In many of the precincts there were con-
tests for members of the County Com
mittee In every case the regular candi-
date was successful. The returns will be
sent to Chairman Michael L. Pagan, and
the figures will be announced in a day or
two.
Mr.. Davis said that the unusually large
number of votes polled last night indicat-
ed that the Democrats of the county were
much interested in the coming election,
and that one of the old time Democratic
majodrities may be looked for.
The Democratic primaries in the First,
Third. Fourth and Fifth wards last even
ing passed off very quietly. There was no
contests. The committeeman elected in
the downtown wards were:-First, Ber-
nard Lannon; Fourth, Charles H. Dayton,
and Fifth, Francis Dougherty.
There was a contest for member of the
County Committee from the Third district
of the Second ward between Joseph Fee
ley who was after reelection. and Peter
j. Kennedy, who wanted to succeed Fee
ley. Yesterday Committeeman Kelly, Muir
ray and Fealy, to simplify matters, de-
cided to hold a joint primary of their
three precincts, instead of holding sep
arate ones. Edward Murphy and John
Kent, watchers for Kennedy, protested.
They declared that according to primary
law, where there is a contest separate
precinct primaries must be held. The
committeeman paid no attention to them.
According to the count, POI ballots were
cast, 145 for Feeley and IS for Kennedy.
Kennelly's watchers declared that but 95
votes had been cast and said that they
would protest to the County Committee.
The Second ward committeeman elected
last night were.-Wi1liam Murray, First
precinct; Michael D. Kenny, Second pre-
cinct Joseph Feeley, Third precinct; An
thony D. Connolly, Sixth precinct; Mich
sci A. Egan, Seventh precinct; M. J. Cur
rie, Eighth precinct. The holdovers are:
A. ]. Guiton, Fourth precinct; Owen Duff
fly, Fifth precinct; John Kenny, Ninth
precinct.
The primaries in the Sixth, Eighth and
Mint hWards, passed off very quitely A
great number of votes were cast, which
proved beyond a doubt that the Demo-
Gratis are taking a decided interest in the
local election. There was but one con-
test in the three precincts. In the Seventh

ris beat John J. Barden for a place in
the County Committee.

AS expected the contest for the position
of committeeman was very close in the
First Precinct of the Seventh Ward last
night The race was between Joseph
Welch and Frank DAILY, the latter VIM
ming by one vote. The scene Of the con-
test was an unoccupied store near the
corner of Gates and Ocean avenues. The
primary board sat at a table in the far
side of the store and was protected by
a long counter running in 'front.' The bal
lot box was paste board bog which once
had held plug tobacco and was tied in the
middle with shoe string. When the
votes were counted they were transferred
