Changsha, Sept. 18, In the election for a Civil Governor.
65 out of the 75 counties of the province have so got their results reported at headquarters and the voting now runs, Chao Hong-ti 1,410; T'an Yen-k'aj 768; Hsiung Hsi-ling 86; Li Han-cheng 8; Sung Ho-keng 6; 'tien Ying-chao 3.
Tu these returns there is one matter which is of considerable interest to the Western student of Chinese politics. Two counties have been induced to reconsider to reconsider their first vote and to take a second with widely cliff. ering results. When first the numbers for Tan Yen-k'ai's native country. of Chaling were reported, not a single vote had been reckon-for him; on the other hand, in Hengshan, Chao Hong-ti's native country, Chao received none. This looked so bad, that well meaning friends interfered with better looking results on both sides. In the above numbers, Chaling counts 31 for T'an and only three for Chao; while Hengshan counts 38 for Chao and only 10 for T'an.
