Jacksonville, May 29.-Returns of
Tuesdays primary are coming in very
slowly, many counties sending only
partial returns, while one or two have
not been reported at all. From the
returns at hand from the Second con-
gressional district indications are that
Clark has defeated Hilburn for con-
gress by a small majority, possibly five
hundred. Hilburn did not receive the
vote expected in his home county.
John 7. G. Crawford has such a
lead over Eugene Matthews that the
formers election as national commit
teeman has been practically conceded,
especially as the counties TO be heard
from are known mostly to be favorable
to him.
The nomination ef Claude L'Engle
for congressman at large over w. M.
Toomer has been conceded, as well as
that Of w. n. Sheats for superintend-
ent of education.
For delegates at large to the ma
tional convention the Reactionaries
and Progressives are running a close
race, with the possibility that they
may divide the delegation.
