ERNAToRIAL NOMINATION.
kAREL AND AWKWARD CLOSE;
M'G0vERN CLAIMS VICTORY
Indications That Official Count May
Be Necessary to Decide Several
Contests - Philip, kareI and
McGovern Carry Milwaukee
County.

Milwaukee, Sept. Emmanuel l..
Philip has been nominated for COVER
nor by the republicans of Wisconsin,
according to early returns of yester-
days primary election. The results
OF all contests are in doubt ard may
not be determined until official returns
are announced.
Gov. Francis E. McGovern and
Judge Levi H. Bancroft are running a
neck and neck race for the republican
nomination for United States senator.
McGovern has carried Milwaukee
county and city over Bancroft by a
small plurality, which may be cut
down when the official total is made.
McGoVern Nomination Claimed.
Gov. McGoyern's friends are insist
ent in their claims for his nomination.
Lieut.. Gov. Thomas Morris was run
ming third according to the latest re-
turns, and 1t is probable that he can
not hope 10 finish in better position.
For the democratic nomination for
governor no choice could be made be-
tween John C. Karel of Milwaukee and
John A. Awkward of Madison at an
early hour Wednesday morning. The
friends of both of these candidates
were claiming the nomination after
returns had been received from many
widely separated cities and towns, and
after the result in Milwaukee county
had practically been decided.
Democratic Contest Close.
In Milwaukee county Judge Karel
had a majority over Awkward of 1921,
with 1876 out of $50 precincts report
ed, unofficially. In the state, however,
Aylward was leading Karel by a good
margin in many counties, and his sup
porters declared this would Offset Ka-
rePs lead iii the lake shore counties
The contest between Awkward and
Karel for the democratic nomination
for governor appears to be close-too
close to make the result at all GER
tain-on the returns at hand, and so,
too, the race between Kearney and
Husting for United States senator,
with the probability that Husting, who
has a slight lead in the returns re-
ceived, has won.
Republican State Ticket.
1t seemed to be a fair guess on the
face of returns that the present re-
publican state officers, who were can
didates for a second term, were re-
nominated as follows:
Secretary of State-John S. Donald,
Mt. Horeb.
State Treasurer-Henry Johnson,
South Madison.
Attorney General-Walter G. Owen.
Few Contests for Congress.
All the present members of the Wis
consin delegation in congress were re-
nominated at Tuesdays primary.
There were few contests, but three in
the republican ranks, and two in the
democratic party.
The probable nominees of the two
leading parties in the eleven districts
are:
First-H. A. Cooper, rep; Calvin
Stewart, dem.
Second-Michael Burke, DEM; c.
w. Starrett, rep.
