PALO ALTO. Aug. s.-The primary

HAYES FACTION OF
REPUBLICAN PARTY
DEFEATS MACKENZIE

SAN JOSE. Aug. 9.1The Hayes fac
ton of the Republican party won an
overwhelming victory to-day at the
nr,maries in this city and county. The
main fight was in the four wards of
this city. Mackenzie. who for years
controlled San Jose politics, had
strong tickets in the field, but his
forces did not rally as they did pre-
yious to his defeat two years ago
Both the Hayes and Mackenzie fac
tions worked hard all day at the polls
and a heavy vote was cast for a pri-
mary. In the Third Ward, which COM
prises the Thirty-first Senatorial Dis
trict. represented by Louis Oneal. a
hard fight was made to prevent
OneaPs denomination, and the Hayes
faction won out. Oneal needed the
votes of the Third Ward delegation to
secure the nomination, and here the
Hayes party made their fight.
The First Ward. which has always
been Mackenzie stronghold, was car
ried nearly two to one by the Hayes
people In the Second Ward they
elected their ticket by 3S votes, and in
the Third Ward received a big major
ity. The Mackenzie faction carried
the Fourth Ward by 13 votes. This is
the only ward in the city which they
won.
The Hayes brothers will have COM
plete control of the county convention.
They will be able to name the Legisla-
tive ticket, comprising three Assembly
men and a Senator. They will also

DUNLAP LOSES FIGHT
FOR A SEAT IN UPPER
HOUSE OF LEGISLATURE

STOCKTON. Aug. 9.-Senator Gus
Muenter beat Assemblyman Frank f.
Dunlap to-day at the most stubbOrnly
contested primaries in the history OF
this city. The two were pitted in a
fight for the Republican nomination
for Senator from this district and un-
less the outside districts develop an
unexpected strength for Dunlap the
Assemblyman has lost his fight for a
seat in the upper house. Dunlap
gets the Fourth Ward delegation.
while Muenter delegations have been
selected from the First. Third and
Second.
This was the status Of the fight at
the conclusion of the ward meetings
last night, but such a determined ef-
fort was made to-day to defeat the
ward caucus nominees in the Third
and Second wards that the result was
uncertain up to the close OF the polls.
More than 500 votes were cast in the
Second Ward alone and the average
there for the victorious Muenter tick
ct appears to run from twenty to
twenty-five. The Fourth Ward went
uncOntested for Dunlap.
In the Third Ward the regular or

gin. but in the First the majority was

The primary election in San Fran

than the Thirty-fifth and Thirty-siXth-
The success Of the Eggers delegates
over the regulars in the Thirty-siXth

and his opponent on the regular ticket

The Thirty-hfth District. which, along
with the Thirty second. constitutes the
Nineteenth Senatorial District, went
against the organization, but ii is as
serted at party headquarters that the
result in the Thirty-fifth does not sig

State Senate.
The Republican vote throughout the
city was 90lO. This, while larger than
that cast by the Union Labor and
Democratic parties combined, fell lit

residence is at Sutter and Jones
Transfer Company, and John Cahill of
42O O'Farrell street. Hayes relies upon
a comparison of signatures to substan-
tiate his charge.
Matters were lively for a time yes
terday in Gavin McNab's home dis
trict, the Forty-fourth.. At the booth
on Pine street, near Dupont, two men
attempted to cast fraudulent votes, but
they were thrown out. One signed the
name of Bert Marison of 5221s Pine
street and the other gave the name of
w. H. Candee, both claiming to be
Democrats. The inspectors recognized
the would-be voters as impostors and
charged them with being such. The
suffers left the booth hurriedlv, no
effort being made to arrest them.
FIGHT OF REPUBLICANS.
In the Thirty sixth District the Dem
ocratic fight was largely eclipsed by
the battle between the Republican
forces headed by A. Ruef and those
lined UP by Supervisor Fred Eggers.
Charles Mayer, a saloonkeeper, direct
ed Ruef's men, while Eggers was aided
in his efforts to gain control of the dis
trict by Attorney H. N Beatty. If
there was bitterness in the contest it
did not show on the surface. Both fac
tions worked tirelessly, though good
naturedly, throughout the voting
hours.
The fight between the Republican or
ganization and the forces headed by
Chief Wharfinger r. ]. Welch, who
seeks to be renominated for State Sem
ator, was picturesque in the Thirty
second District and warm in the Thir-
ty-fifth District. The lame, the halt
and the blind from the City and Coun-
ty Hospital entered the fight. especially
in the Thirty-second, and were a po-
tent factor. Early in the day buggies
rented by Ruef's representatives began
to haul the unfortunates from the hos
pital to the polling places. At the
booths rival factions seized the suf-
ferers from maiades chronic and acute
and although Ruef paid all the freight
he did not get all the ballots. 1t is ad-
mitted, however, that from his hospital
exploit he was about forty votes to the
good when the days work was over.
Out in the Thirty-ninth District,
where the tottering inmates of the
Almshouse cast their ballots, all fac
tions were interested and active.

