One of the Most Excit-

REST OF THE VOTING
IS GREATLY IN DOUBT
Mccarthy and Connolly Running
Neck.and- Neck Race
in Count.

The town of Kearny, as usual, polled
a large Republican vote at the primary
held yesterday. The vote was SO heavy
that there are still two polling places
that will be unable to give results until
late this afternoon. They are the First
the Fourth ward. The other wards
turned In their figures this morning
after a tedious all-night count. Very
few Democratic votes were polled in
the town, and the Democrats who
sought nomination had no opposition.
The vote for the assembly nomination
cannot be decided until the W wards
that have not been heard from have
turned in their figures, as both poiled
heavy votes and the figures that are
to come from them will make material
difference.
Thomas Mccarthy, the New Idea cam
didate for sheriff, Is said to have
Kearny by a Safe majority, the wards
that have not been heard from show
him leading, while nearly all the others
gave him the bulk Of the votes for
s~hrievalty.
The fight for nomination for county
supervisor between Theodore Haber-
man and Peter Kessler is a warm one.
and cannot be decided until all votes
! are counted, the running for this nom-
ination is very close.
James Brierley and John ID. Crane,
aspirants for the nomination for the
office of coroner are keeping well to-
gether, its a case of ahead
then the other. Brierley shows up
pretty well in the wards that have
turned in, and he is doing fairly In the
First district Of the First ward, he is
hopelessly beaten in the Fourth ward,
however. The fight for this Office will
be One of the hottest on the ticket.
Brierley Is a Regular and Crane a New
Idea candidate.
From all appearances George W. Will
son and John w. Roche will be the can
didates named for freebooter. John L.
Howe has given Roche a good hght
for second honors, n he Will only be
DEBATED by a very few votes. That ne
will be DEBATED is conceded by the re-
suits shown by the wards that nave
completed the count.
AS predicted William B. Ross will be
the nominee for town clerk, he having
polled a heavy vote in each ward.
Gabriel Reid put up a very stif hgnt,
and it was near noon before 1t could
be positively announced that Ross
would win.
The fight for the collectorship noni-
nation between William Logan and
Frederick l.. Pierce has waxed warm
all the way through.
1t is thought that Pierce will come
out at the big end.
The voting for other offices in the
wards. is as follows: First ward. Hugh
Wilkie wilIin al probabilities best John
Macarthur; he has the majority In the
Second district, which has finished, and
is away ahead so far in the First dis
trict for.the nomination of councilman
David w. Reid was defeated for the
nomination for councilman by Thomas
Chamberlain the latter winning by a
vote of GAL to 297. After a hard fight
stephen Smack managed to best Frank
Dawson for the nomination for school
trustee, the vote being 1853 to 264.
In the Third ward Councilman Harry
h. Caithness, by a majority of six votes
defeated Daniel Bryan for the nomina-
ton for councilman. The vote was 264
TO zoo. IN LniS Wdiu MS. hAc "
Eakins, by a vote of 291 to I'll. de-
feated George McClintick for the nomi-
nation for school trustee,
In the Fourth ward, which ts still
counting, Alfred B. Anderson has a
good lead over John Leibfield for the
nomination for councilman, and it is
thought that the former will win. For
the nomination for school trustee John
A. Smith leads Conrad jacobson by a
fair margin and has Mrs. Louise Nc
Arthur practically beaten. At noon the
vote between Smith and Mrs. Macarthur
stood 1870 to rs in favor of Smith.
There is a fight for constable nomina-
ton in this ward between Edward l..
Mulligan and Benjamin w. Brown, the
latter at noon had a good lead over
his opponent.
There were almost 2.7oo votes polled
in the town, as follows:
First Ward--First district, 1914; Sec
ond district. Ala.
Second ward-First district, $40; Sec
ond district, 3S7.
Third Ward, 54S.
Fourth Ward, $40.
Mrs. Belle G. butcher made a fight
against Mrs. Eakins and Mrs. Nc
Arthur in an effort to have McClintock
elected. She had been promised a SUI
pervising position by McClintock, and
the fight among the women attracted
much attention.
