FOSS TO CARRY THE

SUIT OF voTE-YATEs ADMITS
DEFEAT.

as are available early today con-
f1rmed the Republican nomination
of Deneen for governor and give
the Republican endorsement for
United States senator to Hopkins.
From the figures at hand, which
are, however, incomplete, the ma
jority vote of Deneen over Yates
is probably from 10000 to $4,000.
Hopkins has about $4,000 plurality
over Foss, but it is not certain
this estimate will hold Returns
from some of the counties may re-
duce Hopkins In the lead mater
tally.
1t is certain Foss will carry
the fight into the state legislature
and warm contest will ensue
when that body meets next win
ter.
Returns today seem to indicate
that Oglesby has been nominated
for lieutenant governor on the Re-
publican ticket and that Pickering
has been chosen by the Democrats
as the candidate for clerk of the
supreme court. These were the
only offices on which the result
last night was in doubt. Retu. ns
from the country precincts contin-
ue to come In slowly.
Chicago. Aug. 10.-Senator Albert j.
Hopkins gained approximately 1000
votes in yesterdays more complete
count of the ballot cast in the Repub-
lican primary election on Saturday.
His plurality over George Edmund
Fose now appears to be about 18,100
In ninety.one of the 102 counties In
the state.
At the same time Lawrence B.
Stringer kept up his gains for the
Democratic nomination, incomplete re-
turns from fifty-two counties giving
him an estimated plurality over Ad-
Olson Blakeley Of 60,537. As far as
reported, Mr.. Blakeley has failed to
win a single county.
Cook county's plurality for Foss
continued to mount higher during the
fuller count and at latest reports he
had 50,282 votes to his credit as
against 41,358 for Hopkins, 3s,917 for
Mason, and 5000 for Webster.
This gives him clear plurality of
1924 in the county as against the es-
innate of 5000 made on Saturday
night.