been purchased like sheep in past cam

SAN DIEGO, Aug. s.-Ths primary
election was held throughout this city
to-day under the State law. A similar
election was held by the Democrats
Throughout the Eightieth Assembly
District, which is the county outside
the city, and caucuses were held by the
Republicans throughout the country
precincts.
Republican delegates elected to the
State and Congressional conventions
are: F. w. Barnes. d. c. Colder Jr.,
F. w. Stearns, Carl /. Ferris, W. F.
Abrahams. Victor Z. Shaw, d. GOch-
enauer, Walter T. Blake from the city

gates are all for NJ. L. Ward for Con-
gress from the Eighth District
The Republican delegates elected to
the county convention are opposed to
instruction for any candidate for United
States Senator. Delegates to the State
convention are also noncOmmittaI as
to their preference for Senator.
Democratic delegates elected to the

The delegates elected to the county
conventions viii met in this city, the
Republicans on August 10 and the
Democrats on September s. Each
county convention will nominate As
semblymen from the Seventh-ninth and
Eightieth districts and Supervisors
from the First Second and Third dis
tricts. In the Seventy Assembly
District Republicans will probably re-
nominate F. W. Bardes OF Pacific
Beach. while the Democrats may direct
their votes to the nomination Of Pat
terson Spragg. In the Eightieth Dis
trict it seems likely that Percy A. John
son of Fall Brook will be named by the
Republicans, while the Democrats have
given no indication Of who may be their
candidate.

League Forces That Had as Their Purpose the Political
Annihiation of Gavin McNab Are Defeated in
Bitter Contest Waged in City

Gavin McNab, leader of the regular
or county committee forces of the Dem
ocratic party won victory at the
primary election yesterday over James
H. O'Brien, commander of the Demo-
cratic League. Owing to some con-
fusion in the returns of the Forty
fourth Assembly District the actual re-
suit may not be declared until this
afternoon The returns, however, in
dicate that McNab wins the Twenty
ninth, Thirtieth, Thirty-first, Thirty
second Thirty-third, Thirty fourth,
Thirty-flfth Thirty-ninth, Fortieth and
Forty-fourth Assembly districts, or SO
Of the 16S delegates to the local con-
vention. The regulars also win ma
jority of the delegates to the Fourth
and Fifth Congressional District con-
ventions. Gavin McNab asserts that
the victory of the regular organization
is complete and decisive.
The Democratic League, commonly
known as the Horses and Carts, wins
in the Twenty eighth, Thirty-sixth,
Thirty-seventh, Thirty eighth, Forty
first, Forty-second, Forty third and
Forty fifth Assembly districts. or 72
OF the 16S delegates. O'Brien, however,
does not admit defeat He contends
that the league will organize the
municipal convention. Charles ]. Heg-
gerty, the law partner of George A.
Knight, will be put in the field as the
leagues candidate for chairman. 1t is
claimed by the Horse and Cart leaders
that several delegates who were placed
on the organization ticket without their
knowledge or consent and whose names
werea not Cancelled, after request for
cancellation had been made, will give
their support to the Democratic League.
At O'Brien headquarters the Forty
fourth District is not conceded to Nc
Nab, hence the assertion that the
Horses and Carts will organize the con-
Yention.
All the signs point to a bitter and
party-wrecking fight Undoubtedly
O'Brien will be able to muster seventy
two delegates and vote that Number
solid" on every proposition introduced
or against any candidate proposed by
McNab.
The contest in the Democratic ranks
yesterday was marred by repeating and
fraudulent voting. Money was used to
corrupt voters. According to the gen
The San Francisco call., 1904-08-10

