PLAN TRIED IN TWO INSTANCES.
Although there win be few changes In the
membership Of the Republican County Execu-
tive Committee of this city a result of the
primary elections which were held last night,
there was one excellent outcome OF the recent
agitation in favor Of a change In the organize
ton of the party here. 1t was demonstrated De-
vond doubt that when the Republicans OF this
city become aroused and Interested tney WIN
come out and vote at the primaries. The pros
nact of contests in many Of the districts, to-
gather with the actual knowledge that there
were to be contests in other districts, served 10
bring out the largest vote that has been cast at
the Republican primaries in this city Tor many
years.
As a rule the elections, even where there were
contests passed off quietly and with no exhioi'
ton of bitterness, yet in two or three Oh the
Assembly Districts where the opposition mas
been unusually strong there was more or less
show of feeling This notably SO In the
IXth District, where the supporters OF Georgs
B. Deane who has been active In the poiitics
of the party and OF that part Of the city Tor
many years rallied to his standard In OPPOSE
ton to those who were on the side OF James A.
Cowie. the Republican candidate for the AS
sembly at the last election. The contest In tnis
district ended in the election Of the ticket
headed by Mr. Deane over Mr. Cowe by a large
majority Over 700 votes were polled here, next
to the largest number polled in any district IN
this city Mr.. Cowe's followers charge fraud
and threaten to make a further contest both
in the courts and in the County Committee
FRANK RAYMOND DEFEATED.
Frank Raymond the only leader up for
vindication who suffered defeat This ne re-
ceived at the hands Of the Republicans OF his
district led by Columbus o. Johnson. The pres
ence OF Police Captain Brooks secured fair
election in the district. About $50 votes were
cast and Mr. Johnson's ticket won by sixteen
majority.
There was hotly contested fight IN the
XXVIth Assembly District Hugh Whoriskey,
hacked by a large number OF Republicans, tried
10 overthrow Peter H. Mcdonald and 1t Is prob
able that he would have succeeded had 1t not
been for the action Of the inspectors OF election
who were not as rapid as they might have been
In taking the votes.
Richard NJ Hills the leader Of the xxIVth
Assembly District, was chosen again to lead the
district organization. General Charles II. L.
Collis led the opposition ticket The election
here however, carried on In friendiy
snirit The feature OF the election in the NXlss
Assembly District was the defeat or George w.
LYON for member Of the County Committee by
some of the active Republicans in the district
who thought that Mr.. Lyon had not paid enough
attention to the district to warrant being sens
to the County Committee from IT. Generas
Anson c. McCook was elected In his place.
In the XIth Assembly District the vote was
small, owing to the resignation OF some 2oo
members of the district organization yesterday
an account of the failure to harmonic the two
factions in the district.
General Michael Kerwin, the leader or the
XXVIIIth District, defeated Colonel I. C. camp
hell who contested the election with him. Inc
contest here while being vigorous In the ex-
treme. was not disgraced by any personal con-
| ficts Over 900 votes were cast
