BOSTON, May although
unofficial early returns today in
dicated that President Taft would
have a plurality of 5000 votes
over Colonel Roosevelt in yester-
days primary election, the Roose-
welt people would not concede de-
feat, maintaining that official fig
ures would show that the former
president had carried the state.
At 10 O'Clock this morning un-
official returns from 1,040 out of
1880 election districts in the
state, gave President Taft S4,94S;
Roosevelt, 1854; LaFollette,
1860. Clark, 32,972; Wilson,
1850.
The same precincts gave the
Roosevelt delegates at large,
headed by Baxter, 82,687, and the
Taft delegates at large, headed by
Senator Crane, 74,835.
Present indications are that
Colonel Roosevelt has carried
five state districts, which with the
delegates at large give him Is
delegates in the national conven-
tion. President Taft probably has
carried the remaining nine dis
tricts, which will give him 18
delegates.
Crane to Withdraw.
1t is believed that Senator MUIR
ray Cranes defeat as delegate at
large means his retirement from
political life. 1t is not thought
probable that he will seek the
senatorship again next year.
Roosevelt supporters now claim
one delegate in the eighth district.
IL this is true, the colonel will
have 10 delegates and President
Taft II. The official count in
the Eighth district gives the sec
ond Taft delegate in that district
lurality of only three votes over
the Roosevelt delegate. The
Roosevelt supporters are circulat-
ing petitions demanding recount
of votes.
