RICHMOND Va, August GA small
vote, with very meager actual returns
| from any considerable part of the state,
| with more or less doubt as to what will
| be the result when all the returns are re-
ceived, faces the party management and
| the candidates today. The returns are
| more incomplete than at any election for
years. There was little interest. and I'M
less there is a very large increase in the
totals yet to come the indications are
| that the primary vote will not exceed
60, 900, if it reaches that figure.
Col. James Mann said today at noon
| that he was confident that the complete
returns will show a majority for Judge
Mann of not less than six thousand. His
estimate in many of the cities was off.
| but in the counties he picked up a good
deal. The estimate of the majorities was
all right in a number Of cases, but the
slump in the vote cut him down con-
siderably. He is positive that Judge
Mann has won the nomination, and the
Tucker organ here has practically
abandoned the struggle and comedies
Mann's nomination, but by smaller
majority than is claimed by the Mann
followers
At this time he ticket looks like Mann,
Ellyson Williams. Koiner.
All the candidates received larger ma
jorities than did Judge Mann. Capt.
ker, Mr.. fuckers manager, had no
statement to give out up to noon today,
but he has practically conceded the nomi-
nation of Mann.
Col. w. c. Waite of Culpeper and Col:
Eugene c. Massie of Richmond, both Of
the governors staff. the latter the chief
of staff, member Of the house, were de-
feated.
