Italian Girl Cannot Now Enter
 U. S...Held at Ellis Island

New York, Aug. 26.-Irida Gio- vetti. who arrived here on the Giulio Cesare last Tuesday from Italy, with the avowed intention of marrying George Abbott Hoke of Saltwater, Oklao whom she met while the latter was with the American forces in Italy IT, 1918. is being detained on Ellis Island by the authorities, who refused to permit her to land in this country. To add to her troubles she was told yesterday that Hoke already has a wife in Oklahoma, SO the we'd ding she had planned is off.
 The pretty Italian girl at first re- fused to believe the officials at the Inquiry yesterday when they told her that Hoke was married. She said that it couldn't be so. He is my fiance. he could not do such a thing" she almost screamed Nevertheless she is detained and Hoke has not appeared at Ellis Island to aid her, and it is likely that she will be deported, all though no decision has been reached yet.
 Met at a Dance in Rome.
 iit otOIy Oi tHt IOIIldHCt OI the young American captain and the 1talian~girl began in 1918 when they met at a dance in Rome. After a few short weeks of courtship the officer beseeched the girl to marry him and come to the United States to make her home here. This she consented to do and when the troop to which Hoke was attached was ordered home they parted as betrothed. She promised to come here and he prom ised to wait and to send her the pas sage money
 Because of the immigration law and the tanning of the foreign ports with eager immigrants the young woman decided to postpone her trip here un- til recently. She was to have come here in 1921, but was unable to dS so, and wrote to her sweetheart about it. He wrote her an urgent letter recently, she said, and also cabled her to come across the sea. sending her the passage money. With his she started on the Giulio Cesare, and engaged a special suite When she arrived here the authorities ques- .ioned her and she was taken to Ellis Island. Hoke did not appear, all though she attempted to telephone him at the Hotel Pennsylvania.
 Hoke Expected Her.
 According to the immigration off ,ials they had already investigated Hoke when they received word that he woman had engaged passage abroad with the avowed intention of meeting him here. Investigation was started in Saltwater Okla, and soon l letter was sent to the officials by Hoke stating that he was married but the woman and would see hat she did not become a public ,harge. When the woman arrived here she was held and then informed of Hoke's marriage.
 Efforts are being made to find Hoke. and inquiry at the Hotel Penn ,ylvania yesterday disclosed that no ,ne of that name had ever been reg stered at the hotel. The authorities | believe that Hoke is in the city, hav- ng come here to meet the girl, but le has not appeared at the hearing t Ellis Island nor has he made any fort to get his former sweetheart ut of the dilemma in which she is laced The officials here have not cached any decision as to what shall e done with Miss Giovetti.
