnise further.
 Pugh and O'NeaI have large majori- ties for electors, as has Wallace for game warden.
 The county committee will cahvass the returns at Eiba next Saturday.
