I. (IP)' The summer White House today denied a published report that Sherman Adams, target of hot fire in the Bernard Goldfine case, has resigned as President Eisenhowers chief aide. It is just not true, press secretary James C. Hagerty said in comment on a resignation story in the Laconia (N. Evening Citi-ben.

Henney. Portage, went on win the congressional seat as Democrat, did his party poll more votes in the primary election than the GOP. The incumbent.

S. Senate: DEMOCRATS 247,013 REPUBLICANS 215,594 In the 1954 and 1956 primaries Democrats polled only 40 per cent of the total votes cast. Before that, they had much lower figures, hitting a low for recent years of 14 per cent in 1946. There were more votes cast for the office of U. S.

senator than for any other office, and this vote reflects the total voting in each party, since in the primary the voter may vote only in one party column. U. S. Sen. William Proxmire overwhelmed his two Democratic opponents to win his partys nomination for a full six-year term.

Proxmire pulled an upset last August when he defeated former Gov. Walter J. Kohler, for the unexpired term of the late U. S. Sen.

Gaylord Nelson, Madison, Tuesday came close to equalling the primary vote for the Republican candidate. With 3,328 of 3,398 precincts Haas won the Democratic nomination by a 3,753 plurality in a four-way race in which Democrats polled a total of 19,056 votes.

Incumbent Fred Goff, who has held the office of sheriff since appointment by Gov. Thomson in 1957 and was unopposed for the Republican nomination, polled only 8,496 votes, less than Haas received in the four-man Democratic race. REPUBLICAN TEWES 29,921 DEMOCRAT KASTENMEIER 29,692 AMLIE 19,345 In the 1956 primary Kastenmeier polled 24,552, but the combined Republican vote for Tewes and two other GOP candidates totaled 55,841.

Steinle, Milwaukee, a forma: State Supreme Court justice, was unopposed. Democrats showed unusual strength in metropolitan areas, and while rural Wisconsin still favored Republican candidates, support was not as strong as usual. The controversy over Adams flared last June when House committee investigators brought out that the wiry, white-haired presidential aide had accepted costly gifts and favors from Gola-fine at a time when the Boston industrialist was in trouble before government regulatory agencies. Hagerty met with newsmen at Eisenhower's vacation headquarters two and a half hours after he originally had arranged a news conference.

Vernon W. Thomson, Richland Center. The vote was: THOMSON 234.571 NELSON 227,149 The significance of Nelsons vote is dramatized when it is considered that in the 1956 primary Thomson outpolled William E. Proxmire, Blooming Grove by 134,967 votes, in 1954 Kohler outvoted Proxmire' by 104,271 votes and in 1852 Kohler drew 490,949 more votes than Proxmire.
