The count showed Vice President Richard M. Nixon made a slight gain but not enough, if the sampling holds true throughout the state, to overcome President-elect John F. Kennedy's 35,000 vote lead.

The tally was made in San Luis Obispo County. In the count regular votes cast last Tuesday, Nixon had 16,600 while Kennedyi had 13.726. a margin of 2.874 for! the GOP candidate. I The absentee count was of 1.975 ballots. Nixon was the winner of 1.070.

Kennedy took 833 and the remaining 72 absentees did not vote in the presidential contest Thus Nixon's net gain was 237. The important statistic was the fact that Nixon picked up only 54.2 per cent of the vote, That, even Republican leaders admit, is not enough of a margin statewide to edge out Kennedy for the state's 32 electoral votes. Demo crats claimed Nixon would have to get 60 per cent of the absentee vote to win. Obituary Found, Five Heirs To Get Estate Mississippi's Electors Play A Waiting Game JACKSON. Miss.
