elements would return to their original
parties. He believed about half or the
Gaynor strength would go to Mitchell
and the other half TO Mccall.
The Progressives were confident yes
terday that the death Of the Mayor
would insure the election OF Mr.
Mitchell. Francis w. Bird, chairman OF
the county committee, did not want 10
make public comment on the political
aspect Of the situation.
The Republican ticket in The Bronx
will suffer through the death OF the
Mavor. II was made up by combina-
ton with Eugene ]. Mcclure, an anti
Tammany Democrat, who had ar
ranged that the ticket should be run
under the Gaynor as well as the Re-
publican emblem.
Endorsements on the Gaynor ticket
were lust about to be offered TO Con-

Elections the name Of the new candi-
date"
At the Board Of Elections II was
said that Mayor Gaynor had not been
regularly nominated because the petit
tions, while prepared, had not been
duly filed. Some lawyers held how
ever. that the nomination had been
made as soon az the petition had been
prepared just as such as If con-

NORWAY BETTER
Than HUSBAND
Mrs. Iceberg Thinks the Old
Country is Worth While
He Divorces Her.

Mrs. Asbjorn Iceberg thinks Nor
way is a great place. .
In fact, she Is So stuck on Norway
that she won't come to America under
any consideration.
That is what her husband told Judge
c. NJ. Cooley Of the district court this
morning. and the judge vas 80 I'M
pressed with the husbands recital Of
her attachment for her native soil that
he gave him a divorce.
And that is just what Mr.. Iceberg
wanted.
According to the facts as presented.
Mr.. and Mrs. Iceberg were welded in
Minneapolis on June 16. 1909. Things
went along s~wim,ningly for a time.
They lived in Minot Tor a while, and
also in Grand Forks.
Then they went to Norway and re.
sided there. But Mrs. Lieberg be-
came attached to the country. She
vas so we'll pleased with the world in
general when she reached Norway that
she didn't want to come back.
The husband has tried several ex,
periments. not the least important of
which was that Of sending her money
for the fare back. But she wouldn't
come.
Mr.. Iceberg likes America. He
likes it a whole lot better than Nor
way. and inasmuch as the two failed
to see just where they could reach n
agreement, he adopted the divorce
court remedy.
An interesting feature is found in
the fact that they are first cousins.

FIRE BALLOON
CAUSES SCARE
England Is Wrought Up
Over Possibility Of
Airship Spies. -..

London, March 26.-The, discovery
by a game-keeper on a lonely York
shire moor of the remains Of q fire
balloon has ended one Of the most
! acute attacks Of "airships'' from
which England has suffered since the
jingoes began to discuss the danger
of an airship attack by Germany.
For several weeks towns on the east
coast have been in a fever of excite
ment yer h reports Of mysterious
lights said to have been seen lowering
Over them. It is now believed that the
reputed airships have all been neat
balloons sent up by practical jokers.
The evening star, unusually prominent
for some time past on account Of a
notable lack OF fog, also shares the
blame. and Venus was responsible for
breaking up a meeting of the West
Hartlepool corporation finance COM
mittee. -
The committee vas busy with the
annual estimates when a member en-
tered in a supposed state Of excite
ment and. whispering to two or three
Of his colleagues. took them outside.
Other members 500 followed. The
cause OF the exodus declared that the
bright light overhead was an airship,
and he asserted that he could even see
its outlines. After a lengthy and heat
ed argument 1t was decided that the
fearsome light Was Venus, a star sell

In the meantime Germany fa en$e33-

Mrs. Vests first English husband was
a prominent statesman and cabinet

to do this to some extent. The faith
