DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.
Everything Harmonious Ex-
cept in the Third
District.
BYRNE-TUMULTY FRICTION
Hoboken Solid for Coyle and Tahen
The Delegates Elected.


the most noticeable of which was that oi
the Sixth precinct of the Third District,
which was caused by the bitter rivalry
between Henry Byrne, the present AS
semblyman, end James Tumulty. Ser
geant Kelly and a squad of policemen
were sent to this precinct, as it was an
ticipated that there would be some fric-
lion.
The election officers sat in little flee
in the front of the Street and Water De
partment stables in Wayne street. Be-
fore seven o'clock several hundred voters
had gathered in front of the stables. II
is claimed that Mr.. Byrne had marshaled
the great majority of these, but before
the voting commenced misunderstand-
ing took place among the election officers.
f, William Maxwell, an underkeeper at
Snake Hill. and John Dunn
represented Mr.. Byrne in the election
Board, and Street Superintendent
Improvements Patrick O'Connor repre-.
sented Candidate James Tumulty. Each
side brought forward @ box to be used as
an election box. Neither side would
yield, and in the squabble that followed

sight of the crowd outside the booth,
which remained orderly and allowed it.
self to be formed into two lines that
stretched a quarter of a block away.
The window was not raised and the
crowd outside became tired of waiting
and dispersed. Mr.. Byrne. who is a mem
ber of the County Committee, declared
the primary off. The affair is now in the
hands of the County Committee. and it is
intimated that neither Byrne nor Tum-
ulty will be nominated.
There was also hot contest in the
Eighth precinct of the Third district, and
charges of fraud were made The regular
Democratic candidates were:-To
County Convention. Michael Null
lery; to Assembly Convention,
cinct slated James Harrington aud
Charles Gellies as delegates, and made a
strong fight for them. One hundred and
thirty names were registered. but the
cigar box in which the ballots were
placed was found to.contain more ballots
fhan there were names on the registry.
Mullery and Cody received seventy
votes.
The returns were signed by the cleo
tion officers and with the ballot box were
given to Committeeman Thomas B.
O'Neiil. An unsuccessful attempt was
made to take the ballot box from O'Neill
and free fight would have occurred
:. had it not been for the presence of four
policemen. A protest is to be made
against Mullery's entering the conven-
ton.
ALL QUIET IN HoBoKEN.
The primaries in Hoboken passed off
quietly. In no precinct was there any
opposition to the regular ticket, and the
police had nothing to do but keep the line
of voters in order. In most of the wards
joint primaries were held. The delegates
elected favor Hudspeth for State Senator.
O'Neil for Surrogate, Bruggemann for
Director-at-Large, and Coyle and Tahen
for the Assembly in their respective dis
tricts.
In the Tenth district Councilman Cor
nelius j. Tahen, a popular young man,
will receive the Assembly nomination.
President Edward Russ. OF the Board of
Education, finding that he can not secure
the regular nomination will gracefully
re ire from the race. The Republicans
talk about nominating Arthur j. Seitz.
IN the Ninth Assembly district, Free
holder Coyle will receive the votes of the
entire delegation for the Assembly NOM
instion. This district is SO overwhelming
ly Democratic that the Republicans will
not name an opposition candidate, and
Coyle Will have Walkover.
