RACE IN COUNTY
STILL IN DOUBT;
RETURNS MEAGRE
Complete Reports Received
From Only Four Rural Pre-
cinctS Democrats Are

Hopeful
Returns from rural precincts, not
Including Albuquerque were too mea-
ger al 2 o'clock this morning to indi-
cate with a reasonable degree OF GER
taipty which party had scored VIC
tory
Democrats believed that at least
mart of their ticket would be elected
Thsy found a lot of comfort In the
democratic pluralities given by the
49, a1-t a~-'os ~~~ Atrr~~rr~
cIncts. normally republican districts
The democrats. however acknowledge
ed the loss of Alameda, the only pre-
ripct outside the city which gave a
democratic plurality in the congress
sional election two years ago
Experienced political observers ex-
pressed the opinion that Rafael Car
cia. democratic candidate for sheriff
would run ahead of the rest of the
ticket Whether he had beaten Sher-
III Jesus Romero was questionable.
Democrats believed if any Of their
candidates were elected they would be
Garcil and Senator Barth. Manuel l..
vigil, they said, probably would lose
Bcrnalilo county by "a small plural
Iity, but they predicted his election.
Sandoval and Mckinley county, as
well as RernaliHo, voted in this con-
test. Reports from those counties
we're too small to give fairly sure in
dicatiun as to whether District Attor-
InCv vigil and Judge George K, Gratis
would carry them
Frank A. Hubbel will apparently
run ahead of his ticket.
Returns Slow I'm Coming in.
The long tickets and perhaps
scratching delayed the count in the ru-
raj precincts of BernaHllo county, At
midnight complete returns had been
obtained from only three precincts

Antonito. The three precincts gave
majorities to the republican presiden-
tial electors. The vote for United
