on Tammany.

The primary election to-day Of dis
trict delegates to the national conven-
lions and members of the party state
committees promises to be quiet al
fair generally. The polls will open at
3 D. m. and close at 0 o'clock. There
are comparatively few contests for
delegates in any Of the parties through
out the state. Opposition delegates
have been designated by the Repubh-
cans in two Of the Congress districts
in BROOKLYN and in three districts in
Erie County. In each instance the or
ganization candidates are expected to
win.
The Democrats will have but one
contest for delegates. which is in the
+ 1st Congress District, where Ralph
I Pulitzer and Rowland Miles, the or
ganiZation candidates, are opposed Dy
/ independent designations. Here, 100
/ the organization men are expected 10
win. The Progressives have no con-
/ tests of note.
The contests are drawn closer be-
/ tween the candidate for members OF
the various state committees, but are
not attracting much attention in po-
/ litical circles at this time, as they
have merely local significance
+ Twentv-six contests for membership
on the Republican State Committee are
/ scheduled in various parts OF the
state. A state committeeman is chosen
/ from each Assembly district In the
/ different counties.
Erie Has Sharp Contest.
The sharpest contests in this respect
are in Erie County. where in all nine
Assembly districts opposition candl-
dates to the Greiner organization men
have been named. In this county IN
dependent candidates are opposing the
organization selections in the Sd, oth,
Sth. 18th and Goth Assembly districts.
Where the local contests involve the
leadership Of the Assembly district the
fur will fly. A good. old-fashioned
Bowery mix-up, involving the Sullivan
clan. will be the order OF the day in the
Sd Assembly District, where Harry
Perry is opposing Paddy Sullivan, the
brother Of the late Big Tim, for Demo-
broke with the Timothy d. Sullivan AS
ISOLATION and was recently ousted from
the leadership Of the district. The as
ISOLATION started the fireworks yester-
day. when some of its members ap-
pealed to Police Commissioner Woods,
charging police connivance and plan
TO intimidate the voters IN the district
The appeal TO the Commissioner was
made in the form Of a circular. signed
by the association, charging that
owing "to the close relationship exist
ing between one of the Deputy Police
Commissioners and a closely related
member of the opposing faction
posed to be Larry Mulligan, half
brother Of the late Big Tim-"there
will be some intimidation by members
of the Police Department, particularly
against members Of this organization,
from casting their votes for our candl-
dates"

Commissioner Woods forthwith wrote
the association, inviting its representa-
tives TO appear before him to-day at
10 a. m. and submit any evidence they
have that one of the deputy commits
sioners intends 70 improperly use his
official position. At an open meeting OF
+ the T. ID. S. Association, at its club
rooms, 207 Bowery, last night, Il. +.
Golden, chairman of the Democratic

/ several others would call upon Commits

conclusively that every arrangement
had been made, through the efforts OF a
