By Special Correspondent

on opectut correspondent
OUT AMBOY, Sept. 24:-But
little interest was taken in the pri-
mary election in this city yesterday.
There being no local contests the day
seemed to lack something for the
local voters. In several instances
there were no nominations for Office
and the names of different gentlemen
were written in" The rearrange-
ment of the polling places made 1t
hard for the men to find their pro-
per voting place. Owing to the light
vote of yesterday all eight polling
places had their returns in early.
The local vote was distributed as
follows: Nugent 25S, Edwards 225,
McDermit "a; Scully 26 Estate COM
mitteeman); Cannon 459 County
clerk); Toolin All, DeVoe 1928, Wight
358, jolly PAL (assembly); Bird &c,

William Birmingham was the only
candidate in either party for nomi-
nation as justice of the peace. All
executive committeeman were elect
ed, there being no opposition in
either case.
There was quite a crowd of men
at the city hall last night to receive
the returns, bringing back to the old
timers memories of days gone by.
Congressman Thomas J. Scully was
in the city and kept in close touch
with the situation. 1t must have been
quite a disappointment to him to
have his own home town give Nugent
a majority of thirty-three.
