LOCAL VOTERS SUPPORT ROBB IN PRIMARY \

{LEAD} Democratic voters in Chesapeake overwhelmingly supported incumbent U.S. Sen. Charles S. Robb in Tuesday's Democratic Party primary.

In a four-way race for Robb's seat, the incumbent got 3,857 votes here, or 69 percent of the Chesapeake vote. About 5,612 of this city's residents turned out to help make Robb his party's nominee.

{REST} Robb will face Republican Oliver L. North and two independents in the November elections. Former Gov. L. Douglas Wilder filed petitions Tuesday to get on the ballot. The second, former GOP state Attorney General J. Marshall Coleman, was preparing to enter the race on Thursday.

Of the Chesapeake vote, State Sen. Virgil H. Goode Jr. of Rocky Mount got about 25 percent. The other contenders were Richmond attorney Sylvia C. Clute with 188 votes and Nancy B. Spannaus, a follower of Lyndon LaRouche, with 171.
