PHILADELPHIA, May 81. WH
Clifford Pinchot slowly. gained on
Francis Skunk Brown as returns
trickled in today from yesterdays
primary election, but it was exceed
ingly doubtful if he could gain suf-
ficiently to endanger Browns lead
and win the Republican nomination
for goveror.
Secretary of Labor James J.
Davis was safely nominated as the
Republican candidate for the SEN
ate, defeating Joseph r. Grundy, in
cumbent.
Returns from 5642 of the states
S701 precincts gave:
For senator-Graundy 81 AGO r.;
Davis $1,000; Davis plurality 2O7,'
80.
For governor-Brown 446,20S
Pinchot o54,02l; Browns plurality
92,is7.
For lieutenant governor, Shannon
had established commanding lead
although not more than half the
counties had reported their vote on
that office. The figures were:
For lieutenant governor - Shan
non 3l6,l52, Armstrong l0l ,056, and
Dorrance, l40,542.
Shannon carried both Pittsburgh
and Philadelphia by big majority.
Dewey was in equally favorable
position for secretary of internal
affairs. The count for that office
stood:
Dewey, 29s, $50; Woodward, ll6,-
900.
Shows Ware Strength
The apparent victory of Davis
and the leadership of Brown in
Philadelphia are testimonials to the
strength of the William s. Ware or
ganization in this city, which deliv.
cred heavy major;ties to them.
1t was in Allegheny county, of
which Pittsburgh is the center that
Brown met difficulties. 1t gave
Davis a heavy plurality, but then
turned to Pinchot, giving him lead
which was the underlying cause of
Browns now somewhat precariour
position.
1he vote for Pinchot in Allegheny
county was one of the interesting
phases of the bitter primary con
test. There, the w. l.. Mellon or
ganization had thrown its support
to Brown, but, unlike the Ware
forces in Philadelphia, it could> not
muster solid front for its candi
date.
ABILENE, Tex, May 2l. WH-
Texas voters today had APPARENT,
denied Mrs. X. Q. Lee the privilege

Virtually complete returns from
the special election held yesterday
to name successor to r. q. Lee
who died recently while holding
office, indicated today that Blan
ton had won by safe margin owe
the widow of the late congressman
Returns from the 10 counties o.
the district gave Blanton tota
of 1918 votes and Mrs. Lee, 6,J55.
PIERRE, S. d., May 2l. W.H-
Despite the fact she was popula
choice at the primary election tw
weeks ago, Miss Gladys Pyle, sec
retary of state, found herself de
feated today in her ambition t

she sought and came so close t
winning at the primary, was give
last night by the state g. 0. p. con
vention to Warren Il. Green, VIII

After hectic session in whic
Miss Pyle soon lost her lead, tn
delegates selected Green as thei
nominee on the 18th ballot. His vi,
tory resulted from the decision o
Broke Howell of Frederick, to re
lease the delegates who had SUI
ported him.
On the final ballot Green ha
64,223 votes, Miss Pyle 1885, How
ell, 3,44l, and Carlo Trygstad, 4,34t
