F. Raymond Domlny of East Hamp- ton, supervisor of the census In Suf- folk whose headquarters Is In Islip, says the enumerators were selected over the week-end by a representative of the census bureau in Washington on the basis of the results of tests given fol- lowing Instructional courses held in Bay Shord, Riverhead and Smlthtown during the pa.st two weeks. For the purpose of the census, Suf- folk was divided into 209 enumeration districts. Because of the rural nature of part of the county, particularly the East End, several districts had to be assigned to single enumerators In or- der to reach a population figure of from 1,400-1,500, the standard-sized district throughout the country. Mr. Domlny said that there are sev- eral additional enumerator appoint- ments to be made within the next day or two. He said that about 20 districts, mostly in the rural area, have not yet had an enumerator assigned, but that these would probably be divided among about a half-dozen census-takers. One such district, he said, was Fisher's Is- land, which is part of Suffolk, but Is situated nearer the Connecticut shore. In taking the actual count of the county's approximately 200,000 resi- dents and 2,200 farms, the enumera- tors will be paid on ithe basis of four cents for each person counted and 35 cents for each farm schedule. The farming census will Include the number of farms and Information as to the acreage and crops of each. The housing survey will consist of Information as to type of house, size, occupancy and water, lighting and sanitation facilities. Besides the population, farming and housing census, which must be completed April 30, a nation-wide bu- siness and manufacturing census, was started a short time ago, will be com- pleted by June 30. Mr. Domlny said that on completion of the population, housing and farm- ing survey April 30, the county-wide figures will be released to the local newspapers before being sent to Wash- ington. This will be done, he said. In order to avert any questions later. In the event residents of a particular community question the census figures of their village and some basis Is found for the complaint, the district In ques- tion will lie re-enumeratored, he said. The census enumerators for the North Fork include Dorothy J. Ham- ilton, Mattltuck; Margaret F. Waters, Orient; Margaret D. Purcell, Southold, Sarah Slinon, Peconic; Walter Gaflga and Charles Lullaman, Greenport and Martha Cain, Cutchogue. John G.

Of principal In- terest In the balloting was the contest between the forces backing John R. Vunk for Chairman of the Democratic County Committee and those favoring the present incumbent, Charles H.

The other com- mitteeman post In this district was won by former Town Leader James P. Cant- Ion who is also said to favor Sullivan. The vote: Cantlon, 113; Santacroce, 97; Mulhall, 94.
