Tall (Still In the Fight According to returns In hand tonight from approximately 4,600 of the 5,192 precincts In the state. Col. Theodore Roosevelt's delegation to the National Republican Contention carried yesterday's Ohio primaries by a plurality of about 25,000 votes. It now seems scarcely possible that final results from tfie primary poll will change the number of districts delegates for either side by more than ono or two. The best figures 'available tonight show that Roosevelt has 32 of the forty two district delegates selected yesterday and that President Tart baa ten. Although later returns on the Democratic presidential preference primary vote give Wocrdrow Wilson a fighting chance, for one or two more delegates, tbe New Jersey man's exact standing will not be be known for several days, when certain belated rural returns have been sectfred from dillatary Judges who refused to complete the counts in their precincts before taking a night's ileep. However, Governor Harmon practically la assured a complete complete delegation of 48 delegates to the BatKlxnore convention. His lead now gives him control, of the State Democratic convention, which rill elect six delegatee-at-large. Alio it is said Chat the convention will force the 'Wflson delegates, selected by districts yesterday to vote for the Ohio executive. Clumbus, O., May 28.?Early returns show Roosevelt secured at leasty thirty-two of the forty-two delegates to the republican national convention in yesterday's primaries. Governor Harmon on the Democratic side,- has twenty-eight delegates and Governor Wilson, eight. Harmon has- a large lead in the presidential pdfeference vote. .Roosevelt, it la estimated has apparently twenty thousand plurality over Taft. Taft so far has carried only three entire districts. Despite the fsct that their names were not on the ballot Wiliam J. Byran and Champ Clark received scattering votes. Returns are meager on the vote for delegates to the Republican | state convention but it is believed the Rooeevelt forces will nominate. The convention will name six delegates at large. The Democratic party in its call provided that the the candidate receiving the large vote be permitted to name his own six delegates at large. This gives Harmon a better opportunity to increase his number of delegates. Harmon's majority probably will exceed Roosevelt's. On the returns of seventy of eighty-eight counties Taft has ten of forty-two delegates to the national convention. The rural vote was light throughout the state. The farmers stayed at home planting their crops. The vote in the Democratic preferential contest is unknown. Reports from 785 precincts out of 5.198 Indicate that Harmon received seventeen thousand in these precincts while Clark received 170 and Bryan 165. PresMeat Still in Fight Taft. returning from his Ohio tour, arrived this morning and plunged into a busy day at the white house office. The president leaves today for the New Jeraey campaign. The primaries of that state will be held Tuesday. The president had no statement- concerning the Ohio results. He made known to bis friends that he is still in the light and believes h* will have enough delegates to secure the nominaton at Chicago. FREEDOM COST MORSE glOO.OOO Atlanta. Oa., May 88.?Charles W.

May 22.?Counsel for Betram G. Spencer, who was convicted of the murder of Miss Martha E. Blackstone at 8pringfleld two years ago, appeared before the full bench of the Massachusetts supreme court here today to make a final appeal to save the condemned man from the electric chair. Spencer's lawyers, In support of their plea for a new trial, contend that evidence or the prisoner's Insanity, produced by competent alienists, was disregarded by the trial Jury. Miss Blacketone'e murder, whHe she was sitting at the* table of friends whose home Spencer had entered to burglarize, and Spencer's subsequent arrest in April. 1910. culminated a series of breaks and robberies which, had most of the city of Springfield agog with tear for a long :time. After his arrest Spencer confessed to killing Miss Blacks tornand also admitted hia guilt to a scord or more of burglaries. For nearly a year after hia arrest he was coni fined In an Insane asylum for observation. At the end of that period 'the experts declared bim to be sane , and be was tried and convicted of the murder. CLOSING EXERCISES OF mm HIGH SCHOOL !
