General Wright Wins;
Results in Other Races

With forty-five counties to hear from
General William A. Wright has carried
eighty-five out of 107 with 210 conven-
tion votes, in his race to succeed him
self for comptroller general over his
opponent, z. p. Dobbs. of Marietta, with
twenty-five counties and fifty-four votes
in the convention.
AS but 191 convention votes are neces-
sary to nominate it will be seen that
General Wright already has more than
enough to declare him the nominee
On the ratio of the returns already
received il is only natural to assume
that 1t will continue, so that when COM
plete returns are in General Wright's
majority and convention vote will be
even larger than at the present time.
The results of other state contest
from the returns available are as fol-
lows.

.OUEBEC BRIDGE COLLAPSE
NOW UNDER INVESTIGATION
Survivors and Spectators AC-
counts Are HopeleSSIy
at Variance
(Ry Associated Press

QUEBEC, Sept. 12.-The st. Lawrence
Bridge company and the Quebec Bridge
commission are conducting a joint in
vestigation today into the collapse OF
the central span Of the Quebec canti-
lever bridge over the st. Lawrence river
while it was being hoisted into posi-
ton. The death list remains at eleven
Accounts of survivors and spectators
are at hopeless variance, some holding
that the span itself buckled first and
others that the hoisting supports die
not work uniformly, thereby throwing
too much strain on the supports.
Engineers said today that as soon as
the cause of the accident is ascertained
the work of either reconstructing 9
new. span or raising the collapsed one
will be undertaken. 1t was estimated
the work will cost $1,ooO,00o.
The opening of the bridge, scheduled
for next spring. has been indefinitely
postponed.
