VOTERS MlSLED O
ERRORS IN "AD" COPY,
Many Fooled About Their Rightful Poll
ing Place in Thirteenth Ward.
Appeal to City Clerk.

Through an error in the advertise
ment of the polling places and boundary
lines of the second and third districts
of the Thirteenth Ward, considerable
confusion was caused at the polls in
the third district yesterday wien a
number of voters, really from the Sec
ond district, misled by the publication
of the district lines by the County
Board of Elections, went to the polls
only to find that they were out of their
district
The error in a number of cases was
not discovered until their men had
voted, and then the question arose as
to whether the votes would be thrown
out, as it was clearly an error and pre-
cluded the possibility of having the
men arrested for illegal registration.
City Clerk Connolly was communi
Gated with, and it was decided that the
only thing to 10 was to direct the
other voters to go to their right places.
1t was late in the afternoon when the
attention of John c. Groel, Democratic
leader of the second district, was called
to the matter. He at once jumped into
his automobile and drove it to the Court
| House TO see the members of the
County Board of Elections. As pub
lished, the description of the second
district placed the line between it and
the third district, in Grove street
whereas the line is really 100 feet west
of Twentieth street.
The error was due to the publica
ton of the lines set out in the first pro
posed redistricting of the TIE ward
The Common Council last Decembe
passed an ordinance placing The distric
line between The second and Il ird dis
tricts in the centre of Grove stree
and when it was pointed out that tn
redistricting placed part of two con
gressional districts in one polling place
the line was changed to 100 fe=t nortl
of Second street.

ElVIN w. CRANE Is
BEATEN BY SULLIVAN.
Democratic State Delegate Fight in
Third District of Second Ward
Was a Lively One.

There was n Democratic fight in the
third district of the Secord Ward, where
County Counsel Elvin w. Crane was seek
ing nomination for delegate to the State
convention against John H.. Sullivan. Sui
livan won by the vote of 92 to II. This
fight was second In Importance only
to the Fourth Ward light. Both sides
lined up for a duel that meant much to
either.
Both Mr.. Sullivan and County Counsel
Crane were on the job late and early dur
ing the eight hours of the struggle for
supremacy. When the result was an
nounced after IL o'clock there was a sigh
of relief from the Sullivan supporters and
the Crane men were sadly disappointed.
This district had the only contest in the
ward. Ever since Mr.. Sullivan filed the
petition which put him In the race and
the Crane men discovered it only to put
an opposition ticket in the field. both men
were waiting for primary day. AS soon
as the polls were open there was n crowd
ready TO vote. and before long it was
seen that the Sullivan supporters were
not to be despis-d. The supporters of
both factions got busy with the inmates
in the lodging houses in that district. II
is estimated that fifty or sixty of these
men were gathered in by both factions

polling place every now and then during
the afternoon. while Sullivan was at hand
at all times. The vote kept getting heavier
and there was much doubt as to just how
things were going. although it was freely
rumored that Sullivan was having al
the peter of a tight race. When the vot'
reached more than $50 the Crane men go
very dubious about the chances of theii
favorite, The County Counsel shortly
after 6 o'clock took up his stand in thu
booth and watched the remainder of thu
voters cast tsei- ballots. Sullivan was oil
hand, too, and let nothing get by. TIL
challenges were viewed closely and it 1
certain that neither the Craneites nor tn
Sullivanites allowed a vote that was no
right.
Much interest in Democratic circles cen
tired in this fight. because 1t was the cas-
of a small district leader bucking tn
County Counsel, who incidentally wa
some years ago a candidate for the Gov
bernorship of New Jersey.
The voting was heavy only in Demo
cratic circles In this district. The Regula
Republicans polled forty-seven votes an
the New idea men ten. There were fou
ballots thrown out as marked. The tots
registration was 20.

