NEW MANAGER
COMEDIES LOSS
OF PRI NJ AR 7

"It appears that Albert J. Bever-
idge is the Republican nominee for
United States Senator"
This statement was made today by
Fred I. King, Harry S. News cam
paign manager.
However, We are not ready to con-
cede absolutely he said.
Mr. King said the figures at New
headquarters still indicated a slight
lead for New, but that he had just re-
ceived report from Lake County in
| dicating Beveridge had carried the
| county by a large majority. Mr.
King intimated it was the belief of
New headquarters that this was sufi-
cient to swing the nomination to
Beveridge.
Our own figures had been only
! 500 majority for Beverdige," he
said. ''In addition to this there are
returns to come in from Madison
County and several other places
which probably will overcome Sen
ator News lead. On the face of avail:
able returns it looks as if Beveridge
had been nominated"
/ The New managers had not given up
| hope Of victory. however, and insisted
: that final returns would show that
| had carried the State By 5000 oF.-
/ They pointed out that only one half OF
/ Marion County is included in the fig
/ ures given out by them, and among these
missing Marion County precincts are
many negro precincts. These local ne
gro precincts have been giving New
vote between two and three times that
of his opponent.
They also insist that many New strong
holds from throughout the State have not
yet reported.
Beveridge marS gers claim the state by
10000 or more, pointing out that the
rural districts have been coming in
/ strongly for Beveridge and they say the
majority of the precincts out are OF this
character and will more than offset any
big majorities returned for New by the
/ local negro precincts.
All through the morning the New lead
according to figures compiled at his
headquarters, had slowly but steadily
climbed until it stood at 3,414 in 2,061
precincts at II o'clock. The New forces
began to take on an air Of optimism, but
the events of the next hour dashed the
newly aroused hopes, for the next III
precincts wipes out the New lead en-
tirely and put Beveridge ahead by 141

compiled on forty-two counties at New
headquarters, gave Beveridge twenty

Senator New appeared at his campaign
headquarters in the Severin Hotel late
in the morning after having kept in
close touch with results received there
throughout the night He appeared
slightly worn and anxious but expressed
confidence as to the final result
During the morning many OF Senator
News friends came to headquarters. By
noon there was large group around the
Senator. Among the visitors were
Charlie A. Bookwalter member of the
board of park commissioners, and for
mer mayor; William P. Evans, county
prosecutor, and Richard Fairbanks, son
Of former Vice President Charles War
ren Fairbanks
Fred I. King and others at the New
headquarters were at a loss to explain the
wide difference between figures which
they had and reports gathered by other
agencies. Those tabulating the result at
New headquarters said that nothing was
recorded except the figures by precincts
oil New and Beveridge and that estimates
of majorities and all other calculations
were disregarded.
According to figures given out at New
headquarters, Senator New has carried
the following congressional districts:
First, by 5000; Second, 450 Fourth,
1,100; Seventh, 1900; Twelfth, 2,50o;
Thirteenth $50.
The following districts are conceded to
Beveridge: Third, by 1850; Fifth, 900;
Sixth, 2.400; Eighth, 2,0J0; Ninth, 1900;
Tenth, 1.050; Eleventh $50.

1,400, in six districts, Beveridge 1900 in
seven districts, and give this much of the
State to New by $500
As in the race against Senator Wat
son six years ago, Senator New Is rely
ing on Marion County for the decisive
majority that would assure him the
nomination, and the utmost concern Is
being shown at New headquarters over
the Marion County returns.
Wayne County, the old stronghold of
the Bull Moose in campaigns gone by,
came through with a handsome majority
for Beveridge, fifty out of sixty
five prefn2ts in the county giving Beve-
