Obregon, General Benjamin Hill and
numerous friendly officials who recent-j
ly fled from Mexico City, are with
Maycot's command, which consists of,
three regiments of cavalry and two ofj
j artillery. j
! Private advices from the border said j
tlmt General Arnulfo Gomez with 3000
men had occupied Tuxpan and was
i threatening Tampico. These advices
I also declared that Colonel Rodoifo Gal
I legos and -100 men in Linares, Nuevo

OMAHA, Neb.. April 21. Senator j
T-IIram Johnson continued to .maintain
a lead as the ballots in Tuesday's pres-

lied today. With '132 precincts out of
1S19 heard from he had polled 15,bl8
voles to 12,762 for Leonard Wood and
7300 for General John J. Pershing.
The contest for delegate at large on
the Democratic ticket furnished the
most interest in Nebraska this morn
i mg. While one of William J. Bryan's
delegates was running third in the
field of eight, Bryan dropped back to
seventh position when 408 precincts
I had been counted. Political observers
call attention to the fact, however,
that while Bryan lost Douglas county
he was running second outside of the
county and the race promises to be
I close. The vote of 40S precincts stood :
Hitchcock delegates, Neville 1 2,252;
Shallenberg 12.035; Neble 9819; Mc

! The Democratic raco for governor
was not as close. With 404 precincts
tabulated Moreland had 7309 and
Clark, his nearest opponent, 3544.
For national committeemen on ,the
Republican eide, R. B. Howell led Mc
Cloud with 3B5 precincts heard from,
17.S84 to 12,637.
Howell carried Douglas county
(Omaha) by 579o votes with 145 pre
cincts out of 1G8 heard from.
Rnce To Be Close.
Arthur Mullen is leading Thompson
for Democratic national committeeman
but this race likewise promises to be
close as Mullen's lead was established
in Douglas county while Thompson
was leading in the state outside of
Douglas.
Few votes had been counted on the
Republican delegate-at-large vote, but
in the few that have been counted, the
Wood delegates are leading, although
nil of thorn, with one exception have
pledged to vote for the preferential
choice.
Of the 145 precincts that have re
ported in Douglas county, Wood led by
almost 300 votes over Johnson, with
Pershing tihrd.
McMullen carried Omaha over Mc
Kelvie by 900 with the same number
of precincts heard from, but the gov
ernor overcame this lead with a heavy
v- c from out in the state.
Moreland carried both the oulstate
and the city or Omaha by about two to
one over Selkirk, his nearest opponent.
The returns are being gathered and
compiled by the Nebraska election bu
reau, an organization of two Omaha
and one Lincoln morning paper.
