| Result OF tho Primaries Held I'm the city
| Yesterday Afternoon-A Light Vote
| Cast in Every Ward-The Delegates
Elscted-Only One Ticket Up in Some
Nards-City Convention 10 be Held
| Tonight.
AS a result of the democratic primar-
les held in New Haven yesterday for
| the purpose of electing delegates to the
city convention which will choose dele
| gates to the state convention, the So
called Pigott faction, which favors Hon.
James p. Pigott for delegate at large
to the national convention, will have a
large majority in the city convention.
The contest was between those demo-
Gratis who want Mr.. Pigott to go to the
national convention and those who are
favorable to Mr.. Troup for national del
egate. The delegates elected yesterday
were last night considered to be divided
as follows: For Pigott 4S, for Troup 25,
doubtful g. one in the First ward and
two in the Thirteenth
There were no contests in the First,
Third, Fourth, Eighth, Fourteenth and
Fifteenth wards and as a consequence
the vote in every ward even in those
in which two tickets were up, was
light, the heaviest vote being cast in
the Sixth, Seventh, Ninth, Eleventh and
Twelfth wards.

democratic town committee has issued
a call for the city convention to be held
in Turn hall this evening. The state
convention will be held in Waterbury
on June 7.

leher, Albert Widman; delegate-at-

delegate, and it is possible that only two
OF the three delegates will vote for Mr.
Pigott in the convention.
