MARTIN H. GLYNN WINS
IN NEW YORK ELECTION
Whitman and Davenport Are Also
Named-Ambassad Gerard
Slated for Senator.

New York, Sept 30-Martin H.
Glynn, Democrat; Charles S. Whit
man, Republican, and Frederick N.
Davenport, Progressive, will be the
standard bearers of their respective
parties in the November gubernatorial
elections. Returns from the statewide
primary, which are coming in slowly,
indicate that all the candidates have
been nominated by overwhelming ma
jorities.
The senatorial race was settled in
an equally decisive manner, so far as
the returns at this hour indicate, by
the Nomination on the Democratic
ticket of Ambassador James w. &C.
rard, who was opposed by Franklin
D. Roosevelt and James S. McDonogh,
and by the Republican choice Of Will
liam M. Calder in preference to either
David Jayne Hill of James w. Wads-
worth, Jr. The Progressives had no
contest for this office, cambridge
Colby being the only candidate.
The only race that was at all close
was the Progressive fight for gov
ernor, and that was close only during
the first few hours after the closing of
the polls. When the returns from
Greater New York were all that we're
coming in former Governor Sulzer
kept up to within a score or more of
votes of Davenport's totals. Later re-
ports from upstate, however, showed
a strong trend to Davenport and later
some Sulzer supporters were con-
ceding his nomination. Davenport
himself claimed that he would poll five
votes to Suffers one.
Justice Samuel Seabury, who pre-
sided at the second trial of Charles
Becker, was nominated as the Demo
cratic candidate for associate justice
of the court of appeals. If elected he
will have to pass on Becker's applica-
ton for a new trial

WAS WOMAN OF GREAT CHARM
Empress Josephine One of the Most
Remarkable Personages Of His
toricaI Record.

While the Empress Josephine had
one million francs a year for her pri-
vate purse, it is a well-known fact
that she was always in debt, and
while this led to stormy scenes with
Napoleon, and beyond doubt she had
an extravagant wardrobe, it must not
be supposed that she spent this sum
entirely upon herself, as it is esti-
mated that she supported more than
two thousand poor people in addition
to helping many needy aristocrats
who had suffered under the revolu-
ton.
1t is said that she owned several
hundred hats and bonnets which were
peculiarly becoming to her, and paid
her hairdresser six thousand francs a
year. OF course, the preservation of
her wonderful charm caused the
spending Of many hours a day in her
boudoir, from which all but a few
favorite waiting women we're ex-
Guided. So successful was she, in ad-
dition to her own wonderful personal
ity, that at the age of forty, and a
grandmother when arrayed in a sim
pie white mousseline and string OF
pearls, her husband exclaimed at her
loneliness and said he would be jeal-
Gus.
