In the camp of George H. Thomas, democratic nominee for mayor, It Is de clared that the large registration means voters who are against both Rushlight and Simon and want to support Thomas.

On the other hand, the Simon people, who were most aotlvo ln securing the opening of the books, say they are grat ified by the large registration, argu ing that this represents a large silent vote which became alarmed by Hush light's success ln the primaries.
