 publican delegates es-at-large and four district delegates were elected who while rominally unpledged, fa- cor Frank Knox. Chicago and Man chester publisher.
 Elliott A. Carter of Nashua, who endorsed the candidacy of Gov. Ali M. Landon of Kansas trailed by only small margin behind in the contest for seventh delegate-at- but was conceded little chance of overcoming the lead of his nearest opponent.
 Seven delegates -at-large and four district delegates will have one vote each at the republican national convention at Philadelphia.
 Balloting was fairly heavy com- pared with previous New Hampshire presidential primaries. Fair wealth CT and inter-party flights among democrats brought out voters in greater numbers than usual.
 Unpledged swamped The four unpledged democratic candidates early lost hope of elec- ton. John S. Hurley of Manches- tor, onetime Roosevelt supporter and federal ofilcial in the prohibi- ton department, had led an anti New Deal fight as an unpledged candidate.
 Three courtremarsh- pledged can- didates trailed hopelessly. The 6l- year-old courtremarsh is retired dentist, former house painter, tex tile worker, Minor League baseball player, Spanish-War veteran and ice cream dispenser. He sought the democratic presidential nomination on platform which included is- suance of $30,000,0000 paper money and silver, old age pensiona and abolition of capital punish- ment.
 Flying Start For Knox In the republican delegate-at. large columns, Governor H. Styles Bridges and former U. s. Senator George II. Moses piled up outstand- ing leads. Moses described tho election as flying start" for the presidential aspirations of Knox, "favorite son" candidate who adopt- cd Now Hampshire as his homo state.
 The tremendous popularity de. tnonstrated by Bridges probably will result in his selection as republi- can candidate for the U. s. Senate. He boiled several thousand more votes than Moses.
 Behind Bridges and Moses were former Governor Charles w. Tobey of Temple and Huntley N. Spauld- ing of Rochester.
 Boston, March l1-(UP)-As re- suit of the New Deal victory in the New Hampshire presidential prim- aries, former Governor Joseph B. Ely has abandoned his fight for an unpledged Massachusetts delega- ton to the democratic national cons vention.
 Ely, administration critic and American Liberty League member, previously had announced he would offer . slate of unpledged delegates to oppose the Roosevelt-pjledged candidates.
 "One lone democrat can't lick four billion dollars" Ely said.
 "All the power of the greatest patronage organization this country has ever seen was thrown into the New Hampshire primaries. The Roosevelt administration. fearful of the result if the democrats were left to their own natural choice, sent MT. Farley into New Hampshire. Every possible agency was called into action against the unpledged delegates
 My position regarding the Roose- welt policies is unchanged, but fully realize the power which this bureaucratic administration has es- tablished over the democratic par- ty."
 Ely. who reportedly has been considered as a republican vice. presidential candidate, said that in Massachusetts he not only would be opposing federal patronage but "All the state patronage as we'll" ---------------------.--- of rank and religion.
