I Primary Elections I Today In Indiana Warm Battles Waged In Four Os Cities Indianapolis. May 6 -(CPIWarm political battles were waged today in at least four of Indiana's six largest cities, as voters went to the polls in the first municipal primary eince 1912. Campaign oratory and vote-scour-J Ing activity ended last night in such populous places as Indianapolis, Evansville, South Bend and I Gary. In those cities, the heat of the off-year primary waxed warmest In Fort Wayne and T'.-rro Haute, i activities Itefore the voters squared off for a decision at 6 a.m. CST were described as ■'lethargic.'' There were rnayoialty contests, but they didn't take on the general Interest shown elsewhere among the "big III." .Mayoralty contests were listed «n ballots in 79 of Indiana's 102 cities, and the voters tn many of the state's 432 smaller towns went to the polls to choose town clerk and town laiard rominees, in pre-

paration for next No vent tier’s municipal election. The field of candidates for mayor in the 79 cities stood at 45S as the. balloting began, but the majority was slated to be eliminated by nightfall. A fair-sized handful of 73 I candidates, 20 of them present mayors, were unopposed In the primary and automatically nominated. An estimated 150,000 voters were expected to visit the polls In the nix biggest cities, approximately 55,000 in Indianapolis, 25,000 in Evansville, and 15.000 each in Gary. South Bend. Fort Wayne and Terre Haute. At Evansville, the only one of the "big six” cities where a present mayor sought another term, mayor Manson 8. Reichert had five opponents on the Hepublican ticket but four of them were conceded little chance at nomination. Reicheit's chief foe was Henry G Huberts, a former Industrial personnel director, who was backed by the anti-lteichert forces and by Hep. Edward A. Mitchell, R„ Ind. Reichert, who was indicted recently on election irregularities charges, was expected to benefit from support of the Vanderburgh county GOP machine, which he had an chairman. On the Democratic side of the Evansville picture, former mayor William H Dress and state Sen. Charles F. Lletz appeared to be neck-and-neck favorites over five others in the field. Lletg was considered by, many to be the choice of the party organization, headed by Charles J. Blebel. Dress was the anti Etchel slate man At Indianapolis, straw polls showed the strongest candidates seemed to be William 11.
