With the probability that there may
be an increase as later returns come
in, it is estimated that Colonel Roose-

al convention selected in 21 congress
sional districts and that the presi-
dent was given ten district delegates
or slightly less than fourth Of the
total number named.
On the democratic ticket Governor
Harmon is believed to have won by
a larger percentage than did Colonel
Roosevelt, being credited with S5 dis
trict delegates as against seven for
Governor Woodrow Wilson Of New
Jersey.
Although President Taft secured
but ten out Of the AZ delegates, the
Taft-Roosevelt fight in Ohio Is not fin
ished, but will be carried into the
state republican convention which
on June 8 will select six delegates-at-
large to the national convention. OF
total Of less than one thousand dele
gates to the state convention, a large
portion of whom also were named yes
terday to sit in the state convention,
nearly complete returns indicate that
President Taft has nearly a sufficient
number to control This may give
President Taft's managers the six
delegates-at-large to be named by the
state convention and probably will
make the presidents total 16, just an
even third Of the Ohio delegation of
4S delegates which will attend the
Chicago convention.
Governor Harmon on the democrtic
ticket, unlike Colonel Roosevelt, will
not be forced to make a further fight
for delegates-at-large as the democra-
tic call specifies that the winner Of
the presidential preference primary
shall name his own delegates-atlarge.
It win be impossible before night to
get an accurate list of totals in the
various districts on the democratic
presidential preference, but It is
clear that Governor Harmon has won
over Wilson by large plurality.
Amplified returns in the republi-
can contest show that Senator Ia Fol

Plot to Trap Insurrectos.


Fabens, Texas. May 22.-The inter
national border line, during the pros.
pective battle of Guadalupe will be
plainly marked by Gordon of olive
drab troopers. each carrying a rifle.
The confusion over the position of
the imaginary line nearly caused an
international episode yesterday.
To prevent contending Mexican
troops from using American territory
in the battle, Colonel e. z. Steeyer
of the Fourth United States cavalry
today ordered two troops of cavalry
to follow along the boundary line sew
eral miles to the east parallel to
any fighting that may occur.
The evacuation of Guadalupe by
the federals is ruse that was expect
ed to culminate in a fight during the
day The Withdrawal Of the federals
under Major Sanchez southwark to-
ward the hills allowed the rebels to
enter the town, and the insurrectos
will find themselves hemmed in on
the east by 200 men under Colonel
Jose de La Cruz Sanchez, who came
up early today from Oiinaga and is
expected to attack first The plan
has been to have the federals, who
went few miles south, move in
between Guadalupe and Juarez, cut
ting off retreat to the west or south
while the American boundary line
cuts off any northward march.
