Philadelphia, May 21.-Returns
more or less complete of the vote for
Supreme Court judge from 81 out of
67 counties put Judge Kunkel slightly
ahead of Judge Endlich. The vote is:
Kunkel 56.231; Endlich 55.SO1.
In some counties the returns were
sealed without being computed and 1t
will be necessary to wait until the Of
fetal count is completed before the
vote for some of the candidates will
be known.
The returns received include Phila-
delphia, Allegheny and the home coun-
ties of Kunkel and Endlich.
Much difficulty is being experienced
in obtaining returns in advance of the
official county, the figures secured be-
ing incomplete in many instances.
Official counts start tomorrow in
the counties of the State and the otti-
cial returns will then be filed at the
Capitol where the results will be COM
puted.
The results of the Statewide pri-
maries on Tuesday stand practically as
given yesterday Boies Penrose's plu-
rality over j. Benjamin Dimnick, of
Scranton, for the Republican nomina-
ton for United States Senator VIII
probably exceed 125,000. Dimmick
carried Lackawanna, Union, Wyoming,
Luzerne, Mifflin and Westmoreland
counties.
A. Mitchell Palmers victory over
Henry. Budd for the Democratic nomi-
nation for United States Senator was
quite as overwhelming. Budd car
ried but two counties, Philadelphia and
Carbon.
DR.. Martin G. Brumbaugh's lead
hi ., fnr ha
publican nomination for governor is
tremendous. Their combined vote is
less than half the total cast for the
popular school official.
Vance c. McCormick's plurality over
City Solicitor Michael j. Ryan, of Phil
adelphia, for the Democratic nomina-
ton is roughly estimated at 25,000.
The Harrisburg ex-Inayor's friends
claim fifty-two counties for him with
out doubt. Some of the counties which
it appears Ryan probably carried, be-
s'des Philadelphia, are Luzerne, Allie
pheny, Northampton, Lackawanna,
Bucks, Clinton, Erie and Carbon.
Up to midnight last night only forty
two counties had reported returns on
the Mccormick Ryan fight These
showed a total for Mccormick of 49,
$50 and for Ryan of 1853, a major
ity of more than $4,000 for the win
ming candidate. The returns from
Lackawanna, Luzerne and Schuylkill
counties will reduce this, but it is ex-
pected that other missing counties will
more than make up the loss
A dispatch from Pittsburgh says:
Congressman Nj. Clyde Kelly, of the
Thirtieth Pennsylvania Congressional
District was refused the nomination
by the Republicans of his district in
the primaries of Tuesday, according
to the complete returns. William H.
Coleman won the nomination by a
majority of about 1900. The district
was formerly represented by John Dali
zell, who was defeated by Kelly two
years ago.
The big steel mills are located in
the district and fight was made
against Kelly because he voted for the
tariff bill. Kelly also lost
the Democratic nomination, but his
name will be on the Progressive
ticket"
