CHICAGO, Wednesday,, April H. Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois yesterday received the indorsement of Illinois for the republican presidential nomination on unofficial returns. with only few precincts missing, in the presidential preference primary.
 The figures gave Lowden a plurality of 64,574 over Major General Leonard Wood, the only other candidate whose name was printed on the ticket.
 Senator Hiram w. Johnson of Cali fornia, whose name was written in by many voters. especially in Cook county, boiled a large vote. In Cook county he received 40,S81 votes, of which 5365 were cast by women.
 General Wood carried Cook county by 27,443, but this lead was overcome by Governor Lowden's down state vote Wood carried Chicago by 25,599
 Twenty-seven district delegates to the republican national convention who have declared for Governor Low den were elected along with r who in dicated no preference before filing. One of the IT in Cook county recently an- nounced that he would vote for John son at the national convention

 Senator Johnsons strength was in Chicago, where most of his vote ap- peared. There was no contest in the democratic primary. but the names of more than half a dozen democrats were written on the ballots in scattering re- turns. Herbert Hoover's name ap- peared in some of the republican bal lots.
 the only candidates who made speaking campaigns in Illinois.
 Lively Election
 Women cast courtesy vote in many counties and in some places the cleo tion clerks failed to separate men and women ballots The women's vote. however, was comparatively light.
 In Chicago, where the presidential preference primary was combined with an election of ward committeeman, the Kidnapping of election judges and work CTS, shooting and slugging and other acts of violence marked the balloting.
 In one precinct. 200 feet from the polling place, an unidentified election worker was shot after a quarrel. The wounded man was spirited away be- fore the police arrived.
 Adolph Muus. an election judge. and Charles Neimark. an election worker were Kidnapped by several unidentified men in an automobile. All the ballots in the precinct were taken and the poll ing place not opened until a. m., when a fresh supply was obtained Police were unable to find the missing judge and worker before the close of the polls.
 Mayor Thompson, republican na- tional committeeman for Illinois, gained full control of the republican county organization for the next four years through the election of ward committeeman having his backing.
 Nearly complete unofficial returns indicated the following selection of dis trict delegates to the republican na- tional convention:
 For Lowden: Twenty seven: no pref erence, seventeen.
 All except one of the no preference delegates were from Chicago.
 In Illinois delegates file their prefer ences before election.
