FAIRBANKS, Nov. 17.—The In
noko district, including the precincts
of Yakotna, Cripple, Tolstoi and
Ophir, in which the Wickersham fol
lowers figured on gaining a plural
ity of at least fifty votes, has proved
a grievous disappointment to them.
The total returns from these four
precincts, received last night, gave
' Sulzer 8«5 votes and Wickersham 78.
The Kuskokwim precincts, yet to be
heard from, are sure to give Sulzer a
plurality. The Koyuknk precincts,
with probably 15o votes. are also
unreported vet, and are considered
i doubtful.
