He declared most of the returns thus
far made public have been gathered By
Wood agencies and that "they would nat

eating that Senator Johnson had car
ried large sections by comfortable plur-
alities

JOHNSON MANAGER
SEES RACE CLOSE.
/ Zell C. Swain, Johnson's Indiana man
/ ager. issued the following statement.
! AT this time it looks to me like the
state Of Indiana is going to be very
close.
johnson stands a good show of beat
I ing Wood yet.
I'm any event think it will be very
/ close either way"
At Johnson's headquarters strong hope
/ was held out that industrial districts
/ yet to be heard from will strengthen the
/ senator's position.
/ Twenty seven precincts at Terre Haute
give johnson 73S Wood SOL Lowden 53l
and Harding los, according to reports
reaching Johnson's offices.
The senator's adherents said they ex-
| pect similar reports from other industrial
cities.
In the Wood camp it was pointed out
/ that the general is going strong" In the
rural communities, but Johnson adher-
I ents likewise pointed to the senator's
surprising" strength outside the cities.
/ Warren T. McCray of Kentland, repub-
/ lican candidate for governor today had
majority of votes outside Marion coun-
I ty, according to figures at his headquar-
/ ters. In Indianapolis, however, James
