Philadelphia, May l7.-Late returns
today from the presidential preference
primary formed the basis foE claim
Of partial victory at the headquarters
Of Governor Martin g. Brumbaugb,
head of the movement to snatch repub-
lican state leadership from Boise Pen
rose.
Brumbaugh's headquarters declared
that the governor $ candidates in many
districts had defeated Penrose eandI-
dates for the position Of delegate to the
national republican convention.
The BrumbaughVare faction may
also have several delegates at large. The
returns are coming in very slowly.
Colonel Roosevelt's vote was small
compared to that of Brumbaugh, and
Henry Ford 's showing was the surprise
OF the primary. Roosevelt polled only
huBdreds where his supporters had ex-
pected him to draw thousands.
Penrose estirated the Ford vote at
10000. Knox and Hughes figured but
slightly in the primary.

said:
There was nothing in overnight news
nor the early developments today to
supply the market with new speeula-

duh and professional. The effects Of
the recent heavy profit taking and dis.
tributiye selling were more apparent
than yesterday. Traders took advan.
tage Of the meager public participation
TO work for a reaction. The opening
was irregular and narrow. Many is.

Baldwin Locomotive and Anaconda Cop

Mexican Petroleum advanced point
az the outset on the better aspect Of
Mexican affairs. Leading railroads and
standard industrials were quiet in the
absence Of outside buying, and were
also affected to some extent by per
sistent rumors Of an extensive liquida-
tion following upon the recent upward
turn.-s
