MEAGRE RETURNS

Bryan Running Behind Ticket
for Delegate to National
Convention

Omaha, Neb., April l9.-Meagre re-
turns from the Nebrasbra presidential
preference primary election today
showed that W. j. Bryan was running
behind the ticket and had possibly been
beaten for delegate 1T large to the
democratic national convention. Henry
Ford polled a good vote here and was
close to Senator Cummins in the state
balioting for the republican presidential
preferences. Many inserted the name
Of Justice Hughes on tle ballot.
@, w, Bryan Runs Well.
Lincoln, Neb, April l9.-The slow
ness of election returns in coming in
today rendered the outcome Of the Ne
braska preference primary rather un-
certain. 1t will take several days to
count the ballots.
Reports that Henry Ford was leading
in the republican presidential prefer
ence vote proved unfOunded because no
attempt is being made to tabMate the
presidential ballots, interest centering
on the scnatorship and gubernatorial
contests.
Gilbert NJ. Hitchcock, democrat, is
running strong for the senatorship,
Keith Neville, c. w. Bryan s opponent,
appears to be making a formidable
fight for the governship, but the Bryan
supporters say that the country dis.
tricts are yet to be heard from.

Washington, April ia brilliant
audience heard President Wilson 3 mes
sage to congress today regarding rela-

and cabinet galleries were crowded and
few members of the house and senate
failed to have their families present.
Long before the president arrived at
the capitol, crowds were jostling for
standing space in the halls outside the
gallery doors. Representative Schall,
the blind MinnesOtan, was the first
member on the floor After a page had
led him to ais seat, he sat in solitude
for more than half an hour.
Congressman, eager to learn the pres
ident's course, surrounded Representa-
tives Flood and Cooper of the house
foreign relations committee Republi
cans criticised the president for not
consulting the republicans until his
message to Germany had been dis
patched. Cooper expressed diss ltisfac-
tion at the presidents s course in this
respect.
To guard the executive, every avaia-
bic member of the capitol police force
was on duty. They guarded every door,
and those without tickets were not ad-
mitted.
The president was grave and earnest
as he spoke. Members of congress amt
those in the crowded galleries scarcely
stirred until he had finished. No ap-
plause interrupted him.
A full minute after he had ceased a
brief storm of applause broke, members
