City Clerk A. L. Thompson has call "d upon the corporation counsel 10 advise him as to who is 10 be chair man Of the board. The question comes about because oe the fact that Peterson was not on the ticket as candidate for first selectman.
 In the first ward Alderman D. l.. Nair was reelected, together with Clarence II. Maxon and w. G. Gib- ncy, councilman. Stanley NJ, Coop CT and John s Dixon were picked for one year terms as councilmen to i'll vacancies.
 In the second ward, John Holm- berg and John Mack. republicans. were elected counCilmen over Louis Squllaciote and Hjalmer Paulson: the third ward reelected William II. Judd alderman and D. l.. Bartlett and W. S. Warner council men. At noon a check-up ot the two party lists indicated that Paul Nur- czak democratic aldermanic can didate. and Cyril J. Curtin and Peter Dorsey. nominees for coun- cilmen, were in the lead. This in formation was flashed to republican headquarters and the vote-getting machinery of every other district was tapped 10 reinforce the third. Apathy over the supposed safe re- publican district was believed to have caused the light vote while the superior organization built by the Nurczak Curtin Dorsey ticket in the carly voting hours gave the repub-
 icans the first real contest the third ward has had in years.
 In the fourth ward a lead of 100 votes was maintained by the re- publican candidates and John A. Larson and A. x. Anderson were reelected. They defeated Charlton Torrello and Elmer Peterson.
 Interest Focused on Upper Wards
 Interest in the election centercd mainly about the fifth and sixth wards. Zapatka and Grysbowski, leaders Of opposing factions in the Sacred Heart church, received loyal support from these groups. Zapatka is the leader of the young peoples societies under the direction Of Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski. and Grysbowski led the movement for new church in the district. He was chairman ot a meeting at which Father Boj- noWskl was severely criticized. Fifth ward political analysts claim injec- tion Of the religious issue reacted against Grysbowski and for Zapat- ka. The democratic campaign was featured by attacks on Grysbowski as q machine" candidate and his defeat was urged on the ground that he is too close to republican organization politics. On the repub- liCan ticket for councilmen, accord ing to democratic spellbindcrs, were two candidates who were voting here for the first time. They are l.. J. Colon, q former resident of Der lin and Salvatore Falletti. Monroe s. Gordon who stood the lions share Of the sixth ward cam paign assault was voting for the first time. having been admitted as an elector on the day he was . !IpIIll!idL'u lUl the DllICt. lie was running opposite samuel Sablotsky and had relied on a heavy vote from the Jewish residents of the district,
 but it was evident from the outcome that Sablotsky had the vote corner cd. Fl" ran 10 votes ahead of Coun-
 cilman Fay, who made no speaking
