The Democrats and the Republicans are

Republican candidate for Mayor, was
elected by a majority Of more than 23OO.
II is admitted, however, that the result to-
morrow will be close.
Workers who were with Alfred I. du Pont
IN the fight against Henry A. du Pont for
United States Senator last November are
opposing the reelection Of Mayor Price and
insist he is the candidate OF the Republican n

League, supposed to be composed of labor
men and others who are dissatisfied with
the present Republican organization. is also
making every effort 10 defeat the Republ-
can candidate.
