MOBILE

Mobile, May 10.-(Special.) )-Results of the primary election from many pre- cincts ill south Alabama will not be known until the official count. Even in Mobile two city wards are missing. The count will be made tomorrow. Failure of the election judges to post the count at some of the voting places here as pro- vided by law has been noted in several instances. The returns are very incom- plete in Baldwin, Escambia, Washington, Clarke Monroe and Conecuh. Only 19 out of 35 precincts in Mobile county have reported.
 Denson, Rushton, White and Willett are leading in this section for delegates at-large from the state to St. Louis.
 Smith undoubtedly has big lead down here over Burr for national committee man.
 Kennedy holds his opponents safe for the public service commission
 Incomplete returns from city wards and Mobile county precincts give the follow ing:
 Delegate at large, Carmichael 854; Dem son, 1926; Hood, SS1; Rushton, 1887; Spra- gins, 93S; White, 12S2; Wil1ett, 995. Dele- gate from First district to national con- vention, Bedsole, 579; Erwin, 1750; McCor- vey 14Oo. National committeeman, Burr, 399; Smith, 11S7. Chief justice, Anderson, 1499; Mitchell, 2S5
 Court of appeals, Bonner 671; Bricken, 1907; Brown, S57; Knight, S27; Pelham, 1856; Whiteside, 823 President public serv- ice commission, Carnley, 391 Kennedy, 1079; Merritt, 5s5. Game commissioner, Goodwin, 257; Wallace, 1045; Ward, 249
 A remarkable contest developed in the race for district judge here Judge o. J. Semmes, Saffold Berney and NorviIle R. Leight, Jr., appear to have safe, but close, niajorities.

In the county contests, Judge w. T. Lawler was renominated by a plurality of about 200 over David D. Over ton, with Zac I. Drake third in the race George Darwin is the nominee for tax assessor, Thomas W. Jones for circuit court clerk, and Joseph J. Bradley for commissioner The race for tax collector lies between John F. Mosely and Tom Phillips with the result in doubt. Mrs. Felix Baldridge was elected a member of the board of education.

BIBB

Centreville, May 10.-(Special.) )-The prl. mary election in Bibb county passed of without any serious friction on yesterday The race for county offices overshadowed the contest for state places to the extent that it is impossible to tell definitely the result of most of the places. s. P. Ken nedy leads Merritt and Carnley for presi- dent of the railroad commission. John H Wallace has defeated his two opponents for state game warden, and Ed Smith leads Burr for national committeeman All other state places uncertain.
 Nicholson has won the race for probate judge by a small majority, while Robert Thrasher wins for circuit clerk; w. T Reaves for tax collector, and E. Wood Pearson for tax assessor. w. P. Collins E. F. Farrar, W. w. Lavender and W. T Wood seem to be certain winners fol four places on the county school board with the fifth place in doubt. At this box, John 1T. Wallace received 125 votes for state game warden while A. T. Goodwin received 67 and Kirby Ward 17. A full vote was cast in Bibb county

Later Returns Do Not Alter Results Forecast by Age
 Herald on Early Figures
tcontrnuea from Page One,

f~aEe Onc1 and reports from other sections of the state indicate like results. Trammel Henderson of Andalusia and W. T. Sci bels of Montgomery are leading for dele gates from the Second district with l.. s. Betty of Montgomery and Allen Cren- shaw of Luverne winners for alternate places.
 Wallace is maintaining a big lead in Montgomery and adjacent counties for game and fish commissioner, with Cap tain Goodwin of Elmore running second
 Pelham Bricken and Whiteside lead the ticket in Montgomery county for places on the court of appeals. Pelham seems to have carried nearly every county in south Alabama with Bricken running a close second. The forecast here is that the nominees for the court of appeals are Pelham, Briczen and Whiteside
 Judge Gaston Gunter and Leon McCord are considered winners in the race for judgs of the Fifteenth circuit, with Gun ter far in the lead. McCord's majority over Thomas will be very small, it is declared.
 Returns received in Montgomery gave Blackmon a majority in the Fourth dis trict. Blackmon won in Dallas county by a majority of 2c0. In Selma, Rushton

LAWRENCE

Courtland, May 1o.-(Special blowing to the poor telephone connections and the very long ticket to be counted, it is inn possible to give any final figures as to the result of the election yesterday in Lawrence county. Sufficient data has been obtained, however. to show that the following candidates were elected: J. c. Kumpe, probate judge; John M. Roberts
 tax assessor; w. R. Jackson, clerk, and
 the following members of the county board of revenue: Harris, Kitchens, Arm strong and Robertson. The race for tax collector is in doubt, with the chances favoring Frank Smith. A large vote was polled in the county, exceeding by more than 400 votes than cast in the last gen. eral election. J. c. Kumpe was elected probate judge over c. M. Sherrod of this place. This makes the sixth straight term of Judge Kumpe without a break. John M. Roberts, who defeated w. C.. Hamilton for tax assessor is Confeder- ate soldier and his vote was a perfect avalanch. The news from the congress sional race is that Callahan has carried the county by small majority. For cir cult judges, Brickell and Kyle seem to have large majority in Lawrence county.

LIMESTONE

Athens, May 10.-(Special.) lowing to the extreme length of the ticket the vote is slow coming in and the full returns may not be known until the official count, owing to the fact that only the count was kept as to local or county officers and congressman. Judge Almon for Congress carried this county by safe majority, even though fought bitterly by the Calla- han forces, but they were unable to cope with the Almon forces. The county has gone each time for Almon in the three primaries. Judge George Malone is re- elected probate judge for the third time. He was an easy winner. Col. M. K. Clement was second in the race, and B. R. Holbrook third. Bob Thomas won for circuit court clerk, defeating the pres ent incumbent. Henderson Legg and R. H. Mcconnell, J. B. Gray was reelected. County tax assessor for the third time Erskin Robinson was reelected county tax collector without opposition. Brick ell and Kyle seem to have carried the county for circuit judge, though Ballen- tine is running well. The old board of county commissioners were defeated and the following county commissioners chosen. Clebur Carter, w. A. Williams, Tolly Smith and w. A. Thomas.
