FITZGERALD IS
ELECTED MAYOR
BOSTON HOLDS FIRST PARTY
LESS ELECTION
sToRRoW DEFEATED
BY 1928 VOTES
More Than "a Per Cent of Total Reg
istraton Recorded-Victor Did
Not Have Support of Any
Newspaper
ASSOCIATED Pressl


BOSTON, Jan. lin the first party
less election held under a new charter,
former Mayor John f. Fitzgerald was
elected today to fill the mayors chair
again, this time for a four years term.
He received 46, 96S votes and plu-
rality of 1928 over his nearest opponent,
James j. Storrow, banker, former presi-
dent of the chamber of commerce, and
former chairman of the school board.
The most remarkable feature of the
election to many was the small vote of
1888 given to the present mayor, George
A. Hibbard, who received $4,000 votes
two years ago, being elected on re
form" ticket over Fitzgerald.
The fourth mayoralty aspirant, Ma
thaniel II. Taylor, found only 629 sup
porterS.
The campaign, noteworthy in many
ways, was easily Boston's greatest. a
record vote of 95,125 was cast, more
than 81 per cent of the registration.
Mr.. Fitzgerald won his victory in
spite of the fact that not one OF the
daily newspapers of the city supported
him. He based his campaign on a plea
for vindication, his previous term IN
office having been conspicuous for the
exposure by the finance commission of
graft among a number of subordinates
in the city hall. Like Mr.. Storrow, he
is a Democrat in national politics, and
has been Democrat leader in local
battles.
Under the provisions of the new
charter the ballots bore no party deslg-
nation, only the names of candidates
appearing.
The campaign was probably the cost
lest ever waged in Boston. Page after
page in the newspapers was bought
for signed advertisements lauding the
various candidates and the city was
plastered with posters. Scores of halls
were hired for rallies and expensive
Headquarters were maintained by the
leading candidates in each OF the
twenty-five wards

PRES. BISHOP
LAUDS PILOTS
Head of Aero Club of America Is Not
in Favor of Promiscuous
Flying and Will Order
Change Made

Cortlandt F. Bishop. president of the
Aero Club of America and one of the
most enthusiastic promoters Of aviation
in the world, was unstinted in his
praise of Aviation week and the per
formances of the different aviators as
he greeted a group of friends last even
ing in the lobby of the Alexandria
hotel.
"Paulhans great nerve and splendid
control of his machine were equaled
only by the splendid manner in which
Glenn Curtiss got his machine under
way. If the remainder of the program
equals todays showing America will
have established records which prob
ably will stand for many months to
come" he said.
cone thing which impressed me was
the Indifferent way in which the avia-
tors flew. One would start from one
end of the field and fly west. Another
would start from the other end of the
field and fly north. This has got to
stop. There is too much danger of a
collision. From now on all of the ma
chimes will traverse a certain course. :"
Regarding the st. Louis meeting Of
of America. Mr.. Bishop stated that a
postponement had been asked but that
everything would depend on the length
Of time which the Los Angeles meet
would consume. He declared that the
meeting probably would be postponed
a day or two and would be held either
January % or 26. "There is no i'm
portance attached to this meeting other
than the dates on which these different
branches of the American organization
would be decided"
Mr. Bishop also spoke of the Wright
brothers action and denounced any
step which would tend to retard the
progress of aviation. From what
know of the Wright brothers patent,
l believe their grounds for injunctions
are very slight" he said. "Of course
they are at liberty to claim everything
they can, but 1 do not see how they can
gain anything. On the contrary, it is
likely that they will injure their repu-
tation. Curtiss' machine is altogether
different from the Wrights'," he con-
cluded, "and it is doubtful if their case
would hold water before any court"

MILLIONAIRE SEED MAN
SAYS HE FULLY F0RGIVES
ELOPING GRANDDAUGH

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. I1.-Oppos-
ing views as to which is the guilty
party in the elopement of Roberta de
Janon and Frederick Cohen are held by
the girls grandfather, Robert Buist,
the millionaire seed man, and Mrs.
Cohen, the wife who was deserted when
the couple fed from this city on De-
cember %.
Mr.. Buist declares his granddaugh-
ter did not realize what she was doing
and was the victim of cunning ad-
venturer.
Detectives are now on their way to
Chicago to return the girl to her grand
father and to bring Cohen here to face
a charge of abduction.
Mrs. Cohen says she will stick to
her husband. She says she has no
sympathy for the girl, who, she as
serts, wanted an escapade and chose
her husband TO accomplish it.
He was a loving and faithful hus-
band until he became the victim of
that foolish girl" said the wife today.
And I am going to stick with him
through his troubles"
She refused to say whether she would
proceed with the $50 900 suit against Mr..
Buist and Miss De Janon for the alien
alton of her husbands affections. for
which she engaged counsel last week.
Mr. Buist has fully forgiven the girl
for her escapade and viii do every
thing to make her happy. While he is
oVerjoyed in the finding of his grand
daughter, he has not permitted this to
soften his feelings toward Cohen. He
is bent on having the man prosecuted
to the limit of the law, but in this he
may not be able to succeed.
Girl viii Plead for Cohen
1t is believed the girl will plead to
have Cohen go unpunished and that
the extent of the punishment to be
meted out to him, if any will depend
on the influence the runaway girl ear
bring to bear on her grandfather.
The police take little stock in the
letters written by Cohen found in the
couples baggage in which he plea ds
with the girl not to run away because
it might ruin her future. The police
say he could easily have written these
and left them in the suit case as evil
dence. in case they were apprehended
of his honorable intentions toward the
girl.
Buist had Henry F. Walton, his
counsel, and w. "A. Burpee, a persona
friend, as his guests at the Unior
League club for breakfast. The mil
lionaire said
II am perfectly. delighted to get bacl
my little granddaughter. Mr.. Waltor
is my counsel and he win do the
talking"
Here Walton broke in with: "YoI
can rest assured a charge will be made
against Cohen, and one that will lie
