4 WOMEN TO SIT IN
 ASSEMBLY
Elect Three Representatives a II d One Senator in the State-Democrats Will Have Only One Sena- tor and 12 Representa- tives in the Next Leg iSlature.

New Haven, Nov. 3-Revision of figures with-~one cityl missing this forenoon the approximate margin of Warren G. Harding. the Repub1ioAn presidential nominee over Governor James M. Cox. was 116,000 with some hundreds over for good measure. United States Senator Frank B. Brandegee, who was fought by many of the equal suffrage advocates among the women, suffered to the extent of 21,000 votes in round numbers as compared with MT. Hardings vote, and as MT. Lonergan, his opponent, ran ahead of Governor Cox the appa- rentl oss in votes by the senior sena- tor was much greater. Lonergan boiled more than 10000 more votes than Governor Cox.
 For governor, Everett J. Lake, Re- publican, pulled up quite close to the presidential candidate, and led the state ticket although some missing figures, owing to neglect in many towns to promptly report these, makes it impossible yet to determine how much he led Senator Templeton, wNo was his running mate. The figures for the state officers, however, ran close together.
 The state has a Republican delega- ton to Congress by the victory of E.. Hart Fenn of Wethersfield, a veteran legislator and newspaper man.
 The General Assembly will be al- most wholly Republican, as only Dan iel Pickett, of Waterbury, who wrested control of a district from the veteran. Senator Hurley, who has been in the upper branch many sessions, is the only member of the party to gain a seat.
 In the House the Democrats did poorly. Last session they had 69 members The number 13 will rep resent their seat holdings next ses- sion and Mrs. W. A. Jewett, of Tol- land, is one of the number, the first Democratic woman to be chosen. The Republicans elected Mrs. Mary Hooker, of Hartford, Miss Emily Brown, of Naugatuck. and Rev. Grace Edwards of New Hartford. as mem bers, and the latter may have the frequent opportunity as befalls clergymen who go to this body, to occasionally open a days sitting with member, as in Portland the member was chosen by only five votes and the Republicans want a recount
 The House membership is 25S. but this time it was increased by four as in anticipation of census benefits Westport, Seymour, West Hartford and Watertown, each elected an addf- seats, will have to be provided with room.
 The Socialist party vote showed a large increase, although the bulk ot the votes was cast in the cities. Tn 131 towns reporting on the Socialist vote, Debs for president, received T. OPS, as against 3,6S5 votes cast in the ago. Martin F. P1unkett for United States Senator, received 6,731 and Charles T. Peach for governor had S,641

Woman Dead, Companion
 Is Quiizzed
Police Hold McGovern Who Tells Story They Don't
 Believe.

Mystery and conflicting circum- stances surround the death of Mrs. Mary Laposkia of 301 Bostwick ave- nue, who was found dead in bed this morning at the home of. Edward J. McGovern at 59 Cherry street, where McGovern keeps a four-room apart ment and where he lives alone.
 McGovern, who was arrested by the police this morning told the police that he was at home last evening about 10 o'clock when the Laposkia woman, who is married but who is not living with her husband, came to his apart ment with her face showing the effects of having been badly beaten and coV- cred with blood. He said he took the woman in, and after administering to her and wiping the blood from her face he let her lie down. He was awakened about o'clock by the woman coughing and. making guttura1 noises as though she was choking to death. He ran from the house to a nearby fire company house where members of the fire department sum- moned Dr. H. H. Weiss, a former Emergency ambulance surgeon, who responded to the call and said the woman in his estimation had been dead for two hours. He reported the case to Medical Examiner Samuel B Garlick, who. after a preliminary in vestigation, said the woman had been dead for 12 hours.
 The pOQy O1 l1le 11dpOShla was taken to the City Morgue where it is being held pending an autopsy by the medical examiner. McGoverr is being held at police headquarters He was arraigned in the City court this morning on a technical charge of breach of the peace. The case was continued until Saturday, bonds being fixed at s1,0OO. Dr. Garlick stated this morning that there were no evidences to support the claim of McGovern that the woman had come to his house at ten o'clock last night and an investigation made by. the po- lice this morning shows that the wo- mans clothes wered ry, which would offset the story told by McGoverr that she had come to the house from the outside with dry clothing inas- much as it was raining heavily at that time last night.
 An autopsy on the body which was to be held this afternoon will be post poned until a later day pending the completion of the police investiga- ton. Dr. Garlick has not yet given out an official finding on the cause of the death of the woman The Lapos- kia woman is 37 years old and has been separated from her husband for some time. McGoyern, who is also 37 years old and who gives his occu- patton as a plumber, is widower, his wife having died recently. Up to press time the police were seeking to straighten out the conflicting circun- stantial evidence but reported that they had not as yet unfathomed any new clues.

