SULzERLEADS BY FEW VOTES
 E HE REPORT
Missing Precincts Not Lik- ely To Be Received in
 Time to be Counted.

From the pile Of exchanges received yesterday from the north as far as Nome. the reports of the various divisions compiled by the many news papers. justify the belief that sulzer is elected. According to all the figures at hand, which are as acurate as they can be obtained, put Sulzer in the lead
 The figures from the Fourth Div ision in which several precincts are reported missing may not come in time 10 be counted, altho their chance is perhaps better than the missing pre- cincts in the Second and Third. If they do not come in. Sulzer will have 8 lead Of several more votes in the Fourth than he is credited. In the Second division, there has been no change and it is believed that the re- turns not in are all that will be receiv- ed in time to be counted. Point Barrow and Kiana being missing and with little or no chance of their returns being received at Nome, and much less at Juneau before the the canvassing board meets.
 h the Third division the Bristol bay precincts are still missing, but as they have never been received in time to he counted if ic very nroha h1e that they will not be counted this year. Two years ago they did not arrive until May; almost three months after the canvassing board sat
 The First division, which gave Sul- ger q splendid majority will undoub- tedly keep him in the lead from to 15 votes, thus eIecting him Delegate. These figures are probably as accur- ate as they can be under the condit- ion.
