Austin of Minneapolis crept into one of the four leading positions in the Democratic-at-large race to- day the anti-Lynch men made the claim that they have definitely pre- vented the election of Fred B. Lynch as national committeeman. “If we can do nothing more we at least can force a compromise,” said Mr. Austin. “Mr. Lynch cannot be re-elected. The party could not af- ford to retain a man at its head when the rank and file are so evenly di- vided. The thing to do now is to find a man to unite the elements.” Anti-Lynch men claim that 12 of the 24 Democratic delegates-elect will stand against the present committee- men, and possibly one or two more. They claim, on more complete re- turns, to have elected Andrew Dono- van in the third district, Guy. A. Thomas in the tenth and W. F. Don- ohue in the sixth. If Austin and C. M. King are both elected at large and E. C. Hawkins in the seventh dis- trict, they claim 12 anti-Lynch men. The results in the district contests are as follows: First District, 185 Precincts. Republican--F. A. Duxbury, 2,925; R. L. Johnson, 3,508; B. C. McKen- zie, 2,416. Democrat — H. M. Lamberton, (Lynch) 1,909; C. S. Myren (anti) 1,403; F. G. Sasse (Lynch) 1,386. ‘Second District, 264 Precincts. Republican—J. P. Art, 2,937; C. H. Christopherson, 3,247; A. J. Geb- hard, 3,491; L. P. Johnson, 3,066; Thomas Thomason, 1,730. Democrat—Milton H. Hammond (anti) 2,691; C. H. Helweg (Lynch) 2,240; D. D. Murphy (Lynch) 2,004. Third District, 224 Precincts. Republican—J. J. Rachac, 5,749; H. L. Simons, 7,942; G. H.
