GRANTS CR0KER'S
/ DAUGHTERS PLEA
Court to Admit Testimony
Accusing Widow of Illegal
Marriage.
BY the Associa ted Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DUBLIN, May 17.-The court of ap-
peal has granted Mrs Ethel c. Whites
plea to intervene in a probate action
against Mrs. Bula Croker, widow of
Richard Croker. formerly Tammany
Hall chiefSain. on the ground of new
evidence Of fraud alleged against Mrs
Croker. Mrs. White is a daughter of
the late Mr.. Croker, with a residence
at Cedar Hurst, N. Y. Her counsel,
William Jellett, read from the plea
as follows:
Prior to and at the date Of her
pretended marriage to Richard cro-
ker deceased, Bula Croker was the
lawful wife OF Guy r. Marone. Of
which fact Richard Croker was then
and during the rest of his life wholly
ignorant"
The plea further stated that by
such fraudulent concealment" Bula
Croker induced Richard Croker to
execute his will Of October, 1919, and
prejudiced his mind and kept him
from intercourse with his children
MIR. Jellett also gave details relau-
Ing to the alleged marriage Lord
Chief Justice Moloney, in handing
down his decision. said the court
would allow the plea Of fraud, and
that 1t must be filed with particulars
the costs of both parties to be the
costs in the cause.

KLAN VICTORIOUS
At Ohio ELECTION
In Youngstown K. K. K. Candidate
for Mayor Is Chosen

BY The Associated Press.
Columbus, o., Nov. 7.--Ohio's first
election in which the Ku Klux Khan
figured as an issue shows the organi-
cation to have been generally victor
ious though in some instances II met
defeat.
The greatest Khan victory scored
yesterday at the polls probably was IN
Youngstown where the Khan candi-
date for mayor. Charles j. Scheible,
apparently rolled up a majority over
the combined vote of his five oppon-
ents. Two other important victories
going to the klansmen were in New
ark and Portsmouth. In the former.
4. Stevens probably was elected
mayor over +. ID. Leah, and in the lat
ter Ralph Calvert defeated Mayor
William n. Gableman, for reelection.
Gableman caused the arrest of more
than two hundred members OF the
Khan when they attempted to hold
a parade less than two weeks ago.
Khan Lose at StuebenVille,
Probably the most important Khan
defeat was in Stuebenville, where

who had the Khan endorsement. An
anti-klan demonstration in Stueben-
Vile several weeks ago when the or
ga nization attempted to hold a pa

Another Khan defeat apparently
was registered in the indicated ndop-
ton of the executive franchise amend
mcnt TO the state constitution, The
proposes to strike out the
words "white male" in the qualifca-
tion of voters In order to make the
state constitution conform TO the fed

The Khan also opposed the other
proposals on the ball

adopted. This would authorize the
