Waged by Democrats

With more than half the election
districts accounted for at l o'clock
this morning the figures indicate
that the regular organization candi-
dates for delegates large in the
Republican primaries were elected
down the line by vote Of about
8 10 ! over William NJ. Bennett, the
Johnson candidate.
In the 18th Congressional District,
where Miss Mabel Choate, daughter
Of the late Joseph H. Choate, and
Julian S. Myrick, backed by the sup
porters of Herbert Hoover, were
candidates for delegates to the Chi
cago convention, the regular candi-
oates, Colonel Herbert Parsons and
Albert j. Berwin, defeated their op-
points by about to l. The figures
for fifty election districts out of the
116 in the district gave Choate, S75;
Myrick, 837; Berwin, 2,314; Par
sons, 2,252.
At 1:15 this morning. with 2.166
election districts out of 2,571 in, the
vote of delegates at large stood; Miller,
5s.S41; Wadsworth, 59.46s; Calder, g.
o7s; Thompson, 57,6oS; Bennett, 21,407.
In Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens and
Richmond, the story was pretty much
the same, the organization candidates
easily winning over the johnson candi-
dates.
Bennett averaged about two votes
in the 270 election districts in Queens
leaders last night. The total vote cast
IN the borough was trife over 5000,
against an enrolment of $4,000. In
some of the districts Bennett received
as high as nine votes, but one, two or
three was the usual number cast for
him.
The interest in the Democratic pri-
maries was small, there being less than
$4,000 votes cast on an enrolment Of
$4,000. There were no contests among
the Democrats
