Gerald P. Nye today increased his lead over Gov. William H. Langer in their contest for the Republican nominatipn for U. S.

Senator from North Dakota. Unofficial tabulation from 893 of the state's ,2,260 precincts, reporting from yesterday's primary election, gave Nye 51,735 and Langer 34,852. While considerably less than half the total precincts of the state had been reported, it was believed those already counted represented approximately half total vote cast In the primary. The bulk of the uncounted votes were in less populous areas of the state. While Langer forces would not concede defeat, most observers saw slight hope that the governor even if he showed expected strength In the rural section, could overcome Nye's lead.
