LOYALTY BY mitchell
Koenig Says so Per Cent OF
Party Enrolment Was
Represented.
PROGRESSIVE VOTE SMALL
James A. Allen Nominated by In
dependence League-Substi-
tuition of Tammany Judi
cial Candidates Fails.

II was not until late last night that all
the returns from the primaries were filed
with the Board OF Elections. The tabula-
ton Of the figures will not be completed
before tomorrow. From the reports Of
the leaders I'm the various organizations
II was evident that the Republican vote
was greater than anticipated. considering
that there was no general fight.
The Progressive party vote was small.
but the percentage Of the total enrolment
cast was good. The Democratic vote was
extremely light but the leaders said no
effort was made to get the voters out.
The Independence League vote was al
most negligible.
Although returns Of the Independence
League were not compiled. both John !.
Hopper and James A. Allen. Of that or
ganzation. last night said their private
reports seemed TO show that the ticket as
designated was nominated. and that the
effort Of Mr.. Allen and others 10 obtain
the substitution Of some Of the Tammany
candidates failed. IT was reported at an
early hour yesterday morning that Judge
Warren ". Foster and Justice Robert l.
Luce probably had been substituted for
Charles c. Mott. jr.. and William l.. Ran
som for the Court Of General Sessions and
the City Court. respectively.
Samuel s. Koenig, president OF the Re
publican County Committee. was much
Gratihed over the result OF the Republi-
can primaries. lie sent the following tele-
gram, addressed TO the Custom House
10 John Purroy Mitchell:
81 want 10 congratulate YOU upon the
splendid Endorsement given you by the
enrolled Republicans OF New York Coun-
ty That over 1900 enrolled voters went
10 the polls. when there was no opposition
10 YOU In the primaries. is the best evi-
dence that the Republican organization
will give you its loyal and enthusiastic
support"
II really consider il remarkable said
Mr.. Koenig. in discussing the result.
that so many members Of our organiza-
ton came out when there was no fight.
OF the 500 enrolled Republicans IN the
county probably not moro than 5000
were able 20 vote. The others had
moved or were out Of town. We polied
fully one-third OF this number. II WAS
nearly % per cent OF the vote cast
in Manhattan and the Bronx when
Roosevelt and Taft fought II out at the
primaries year ago last March
The Republican vote in The Bronx was
about 100. while August Schwarzier said
the Progressives poled about 1000 OF
that number only about 10 contained the
name OF Douglas Matthewson written In
for Borough President. f. !. l.. Ralliris.
the regular dosignoo OF the Progrcssiyes.
got the remaining 30 votes.
IL was said yesterday that in the sixth
district some OF tho regular Democratic
election district captains had Progressive
watchers certificates Tuesday. Max
Stlndler. the Progressive leader Of the
district. formerly was a Tammany man.
There was a rumor that the Progressive
nominees for the Assembly and Board OF
Aldermen might refuse 10 run and that
the Democratic candidates would be sub
stituted for them by the Progressives.
James A. Allen. the Independence
League candidate for Mayor. was In
dignant yesterday because. as he said.
the election officials outside Of one or two
districts did not attach the pastors with
his name To the ballots as required by
law. His name had 10 go on pastors
because he was not designated until after
the ballots were printed. Mr.. Allen was
nominated all right. but he was annoyed
TO think that only a dozen or 50 mem
bers Of his organization had d chance TO
vote for him