 FORFEITED BOND

Charged with having liquor in his possession with the intent to sell same without the government permit. John Fogorasi, a saloon keeper. at 80 Pembroke street, was arrested last night and arraigned in the City Court this morning, when he forfeited bonds of S75, bringing the amount Of for- feitures on similar offenses against local saloon keepers up to a total slightly exceeding $1,4OO, which has resulted since the local police began their crusade about a month ago against violaters of the 18th amend ment In all there have been 20 ar rests made and in all of the cases but two those booked have forfeited bonds.

WOMEN WANT
 CABINET MEMBER

Washington, Nov. 3.-Triumphant over their showing at the polls the women are now preparing to make their voice heard in the new admins tration. Alice Paul, chairman of the National Womans party, and other leaders sounded a warning today that from now on the woman vote will act as an organized force and the voice Of women will make a loud and insistent noise in public affairs
 Programs announced by the various orga nizations indicate that the new Congress will be descended upon by the largest army of feminine lobby ists ever mobilized for action
 President-elect Harding is to be re- minded of his campaign statement that a federal departm ent of we1fara is needed with a woman at its head as a member of the cabinet He will be called upon to make good
 Who the first woman member of the cabinet will be is already the sub ject of speculation in feminine politi- cal circles. Mrs. Corinne Roosevelt Robinson, sister of the late Colonel Roosevelt, and Mrs. Raymond Rob ins, head of the Woman's Trade Union League, both of whom campaigned for MT. Harding, are most prominently mentioned as possibilities.

GET RETURNS
 IN THE RAIN

The rain and heavy wind created havoc among those who had assem- bled to receive the stereopticon cleo tion returns displayed by The Times, last night. But many people held to the shelter of doorways, until nine o'clock, when the last slide conceded Times extras which were issued had large sale in all parts of the city. The result in Bridgeport was first an- nounced definitely by The Times, and was so staggering as to convince nearly everybody that a Republican landslide had occurred throughou! the country. In consequence, te1e- phone inquiries about the election were much less numerous than usual

SMITH IN LEAD.

SMITH IN LEAD,
 New York, Nov. 3-Interest in New York state on the day after election played about the game fight Governor Smith was making on the Democratic Repu ublican opponent for the honor of being states chief executive
 With the state giving the Harding Coolidge ticket an unheard of p1u- raIity of about 100000 votes, Cover nor Smith, nevertheless, was leading by 1S,065 on returns actually received at 9:30 o'clock today.
 But although, with the count in New York city complete, Governor Smith had 1,19S.29s votes up and down state to the 1,175,233 tabulated for MT. Miller, his margin soon will be eaten up by returns from the 924 districts still missing upstate, if the Republican nominee maintains his present average plurality of S2 in each district outside Greater New York. If this average holds, MT Miller will come down to New York with lead of 375,150, whereas in the metropolis tan district Governor Smith has been able to run up a margin of only 319,- ell. By this figuring, Miller would win by 55,539.
 New York city complete gives liar ding 7S5,576, Cox 345,5 Debs 131,- S56.
 In the gubernatorial race New York city complete gave: Smith 709,746, Miller 39O,135.
 Governor Smith led Miller by 319,- ell votes in the completed returns frdom New York city.

THE WEATHER

Bridgeport and vicinity-Fair tonight and Thursday; slightly cooler tonight.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1920-08-06
New York
NEW YORK, July 21, 1920

The Water Street market which has
had it's interests in the domestic leaf field
directed toward the Broadleef offerings
the past weeks, are now turning to the
1919 Wisconsin with considerable antic-
ipation of what it may hold of new in
terest. But the real lat the bottom of
the heart" feeling in the Street con-
Germs itself with the attitude of the
buyers to the 1920 crop soon to be ready
for harvest. The Tobacco Leaf gives
voice to this market heart throb in the
following tip:
Conservative Water Street packers
regard this as an opportune time to
sound warning to their more specu-
ulatively inclined trade contemporaries
against early buying of the growing
crop. Never was there a year, these
packers point out, when there was less
reason for buying in the field, and GER
tainly never a year when such proded-
ure was so hazardous. The status of
the me ey market and the Tightening
tendency manifested in all lines of in
dustry are in themselves sufficient basis
for this warning. But the various
phases peculiar to the cigar industry at
this time furnish even more potent rea-
sons Tor the exercise Ol Tue 0ACIGLuGSt
caution on the part of the leaf men.
The late planting of the 1920 crop
naturally means the postponment of
the harvest until the first half of Sep
tember. The growing crop will conse-
quently be subjected to too many haz-
ards during the month of August, and
the harvest time will be far too close
to the frost line to make speculation on
the growing crop even reasonably safe.
Leaf costs and manufacturing costs,
they say, have already mounted to such
an altitude that any further boosting
of leaf prices must constitute dan
gerous menace, not only to the cigar
manufacturing industry, but to the leaf
trade as well, and any hasty action on
the part of the leaf packers at this
time would most surely result in still
higher prices. ..Sit tightp' is the
watchword of the most important oper-
ators in the domestic cigar leaf field,
this year, and it is to be hoped that
this warning will be needed.
