DETROIT-Incumbent Mayor
Coleman Young, as expected,
trounced his oppolsition yester-
day as Detroit voters went to
the polls to select two mayoral
candidates in a primary elec-
tion.
Unexpected,. however, was
the second-place finish by
Councilman Ernest Browne.
BULLETIN
DETROIT (UPI) - With 14.5
per cent of the city's 1,222 pre-

Coleman Young was the top
vote-getter yesterday in
Detroit's mayoral primary,
garnering 14,632 votes. Council-
man Ernest Browne finished
second with 11,137, suburban
contractor Thomas Dailey was
third with 5,636 and Wayne
State University law professor
John Mogk finished fourth with
3,731.
YOUNG, 59, the city's first black
mayor, was conceded the top spot, with
supporters fervently hoping for a
November challenge from one of
