Democratic and Republican joint pri-
maries were held yesterday from TO 8
p. m. There was no interest in the Re
publican primaries as the full ticket was
cut and dried. Interest centered in the
Democratic shrievalty contest-the cleo
tion of Seymour or Heavey delegates TO
the county convention. Mr.. Seymour

That means exactly what they have

the present system of voting at primaries

NOT to get square DEAL
s. DIR Heayey did not carry a single
ward in the city, and as far as could
be ascertained this morning he did not
carry single ward in the county,
though there were rumors that he had
carried the Fourth Ward in Hoboken
fGIarl's ward and Union Hill ward.
These rumors could not be verified. Mr..
Heaveg did not carry his own ward,
though he. got very fattering yore.
Seymour beat him in his own ward by
1906 votes. And it's great voting ward
satsthai.
According to the police returns Sey
ssnaeur got s,966 votes and Heavey 3,o52,
giving Seymour a majority in the city
Of 1914.
Mr.. Heavey, when interviewed this
morning, declared he had absolutely
nothing to say.
4 Returns were received last night at
Police Headquarters, at the City Clerks
office, in the City Hall, at the Robert
Davis Associations club house, and 1T
Leader Robert Davis's office in Mercer
street. At each of these places small
crowds were gathered. The first returns
received from the First and Second
iiSEards in this city showed that Seymour
was way on top and that the organiza-
tion hadswon hands down.
Header Davis was highly pleased with
) the result. He was not inclined this
morning to talk much, merely declaring
lsthateit was a little family row that
would. soon right itself.
