Claims were made last night in some
of the wards in which the administra-

vote for the denomination of Mayor
Driscoll, and it was said in the Seventh
ward by some of those who have been
opposing the administration that three
delegates whose names appear on the
winning ticket would not vote for his
denomination. The same was said or
three delegates on the Seventh ward
ticket and three on the Twelfth ward
ticket.
