ty per cent, of tho total vote wns polled.
In districts where thero were contests,
and these were nearly all on the Republi

This means the election of Richard IC.
More, n retired glass manufacturer, of
Brldgeton, and Harry J Knight, of Med-
ford, as Republican delegates from the
Second district.
In Hudson County the Verdon, or reg
ular, candidates were elected by a two-to-ono
vote. In the 9th nnd 10th Districts,
