No odds are being offered by anyone although it's believed that Johns holds the edge in Cocoa, Collins in Melbourne and neither has a predictable majority in Titusville. As for the other races, the report is that there isn't too much local interest. The candi dates, however, will benefit By KARL HUNZIKER Staff Correspondent TITUSVILLE More than 7,000 voters will go to the polls in Brevard County today to cast their ballots in four run-off races left unsettled by the May 4 Democrat-Primary.

Across the county, two races will be decided by all qualified voters; the gubernatorial contest between LeRoy Collins and Charley Johns and the battle between Curtis Barnes and Joe Cowart for commissioner from District 4. Two Port Canaveral commissioners also will be named, but the vote will be split. Voters in the Cocoa-TitusviUe area will find the names of John V. D'Albora and Mayo Hill on the ballots while Kelly Brinson and Bob Burnes will compete for the job in the Merritt Island-Cocoa Beach area. GOVERNOR RACE HOT The governor's race is termed the hottest in years through Brevard County.

In the May 4 primary, Johns polled 2,965 votes to 2,693 for Collins and 1,531 for defeated Candidate Brailey Odham. John's plurality, therefore, was only 272 over his nearest rival while the direction of swing among the Odham votes is unknown. Predictions are that the vote will be split and that neither candidate can count on winning an overwhelming percentage. This point of view is reflected in the election betting, now reportedly hot all over the first for a board largely made up of new members, including a new president. John Bryant, the new presi dent, will make some committee appointments at the meeting and will outline a proposed chamber program for this year.

Bryant was installed as president at a dinner meeting of the board earlier this month. He replaced Randolph Ellinor, whose term expired. Brevard County Voting Sites Here are the voting sites by precincts in Brevard County for today's election. The polls will open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m.
