 Elections Tonight

Republicans will go to the polls from o'clock until tonight for the purpose of voting on the Republican aldermanic candidates. In a major ity of the districts voting will be light, Town Chairman J. Alex H. Robinson declared today, who assigns elimina- tion of contests and primary fights in the various districts as the reaso1- for light balloting.
 Knapp Contest.
 Polling places have been designat- ed. A shapp contest is expected to be waged in the Sixth district, where John Fitzpatrick is opposing the re- nomination of Alderman Alfred J. Knapp. Mild contests in other dis stricts will probably be recorded: Apathy, said to infest the ranks of the Republicans for the Roraback frost is the cause of lack of en- thusiasm in the primaries.
 WiIls-Bryant Contest.
 William E. Wills, who was nomin- ateo py the Voters League as alder manic candidate to oppose Howard F. Bryant in the First district, an- nounced last night that he would contest the nomination of Bryant at tonfght's primaries. He declared that there is no feeling between him self and Alderman Bryant but that his friends have urged him to make the run.
