a statement made by him last night.

volume from all sections of the
State, telling of irregularities or 9TH

primary election" said Mr.. Brew

estimate of the secretary of State
that there was apparently a short

mitted to vote without enrolling,
which was clearly contrary to the
law, or were permitted to change
their enrolment, which was clear
ly contrary to the law, or were per-

the day of the primary. There are
also reported cases where Demo-
cratic ballots had the name of q

were counted in favor of this can

have been given the names of a list
of people who have stated since the
primary that they voted for me, in
response to direct questions. This
list Is in excess Of the number of
votes recorded for me in this ward.
In other cases there are reports of
homemade ballots being used.
Il am trying to give careful and
thorough consideration to the inter-
ests and the rights Of the Republi-
can party and Of the 1900 men,
voted for me in the primaries. I
am also giving careful consideration
to the principles which it was gen.
orally agreed were at stake in this
primary, and for the sake of which
so many people have been willing
to sacrifice so much.
Because of the magnitude of the
vote and the pressure under which
the tabulation of the vote naturally
takes place, there have been many
suggestions that a recount should be
called for.
Before taking any step 7 shall
consider the entire situation very
carefully. I have sought and well

1T Is OF course obvious that the
Democratic party is very much
pleased with the difficulty which the
participation of Democrats in the
Republican primary has occasioned.
1t is an extremely regrettable situa-
ton.
II have for long time opposed
permitting enrolment on the day of
the primaries. This would have OBJ

been in effect.
Ten days before the primary I
called at the Office of the secretary
Of State especially to report to him

il the women have their way, they

Women leaders base their claim for
recognition on the fact that they
have almost forty percent more rep

they ever had before. In 1920 there
were 298 women in the convention.
There were 10 in 1916 and only two

this year will be much larger, 1t Is
said.
Other than tho fight for chairman
ships. there promises to be no out
standing features of the women's ac-
tivities. They are not fighting as a
unit for any plank, and according to
leaders they are carefully avoiding

clashed at the Republican, are here in
