ago of Andrew Jacobs, a former State
Committeeman, on charge OF alleged
bribery In the interest OF the lAaim-
beer faction had the effect Of embittering
the controversy and injected considerable
bad blood in the primaries:
Laimbeer won by ma ority OF SO, scoring
584 to Ash for Hanton
The primary in the Tenth district was
a,sn one aided. ex-Police Commissioner
William f. Philips, who had long been
its Republican boss, having surrendered
control to Election Commissioner Rudolph
