Emory was a candidate for the Democratic nomination, but was barred from the ticket by the county and state committees. An an inde- pendent he opposed o. H. Sumpter. The election of Jacobs, Republican, for sheriff of Johnson county. was claimed
 Incomplete returns indicated the election of Johnson, Republican, for sheriff of Carroll county over Coffey, Democrat. Mack Curley, Republican, was apparently reelected sheriff of Madison county, but the Democrats made gains in the other county races. Two years ago all Republican candi- dates except collector were elected. In Washington county Morton, Dem- ocrat, was running very close with Rice, Republican, for sheriff. Sheriff Ruddell of Randolph county was ap- parently reelected by a small major ity.
 A feature of the election was the unusually heavy Republican vote poll ed in Democratic strongholds. This was true in Pulaski county, where the Republican vote was more than half that boiled by the Democrats. It is said this was due to the consolidation of elections, permitting many negroes to vote who formerly did not hereto fore in state and county general elections.

 Hampshire, North Dakota and New Mexico, the pivotal states whose votes will decide the race. There is still possibility that West l Virginia, which is not included in the doubtful column, may switch from Hughes to Wilson, and add eight cleo toral votes to the presidents total Unless this happens, however, it will be necessary for Wilson to carry Cali fornia and either North Dakota or New Hampshire, in all three of which he was leading this afternoon.
 Hughes in order to win will have to carry both Minnesota and New Mexi- co, in which he is leading and either California alone or New Hampshire and North Dakota combined.
 An Associated Press bulletin dated at New York at 12:3O this afternoon states that of the apparently sure electoral votes Wilson had 251 and Hughes 243.
 In the doubtful states, California. with 553 precincts missing, Wilson was leading by a plurality of 4,523 In New Hampshire Wilson's lead was 109. In North Dakota, with 179 pre- cincts missing, Wilson was leading by 1,347.
 In Minnesota, with 488 precincts missing, Hughes was leading by 51O, his lead having decreased several hundred from last night. Hughes lead in New Mexico, however, showed decided increase, climbing to l,257, with 402 precincts missing.
