 Returns from only Ill of the 3,002 precincts in Cuba had been received by the Central Electoral Board up till the time it closed shortly before mid- night. At that time pr. Alfredo Zayas coalition candidate was leading Gen. Jose Miguel Gomez. standard bearer of the liberal party by 682 votes. The tabulation as announced by the elec- toral board gave Zayas 11,O34 and Gomez 1O,352.
