the persons to be imprisoned for a

other countries. These an other un-

into a state ov somethin' like an

something had to be done an he call

been banished were allowed to re-

The Primary in New York.
New York. March 26.-Victory for
organization delegates TO the Repub-
lican National Convention who were
opposed in seventeen Congressional
Districts of New York State at to-
days primaries by candidates named
by the Roosevelt supporters was
claimed an hour after the polls had
closed tonight by the State and coun-
! ~ organization.
The primary elections in this city,
where most OF the contests arose
were made chaotic by one of the
worst ballot mix-ups known for many
years and returns from the election
were considerably delayed.
| William Barnes, Jr., chairman OF
the Republican State Committee
| claimed at 10 o'clock that the oppo-
| sition "by the highest possible esti-
mate" would not win more than out
OF the 80 seats in the National Con
vention, which the State ih entitled
to. No statement on the result had
been issued from the Roosevelt
| headquarters up to two hours after
the polls closed
County Chairman Koeing claimed
victory in his own district by a vote
of $50 to 70 and declared that the
returns from about 10 per cent OF
the election district indicated a ra-
ito of voting of about to 1 against
the opposition. He claimed the cleo
ton of organization delegates in ev-
cry district.
The primaries opened at p. m
admist great confusion owing to the
delay in delivering the ballots in
many voting districts. There was
| further embarrassment because the
green ballots for the Democratic pri-
maries were delivered to many places
instead of the Republican pink ones
1t was we'll into the evening before
the mix-ups were straigtened out.
President Britt of the Board oil
| Elections declared that the delay was
due largely to the eleventh hour liti
| cation, which the Roosevelt commit
tee began over the position of dele
gates on the ballots, resulting in
court orders which handicapped the
printers.
After the polls had closed at nine
o'clock in some instances, only about
half an hour after they had opened
on account of the delay in the deliv
cry of ballots, Roosevelt supporter:
said that the mix up would lay the
ground for contest as to the validity
of the election.
1t was the first trial of the new
primary law and the working of il
had been looked to with special in
terest on this account Ballots il
