(By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
Portland, Maine, Sept. 12-Little
change in the apparent result was
shown today by revision of the re-
turns of the vote cast at yesterdays
special election on the question of
taking prohibition out of the state
constitution. Fourteen towns had not
been heard and without these towns,
the vote stood:

This gave majority of 763 for the
repeal of the prohibitory amendment
to the state constitution.
Drys win Ask Recount.
Former Mayor Adam P. Lighton of
Portland, president of the No-License
League, announced today that steps
would be taken for recount of the
vote unless the official returns should
materially increase the majority for
the repeal of the amendment. Official
! returns had been received this morn
| ing from fifty-six cities and towns.
OiFSCt FTttVdTy WIFE,
! Next in interest to the prohibition
question, was that of the adoption or
rejection of statewide primary act.

adoption by good margin. The off.
cial vote from 70 cities and towns
at hand this morning shows 23,780
favorable and 1852 opposing votes, a
majority in favor of 17,41S.
