The Result of the Republican
Primary Election.
Frank Cuneo Attempts Suicide Because Of {
Dsrk-Eyed Italian Girl-ThOrp, the
Suspect, Out on Bail

The result yesterday Of the Alameda
County Republican primary election for
delegates to nominate a Congressional can
didate at the county convention tomorrow
was not a sweeping one for any Of the five
men in the race, though Whitney and Hill
born came out far ahead of the other three
Gibson, Waymire and Cannon.
The returns al ex-Judge Hilborn's head
quarters last night showed that In the First
Ward the unpledged ticket was elected; in
the Second Gibson was given majority Of
q over Cannon; in the Third the vote stood
Whitney 1913. Cannon "a, Gibson 80; in the
Fourth the combination ticket for Whitney
and Cannon was elected by majority of
Is; in the Fifth the independent ticket won
by 157. against 81 for Cannon; IN the Sixth
the Whitney delegates got 40 votes. against
los for the opposition; Hilborn swep! the
Seventh by 423 votes, against 90 for the
opposition.
Among the outside districts "a votes were
cast at Peralta in favor Of the HllbOsn dele
gates. At East Berkeley the unpledged
ticket was elected by 13c votes. This is con-
sidered to be in favor of W. r. Davis. The
outside districts generally went for HI b 70,
except Alameda, which was solid IN favor
of Waymire.
The fight in the Second Ward was be-
tween Gibson and Cannon only. By agree
mrnt Whitney had no ticket in this ward
and Cannon in return made no contest in
the Sixth. Gibson did not interfere with
HilbOrn in the Seventh, nor the latter with
Gibson in the Second.
The fight was between Whitney and Glib
son in the Third Ward. Hilborn concluding
10 take his chances with the delegates
elected.
In the Fourth Hilborn made an indie
pendent fight, Whitney and Cannon hav-
ing combined forces, and In the Sixth,
Whitney's stronghold, there was an opposi-
tion ticket, but the latter had 1t all his own
way.
The total number OF votes cast in the
wards was as follows: First Ward, 100;
Second, 100; Third. 245; Fourth, 290 /;
Fifth. ZIP; Sixth, 253; Seventh. 516
There was hard fight against Hllborn In
his own ward, the opposition consisting Of
combination by Whitney and Cannon.
The result shows general condemnation
of the unit rule. Cannon and Whitney
men were the strongest supporters of it, yet
it Is what defeated Cannon In his own
ward.
Chairman z. c. Chapman OF the County
Committee said last night that 1t cannot be
enforced at the convention under the cir
cumstanees. The votes Of the First, Sec
ond, Third. Fifth and Seventh wards
showed the strongest opposition TO It. AS
nearly all the outside districts are I'M
pledged, there promises TO be fun al the con-
vention
Eli Dennison of the railroad was strong
supporter OF Whitney at the polls. and the
IMPRESSION prevails among some of Whit
ney's opponents that the railroad is backing
him. The w. r. Davis men express their
confidence Of success at the convention put
tiEg much faith Ia the unpledged dele
gates.
