KOENIG BEATS BROGAN

The organization designees won vir-
tually all along the line in the pri-
maries held throughout New York
State yesterday. The Republican and
Democratic machines had little trou-
BILE in holding their forces in line.
Under an amendment to the direct
primary law last year all Statewide
candidates and candidates for the Su
preme Court are to be selected at
State conventions and in Judiciary
conventions The delegates to these
conventions were chosen in the pri
maries, however. Members of the
State and county committees were
elected for another year.
In addition. there We're chosen at
the primaries candidates for Congress,
the State Senate and Assembly. and
fer all other local offices to be filled
this year.
Hearst Defeats.
In only two counties upstate will con-
tests for delegates TO the Democratic
State convention directly affect the
fight between William Randolph Hearst
and former Gov. Alfred f. Smith for
the GubernatoriaI nomination.
In Erie, where William j. Conners.
Hearst manager, put up a hot fight for
the delegates under the guise of their
being for Mayor Louis P. Fuhrmann. he
lost out all along the line. 1t was hard
blow for the Hearst forces, as Corners
| had boasted he would win 81 OF the 3S
delegates. The winner, Fitzgerald. ia
pledged to Smith.
The Hearst drive in Albany ended in
disaster With more than half the cleo
tion districts heard from at a late hour
Patrick H. McCabe had succeeded In get
ting not more than about three votes a
district for the Hearst delegates. Edwin
c. Corning, the organization leader. is
bitterly anti-Hearst. He will control
the delegation for Smith.
Wine and Beer Drowned.
In the 37th Senate District, includ-
ing the Counties of Jefferson and Os-
wego, Frank G. Puro. running on a wine
and beer platform, was a poor third in
the contest for the Republican nomina-
tion. Archie c. Ryder, the organiza-
u
days ago and the committee picked in
his place Willard s. Augsburg and asked
the voters to put his name in with past
ers In spite of this handicap he won
over Puro and Willard B. Van Allen,
third candidate.
The candidates Of the William Barnes
machine in Albany for Congress and the
Senate--the latter former Senator Henry
NJ Sage-won over the opposition.
In New York city the contest cover
ing the largest area was that of Edward
Shannon Brogan for one OF the two NOM
| nations for the Court of General Ses-
| sions in the Democratic primaries. His
contest was really against Judge Morris
Koenig. Republican. and brother of Sam
uel s. Koenlg, New York county leader
OF the Republican organization. AL
though many Democrats did not like the
Endorsement OF Republican the indica-
tions on incomplete returns were that
Koenig would defeat Brogan by three TO
one Justice Cornelius T. Collins also
was named by the Democrats for the
Court of General Sessions winning over
Brogan by more than three TO one.
Eight hundred election districts out OF
os5 gave Collins 25.997; Brogan, 5,t77.
and Koenig, 1898.
TWO brooklyn bOsses Lose.
There were upsets In the organization
slate In Brooklyn. where two OF the
Republican leaders were defeated by as
pirants who were elected TO succeed
them as members OF the State Commit
tee.
Assemblyman John r. Crews defeated
Reuben J.. Gledhill. the present leader
OF the Sixth Assembly district. With

eight Crews had about 1000 to 1904 for
Gledhln. Crews also pulled through Ar
thur Arrow. his candidate for the As
sembiy nomination. Arrow defeated
Benjamin Samilow by about 200 votes.
After seven annual attempts former
Sheriff Alfred 4. Hobley was successful
in winning the Republican leadership OF
the Fourth Assembly district from John
w. Gaynor. With only one district out
the vote stood: Hobley. 1866; Gaynor.
1914.

their candidate losing by about twenty
to one.
Louis L. Lavellc. who opposed Rep
resentative Martin c. Ansorge for re-
nomination in the Twenty-frst District,
was buried.
Handy Beats Ceretta.
The most startling result of the prl-
mary was that Joseph y. Handy. Demo-
orat. captured the Republican nomina-
ton for Congress In the Eleventh district
over Ralph Ceretta. the organization de-
signee. Both live In Staten Island. In
the Democratic primaries Handy made
poor showing against Representative
Daniel j. Riordan. who lives In the Man
haitian end OF the district. II is a Demo-
cratic district. but Handy may give Rior-
dan a fight In the election because OF
