‘3,900 VOTES AT PRIMARY LOST Failure to Manipulate Ma- chines Correctly Discovered) — Retween 3,500 and 9,600 men and women who thought they voted for mayor at the primamy election February 17 did not vote at all, ac rording to estimates made by City] Comptroller Harry W. Carrol and| his chief deputy, James P, Agnew Altho the 8,600 or 3,600 left the polling booths and voting machin serenely confident that they had cast thelr votes for Caldwell, Fitzgerald or Duncan, the fact is that a desire to keep their votes a deep secret from voters who followed them into the booths resulted in f their ballots, In a nutshell the act that lost be tween 3,500 and 3,600 mayoralty votes waa this: A voter, fearing that the man woman who next fol lowed him would see how he voted on the mayoralty contest, would pull down the pointer over the name Fitagerald, Caldwel] or Duncan, and then push it up in before he swung the lever which automatically | registered the voter's wish. This precautionary measure was first discovered early on election day At one of the fire stations, Firemen seated on the b were able to look straight down info the bgeth. One of firemen observed a wom pull the pointer Over one of the mayoralty candidates’ name and then | push it up again before she swung | the lever, Interested, the firemen | kept watch and saw scores of such acts. Altho the the “pulland-push” act with the pointer over the mayoralty cand! fates, it waa not noticed that the same cautious voter so acted with re gard to other candidates for whom he voted While the “lost votes" for mayor probably would have no effect on the final outcome, voters will be warned by the city comptroller not to pull the “pulkand-push” stunt with the pointer at the general elec Uon, next Tuesday, WHAT WOULD A on Yeu have no one but yourself to E Blame if you are deceived twice by the same person Bven a worthless man is worth Miore to himself than to an under taker.
