CARRELL LOOKS LIKE WINNER AS LEADER GOES TO PRESS BROWN LEADS MCINTOSH IN LEGISLATURE RACE Tucker Says He Will Make Public Statement Next Week Col. Dan Carrell, the Republican Administration candidate, is leading Charles Ryans, young Republican leader, and Judge L. D. Greene for the Republican nomination for Mayor as the Leader goes to press. Col. Carrell's lead over Mr. Ryans is 761 votes with 224 of the 568 precincts counted.

Petty, who is chairman of the Board of Election Commissioners, warned the tabulators about the slow count and started them working at night Wednesday. Brown Leads McIntowh: Tucker To Make Statement The only break in the Carrell-for-Mayor ticket as the Leader goes to press is that of Lee L. Brown, well known colored Deputy Sheriff, who is leading George R. McIntosh on the Carrell ticket for the nomination of Representative from the Fifty-eighth Legislative District. Brown's vote was 154; McIntosh 141. It looks as if Mr. Brown will get the nommination. C.
