Charles L. Crozier, Progressive Labor can- didate, ran good third but was never factor. Garland Boggan, independent bidder, fell far behind and collected but 36 votes of the record 1922 ballots cast of total registration of 1898.
 MacSpaddens boosters were elated when results of the two smaller precincts came in. The Third Precinct. voting in the Home Grocery, was the first to give final figures. The tally here gave Mac Spadden 138 to the present Mayors 134.
 The Second Precinct, at Giovan- etti's Store, gave the one-time councilman and City Dock wharf finger his biggest edge. Final fig ures there were 250 for MacSpad- den and 206 for Goldstein. That gave MacSpadden 48-vote edge as all eyes turned to the City Hall where clerks still were tabu- lating the large vote of e36 elec- tors in the First Precinct.
