An Earlier Report.
Baltimore, Md.-Maryland's sin
teen votes in the national convention
will be cast for Theodore Roosevelt
and Speaker Champ Clark unless the
few election districts still to be heard
from change the result registered to-
day by the states first presidential
primary.
Although the result was close, and
Col. Roosevelt on the face of the re-
turns had but one more than the
number of votes required to control
the state convention, the latest count
last night did not materially change
the result indicated before midnight.

The primaries divided the dele
gates to the state convention, as
follows:
Republioans'-Rooscvlt, &c; Taft

State delegates elected arc bound
to vote for delegates to the national
convention favorable to the presiden-
tial candidate for whom the people
today expressed their preference.
Although the popular preference
vote of tlie state as Il whole did not
determine the result, it favored
Roosevelt and Clark by p%luralities
more conclusive than the lewiston OF
state delegates based OH the county
preferential vote did. This was due
largely to the sweep which both sue
cessful candidates made in the city
of Baltimore.
