Z4Y-4S PARTY BE4TEN.
Conservatives and Miguelistas Uin
Cuban Elections.

Havana, Aug. s.-Although a week has passed
since the provincial and municipal elections
took place. complete returns have not yet been
received. there still being lacking reports from
four OF the eighty-two municipalities The
slowness in getting the count is attributable to
the unfamiIiarity with their duties of the local
electoral boards and their disposition not to ac-
eept responsibility and TO sticke over the in
depreciation of the letter OF the law
Throughout the island no evidence of fraud
has been found, except in town. where
thirty ballots were cast in excess Of the regis
tration
It is evident now that the Conservatives have
elected governors of Santa Clara, Matanzas and
Pinar Gel Rio provinces The Miguelistas won
in Oriente and Camaguey provinces and the
Zayistas in Havana province
With the vote for mayor in four municipali-
ties lacking the results received show that the
Miguelistas elected thirty-three mayors the
Conservatives twenty-eight and the Zayistas
seventeen The weakness shown by the latter
party in the elections is believed to Indicate
the elimination of Alfredo Zayas from the Pres
idential contest and to narrow the race to Jose
Miguel Gomez, Afiguelista, and the person to
be nominated by the Conservatives, among
whom General Mario Menocal, president of the
Veterans Association, is the favorite, with
Domingo Leouona, who apparently has been re-
elected Governor of Matanzas province, a
strong competitor.
The installation of the newly elected of
fciaIs will be subject TO the decree of Governor
Magoon, which is expected to be issued soon.
The Presidential election probably will be held
early in December, six weeks being allowed for
registration.
Robert Bacon. Assistant Secretary of State
arrived here early this morning. and after a
11-i+h
cial train for Santiago. whence he will go TO
Porto Rico on a government vessel.

that Hopkins leads slightly in the Republican
contest for United States Senator, with Foss a
close second Stringer is reported in the lead

are made by the managers of both candidates.
Stevenson, Pattison. McGoorty and Lewis said
to have received the greater part Of the Democrats
vote for Governor.
Estimated returns for Cook County based upon
the vote in 1000 of 1892 precincts. show that
Deneen leads Yates by about 1000. This does not
include any precincts outside of Chicago and Cook
County. Fcss Republican candidate for Senator

Hopkins. James Hamilton Lewis. Democratic can
