The widest sort Of confusion occurred
yesterday when the first official primary
was held in this city. The ballots were
not delivered until late in majority OF
the Assembly districts, and In some poll
ing places, particularly in the outlying
districts, no ballots were received at all
until the polls were closed.
1t was evident last night that the
Roosevelt managers were preparing 10
make the most out Of this mix-up over
the ballots and would contest the cleo
ton on the ground that many voters
had not had the opportunity of voting.
The Roosevelt managers instructed
their watchers in the various polling
places where the ballots were late to
take the names and addresses of those
who came and were about TO go away
again because the ballots had not ar
rived. They asked such men to make a
statement tat they had been unable 10

There was much speculation last night
as to Just what effect on the election OF
organization committees, as we'll as dele
gates to the national convention, the de-
lay In the ballots would have. In cases
where the ballots did not arrive at all
it was a question as to whether the COM
