of the eleven county Republican con-
ventions 90 delegates were instructed
for McGraW as against 81 for jim
Harris. Throe counties had not been
heard from tonight. 1t is probable
that they were all for Harris. but this
will not affect McGraw's lead.
The county conventions all selected
delegates to the congressional district
convention which will he held in IIo-
bart next Saturday. That convention
will select two delegates to the ma
tional convention, but will have no
bearing on the state convention. To-
days action, therefore, has no par
ticular bearing on the state conven-
ton except rs an expression of senti-
ment.
In the western part of the state
Harris was supposed to have big
following but the action of todays
