Lats Ohio Returns.

Columbus, May zs.--scattering rec
turns from the most distant districts
which have been received in the last
few hours indicate that Roosevelt's
delegates, acquired at the Tuesday
primaries will not drop below the
thirty-two hitherto accorded him.
Wilson has made slight gains and
there is a possibility that Harmon's
delegates will not total more than
twenty -seven.
The respective pluralities Of the cam
didates in the democratic preferential
primary, with practically complete re-
turns from all but seven counties, are
10,137 for Wilson and 23,22s for Har-
mon, giving the governor majority
OF 1904.
The governor lost his home county,
Hamilton, in the First district, by q
close vote but suffered no loss of dele-
gates there inasmuch as his opponent
has no candidates for delegates.
Clemont county, home Of Lieut.. Gov.
Hugh Nicholas. Harmon's campaign
manager, gave Wilson a plurality OF
seventy five. Supporters OF the Ohioan
are said to be in control OF the county
convention, however.
On the basis of tabulations OF dele
gates to the republican state conven-
tion Roosevelt apparently has Ss7 out
OF 754, with ais necessary 60 control.
The county conventions to which the
delegates were elected Tuesday and at
which all but twenty-three counties
win name state delegates have not met,
but estimates in each county accord
RanuavaIf fha advantages.
Taft supporters do not admit this.
however, and intimate the president
will have enough strength in the state
convention in June to give him the six
delegates at large.
The total LaFoIlette vote in the
primaries is little less than $4,000.
Although in one or two instances he
outran Taft, his candidates for dele-
gates did not gain enough votes to
seriously menace any Of Roosevelta
delegation.
