O. HAYWARD (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) Washington. May 21.

Opposi tion to the measure is consolidating rapidly. Only a fear that its defeat will eliminate all chances of farmer rrelief before Jtine 7, the hoped-for date ot adjournment of toe session, is holding many congressmen to its sup port. Congressman Rainey, democrat of Illinois, brought forth a substitute bill today which offers only aid to the wheat farmers, flour millers and packers of pork products. Debate on the fnrmer-relfef legisla tion will be resumed tomorrow and continued until Saturday, when it is hoped a final vote on the bill will be possible. Many witnesses to the bill are being prepared. Farm bloc lead ers are campaigning among city con gr ess men for support.

Another close con test was between Henry Waldo Cos and 8. D. Peterson for the sevonth place among the delegates at large to the republican national conven tion. Aside from these two con tests the results ot the primaries, held last Friday, were beyond a"bt. , The vote of Miller stands lo.m. Btraysr's vote Is lO.JSS, giving Mil ler the slender margin of 143. The missing precincts In the democratic senatorial contest were as follows: Clatsop. 1; Coos, 42: Crook, 4; Curry, 1; Qllllam. 1; Ornnt. 4: ackson, S: Lsne, 7, and Morrow, t. The Curry county pre cincts represent all the votes In that county cast In the democratic primaries, no report having, come out from that remote section. Most of the missing precincts are In tho far reacbos of the state, where the vote Is small and whers the demo crats are few. It will probably re oulre not only the complete but the official count aa well lo determine whether Miller or Htrayer Is tho ultimata winner. The contest has the same sort of neck and neck finish that marked the republican ruhernatnrlal race two years s between lien Olcott and Charles Hall.
