FAIL To
STOP DESERTER
Det. Gutowskl Finds MagyaTs
Uniform in Home After Lat
ter Escapes in Woods

Detective Joseph Gutowski walked
into police headquarters last night
bearing a complete infantryman's un-
form He reported that he had been
after a deserter, had found him and
then the man had escaped, despite
several shots sent after him by the
detective. He had, however, left his
uniform behind him.
Word was received yesterday at the
police station that George Magyar OF
Grace street, had been absent from
Camp Dix for eight days without
leave. Gutowski went after him last
night.
AS the detective entered the rear
yard of the Magyar home. he accost-
ed q man in civilian clothes. Not sus-
pecting that 1t was the deserter, Gut
owski accosted him, when Magyar
broke and ran into the cellar of the
house and through TO the front, then
turning around, ran for some heavy
foliage near at hand.
GutowslSi followed close on his
heels. firing several shots into the air
TO frlghten the man. But Magyar
lost himself in the bushes and de-
spite a vigilant search. the detective
failed to find the fellow.
Gutowski then went through the
house and found Magyar's uniform In
a bedroom. This he took possession
OF and left at the police station.

Three NewBrunsvvickP0 Polls

Renort Both Elected BY
Majority of Few Votes;
HiIker Behind Bennett

rt ,s impossible at this time to give
Anv definite result as to the election
of Thomas Brown or Arthur A. quinn
~ tha Democratic nomination for the
state senate. or to state accurately
whether or not Freeholder F. William
mixer Of this city has lost out In mis-
contest for denomination on the he-
publican ticket over ]. Edgar Ben
nett
This is due to the fact that eight
polls in the county have failed to turn
in their returns. Then. too, so close
are the races that the soldier vote,
which is being taken at the present
time, may materially affect the re-
suits of Tuesdays primaries.
Despite tho fact thai the primary
election closed at o'clock on Tues
day night these eight polls in this
county have, up to noon today. failed
to report the official returns OF the
election at the Office OF the county
clerk in New Brunswick,
Three of these polls are in the city
of New Brunswick. One Is in Monroe
township, one in Roosevelt, two In
> South River and one in Piscataway.
ohlcials in the county clerks ONCE are
at loss to explain the reason Tor
the delay, particularly as most Of the
polls are known to have light reg
istraffon and should take but short
time to tabulete. The county seat
polls have given no explanation Of
their delay in not being able 70 report
the reforms to the county officials IN
their own home city.
The cioseness OF the Brown Quinn
contest may be shown by the fact that
the result has at various hours since
the closing OF the polls been credited
to both candidates.
Yesterday it was believed that
Quinn had won out by about a half
hundred votes. But later returns and
official tabuiation of those on hand
showed Brown leading by four votes.
Quinn adherents claimed that he was
the victor by six votes. while Brown
supporters counter-claimed that he
had come out victoriously by four
ballots.
But with the districts still missing
any statement as to the election Of
either is a matter of conjecture, SOLE
iyS and is not based on any Official
figure.

opens the question OF the Roumanian
dynastic succession. When King
Ferdinand heard OF the marriage or

be given seventy five days Of solitary
for absenting himself
without leave from his garrison.
King Ferdinand also sent an ennis
sary to Bender. Bessarabia. where

honeymoon. with instructions to try
to undo the nuptial knot but 70 no

her wedding ring and the crown
prince declined TO leave her.
Crown Prince Charles has not yet
voluntarily denounced his right OF
succession and the king Is reported
to be very angry. The Roumanian
constitution does not contain a clause
barring a morganatically married
crown prince from succession TO the
throne.
Should Crown Prince Charles re-
