CAST IN NEW HAVEN.
Walter Leigh Has Thirteen Delcgates--
C. It. Driscoll VIII Probably Go Into
the Convention With 81 Delegates--
Results In Various Wards-Vote Near.
Iy as Large as That Cast for Govcrnor,

The democratic primaries yesterday
afternoon and last evening held in
! the largest primary vote ever cast In
New Haven. A total Of nearly 5000
votes was cast or within about 800 Of
| the total vote cast for the democratic
candidate for governor in the last state
campaign. OF the seventy-six delegates
to the city convention chosen, thirteen
are for Walter Leigh for the mayoralty
nomination. Various estimates are
made as to the preferences OF the re-
naming sixty-slx delegates. Ona
thing is certain, they are opposed tc
Mr.. Leigh; anti-Leigh delegates, al
they were termed last night by tho
leading workers for all the candidates,
1t may be stated as fact that no
candidate has enough delegates vet I'd
secure the nomination, and the demos
cratic city convention will probably de-
velope into a hot contest.
Mr.. Leigh carried the Eighth, Ninth
and Fourteenth wards; Mr.. States carr
ried the Third, Fourth, Fifth and FIJI
teenth; Mr.. Driscoll the Sixth, Seventh
and Fourteenth; Mr.. Andrew the Tenth.
That the delegates chosen from these
wards stand as indicated is generally
conceded by all factions. AS to the ala
legiance of the delegates chosen in the
First, Fifth, Eleventh, Twelfth and
Thirteenth wards there are conficting
opinions. According to the figuring Of
one of the leaders in Mr.. Leigh's CAM
were counted the delegates from these
five wards stand as follows: First, ,Dris-
coll; Fifth, Driscoll; Eleventh, Driscoll;
Twelfth, Driscoll; Thirteenth, States 1.SS
Andrew J.. According to that computa-
tion the delegates would be divided az
follows: Driscoll 81, States 81, Leigh 10,
Andrew 5.
Another prominent democrat who has
opposed both Mr.. States and Mr.. Leigh.
one who worked in the interests of the
field against there two, sized up the del
egations to stand as follows: States 2S%f
Driscoll 27, Leigh 13, Andrew 6, Hamil-

ward delegation was divided, States ii,
Driscoll 2: the Fifth ward, States 2;E

In the Sixth ward So more votes were
cast than were cast for the democratiu
candidate for governor last fall.
Among the Incidents mentioned al
having occurred at the various ward
voting places Is the challenging OF
James N. States when he offered his
vote at the Fourth ward primary. Mr..
States, however, swore in his vote and
1T was accepted. Charges were made
in the Twelfth ward last night that Mr.
Hamilton withdrew his ticket, just be-
fore the primary opened, in favor of the
Driscoll ticket A Twelfth ward demo-
crat said last night that just before the
time for the opening of the primary Mr..
Hamilton appeared at the voting place
and after consultation with ex-Alder-
man Harhen and Patrick Scott is said
to have requested those who were. to
peddle his tickets and work in his inter-
ests to bend their efforts to securing
voters for the Driscoll ticket, stating
that he had Withdrawn, as he feared if
there were three tickets in the ward Mr..
Leigh would win.

$4,000 600, with a population averaging 1914
