Senator Grundy, with charac

this morning, refusing to concede

in such figures that q CONCESSION

PinchOt Gaining Ground
The Pinchot-Brown race was

night, but this morning the tall
forester was leading Brown by
some 1000 in Allegheny county
(Pittsburgh) while the territory

The strength Of Pinchot ard
the weakness Of Grundy were the
outstanding features to the poll

Slaughtered in Philadelphia,
the stronghold Of the Ware ma
chine, against which he cam
paigned so aSsiduously, Pinchot
ran a strong and surprising race
elsewhere in the State. His
managers are claiming that on
the final returns he will be shown
to have carried all but one of
Pennsylvania 81 counties. He
received only $4,000 votes in
Philadelphia 1n a total vote of
approximately 100000.

Ware Machi' Runs True
The Ware organization in Phila-
delphia delivered handsomely for
the Davis-Brow11 ticket.
For a week prior to yesterday
there had been widespread re-
ports that the ward leaders in
Philadelphia would ditch Davis"
if it became necessary to do so
to save Brown. Such reports, in
fact, were given voice by Senator
Grundy himself, who said yester-
day during the balloting that he
understood Davis was being
traded off for Brown votes.
The complete, although unof-
ficial Philadelphia results, dem
onstrated the untruth of these
rumors. The Ware wards on the
south side went down the line
solidly for both Davis and Brown,
as shown by the fact there was
only a few votes in their respec-
tive showings. The figures were:
Davis. 241,050; Brown, 241, 1,133.
Similarly, the teeming Ware
wards in South Philadelphia held
fast against the temptation to
bolt the organization for the
Phillips -Bohlen ticket.
