Wilson of the Town Police Court, who assessed a fine of $10. The second case where ballots were challenged oceurred in- Rockville. ‘Watchers for the Progressives charged that several ballots were so numbered by an election clerk that the identity of the persons who cast. them could be ascertained. Accordingly, Maurice Tal- bott, attorney to the election super- visors, ordered the election books sealed until after the ballots were counted and destroyed. The most overwhelming victory in the Montgomery primary election was scored by David J.- Lewis of Cumber- land, candidate for the Democratic nomination to the House of Represent- atives. He experienced no organization opposition, having the support of both otganization and Progressive forces. In 12 ecincts he rolled up a total of 2965 votes, as against 552 for Fuller Barnard, jr., also of Cumberland, who is opposing him for the nomination. Late this morning Progressive leaders sdmitted defeat and Maj. E. Brooke Lee, organization leaders forecast a ma- jority of 2,500 votes for the regular ticket with the exception of Mr. Hilton, who he predicted would run a thou- sand votes behind the other candi- dates. Other legislative candidates backed by the Lee organization were leading their opponents by decisive majorities and appeared sure to emerge victorious from the fight.

With it becoming apparent that Dr. Jones is the only Progressive who can hope to gain the nomination, interest centered around the senatorial fight as the returns slowly came in. Largest Majority at Home. Kensington, Dr. Jones’ home precinct, gave him his largest majority. There he ran 282 votes ahead of Mr. Hilton. Other precincts in which he was the winner included the first precinct of the Wheaton district, with a majority of 35 votes; the second Gaithersburg precinct, 80 votes, and the fourth pre- cinct of the Wh n_district, which included a portion of Takoma Park, 35 votes. Mr. Hilton ran strongest in the fifth ‘Wheaton precinct, located in Silver , where the residence of Maj. Lee 18 located and which the organiza- tion has long regarded as its stronghold. Here he had a 234 majority, while in Glen Echo, his next best precinct, the margin was 129. Other precincts which he carried and the majorities they gave him follow: Laytonsville, 74; second Rockville precinct, 9; Olney, 41; Brooke- ville, 20; sixth Wheaton, located in Ta- koma Park, 29, and seventh Wheaton, located in Silver Spring, 72. ‘Where Mr. Hilton is expected to score his most decisive victory is in the large precincts that comprise the larger por- of Bethesda and Silver Spring. are listed as the first Bethesda precinct and the second Wheaton pre- In the first, 1,236 ballots were while aj ately 800 persons the Silver Spring precinct. remainder of the ballots run - ct, with the exception of Ken- sington and Wheaton No. 1, which has not polled a considerable majority for the organization candidates, Battle a Stand-off.

In Rockville, things are about even, while preliminary re- ts from most of the other up-county incts show the vote going for the ofganization. The largest vote of any man on either ticket was received by Clagett Hilton, county commissioner from the Barnes- vilie-Poolesville district, with 4,240 bal- lots cast in his favor. Other organization candidates run- ming strongly were Lacy Shaw, county commissioner for the Wheaton district, 2,775; Preston B. Ray, clerk of the Cir- cuit Court, 2,714, and Stedman Pres- fit& candidate for State’'s attorney, The majority, which appears prob- ably for most of the organization candi- dates, is considerably less than the 4,000 margin which was predicted by Maj.
