Row In the Third District.
In the association in this district there has long
been contest, and at one time three men each
claimed to be President OF the association. The
one having the largest following was James L. Cos
tello, and he was the ruling spirit at the primary
last evening, which was held at 160 Hester street.
Two tickets were run, one headed by George w.
Omstead and the other by James Fleming Cos.
teo was on both tickets-On the Omstcad ticket
for delegate to the Central Committee and ON the
Fleming ticket for First Vice President. The ad-
herents OF the candidates on both tickets were eX-
tremely disorderly and promiscuous fighting was
continually going on resulting in an indiscrminate
pummelllng OF each other, the desk on which the
ballot box was placed being literally covered with
the blood OF the cOmbatants. Finally the police
took possession OF the room where the balloting
was going on, excluding all but the telers and a
representative OF each party who were watching
the count. The counting OF the ballots commenced
at about nine O'Clock, although. under the call it
was the duty OF the inspectors to keep the polls
open until ten O'Clock, the disorder was so great
tiiat II was useless to attempt voting after nine
O'Clock. Costello, who was one OF the tellers an
nounced that the Olmstead ticket received twenty
nine votes and the Fleming ticket flty-three. On
being asked by a reporter whether these were all
the votes that had been cast he replied in the
affirmative The defeated party announced their
intention 10 contest the election, on the ground
that fair opportunity was not given up to the
time OF the closing OF the polls for all those vote
who desired to do so, and that the polls closed at
least one hour before the time set by the Central
Committee.
