 With far more than the usual amount of interest shown in todays primary election in this city, indi- cations are that an unusually heavy vote will be boiled. While the polls did not open until noon, a fairly heavy vote was cast during the first hour
 It is expected that the heaviest voting will be done tonight during the evening hours. While the city charter provides that the election shall close at o'clock. this really means that the voting will continue until 10 o'clock, daylight saving time.
 It is generally admitted even by the candidates themselves that the mayoralty contest will be a close one, and there is scarcely anyone who will definitely prophecy the winners. The three mayoralty can- didates are Mayor W. Raymond Crumb. former Councilman John nonnellv, and Councilman Willard l.. Hough.
 Under Rristols partisan form of government. one of these three candidates will be eliminated as the result of today's contest and the two who receive the highest number of votes will be nominated for the final city election on October :.
 No political designations are given any of the candidates in city cleo tons here and it is necessary for over the name of the candidate for whom they wish to vote. New Polling Place The North Side school on North street is being used as a polling place today for the tirst time in the third voting district. Heretofore the Incas firehousc has always been used. but this year the city council decided to provide more adequate quarters of the voting place in that district in view of the possibility that the frehouse may eventually be relocated.
