 in 1924.

The democratic party. without workers. without an organization and without automobiles, lost every vot- ing district In the city to the repub- lican candidates yesterday but In the aggregate made a better showing 1924.
 A fraction less than SO per cent of the registered voters of the city went to the polls As party leaders had feared through the lifeless cam paign preceding election day, a new low mark was established for local voting.
 Hall and filling Out Front.
 A summary of tn selection shows Trumbull running slightly ahead of Bingham; Senator Hall and Judge filling in advance of their tickets, and Sheriff Dewey cut in every one of the six wards. Evidence that the fourth ward anti-organization forces of the republican party had carried out their threat to ditch" the G. o. P. in reprisal for lack of recogni- ton was seen in the reports coming from that district
 The republicans carried the city yesterday by 3,o26 Tn the state cleo ton of two years ago. with Hiram Bingham the gubernatorial candi date and John H. Trumbull running for lieutenant governor, the repub- licdns had a majority of 5,S13. The democratic vote in 1924 was 3.304, and yesterday 2,937 electors made known their preference for the nom- inees of that party. The republican vote in 1924 and 1926, respectively. was 9,117 and 6.S63. A decrease of 2,254 in republican support. and of 367 in dem ocratic vote. is indicated.
 Dewey Behind in All Wards
 The drive against Sheriff Dewey was strongest In the third ward, where he was cut 113 votes. Dewey ran behind his ticket in every one Of the six wards. In the first, he dropped S3 votes; In the second. 57; in the third, 117; in the fourth. 27; in the fifth. 14; in the sixth. 2s votes. The contemplated drive in the fifth ward did not material ize to any great extent: in fact that was the ward that cut the present sheriff the least
 In the fourth ward there was evidence that the organization forces of the republican party had carried out their threat. That ward returned the normal democratic vote while the difference between the balloting of this year and last was taken almost entirely from the republican side of the tally sheet. The fourth district reported 72 fewer democratic votes yesterday than in 1924. while the republicans showed a rduction of4S1.
 J. Edwin Brainard. candidate for lieutenant-governor. ran ahead of Governor Trumbull in every ward but the sixth, where the two were tied at 933. In the sixth ward Gahb and Dewey tied at o07 votes.