eral trend of reports the Horse and
Cart supporters resorted to the fraud
ulent practices. The opposition to Nc
Nab will not amount to much in the
State convention of the party The
chief concern of the O'Brien- Hearst
forces centered around the local con-
vention. The Democratic vote of 1888
was not as heavy as the party leaders
expected
According to the semi official re-
turns revised at a late hour with the
returns in Precinct 109, Ferty-fourth
District lacking, the regular Democrats
appear to have elected 102 delegates to
the State and district conventions and
1852 to the local convention. The Dem
ocratic League Aelects "a delegates to
the State and District conventions and
7014 delegates to the local convention.
These figures may be changed in the
official count
The Forty-fourth District has nine
delegates and the vote, excluding the
precinct yet to be counted, gives 242
votes to the regular Democratic ticket
and PA to the Horses and Carts, the
vote in each instance being the high
est cast for any one candidate.
In the Thirty fourth District the
regular Democrats elect seven dele
gates and the Horses and Carts two, to
the State convention. The regulars
elect eight delegates to the local con-
vention and Tanning (regular) and Sic
bert (Dem. League) polled a tie vote,
thus giving each a half vote in the con-
vention.
In the Fortv-third District the re1u-
lar Democrats elect two delegates to
the local convention and the League
elects six.

dolph was bitter one for a party pri-
mary in which there was hardly an
other contest. Behind Mitchell lined
up Guy c. Earl, university regent;
Charles r. Shook, attorney for the re-
gents; Charles H. Spear, State Harbor
Commissioner; Arthur H. Breed. CITY
Auditor; Mortimer Smith, Police Judge
and H. B. Mehrmann, Coroner; Frank

State Bank Commission: Frank c. Jor-
dan, clerk of the Supreme Court: 7 p
Cook. County Clerk; George Pierce
Chief Deputy County Clerk; Thomas
M. Robinson, Chief Deputy County AS
SCISSOR, and others. There was even an
effort made to drag Governor George
Z. Pardee into the fight. but the Gov
ernor quietly came to town last Sat
urday night and left town on SUNDAY
night and did not get into the SCRAP.
The contest to-day was centered in
the Fiftieth Assembly District. To this
section twenty-six delegates had been
apportloned and the two candidates
went to it with will and with a gem
eral understanding that the man who
got these delegates would win the resi-
OF the district. In this section the onlv
big vote of the county was polled and
tonight the figures for these twentv-
six delegates stood: Mitchell delegates
654; Randolph delegates, 529: MitchelPs
majority, 125.
The Assembly fight in the Forty
ninth District was very close-so close
In fact, that in one precinct the vote
was tie and the delegation will be
split between the two candidates. if it
should come to contest in the conven-
ton. Flynn carried his home precincts
by very large votes. but Burke was
able to carry the precincts that have
the larger number of delegates. Burke
gets six delegates in the Second Ward,
five delegates in the Fourth and four
in the Sixth. Flynn gets nine delegates
in the Third Ward, while the two are
tied for eight delegates in the Fourth
Ward, which would divide this delega-
ton, making nineteen votes for Burke
and thirteen for Flynn. The ticket in
this Assembly District was not a
blanket one, the delegates being ap-
portioned among the different voting
precincts.
The only other Republican contest
was in Alameda, where the fight was be-
tween j. Glenn Bates for the Assembly
and E. K. Taylor, who said that he was

among at least three. Election Com
missioner Leffingwell was notified and
when he arrived on the scene he dis
covered the tally sheet to be muddled
SO badly that it would be impossible to
strike a total from the precinct.
Lefnngwell ordered the ballot boxes
sealed UP, but the tally clerk objected
and refused to allow the Election Com
missioner to interfere. 1t looked like a
serious riot for few moments, but
three policemen finally arrived on the
scene and forcibly took the ballot boxes
away from the clerk.
They were sealed up and sent to the
headquarters of the Election Commits
sloners. The vote will be officially
counted before that body this after
noon, but until then the result of the
poll in the precinct will not be known.
The Horses and Carts claim a big ma
jority.
