voting almost solidly against him.
The Mayors running mates, President
Mahool OF the first branch of tho City
Council. and City Controller Thrift, can
didates for reelection, were classed az
"drys' and the nti-prohibttionists made
a dead set against them.
But the issue was made between the
State and the city organizations and the
State people won out as all tho State
officeholders and their supporters voted
solidly for Williams while many OF the
city ONCE holders were lukewarm and
had little heart in the fght. Many OF
them voted against Preston.
The Mayor. who has at times been
rather undiplomatic in bis methods, has
made many personal enemies in his two
terms and this also brought many to
vote against him.
In the councilmanic primaries the city
organization elected a majority Of itf
candidates.
The overwhelming sentiment in favor
of recreation on Sunday is reflected ir

of the Sunday recreation measures, who

WARRINGTON, April 1. - Secretary
Baker announced to-day that ne had
been forced to abandon hopes he has
entertained that . victory parade Of
three distinctive fighting divisions might
be arranged to take place in Washing
ton.
Many obstacles confront the depart
ment in arranging for divisional parades.
Even In the case Of the Twenty

which received an enthusiastic welcome
q week ago In New York city the diff
ncuities were great, although New York,
as the main port Of debarkation, has the
great facilities Tor such homecoming re-
views.
A computation Of the cost to the Gov
eminent Of the New York parade. In
Guiding the pay and subsistence Of tho
men alone for the period they were
held in the service In order to partici-
$4,000.
The department, however, was said
to be not 50 much interested in tho cost
as In the fact that the debarkAtiou
machinery was clogged UP and L. still
feeling tho strain. At one time there
were no accommodations for the troops
aboard four arriving steamers, due to
the holding OF the units OF the Twenty
seventh Division for the parade and the
resulting blocking Of demobiiisation ma
chinery.
Another element now arising is said to
be complaints from men In the Twenty
seventh Division from outside OF New
York State who were held three weeks
longer in service because OF the rcview.
Similar complaints from men fed into
the orig1nL divisions As replacementz
ana who have been retained at camps
far distant from their homes for pa
rades In which they have no local in.
