THE RESULT IN 111
BOTH FACTIONS CLAIM THE VIC-
TORY IN THE STATE PRI-
MARY CONTESTS.
HULL DEFEATED FOR CONGRESS
9gv. Carroll Feels Confident of Nom-
ination—Smith and Towner, Both
Regulars, Have Probably Won Out—
Progressives Control Legislature.
THE AMERICAN CONSUL T
BLEIEFIELOS THREATENED
Lx-h Moines, la, June 9.—Meagre re-
turns from 140 preclncta In the state,
indicate that II. f. Carroll will be re-
nominated for governor over Warren
Gars', !he progressive candidate, by a
majority of 10,000 In the primary elec-
tion. These figures are based on the
Cumuilm-l-accy vote of two years ago,
Cummins was elected to the United
fcttui s<-nate.
■ Hoth the progressive and standpat
headquarters are claiming victory for
their ' andldates by a majority of 20,-
000 but It will take late returns to de-
termine the outcome which Is admit-
tedly clone.
There Is no doubt that Judge 8. F.
Prouty, progressive candidate for con-
gress in the Seventh district has been
nominated over Congressman J. A. T.
Hull. The Prouty managers estimate
bis majority at 800 based on returns
from DeB Moines, and one or two pre-
elscts In the outlying counties. The
city precincts gave Prouty 2,645 votes
and Hull 2,217 votes, a lead of 328
otes for Prouty. It Is certain that
this lead will be more in other coun-
tlM.
Ninth District In Doubt.
* The Ninth district Is very much In
doubt at a late hour with the chances
favoring the nomination of Walter I.
Smith, the present Incumbent, over
Attorney General H. W. flyers, the pro-
gressive candidate. Smith's managers
claim victory by 1,000 majority.
The Eighth district Is also close but
It Is generally believed that Judge H.
M Towner, the standpat candidate,
will be tbe victory over John Harrah
Kennedy In the Flrat.
IB tbe First district Congressman C.
K. Kennedy was nominated over
Brookhart, tbe progressive candidate.
Tbe progressives won in the Second
Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Tenth and
Eleventh.
There Is little question about the
progressive Republicans controlling
the state convention and endorsing the
wnators ami other Insurgents of the
Iowa delegation and whetheT they win
on the head of the ticket, and In the
contested congressional district*, they
feel that tbe reaulta of the primaries la
In effect a vlstory.
The nominations for congress, aa In-
dicated by present returns, are:
First District—C. A. Kennedy, etand
pat.
Second District—Charles Grllk, pro-
gressive.
Third District—C. E. Pickett, pro-
gressive.
Fourth District—Gilbert N. Haugen,
progressive
Firth District—James W. Good, pro-
gressive.
Birth District—N. E. Kendall, pro-
gressive.
Seventh District—€. F. Prouty, pro-
gressive.
Eighth District—H. G. Towner, stand
pat.
Ninth District—Walter Bmlth, stand
pat.

Persistent Rumors That His Assassins-
tlon Would be Attempted—A
Clash With Our Navy by
Madriz Government.
Blueflelds, June 9.—There have been
repeated rumors here that the as-
valuation of Mr. Offal, the American
consul, would be attempted and they
have caused considerable Indignation.
These reports, following the antongls-
tlc attitude .adopted by tbe Madriz-
Ista In defying the American govern-
ment by issuing an official statement
that the first vessel entering Blue-
fields whether flying the American
flag or not would be seized, have
caused a feeling of disquietude among
Americans.
In reply to the statement concerning
seizures commander Hlnes of the
Dubuque, who Is now the senior Amer-
ican officer here, has given notice to
General Rives In these terms:
"The first shot fired at any vessel
engaged In commercial relations with
America or showing the American flag
will cause me to level Blueflelds bluff.
This warning may be considered final."

CUTTING WHEAT IN OKLAHOMA
Farmers Are Working in the Harvest
Fields in Tillman and Com-
anche Counties.
Oklahoma, City, Ok., June 9.—Okla-
homa's wheat harvest Is now under
way. Threshing has begun in the soft
wheat fields of Tillman and Comanche
counties. Some soft wheat has heen
cut In the North Canadian river valley
between here and El Reno. The hard
wheat harvest will begin in Central
Oklahoma next week and by the end
of the week may reach the Kansas
line. About 15 per cent of the Okla-
homa crop is soft wheat.
C. V. Topping, secretary of the Okla
homa Millers' association, believes
that the total wheat yield in Oklahoma
this season will reach 20,000,000 bush-
els. Last year's crop was about 12,-
000,000 bushels. The best wheat is in
the northwestern counties. The only
marked shortage Is in Kay and Grant
counties, where some injury came
from dry weather last winter. The
quality will be fine

WALL STREET PRICES WENT UP
Speculator! Were Jubilant Over the I
Government's Agreement With
the Railroads.
New York, June 9.—As a result ol |
the agreement reached the conference j
between President Taft and the heads
of the leading railroad systems, prices
of stocks showed extraordinary ad-
vances at the opening of the market,
more than recovering the losses that
occurred late Monday. Oreat excite-
ment prevailed at the outset. Brokers
were clamoring wildly to buy stocks
and there were wide variations In
Initial prices.
From the Wall street point of view
the agreement between the railroads
and the government Is gratifying be-
cause it relieves the railroads of prose-
cution under the anti-trust law, even
though it postpones the proposed ad-
vance in freight rates until it can be
passed on by the Interstate Commerce
commission under the new proposed
railroad law.
