at Large.-WiIson 10.

Columbus, Ohio, May 22.-Special:
With Colonel Roosevelt and Govern
or Harmon the winners in yesterdays
Ohio primaries interest to-day centers
in the final returns which will show
the exact extent of their victories.
Roosevelt managers to-day conceded
that Taft had carried not more than
three districts the first, second and
third but the chances are the presi-
dent will get one or probably two
more. This will give Roosevelt a
minimum of 30 and Taft a maximum
of 10 district delegates.
Harmon carried the state in the
presidential preferential vote by a
| plurality estimated at $1,000 over
Governor Wilson of New Jersey but
the latter appears to have captured
number of district delegates. Har-
mons preferential vote gives him the
six delegates at large from Ohio who
will be named at the state convention
June 4 and 5.
The republican state convention in
Columbus, June and 4, will select
the republican big six.
Walter Brown the victorious
Roosevelt manager said while the
Roosevelt men had made no fight for
delegates to the state convention they

serve the instructions in the district
primaries. This means six delegates
at large instructed for Roosevelt will
be elected
Chairman Laylin Taft's manager
said the Taft forces would control the
state convention and send six Taft
men as delegates at large. This
probably will open another fight be-
tween Roosevelt and Taft.
Latest returns indicate that Har-
first, second, fifth, eleventh. twelfth,
thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, six
teenth and eighteenth districts giving
him 20 delegates exclusive of the six
at large.
Wilson appears to have been the
winner in the third fourth, eighth;
ninth, tenth, seventeenth, nineteenth,
twentieth and twenty-frst, giving his
total of IS delegates.
Both sides are claiming the sixth
and seventh districts, but returns ia
! for the Harmon candidacy. All sides
agree that final figures may upset the
ralondar Of hpth Sides
The returns are very slow in com
ing in, owing to a large number of
candidates for local Offices in the
counties.
Wilson and Harmon managers are
claiming returns from few counties
in every district not yet in.
The Wilson men claim the two dele
gates in the third, f. w. Ilanley of
Dayton and Edwin Schnegen of Ham
ilton. These men had no opposition
! and were not pledged to either Har-
mon or Wilson. Their sympathy is
with Wilson it is said.
Senator LaFOIlette failed to cap
ture a delegate in Ohio. He entered
| the contest only in the ninth, twelfth,
twentieth and twenty-frst districts,
containing Columbus, Toledo and
Cleveland. An interesting feature of
the report is LaFollettes strong hold
| in the twentieth, comprising one-halt
of Cleveland, where he ran ahead OF
Taft.
At noon Roosevelt men claimed all
the districts but the First, Second
and Third, but there is a. chance that
the Taft men will get one and per-
Ibaps two more districts. The latest
returns intimate that Harmon got the
First, Second, Fifth, Eleventh,
Twelfth, thirteenth, Fourteenth, FIJI
teenth, Sixteenth and Eighteenth dis
Itricts, giving him twenty delegates
and six delegates at large. Wilson
probably has the Third, Fourth, Eighth
Ninth, Tenth, Seventeenth, Nineteenth
Twentieth and Twenty-first districts,
giving him eighteen delegates. Both
sides admit that the contest is close
in some places.
Teddy is Well Pleased.
Oyster Bay, May 22.-Special: Col
onel Roosevelt was pleased today
with the 'impulsive Judgment" of the
people of Ohio, and says the contest
is now over and that he will be NOM
mated at Chicago. He says that Taft
cannot unseat the Roosevelt dele
gates from contesting states. Roose'
welt received congratulatory tele'
grams from all over the country.
