VOTE STILL IN DOUBT.
New Jersey Senatorial Nominee Not
Yet Known.

Trenton. n. J.. Sept. 16-The results
OF the primary election on Tuesday as
regards the preference between United
States Senatorial candidates are as much
in doubt to-day as ever. Complete re-
turns have been received from only a
few counties, and those in most instances
are unofficial From the rest Of the
counties only partial returns have been
received. and many districts are missing
entirely
One thing is certain: With more than
10000 votes polled. upward Of 20 per
cent OF the vote cast for President Taft
in 1908, the three candidates, ex-Goy.
Stokes, ex-Gov. Murphy. and Representa-
tive Fowler, are so close that friends OF
each one are claiming a victory for their
candidate. Figures compiled by ex-Gov.
Stokes. based upon the best estimates he
has been able to obtain from the various
counties, indicate that he has plurality
Of 5.72S over ex-Gov. Murphy
IN Newark. however, it is figured that
Murphy has a plurality Of between 1900
and 1900 over Stokes. IN the compilation
OF the earlier returns the vote of Repre-
sentative Fowler was largely ignored. the
collectors Of returns in most Of the coun-
ties apparently thinking that he was not
cutting much Of a figure in the race.
Later returns. however. put Fowler well
Up In the running with both Stokes and
Murphy. and there is a possibility that
complete returns might show him to be
the high man. The vote cast in the
State seems to have been much larger
than was at first anticipated.

WOMAN FLIES PLANE.
Nine. Francois Raiche Becomes First
Female Aviator.

New York. Sept 16 - Nine. Francois
Raiche, the wife Of e flying machine
builder, won the distinction of being the
first American woman TO attempt TO
drive an aeroplane to-day.
She cut the grass on the Hampstead
Plains aviation field about I o'clock in
the morning, and after three short runs
on the ground ended with an accident.
The propeller was put m motion by her
husband. who followed the machine on
its runs across the field. Nine. Raiche
said her first feeling when the propeller
began to revolve was that Of suppressed
emotion. but the minute she put her
hands on the levers and started over the
ground She had no sense OF fear. and
felt as safe as II she had been in her
automobile.
She made two runs over the course
and was just completing a third one
when the front wheel support few out
OF place and the front OF the machine
collapsed. She had realized that some
thing was wrong and had throttled the
engine. She slipped from the seat IN
hurt. The accident did not dIsconcert
the plucky little woman. She will try
again.
