lots in Tuesdays primary in Essex.
Morris. Camden. Gloucester and Cape

sey apparently served to confirm indi-
cations that Major General Leonard
Wood would command IL Of the state S
2S delegates to the Republican conven-
ton in Chicago. unless revised official
figures or a recount should upset pres
ent totals.
Complete returns for the preferential
presidential contest gave Wood a lead Of

vote was: Wood. 54497, and johnson.
- .4Oj.
If Wood holds his lead he will have
all members of the big four as two are
pledged to him and the other two en-
tered the race with the understanding
that they would support the presiden-
tial candidate indicated TO be the choice
of Republicans in their state.
In addition. almost complete returns
for district delegate Indicate that Wood
will have T., johnson, .. and that three
will go to the convention unpledged.
