ANN|STON ELECTION MAY RE CONTESTED Certain Alleged Irregulari-
 ties Being Probed ORE DEPOSITS GREAT Committee Meets This Week to Can vass Vote and Also to Decide Whether a Second Primary
 Will Re Necessary
ORE DEPOSITS GREAT

Anniston, August 4.-(Special)-That a contest may follow the result of Mon- days city democratic primary in Annis- ton was intimated today by the opponents of the administration ticket, who declare that there may be certain irregularities in the official call. which they are now Investigating.
 There is also considerable discussion over the question as to whether or not a second primary will be necessary. This will depend on the interpretation of the state democratic executive committed S ruling in regard to the state primary. Some claim that under this ruling a sec ond primary will not be necessary, while others dispute this contention and stand out for another election.
 In the meantime J. H. Burgess, the in- dependent candidate for mayor, is point ing with considerable satisfaction to the, fact that Mayor Wikle, his opponent. fell behind John F. Williams. candidate for president of the council, and J. T. Gard-I ner, Jr,, one of the candidates for alder man. in the total vote cast. MT. Burgess interprets this to mean that those who did not vote for Dr. Wikle will vote for him in the general election.
 It is argued by the friends of Dr. WiSle however, that if there had been opposition to him, his vote would have been larger than it is, as number of his friends did not go to the polls through lack of interest in the election
 The second primary has been called for next Monday. The city committee will meet in the meantime and formally can-. vass the vote cast Monday, and at thisx meeting it will be formally stated whether or not second primary is to be held.
 Much interest is manifested in the meet ing of the committee, it is considered likely that there will be a spirited con- test over the interpretation of the state committees ruling.
 The new members of the council nom- mated Monday are'J. T. Gardner. Jr..
