May 17. "An Alter majority of 00,000 in Allegheny or Pinehet wins" was the word Alter sup porters received from narrlsburg to day. While the Alter men wired bad; that the 00,000 mark was assured the latest returns failed te bear out the claim. Tn 1IC3 districts In the county out of 1316 a recount gave Alter 00.003 and Pinehet 50.038, a scant lead of 40,865, which Is net believed te be enough te carry Alter through in the State, as the 153 missing districts In Allegheny County are net likely te In crease Alter's lead materially. While the Pittsburgh districts gave Alter big majerl ties, the rural districts reporting today showed a slight de crease in his vote as compared with the city returns. Jehn S. English, chairman of the Pinehet Western Committee, en hear ing the returns today declared : "Alter's lead of nreund .10.000 Mr. Pfnchet will cut teMO.OOO. as the miss Ing districts are country districts where Mr. Pinehet is running strong. Alse they arn smaller districts in which, even were the Alter fead maintained, his total would be smaller. Famous for its majorities since Abraham Lincoln first designated it "The State of Allegheny" ever fifty years age. Allegheny County today was the pivotal county of the State's sixty seven in the Republican gubernatorial situation. At the home of the Attorney General in Sprlngdale. nt 10 o'clock this morn ing, Mrs. Alter stated that. Mr. Alter was asleep and she did net care te dis turb him.
