Brumbaugh Chiefs Claim
Majority of Delegates

The Brumbaugh headquarters is
sued the following statement about
noon:
Incomplete returns from twenty
one counties this morning. indicate the
election of the Brumbaugh delegates
at-large and a clear majority of the
district delegates, pledged to Cover
nor Brumbaugh.
There was terrific storm in the
southern, western and northern sec
tions of the State and the vote in
those counties was very light. The
counties heard from, however. indi-
cate that the Governors friends have
won in practically all of them.
The majority in Philadelphia for
Amber over Snyder will be about 25,-
900. Taking this as a basis it is fair
to presume that about ten of the
twelve delegates-at-large favorable to
Governor Brumbaugh had similar ma
iorities which it will be impossible for
the Penrose delegates to overcome in
the rest of the State. OF the district
delegates elected in Philadelphia
eight of the twelve are favorable to
the Governor.
I'm Allegheny county, five of the
eight district delegates are favorable
TO the Governor, but the returns on
the delegates-at-large are so incom-
plete that no accurate idea of the re-
suit is possible. The indications are,
however, that the Governors friends
will carry the county by small ma
iority In Lackawanna there was a
majority of at least two to one in fa-
vor of the Governors friends.
I'm addition to these, Beaver. Blair,
Bradford. Chester, Clearfield, Clinton,
Fulton. Juniata. Lycoming. Mercer.
Susquehanna. Wayne and Westmore-
land counties have been reported to
us as being carried by the Governor.
The reports from Dauphin, Mont
gomery. Lebanon and BerlSs coun-
ties indicate that they are against the
Governor, while the figures from
Cumberland and Washington indicate
that the result there is very doubtful"
