two important figures in the play are.

Mr.. Birckert gave one of the very

PARTY MACHINES
CARRY PRIMARIES

NEW YORK, Sept. 29-The three
party machines were apparently sue
cessful in the first popular Statewide
primaries in New York yesterday, ac-
cording 10 today's returns.
The three regular candidates for the
Democratic, Republican and Progress
sive gubernatorial nominations, re-
spectively, were named as expected.
They are:
Democratic - Governor Martin H.
Glynn. with an estimated plurality of
over 10000 and a probable majority of
Murphy candidate.
Republican-District Attorney Charles
S. Whitman. with an estimated plurality
of about 5000 or $500. 4 margin that
his campaign managers say is sur
prisingly large. over Harvey ID. Hinman
and JOB f. Hedges, who ran in that
order
Gerard By $4,000.
ocressive-FredCricis N. davenport.
with a majority of about 2,@5o over ex-
Governor Sulzer. who, being urc0Ttested
for the Prohibition nomination, will be
a candidate az the regular election.
Sulzer today refused 10 admit defeat
saving he would win IF there Is an
honest count"
lanes W. Gerard appears to have won
the Democratic Senatorial nomination
by approximately 1890. with six coun-
ties still missing. Franklin D. Roose-
Welt was a fair second, and James ,.
McDonogh third.
The Republican Senatorial NOMINATION
NAV he decided onl : when the complete
returns are in. Ballots Tailed up to
o'clock this morning seemed to indi-
cate that unless upstate returns show
a reversal. James ". Wadsworth will
heat William NJ Calder, of Brooklyn
by a very small margin. Calder's great
strength in Brooklyn and New York,
resulting from the regular organization
hacking in those places, is chiefly re-
sponsible for the closeness of this race.
Bainbridge Colby. Progressive. had no
rival for the Senatorial nomination in
his party.
with returns slowly seeping in today.
it appears that less than 30 per cent of
the enrolled voters took advantage OF
the primaries. The Democratic vote,
even in New York. was not more than
20 per cent. while the Republican vote
was not more than one-third of the
party enrolment.
Count of the votes for candidates for
Congress is proceeding slowly. but IT
appears that twenty-nine of the pres
ent forty-three New York Congressman
have been renominated-a score of Dem
ocrats and nine Republicans. The
present delegation in Congress includes
thirty-two Democrats and eleven Re
publicans.
