primary election returns I INTEREST DISPLAYED IN TUESDAY'S CONTEST— HILDRETH REPUBLICAN, AND MELVIN, D EM0CRAT NOMINATED FOR COUNTY CLERK— H. S. RUTHERFORD HAS LARGE MAJORITY FOR FREEHOLDER ON REPUBLICAN TICKET, AND FENDERSON FOR COLLECTOR— PROGRESSIVES CAST SMALL VOTE IN CAPE MAY CITY AND COUNTY.

The primaries on Tuesday excited somewhat more than the usual amount of interest. There were four Candida tee for the BqmMifn nomination for Congress and there were strong in. dications that the expense account of each of them. If fully summed up, would be quite large. The county clerk fight resulted in nomination of Hiidretb on the Republican ticket, and Melrin on the Democratic ticket, and now comes the tug- , of-war. L. T. Stevens, the local man . of destiny ( waa nominated without op- . position and now faoes Slaughter and has started enveloping operations on the |

1 right wing which looks as though it j would drive the enemy back in order to save his communications. In the freeholder fight, the present incumbent ' H. S. Rutherford, won the Republican ■ nomination 'bands down" and now has f a* his opponent the Democratic candi- , date, Joseph Hwell. So far as the city candidates are concerned, practically everybody who sought a nomination got 1 it excepting perhaps in the case of the fn-choldership, and the contest for all the city offices is on without much change of front. The candidates are 1 getting out their 75 millimeter guns and their liLinchera and the artillery duel ; will begin soon, the battle to be settled 1 the jnfantTy on election day.

W# that Servia had forty-eight hours in which to accept the ultimatum of note, otherwise there would be war. War might mean war with if so, we were in a very dangerposition for the frontier was aear with fortifications and tens of thousands of soldiers on either aide. Furthermore, we were in the heart of Poland which waa aure to be one of the storm centers of any general European war. to the relation* hips of the friends were visiting with certain govwament. officials we were given to under, stand that if a mobilization of the army was ordered we would it within five minutes and that would be best for us to leave immed- ' While at dinner at seven o'clock ons
