Upon the best evidence obtainable up noon today, the election has resolved into contest between John M Donnely and Jasper McIevy, the Socialist candidate, with Coroner Wilson poor third, and Donney undoub~ edly in first place.
 The chief indications of the result are obtained fro1 the sentiment in the and especially from the ifestatons in the open air monday meetings, at which Candidates Donnelly and Mcevy well received while Candidate Wilson gets barely hearing and treated with cold uncordiaity.
 The workers of Bridgeport, those employed in the factories number 18o00 At least 85 per reg stered on the voting list
 Reports from merchants, clerks and business men of all classes to confirm the situation presented at the factories.
 Wilson's unpopularity is derived from a number of sources The business and manufacturing community is hostile to him. because of his alliance with the Warner King-Lavery group.
 The industrial community is opposed to him because of his secret nquess his decision in the railroad cases and his iailing of Motorman Peterson
 These particular causes for opposition are supple mened by the general belief that he sbseryen to the public service corporations that his election would wholesale bonding delay establishing municipal pas electric and water plants and that it would the construction of the scohoIs political asset of the War ner- King -Lavery machine [z
 There seems to be question but that Wilson will 1,5O0 votes behind the vote of the Republican cani date for governor year ago.
 This means that McLeyy will pass him. It means final complete and drastic repudiation of the political Ies ershp of lobbyists corruponsts and mercenares by of and for public service corporations.
 Mr. Donnely candidacy is growing daily stronger as the appreciation of his splendid record in office driven home to the voters His record upon labor is without bemsh and every voter who likes honest office is appealed to- to give recognition by his ballot to this sterling candidate and loyal citizen.
 Hundreds of conservative Republicans who realize that the fight is between the Democratic standard bearer John M. Donney, and the Socialist candidate will east their vote for Mr. Donney because they appreciate that unless they do the Socialist will be successful The Wilson candidacy is joke and the trend toward Doney is pronounced that Republicans who were in doubt to the outcome few days ago freely predicted today the election of MT. Donnely.
 John M. Donnelly stands before the people on his magnificent record public servant He mans collar and when he is elected mayor he will be found ing all the people, the implacable foe of the Warner King Lavery group who seek control of the city in fur erance of their selfish ends.
 Republicans not allied with the Warner-King inter- csts fockng to- Donnelly by the hundreds. Assured he of the united support of the Democratic party Mr. Donne1lys election is deemed certainty.
