Governor Nellie Ross Defeated for Re-election in Wyo.
In Arizona the governor's race remained unsettled, with Governor Hunt, Democrat, holding a lead over E. S. Clark while Republicans refused to admit defeat; the report also lists congressional results in Wyoming, Arizona, New Mexico and Montana, where returns on repeal of the dry amendment were still incomplete.
Denver, Colo., Nov. 4. - (AP) - With two of the three hotly contested gubernatorial races in the Rocky Mountain states settled when Governor Nellie Tayloe Ross, Democrat, of Wyoming, conceded her defeat to Frank E. Emerson, Republican, and Governor Arthur T. Bennett, Democrat, of New Mexico, congratulated his Republican rival, R. C. Dill, on the latter's victory, interest centered tonight on Arizona, where Governor C. P. W. Hunt, Democrat, clung tenaciously to a lead over E. S. Clark.
Latest available figures showed Hunt with a majority of 413 in 437 complete and four incomplete precincts out of 480 in the state. Late today the Democratic state central committee declared that the votes yet to be counted could not overcome the lead, but Republicans refused to admit defeat.
Figures in Wyoming gave Emerson 34,707 and Ross 33,247 in 636 precincts out of 685. Wyoming also will return its Republican representative, Charles E. Winter, to congress in addition to electing a Republican state ticket.
Arizona will send two Democrats to congress, Carl Hayden, who defeated Senator Ralph H. Cameron, to the senate, and Louis Douglas to the lower house. New Mexico reelected Congressman John Morrow, Democrat.
In Montana Congressman Scott Leavitt, Republican, running in the Second District, clinched victory, while the prohibition repeal majority dropped off slightly on the face of scattering returns. With 334 precincts missing from the state's total of 1,511, the vote stood: 57,099 for repeal of the dry amendment, and 49,012 against. Congressman John Evans, Democrat, was re-elected in the First District.
