ALBUQUERQUE. N. M. Sept. 21 The election of Holm O. Bursum of Socorro as United States senator from New Mexico was indicated by a plurality of more than 1000, based upon comprehensive but incomplete returns from every county in the state, received at republican state headquarters here today. Figures show that Bursum carried 20 coun- ties, with total of 13.173; Richard H. Hanna, Democrat, carried II counties, his total vote being $500. This gives Bufsum 1878 plurality.
 O. l.. Phillips, chairman of the re- publican campaign committee said this afternoon that Senator Bursum's plurality would exceed 5000. He said a large majority of the missing pre- cincts are republican and is confident they will increase Bursum's lead.
 Arthur Seligman, Santa Fe, demo- cratic chairman, in long distance telephone statement to the Morning Journal tonight, said:
 T think Bursum has been elected, but | don't think his. plurality will be as large as the Republicans claim. Reports that we are receiving now are cutting down Bursums s plurality
 Returns on the Il constitutional amendments are meager. The count ing of the vote everywhere has been slow and no figures have been. re- ceived to indicate what the final re- suit will be.
