from that ward, the friends, of some of the
unsuccessful aspirants for the nomination
are urging the committee to order another
primary to be held in the Third ward. 1t
will be remembered that on the returns OF
the judges of election Messrs. Paff, Brill,
Harrison, and Appich were named as hay-
ing received the highest vote polled but a
recount of the ballots placed Mr.. Smith in
the list of nominees in place of Mr.. Harri-
son. The latter's friends have. as stated in
The Times. induced him to enter the field
in the general election in opposition to the
four candidates declared by the committee
to have received a majority vote 1t is
said that some members of the committee
favor holding another primary in the Third
ward for councilmen, while others are op-
posed to the proposition unless the entire
ticket for all offices shall be included A
meeting of the committee was called for
tonight, but a quorum failed to appear at
the hour appointed. 1t is thought that the
committee will confirm their former action

the regular ticket to be voted at the May
election.
