A Close Contest.

CORDOVA, Nov. 7.-The presence here of Delegate Wickersham and the activity of his workers has undoubt- edly had some effect upon the vote here, but it is doubted if he will carry this precinct. Sulzer made splendid impression here, and gained many friends, sufficient it is believed, to overcome the advantage the Dele gates presence here may have in his favor, and it is thought that Sulzer will carry the town by a small plu- rality. The full vote is being brought out.
 Along the railroad, which has all ways been for Wickersham, there is probably little change. At Chitina and Mccarthy the Democrats claim Sulzer has an even break and possibly a shade the best of the contest. At Kennecott, it is believed the endorse ment of Sulzer by the labor element has had big effect, and that this precinct will give a majority for the Democratic candidate.
