a1dRepubAczns 5 Sh0wJYild InfeYesf in First Primaries Delegates State Convention Said to Favor Webster Governor-Democratic Ward Caucuses Elect
 Delegates to City Convention.

Judging from first experience the new primary election rules regulating the method of nominating candidates for the local republican party com pare favorably with the antiquated caucus system employed up to this fall. A few more than 160 republi- cans took advantage of the privilege to exercise their suffrage at the prim- terday Two years ago under exactly the same conditions, an off year cleo tion with no special contests on, the republicans rallied only 148 to cau- GUS for nominating delegates to the several conventions. On the com- parison of these figures Chairman George w. Klett of the republican town committee bases his statement that the primaries worked out to his satisfaction. He estimated that ap- proximately 15O votes would be the average total.
 Voting at the ward primaries was carried on without any hitches. The task of avoiding entanglements in the yards of red tape connected with the new primary regulation fell upon the shoulders of the town committeeman who arranged for the first trial of the new system.
 Suzio Had Highest Vote.
 To Peter Suzio goes the honor of receiving the highest primary vote. In the sixth ward, where the number of ballots cast for each delegate was uniformly thirteen, three voters put a cross after MT. Suzios name and then concluded that they had done their full duty to the party. Thus 1t happened that MT. Suzio received 166 votes instead of 163, the number re- ceived by four of his colleagues who will go to the state convention. Vari- ations in the number of votes received by the different candidates in the sev- eral wards were so slight that they were practically negligible.
 A few minutes after o'clock the returns began to come in at Room All in the National Bank building, where the republicans have their headquarters. Chairman Klett was of ceremonies and Edward F. Hall, ex-town chairman, read off the i; list of votes on the certificates brought !! in by the moderators. Within twenty all the returns were in and Chairman Klett announced the results | as follows: 1

Delegates Favor Webster.
 It Is generally understood that at least three of the delegates to the state convention, namely, o. F. Curtis Mayor Quigley and ex-Senator Sloper are in favor of Speaker Morris c. Webster of Harwinton for governor MT. Curtis has been one of the most pronounced Webster supporters in the city. It is supposed that Representa- tives Crona and Mueller will also be lined up for the man who was their moderator in the last session of the lower house. MT. Suzio's preference for the gubernatorial nomination is not known.
 Members of the town committee, talking informally at headquarters last night, said that there appeared to be little chance of getting Ex- Mayor w. F. Henney of Hartford to accept the nomination for governor In view of his determination to keep out of the contest there appeared to be a unanimity of feeling among the local republicans in favor of New Britain's ex-mayor to head the ticket. says that Speaker Webster will make an excellent run in the rural districts and it is predicted that he would pull strong in the cities.
 Unusual Local Interest.
 Indications are that New Britain is to have an unprecedented prominence in the approaching state campaign. City Treasurer F. s. Chamberlain is assured of a nomination by exclamation as watch dog of the state treasury. Mayor George A. Quigley is being mentioned as a pos sible candidate for lieutenant -gover- nor as the Herald announced last evening. Now it appears that ex- Mayor Webster a man who formerly lived here and one who still has large business interests in this city is loom ing up as a candidate to head the ticket for the republicans. It is not an impossibility that three New. Brit ain men will figure in the conclave

Art of Sailing.

Shifting canvas so as to utilize the
blow of the wind for driving ships
upon the water Is one of the very
earliest of the arts through which
man has continued to utilize the
forces of nature. When steam power
came into use the sailing craft was
at the very highest stage of its de-
velopment. The stately four-master,
spreading a score of sheets to the
wind, was queen Of the waters a CEN
fury ago. With the multiplication OF
steam-driven ships and, within the
last decade or so, the amazing substi-
tuition of the internal combustion
gasoline engines for sails upon ves-
sells of the small-tonnage class raises
the query as to whether the sailors
craftsmanship is not soon to be num-
bered among the lost arts. II begins
to look as though the sailing ship and
the horse might go out together.
