are contests among republicans for leader

Except for the struggle in Kings county,
which may mean the downfall of Senator
McCarren and the triumph in that bor-

Tammany Hall. there is also little of gen.
eral interest that is foreshadowed for the
democratic primaries. either in that coun-
ty or this, but Queens county will have a

dent, Joseph Cassidy. to regain control
from Sheriff Herbert S. Harvey. The polls
will be open from ) o'clock this afternoon
