 New Haven, April 7.-The city or Hartford and three boroughs i'll Con-' necticut elect officials at the polls to- day. Except in Hartford where tne Economic league enters into the sltu- alton as a new element. supporting tle democratic candidate for mayor, little general interest attaches to the con tests. The borough elections are i'll Greenwich. Litchfield and Bethel. ana in none of these do the con--$Eohs pre- sent any unusual aspects.
 In Hartford three candidates for mayor are in the field, but the struggle centers mainly about the republican, and democratic nominees, who are re- spectively William E. Dwight and Ig- na+ins A. Sullivan. Charles J. Sto- del heads the socialist labor ticket, but his following is not regarded as large. The strength of the vote which lhe Economic league can carry to the democratic candidate is the factor or uncertainty in the situation. It has been claimed that MT Sullivan would have the backing of laboring men to an extent heretofore unknown i'll an election in that city.
 Detroit, Mich, April 7.-City and township elections are being held in Michigan to-day and interest centers at Grand Rapids, where Mayor George R. Perry, democrat, is seeking re-elec- ton to a third term. Arthur R. Rood. who was nominated for the mayoralty by the republicans, died last Saturday from typhoid fever. with which he was stricken on the day of his nomination. His illness and death are said to have considerably increased the chance of Mayor Perry's re-elec- l tion. A strong fight has been made against Perry because of the water supply scandal for complicity in which former City Attorney Salisbury is serving a term in prison. The issues at stake in the various cities and town ships are purely local.
 Youngstown, O., April 7-Election day opened cloudy and dull, a heavy rain falling shortly after the polls opened. The indications point to a good republican vote.
 Cincinnati, O., April 7.-Municipal and township elections are held in Ohio to-day. At Cincinnati the only issue is on superior court judge, fo1 | NY T i< l incumbent and Howard Ferris, repub lican, are contestants. In most of the suburbs and other surrounding towns full tickets for mayor and other ofi cers are in the field. The weather is fair, but the voting early was light. l Toledo, O., April 7.-As Mayor Jones's terms does not expire for ono year, there is little general interest 1T the choice of members for the city
 council and school board.

 dications are that there will be a large
 vote boiled, the contest being on tht
 city council. No mayor is to be elect l ed here.
 Cleveland, O., April "A cold rair fell in this city throughout the early
 morning hours today, causing a ligh
 vote to be cast in most of the pre-
 cincts. A feature of the contest wa:
 the activity of the women voters, nor,
 than 15,000 of whom registered. Asid,
 from the interest manifested in tn,
 school directorship, the main fgh
 hinged on the election of the council
 men, Mayor Johnson having made !.
 strong fight against candidates not il
 sympathy with the three cent car far'
 movement
