 How neat "double-crossing" stunt perpetrated on a city official,
 who was a candidate for reelection lat the primaries of last Tuesday, was revealed yesterday to a group of To- cal politicians.
 The man in question, on whom the hoax was worked, has a motor car, and the day before the primary was requested 10 allow it's use in bring ing voters 10 the polls. The men requesting the car explained that they wished 10 use it in working for a certain mayoralty candidate and several other candidates and, of course, were working for the donor himself He readily agreed to inc use of the car and obligingly filled tho tank with gasoline. Apparently all went merrily on primary day and the returns showed the donor of the car in the finals for the election of Oct 5.
 l'Hh llN' udN HIl'I NdTN me Hn- | plicity was discovered through 9 slip-up on the part Of the men who i, had borrowed tho motor car. In transporting thc voters on the pre-. vious day they had also instructed ih0m in the use of the voting ma chine by thn use of 8 dummy ma chine which contained the tahs | which had to be turned down on the regular machine to cast a vote. Ore Of the friends of the hoaxrd city of flcial found that tho tabs for a ccr- ] tain group of candidates moved | freely. while 'he tab for the official was screwed down so tightly |, could not he moved This must he mista k"," said tue l friend. and th"rrupOn picked uU tho i other dummy machine. which had | been misaiA in inc car. But the same | was true Of the second machine. The tab of tho city official in question could not be hudged. Further invcs- , i tigation revealed that inc dup!icily [ had been intended as several men | , Tuesday, were talked with and con i iirlnrd the impression slowly gaining 1 in the city officials mind that he had | been Nctinzed. some Of his friends confronted the hoaNprs on th" street and confirma- 'lon was apparent from the manner in which the accusation was taken. ! Because of this trick of primary day. ! falling out has occurred among certain political friends and others are laughing heartily at thc sylncss ! in which the city official loaned his | car 10 m>n who then went out and worked against him. The official { ; himself saw the humor Of the situ- !, ntion and enjoyed several good ! laughs al tho manner in which he | had been triched , Accident Victim Identified.
