FIELD MAY COMBINE.
Collins and His Opponents Run
ming a Close Race.
FULL LIST or CITY DELEGATES.
Equally Divided, With Some Doubtful
Trusting to Country Precincts-
All for Cleveland.

The result of the Democratic primaries,
80 far as the city precincts are concerned,
seems to be an even fight between Collins
and the field, with five doubtful votes.
These figures do not agree with the claims
Of the candidates, for Collins processes to
have twenty-nine or thirty delegates sure.
and only allows the field twenty-five, with
three doubtful. Allowing three of the
Seventh ward to Finch, the votes seem to
be divided thus: Collins y. Mcdonald -,
White 6, Finch 4, doubtful ). The anti
Collins men look to the country precincts
TO give them majority, but Collins
claims that two-thrds of the outside
delegates will be for him. including nearly
all from the mining camps. He also
claims to be the second choice of some of
the opposition delegates and expects that,
seeing they cannot carry their own man,
they will come to him. His supporters
ridicule the idea of a combine being able to
hold together all the anti-Collins delegates,
saying that, finding their own men out
voted, they will scatter in the exercise Of
their individual choice.
Very few country precincts were heard
from yesterday. Mr.. Collins received a
few scattering returns, all of which were
said to be in his favor, but he could not be
found, as he spent a large part Of the day
in strengthening his fences. He claims
three delegates from Slaughter.

ner Ccollinsl
w III. White tried to create diversion
against Collins on Saturday night by say
ing that the latter was q Hill man. The
latter emphaticaiIy asserted his fidelity
to Cleveland and his friends accused
the opposition of organizing the
Democratic Central Club to support Hill
at the instigation of George Hazard. This
imputation is denied by the combine,
whose supporters say that, whatever may
have been Hazards intention in organic
ing the club, it was impossible for him to
use 1t in aid OF Hills boom, and that that
eminent New York machinist could hardly
muster a corporals guard of adherents
among the members. The sum and sub
stance of the controversy is that, though
some OF the warehouses; have had leanings
TO Hill, the whole party Is now swearing
eternal fidelity TO Cleveland.
