4U. S. Representatives
To Be Selected Here
Successors to Fitzgerald, Crit
fin. Bruckner and Hubert
To Be Chosen

The announced intention OF John D.
FITZGERALD 20 resign from the House oil
Representatives and enter the private
nractice Of law after January l mas
aroused keen interest among inc
Democratic leaders in the special elec,
tions for Representatives when VII
have to be held early next year hr'
Fitzgerald5 retirement IN All propa-
bilitv will make necessary the election
Of four new Representatives from Ne"
York. en- r
the 9Th Congressional District, Brook
lvn. was elected Sheriff of Kings County
at the recent city election, and Repre-
sentative Henry Bruckner, q the 2Zd
District. in The Bronx, was elected
President OF that borough. Representa-
tive George Murray Hubert, of the 2lst
District, Bronx, is slated for appoint
ment as Dock Commissioner by Mayor
elect Hylan.
The announcement yesterday by jus
tice Luke D. Stapleton, OF the Appellate
Division of the Supreme Court, that he
would resign December 81 10 form a
law partnership with Mr.. Fitzgerald,
will give Governor Whitman another
judicial appointment in Brooklyn. He
already has two appointments to make
as Judges Of the County Court IN the
places of Mayor-elect Hylan and Lewis
/. Fawcett. Leander B. Faber, who was
one of the unsuccessful Republican jul
dietary candidates at the last election,
probably will be appointed to succeed
Justice Stapleton. Justice Faber is now
filling out the unexpired term of the
late Justice Carr, by appointment by
the Governor.
The report recently that Mr.. Fitzger-
aid was slated for an important post in
the new Hylan city administration,
probably that of City Chamberlain,
which carries salary of $4,000 a
wear was revived again yesterday. II
was emphatically denied, however,
among Mr.. Fitzgerald's friends, who
said he was leaving Congress merely TO
practise law. The denial was strength
ened by the understanding at Mayor
elect Hylan's headquarters that he in
tended to abolish the Office of City
Chamberlain.
State Senator Thomas II. Cullen, Of
Brooklyn, was mentioned yesterday in
Democratic circles as the most likely
candidate to succeed Representative
Fitzgerald.

Mayor to Let Budget
Reductions Stand

Navor Mitchell. in a letter to the
Board of Aldermen Yesterday, declared
nat he would not disanprove the ST.
$4,000 reduction in the 1913 budget
recommended by that board. The
Mayor declared It would be useless 70
veto any of the cuts made by the Al
dcrmen. as their action represented the
policy Of the incoming administration.
81 have carefully considered the re-
ductions in the budget for 1913 made
by your honorable board" said the
MAJOR. "and intend TO let the rcduc-
tion- stand. While there are admins
trative reasons for interposing the veto

the reductions, nevertheless, since the

Mitchell Answers Critics
Defends Expenditures for En-
Pertaining Foreign Missions

The fact that Mayor MitcheIs recep-
ton committees for the various Allied
war missions spent nearly 100000 IN
entertaining these distinguished guests
of the city was made a subject OF some
public criticism yesterday. Included In
this expenditure, however, was that OF
welcoming home the special mission
from this country to Russia, headed by
Flihu Root, the homecoming Of exam
bassador James W. Gerard and the
celebration Of the opening OF the Cats
kill Aqueduct.
Regarding the criticism, the Mayor
said:
"Not only do ! think that no word Of
extenustion is necessary for the eX-
pcnditures of the Mayors committee,
which managed the formal welcoming
OF foreign missions and the aqueduct
celebrations. but | say that the city
OF New York does not spend enough
money in such matters of official hos
pitAlity. In welcoming the Italian,
Belgian, japanese and Root missions !
believe that the city Of New York per-
formed a national service Of great
value"

Wins Annulment From
Wife Who Hid Past
Munitions Broker Says He
Found "Unsophisticated"
Bride Twice Married

James Henry Brand. cotton and mu-
nitions broker, obtained a verdict in
the Supreme Court yesterday in his
action for an annulment Of his mar
riage to Mrs. Frances Hansn Brand.
Mr.. Brand sued on the ground that
his wife practised fraud in hiding her
past from him at the time OF their
marriage. Mrs. Brands defence was
that she married Brand only because
Of his insistence, which, she said, took
place after she had told him all about
her prior affairs.
The defendant had been referred to
as the millionaire Kid of Peacock
Alley which, she explained, was a
sobriquet given by Kansas City news
papermen who mistook her for another
woman.
Brand said he believed his bride to
be an unsophisticated young woman
Just out of Briarclif School for Girls.
He learned later she had been twice
married. Her first husband was Al
bert Victor Baisden. whom she mar
ried in 1908 at Dalton, Ca. and in
1914 she was married TO Arthur \.
Harris in Los Angeles after cham
payne supper. Brand testified that he

AMERICAN EXPEDITI0NARl
ARMY, Nov. s.-They gave a show the
other night at an American hospital in
France and somewhere in the course o.
the play everybody wept or az least
got moist eyed. 1t wasn't so much OF
a show either, although IT was written
by a sergeant who once was dramatic
critic of a paper which prints all the
news which is TT. The audience wept
or got moist eyed, because the play
was about New York. 1t was laid in
year as nameless as the place in
which the hospital is located.
All the programme said was "the
bachelor apartments of Schuyler Van
Allen on a fine June night few weeks
after the end Of the war"
Schuyler had just come back from
Europe and he found his apartment
with everything as it was on the night
he had sailed for France. There was
the daily paper nc had left behind
dated May 3. 1917, and he looked at
the old sheet and unused as he read
some Of the headlines.
