MANNE7INe is DIVORCED.

New York. Jan. 5.-An interlocutory
decree of absolute divorce was granted
to Mary Mannering from her husband,
James X. Hackett. today in the SUI
preme court by Justice Blanchard.
The decree which separates these
two popular stage favorites after
year and half of speculation as to
whether the actor and his wife would
become reconciled was based upon a
report by Maurice Deiches. as referee,
recommending that the plaintiff 5
prayer be granted.
Elsie. the 5-year-Old child of the two,
ar one time credited with having been
the means of reuniting her father and
mother. is awarded by the court to the
custody of her mother. The decree
contains no provision for alimony. al
though it is said this may be added
later
Before the referee Mrs Hackett ap-
peared in person accompanied by her
attorney, William r. Wilder. She
charged her husband with having VIC
lated his marriage vows. but the name
of the correspondent in the case was
mentioned simply as IAN unknown
woman" She is said to be well known
| in the theatrical world.
| Mr.. Hackett did not appear in per-
son, He was represented by Clifford
Hartridge his attorney. A formal de
Lnial of the accusations was made. De
spite this fact the proof of guilt was
considered sufficient. About seven
hearings we're held.
| Mr.. Hackett and Miss Mannering
were married secretly in 1897, when
/ they were both members of the Ly'
ceum theatre stock company. After
eight months had passed their mar
riage was announced.
They starred together for several
seasons. and then separated, each
heading a different company. In June
1908. Miss Mannering began proceed
ings to divorce her husband.
In August of last year the host o.
friends of the Hacketts were delighted
bv the announcement that the divorce
suit had been withdrawn, and the &C
complished actors were to be again re
united in private and stage life. Little
Elsie was said to have brought abou
the reconciliation.
Mr.. Hackett stated. that he was yer!
happy over this result. but Miss Man
nering cabled from London: Recon
Citation is futile" Shortly afterwar;
the divorce suit was revised and pros
ecuted vigorously.

afternoon filed answers to both COM
plants in the cases of George Joseph

strain the Secretary of State from
certifying the copy of the arguments

Republican assembly candidates for

This was the last day upon which
answers could heve been filed under

plant last Thursday and gave the
defendants five days in which to
answer, and brings the cases to issue
for trial If the plaintiffs see fit to
prosecute the proceedings further.
In the meantime the act which the
plaintiffs sought to prohibit, the
certifying of the copy of the argu-
