PRIMARIES IN JERSEY
 NOW IN FULL SWING
Both Taft and Teddy Appear Con- fldent of the Outcome of Today's vote-Wilson to Have Own
 State.

New York, May 2s-For the third time in her rather exciting career, Lady Betty Faulkner, otherwise Mise Betty Chapman Pierce. tonight plans to be led to the altar by an oil man when she is married to Frank Clarence Henderson of New York, of Standard Oil reDute. T. Irwin Chap man of Boston, whom she divorced in 1905, and Roy El Pierce of New York and St. Louis, whose marriage to her was announced by H. Clay Pierce, his father, in 1911, both were ''in oil."
 She married Chapman after Louis Kronberg. a New England artist, painted the portrait which first thrust into the limelight the quiet Boston girl. Then she came to New York and appeared for a time in Belasco productions. Firing of the stage she went to Europe where Baron Ormondo De Rothschild was one of her admir- CTS until Roy B. Pierce appeared in her train. Then she returned to New York with Pierce and 10000 love let- fers and surprised her friends by su- ing Chapman for divorce. She also sued her mother-in,law for alienation of Chapman's affections. The aliena- xion suit was dropped when the elder Mrs. Chapman and her son went to Australia but Lady Betty obtained her divorce decree.
 Chapman was an official of the Standard Oil Company. The first in- timation the public had that she mar ried Pierce was in 1911 when H. Clay Pierce. head of the WatersJPierce oil Company, began suit to annul the marriage of his son to Mrs. Chapman. d,he annuiment was ordered and it was said Lady Betty was paid $3OO, 900. but she denied this.

New York, May ze-A shout of "ham an 7 or ''one on deck" win be heard in the Knickerboclker Hotel dining room today, but several good sized
 ''husk1eo'' who lounged about the en-
 trances to the dining room took good care that nothing went wrong. Guests who ate "at home'' had their break fast al right, and if there was a trifle Rwkwardness on the part of the wait ers it. was promptly excused.
 Tho strike of the walters and most of the cooks at the Knickerbocker, (which began unexpectedly last night, was already broken today, according to Proprietor Hegan- He said that Fhe hea hire mQke SAan enough men ito take the places of those who left, and that, SO far as he was concerned, ifhe stfike was over.
 After inspecting their rivals through the windows, the strikers returned to hheir headquarters, confident that the new workers could not put the cloths fetraight and that a majority of the icooks "could not boil water without Aecorching it."
 That a general strike will be de- yclared probably tonight against all of lthe city hotels included in the Hotel iiMen's Association, was considered al- most certain today. The officials of the union refused to make known their .Dlans.
 The hotel proprietors were busily engaged recruiting walters and kitchen fmen in readiness for the expected emergency. In many of the hotels strikebreakerS were Quartered where they would be available at a moments notice.
