(By Stephen Kurkjian, Globe Staff, 10/28/06)

(Correction: Because of a reporting error, a story in Friday's City & Region section about Republican Earle Stroll's campaign for auditor incorrectly said a primary would be held on April 28. It is the state Republican convention that will be held that day.)
