town at noon today was confident that
Elkins would win out in the contest.
The reports :he headquarters were re
ceived we're scattered and no definite
statement could be made on the face
OF the returns Elkins carried No.
nongalia Countyl-his own county
by from 500 TO 1000 over Highland.
It Is understood that Elkins has LOST
jefferson county. The headquarters
stated that It had heard nothing def.
mite on the tier Of southern counties,
not even estimates could be secured.
The headquarters said "Elkins is run
mig neck and reck with Highland"
Late this afternoon the Watson
headquarters in this city felt satisfied
that Col. Watson had won out, but
were adverse to giving any estimates
because OF the incomplete returns.
This afternoon some OF the Colonels
campaign workers believed that Mr..
Watson would win out from 1900 TO
5000 in the state. At one time this
morning Watso's majority was even
put as low as 1000, but some reports
from the various counties help 10 Dol
ster up the figures, which soon shot
up to as high as 5000. Generally 1t is
considered that the last figure is way
high. Attorney c. L. Shaver, state
Democratic chairman, would not sub
nit any figures all saying that enough
OF the districts had not reported TO
make any definite statements,
During the afternoon 1t was learned
by long distance telephone that Sen.
ator Watson had carried the follow
ing counties: Berkeley, 27S; Calhoun.
ESQ; Gilmer, 1874; Lewis, 20S; Marion,
2422; Ohio, 3lS; Taylor, $50; Tyler.
230; Upshur, so; Harrison, l04s. 1t
was learned that Chiffon carried jeff.
ferson county by eight votes and
Roane county by 2JS.
In Harrison county Watson secured
1929 to Chilton's 67l. According 10
the dope" secured from Charleston
Chiffon is leading. In fact there is
not enough tangible returns to know
exactly how the election does stand.
