Stevenson Nomination for Governor In Doubt in First Illinois Primary
Chicago Aug 9 Accurate returns from the first Illinois primary show a tight race for the Republican gubernatorial nomination between Gov Charles S Deneen and former Gov Richard Yates with Chicago and Cook County favoring Deneen but state-wide results uncertain.

US senator endorsements between Hopkins and Foss are tightly divided with Foss slightly ahead in city and Stringer dominating Democratic endorsements. Voter interest ran high as Republicans cast a larger primary vote than Democrats.
