Unfortunately this does not work, it would turn the mode off if it's
already turned on.  

If you have in your .emacs:

(add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook 'my-emacs-lisp-mode-hook)
(defun my-emacs-lisp-mode-hook ()   (auto-fill-mode 1))

And add to an elisp file:

;; Local Variables:
;; mode: auto-fill
;; End:

auto-fill-mode will not be turned on for that elisp file.
