Correspondent
IN SUIT FOR DIVORCE

TRENTON, Nov. 7:-Harry H.
Weinberger, well-known Passaic
lawyer, was named correspondent in
the divorce suit filed today by Philip
c.. Marchese, of 151 Ellison street,
Paterson, against his wife, Mrs. Rose
Marchese, of Clifton, on the ground
of adultery.
The divorce petition is the sequel
to a suit for maintenance brought by
Mrs. Marchese against her husband
some time ago. She alleged that her
husband had not supported her since
last August and that he had separ-
ated from her on August 80.
In his divorce action started today
Marchese charged that his wife had
committed adultery with Weinberger
on five occasions. Marchese alleged
that the alleged %offenses had taken
place in an automobile, at the home
of Weinberger's father, 2S4 Boule-
ward, and in Weinberger's office In
the Peoples Bank Building, Passaic.
Prior to the petition for divorce,
last Monday Marchese filed an an
swer to his wife's petition for main
tenance. In his answer Marchese
also charged his wife with miscon-
Quoting herself with Weinberger.
He gave his as an excuse for sep
arating from her.
In his petition for divorce Mar
cheese recited the fact that he and
his wife were married October 10,
1909, at Ridgefield. He said one
child, Rosetta, now twelve years old,
was born of the marriage. The girl
is at present in the fathers custody.

TAMMANY IS ELATED
OVER N .Y. CITY VICTORY

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE Demo-
Gratis won a sweeping victory in New
York City at yesterdays off-year
election, revised returns showed to-
day.
Democratic candidates for the ten
justices of the supreme court in
Manhattan and the Bronx defeated
the candidates on the Republican
and the Observation-Disclosures
ticket, supported by William Ran
dolph Hearst, by an average plural
ity of more than 100, 900. In gen.
eral, the candidates put forward by
the Hearst organization received the
lowest votes.
The Tammany judiciary victory in
Manhattan and the Bronx carried
with it the election of municipal
judges in three districts in Manhat-
tan and two in the Bronx.
The Democratic triumph in the
other three boroughs was almost as
great. In Brooklyn, the Democratic
pluralities for the county ticket
ranged from 81 5000 to 10000 in
Queens, the pluralities ranged from
IL, 900 to 10000: in Richmond, the
pluralities were from 10, 900 to
Is, 600.
Five Republican aldermen were
defeated, three in Manhattan and
two in Brooklyn.
The Tammany tiger purred today,
not only because of the sweeping
victory yesterday, but because it had
downed William Randolph Hearst in
the judiciary contents in Manhattan
and the Bronx.
Charles f. Murphy, Tammany
chieftain, flushed with triumph, an
nounced that beginning today he
would bar the Hearst newspapers
from his home and expressed the
hope that "our decent, clean-think-
ing men and women" would do like
wise.
The statement added:
In one quarter where our cause
and our candidates had a right to
expect support and encouragement
there was nothing forthcoming but
lying and vilification. The voters
took the proper value-or lack OF
value-of these assaults, however,
and by their ballots have registered
an unmistakable rebuke."
Governor Smith, who during the
campaign made several attacks on
the "Editor-Politician," also issued
a statement expressing satisfaction
over the defeat OF the judiciary can
didates, supported by the Hearst
newspapers.

KHAN WINS AND LOSES
IN ELECTION IN OHIO

COLUMBUS o., Nov. Z (By The
Associated Press)-Ohio's first cleo
ton in which the Ku KluX Khan fig>
ured as an issue shows the organiza-
ton to have been generally victo-
rious, though in some instances 1t
met defeat.
The greatest Khan victory scored
yesterday at the polls probably was
in Youngstown where the Khan can
didate for mayor, Charles f. Schei-
BILE, apparently rolled up a majority
over the combined vote OF his five
opponents.
Two other important victories go
ing to the Klansmem were in New
ark and Portsmouth. In the former
A. Stevens probably was elected
mayor over i. d. Leach and in the
latter Ralph Calvert defeated
Mayor William N. Gableman for re-
election. Mayor Gableman caused
the arrest of more than two hundred
members of the Khan when they at
| tempted. to hold a parade less than
two weeks ago.
Probably the most important Khan
defeat was in S~teubenville where
Frank Hawkins, Republican, de-
feated Herman Passevant, indepen-
dent who had the Khan endorsement,
An anti-Klan demonstration in Steu-
benville several weeks ago when the

NEW YORK ASSEMBLY IS
WON BY REPUBLICANS

ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. 1.-THE
Republican representation in the
New York assembly, the lower house
of the legislature, was increased by
six members in yesterdays election.
The 1924 assembly will be composed
of 81 Republicans and SO Democrats.
The present assembly is made up of
81 Republicans and 60 Democrats.
The Republican gains were chiefly
made in upstate countless although
three were recorded in Greater New
York. In the Tenth New York dis
trict Phelps Phelps, Republican, cap
tured the seat of Assemblyman
Joseph T. Flynn. In the fifth district
of Kings (Brooklyn) Assemblyman
John Cashmere, Democrat, was
beaten by Joseph c. H. Flynn, Re-
publican, and in the fourth Queens
district, D.. Lacey Dayton, Republic
can, defeated Charles r. Sullivan,
Democrat. The Democrats, however,
retired two Republican assembly
men, Sol Ullman in the sixth, and
George N. Jesse in the twenty-third
New York districts. Morris Wein-
field and Nelson Ruttenberg were tn )
Democrat victors in the respective
constituencies.
III inc UP SldIe n the Re-
publicans won nine Democratic
seats, while the Democrats captured
two now occupied by Republicans
The Republican gains were made in
the following districts: Chemung,
Columbia, Erie fifth,( Oneida first.
Rensselaer, second, Rockland and
Schuyler. In the first district of
Albany and the second Onondaga
the Democrats won the places hith-
erto held by their opponents.
Soldier bonus, home rule and the
absentee voter provision, with the
proposition for a state hospital bond
issue apparently were carried in yes
terday's election. The h~ydro-elec-
trio power project and the tax debt
limit proposal seemingly were de-
feated, the first decisively.
Vote on the bonus and hospital
bond issue favored their adoption by
nearly 10 to Z generally and even
more decidedly in some cities. The
hydro-electric power project was
quite as decisively defeated, returns
indicated.
