Special 10 The Washington Herald.
Richmond. Va, April 15.-Fourteen pre-
eincts out of tweuty-foT heard from at
midnight give Richardson, for mayor OF
Richmond, LBS to i.021 for Mccarthy. the
incumbent. This gives Richardson lead
of 294.
Mccarthy is gradually losing ground.
Richardson's election is practically con-
ceded by men in close touch with the situ-
alton. The voters turned out in fuller
force than had been anticipated with the
national election pledge extension on the
primary ticket. The precincts already
heard from are scattered all over the city,
in varying sections.
The complexion OF these returns is be-
lieyed TO give a good indication Of the
final result. The very latest returns
show Richardson gaining ground slowly
and surely. with Mccarthy losing in the
same ratio. II is a pretty safe guess that
the coming Of morning Will disclose that
Richardson is TO be the next mayor of
Richmond.
Neither Richardson nor Mccarthy
