 In spite of other uncertainties in connection with the Arizona election, there seems to be little doubt that the votes of Harry F. Pickett of Douglas Homer K. Wood of Prescott and Lamar Cobb of Phoenix will be cast for Wood row Wilson.
 The question of which elector will journey to Washington with the official vote will be decided Monday. Mir.

MT. Cobbs duties as state engineer, will possibly keep him in the state. MT.
