Successor to
Bowling TO Be
Elected Nov. 4
New Borough President to
Take Office January I,
but Aldermen Will Vote
TO FillVacancy Meanwhile

A Manhattan Borough President to
succeed the late Frank L.. Bowling will
be chosen at the general election in
November and take Office January I.
1920, it was said yesterday at City
Hall. The Manhattan members of the
Board of Aldermen will meet within a
few days to elect a Borough President
to serve until January /.
A decision Of the Court Of Appeals,
rendered in February, 1916, to the e.
feet that the Office was constitutional
rather than statutory. and that va
cancy should be filed under the gem
era1 election laws, was cited.
The general election law (Scc. 1922
provides that "a vacancy occurring be-
fore October Is Of any year in any
Office authorized to be filled at a gen
cral election shall be filed at the gen
cral election held next thereafter, un-
less otherwise provided by the consti-
tuition. or unless previously filled at a
special election
The greater New York Charter pro-
vides that vacancy in the Office of
Borough President shall be filed by a
majority vote of the Aldermen from
that borough The Mayor is empow-
cred to call these Aldermen together
forthwith preside at the meeting
and election, but not to vote unless it
is necessary to decide the election.
There are II Democrats, Repubi-
cans and 4 Socialists from Manhattan
in the Board of Aldermen. A Demo-
crat will therefore be chosen to hold
office temporarily.

Parisienne corsets are

terials are beautiful. The
models are varied. The work
nanship is good-tinishing
touches exquisite, and all lit

flexible boning, are given
proper attention.
The corsetieres in the
Wanamaker Corset Shop try
to bring out the best points
OF a figure-get exactly the
right corset for each individ-
ual customer.
Great attention is paid to this
vltally important feature-and
often a customer is sold a less
expensive corset in preference to
a Flgher-prlced one f the less ex
penslve corset suits her and gives
her better hines.

It's foolish to address a story about

where will they get time to read about

Nevertheless. for their informa alton
