New HamnSlhtre Votes

Concord, N. H, Sept. g P- New Hampshire citizens went to the polls today to place their sign of approval beside the names of their favorite candidates in the state primary which climaxed one of the most feverishly contested campaigns in recent years.
 More than 60O0O votes were ex- pected to be cast for the asplrants to the United States senate, house of representatives the governorship and other local offices. A three cornered fight for the republican nomination for governor had eclipsed in state interest all of the other contests.
 Seeking the republican guberna- torial nomination, which in this state is tantamount to election, were former Governor John G. Winant and Arthur P. Morrill,, both of this city, and pr. Hugh K. Moore of Berlin. Political observers were in clined to the belief that the contest was between the two Concord men.
 Would Smash Precedent
 Winant if he should be victori- ous, would smash 5O-year prece- dent as no governor has been given a second term since the establish ment of the two-year regime a half century ago. The Morrill, faction, unbiased observers believed, was counting on the apparent prejudice of New Hampshire voters against breaking the precedent
 U. S. Senator Henry w. Reyes un- doubtedly will be accorded the re- publican nomination for reelection as he is unopposed. The democratic nomination was being sought by Amos N. Blandin of Bath and Albert w. Noone of Peterboro. Noone was also seeking the democratic guber- material nomination in which he was opposed by Frederick E. Small, former mayor of Rochester.

Then from government house, which is just three square distant, troops came out and returned the fire with machine guns, cannon and mausers and finally directed their attack against the post office itself. There were other unconfirmed reports that warships in the harbor were firing at some of the government build ings.
