Commission For
 Trenton voted
City Adopts New Form of Gov ernment-Advocated by Gov.
 Wilson-Vote 6,792 to 4,890

Trenton. N. J.. June 21-Trentor has adopted the commission form o1 government, abolishing the offices of Mayor and Common Council and plac- ing the whole of the government o1 the city, with the exception of the public schools, in the hands of five Commissioners to be elected within the next two months.
 Because of campaign unequaled in recent years for bitterness, an unusu- ally large vote was boiled, and inter- est in the contest continued unabat- ed until the result of the contest was announced. The vote as recorded last night, which will probably not vary more than two or three was 6,792 for and 4,S90 against. Only four of the fourteen wards of the city voted against the plan. Party lines were completely broken.
 The next move will be to nominate and elect the Commissioners and then the new form of government will be put into effect
 The new form of government is made possible by the Walsh act which was passed by the Legislature last Winter in spite of the opposition of political bosses in all parts of the State. Gov. Wilson was heartily in favor of the change, and not only supported the bill in the Legislature but also advocated 1t by speeches during the campaign here and else- where.
