WITH SMALL NUMBER OF RETURNS
INDICA TIONS ARE THAT T HE WILL
DEFEAT HANCOCK THREE THOUSAND
TWENTY ONE PRECINCTS OUT OF
THIRTY SEVEN IN THIS COUNTY
SHOW SENATOR STOKES IN LEAD

Returns from 81 of the 81
voting precincts of Escambia
county at $3.50 o'clock this morn
ing gave John P. Stokes a ma
jority of 184 votes over his op-
ponent, w. G. Fillingim. How
ever, it is understood that pre-
cinct No. 27 will give Filingim a
majority that will almost take
care of his deficiency and put
him on an even running with
Stokes for the remaining Is pre-
cincts.
This is proving to be the clos
est race of the entire campaign
with the probable exception of
the contest for the county judg-
ship which is between F. B. Car
ter, Jr., and Robert P. Stout.
Carter apparently from all in
dications, has a slight lead in the
county precincts with Stout oc-
cupying like position in the
city. The second choice vote
will be necessary to decide this
race, unless some of the pre-
cincts not yet heard from go
overwhelmingly for one or the
other of the candidates.
