SIGNIFICANCE INDICATED

The plurality given Harding is al
most equal to the number Of written
in" votes given Johnson, therefore it
is impossible to escape the conclusion
that if the votes had not been given
to Johnson, Wood would have
triumphed over Harding.
Angus McSween, heading the
johnson campaign forces announced
that Harry Kalisch, formerly cor
poration counsel of Newark has been
retained to file petitions for recount
with the circuit judges in the districts
in which johnson forces considered
their candidates count in doubt.

circuit judges in the districts where
tile count is considered question
able.
With So precincts missing, MajOr
General Wood was leading Senator
Johr sol by 672 votes in the New

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Sena-
tor Hiram johnson is the big winner
in Tuesdays primaries in Ohio and
New Jersey.
Not alone by the size of the vote
given him, nor by the number of
delegates elected under pledges to
support him in the Chicago conven-
tion, but by the eliminating effect Of
his big vote on the Wood and Harding
candidates., is the triumph of the
California senator to be measured.
Both Wood and Harding were suf-
ferers in yesterdays elections. Hard
ing's plurality in his own state over
Wood is not large enough to convince
even the most hardened of the Old
Guard manipulators that he is the
man upon whom they can concentrate
in order to keep johnson from
getting the nomination.