O'CONNELL VICTOR IN

Several Districts Slow in Sending in Re-

With three districts to be heard from
in the three-cornered fight for the nomina-

Ward, the result was in doubt until this
afternoon. when it was announced that
Harry B.. O'Connell, who opposed the
Regulars candidate, had won out.
Returns from seven districts gave O'Con-

AIS votes for Charles w. Beardsley, the

Neither of Leading Candi-
dates in Either of the
Parties Eliminated.
CHILD OR KATZENBACH ?
Democratic Delegates in Nearly
All Counties Are Unpledged,
and May Nominate Either
Essex Man, Trentonian
or "BIack Horse"

From the reports throughout the state OF
the primaries yesterday it would sem that
the result has eliminated neither OF the
leading candidates of either party for
gubernatorial nomination.
For the Democratic nomination the dele
gates are almost without exception I'M
nledged. Although the reports from many
countries say the Democratic delegates are
FOR Katzenbach,' that does not mean
that they are instructed for the former
Mavor of Trenton. nor does 1t necessarily
mean that he is their first choice. RATHER
1t can be taken to mean that they are
Regulars, and are Katzenbaeh men only
because and insofar as he Is the only
avowed and active candidate TO seek their
support, former Judge Child, of Essex
County, having been content to remain a
passive candidate.
Many of these delegations are known to
be as friendly to Judge Child as they are
TO Mr.. K~atzenbach, and, with the solid
backing of Essex. there are many who be-
lieve that Judge Child is much nearer the
nomination than the Mercer County man,
who apparently has so much strength.
In a convention composed of an unin-
structed delegation many things are pos
sible. and it may yet be that neither
Judge Child or Mr.. Katzenbach will be
nominated by the Democrats when they
meet at Trenton mex. Tuesday.
The Republican situation is equally as
uncertain as the Democratic. Leaving out
the partial New Idea victories in Essex
and Hudson Counties the apparent strength
of the Colbyites. as shown by the dis
patches from all over the State, is small,
but, as in the Democratic primaries, most
of the delegates to the Republican State
convention were elected unpledged to any
one. The New Idea men made fight in
but few counties, but their hopes are
based on getting support from uninstruct-
ed delegations.

COLBYITES MADE NO
FIGHT IN BURLINGTON.
Republican State Delegates Divided Be-
tween Fort and Collins-Demo-
Gratis Favor Katzenbach.

BURLINGTON, Sept. 1.-Harmony
among the Democrats and but a few list
less contests for the minor offices in the
Republican ranks made the primaries I'M
usually quiet In the city and county. The
change was most marked from last year,
when the Colbyites put up a stiff fight
against the Republican county machine,
This year the fight has all gone out of the
reformers and but a few scattered fractional
contests enlivened the primaries.
Sentiment In the county seems to favor
Katzenbach as the Democratic candidate
for Governor. The Republicans are about
equally divided between Fort and Collins.
Griffith w. Lewis, of this city, and Johr
b. Trick, OF Vincentown, will be named
again for the Assembly by the Republicans
without opposition.
The Democrats have not agreed upor
their candidates.

BRIDGETON. Sept. 1.-THE primaries
were not much more than a matter of form
here, as there were practically no contests.
The Democrats did not name any ward
officers in the Second Ward.
The Cumberland County delegates elected
to the conventions are unpledged, but 1t is
understood among them that President OF
unanimously renominated. There Is the
same understanding regarding the renomi-
nation of Assemblyman B. Frank Buck.
The sentiment. for Frank B. Potter Is not
so strong, but as the delegates ave not
pledged their support to any one else he
is pretty sure to secure a denomination.
The delegates to State convention have moi
united upon any nominee for Governor, but
the sentiment for Justice ]. Franklin Fort
Is pretty strong.

LONG BRANCH, Sept. 11.-There has
been no end of contention in the primaries
in Long Branch this year, and the centre
Of the contest rested in the choice of the
delegates to the State Democratic conven-
tion.
In this city three of the six wards were
worked for all they were worth for the
Katzenbach candidates for the convention.
All afternoon and evening his friends were
going about, pleading with the voters as
they entered the polling places. Every
possible effort was made to carry the city
as they well knew that the running of this
place would count largely for them in the
county influence.
Only W of the men supposed to be Tor
him were nominated. They were John
DAILY in the Second Ward and Theodore z.
johnson in the Fifth. The other four men
are all for another man, but 1t is impossible
to get them to make any statement. Inc
Katzenbach supporters claim the county.
Sentiment, however. seems to be ali in
of Judge Child of Essex County. II
is probable that he will receive the In
dorsement of the Monmouth delegates. who
would be solidly for former Senator Henry
S. Terhune, IL he would permit the use
of his name. which he has refused to do.
