Co|byites Lose in Essex but Fagan

The primaries, after warm contests
in every ward in the city, resulted in
victory for the republican machine
forces Of the delegates said to have
been pledged to vote for John Hanson
for a denomination for the board of
freeholders, but five were chosen, all
three in the second poll OF the first
ward and the two in the sec
ond poll of the third ward. The re-
suit seems to indicate the probable
nomination of William 7. Stacey for
the county board on the republican
primaries, based on his having seven
teen of the twenty-five delegates from
this city, it being understood that the
four sixth ward delegates would vote
with the majority from this city.
William Hoy beat Thomas Baker
for the republican nomination for
alderman in the second ward by 113
votes to 34
The democrats had only one con-
test. This was for the sixth ward
aldermanic nomination, and Dennis j.
Flynn defeated Frank x. Urbanski.
The warmest fight centered in the
first ward, the bailiwick of both Han
son and Haney. There was one chal-
lenge in the first poll, a supposed
democrat having made an effort to
= vote at the republican primary. Work
ers were out all afternoon and until
8 O'Clock and carriages and autos
were used to bring voters to the polls.
Both sides emphatically denied that
any money was used to procure votes.
George ]. Haney said that not cent
was used in that way and as to the
sending of $4,000 into the first ward
he said that such report was abso-
lutely untrue. Mr.. Haney was at the
first poll in the first ward during the
counting of the ballots. A score or
more of the leading republican work
ers enjoyed a celebration in the Pack
er House dining room after the re-
ports had come in.
In the official returns given below,
the names of the delegates pledged to
Hanson who were elected appear in
heavy type.
