SOMOGYE GETS
BACK IN RACE
FOR RECORDER
ReCOnsiders His Withdrawal and
Decides to Seek The Repub-
IiCan Nomination.
SAYS We WAS DECEIVED

Stephen F. Somogyi, who publicly
announced his withdrawal from the
race for the republican nomination
for recorder In this city, last Tues
day, announced this morning that he
had reconsidered the matter and has
concluded to stand
Mr. Somogyi has several reasons
for getting back into the race, which
he has done with more determine
tfon than ever. Yesterday proved
one of the uneasiest days of the
young lawyers career. It was the
day following the announcement of
his withdrawal and his office was
flooded with callers. Each one in his
own language told Mr.. Somogyi what
he thought of his move. Some at
tempted to explain the error he had
made. Last night an official of the
Slovak Political Club called at Mr..
Somogyis cffice. AS was told in the
NEWS yesterday, the Slovak organ
ization seemed to want no one elsein
the recorders chair than Mr.. Som
ogyi They refused to lend their
support to H. q. Piekersgill or any
other republican candidate and there
was great fear of the club turning
democratic.
Mr.. Somogyi said today that he
had been deceived. Prior to the an
nouncement Of his withdrawal he
had been told certain things which
later proved to be falsehoods. Mr..
Somogyi is as high in the esteem and
respect for Mr.. Pickersgill as he ever
was, but for the sake of the party
and reasons best known to himself
he has concluded to run.
Boom for A.. p. Kennedy.
Two more candidates for the DEM
ocratic nomination for recorder are
being doomed, A. P. Kennedy and
Walliam T, Major. The latter is get
ting a new petition signed, having
found that his former one was not
drawn quite according to the intri-
cate requirements of the new primary
law.
A politician this morning COM
mented on the primaries and today's
continued rain, with the remark:
Well, the equinoctial rain storm will
be with US in about month, Just
around the date Of the primaries,
September a." This might be re-
garded by some as an omen.

MAN CRAzED
OVER DEATH
OF DAUGHTER
Jacob BslkOWiiz Is DesVOndeni
and Goes TO The Hospital TO
Gst His Child.
HAD TO CALL THE POLICE

Jacob Berkowitz, of 295 New
Brunswick avenue, who is becoming
demented from grief over the loss OF
his ten-year-old daughter, Sophia,
who died following an operation for
appendicitis at the city hospital a
month ago, made an attempt to en-
ter the hospital last night. He
walked up to the building several
times, crying and moaning, saying
that he wanted his child. The hos
pital nurses became alarmed and
notified DR.. w. D. Ramsay, of the
hospital star, who in turn notified
police headquarters at 1928 o'clock.
Sergeant McDermott detailed PATROL
man MCGOWAN to investigate the
matter, but when he arrived the man
had gone.
Neighbors of the Berkowitz fam
lily, who keep a candy shop on the
ground floor OF the building in which
they reside, have tried to assist the
despondent father and have shown
their sympathy in many ways.
The father, 1t Is said, almost sue
ceeded In an attempt to hang himself
the day following the death of his
daughter. He was found by rela-
uves hanging from an attic beam
with a rope drawn tightly around
his neck, which was slowly choking
him to death.
His daughter suffered with
severe attack of appendicitis, which
doctors claim had advanced to a
critical stage where it was almost
useless to operate. DR.. r. @. Henry
performed the operation July is.
The operation revealed abscess for
nation and the girl died three days
later from blood poisoning.
The man is living with his wife
and three sons. Should he make
any further attempt to end his life
or enter the hospital, Dr. Ramsay
states he will take immediate steps
to have him committed to the state
asylum for the insane.

A Catch Question,

OF Bishop Short, who held the see OF
st. Asaph, many curious stories are
told. Occasionally he put questions to
candidates for ordination that appar
nelly had no connection with the dis
charge Of their parochial duties They
tested probably their wit or tact, two
necessary qualifications to public men.
but nothing more. One such question
proposed by the bishop as the fol
lowing: (Which has the greatest num-
Der Of legs, Il cat or no cat?'
AS might be expected, this created a
litter, but the bishop would not take a
laugh as the answer. and consequently
he repeated the question and desired
some one to solve the problem. At last
one of the candidates, smiling, said 81
should think. my lord, cat"
No retorted the bishop; 'there you
are wrong. for a cat has four legs, and
no cat has flve."-London Telegraph
