WON'T MARRY AWARD IF DIAMOND COVERED
Miss WenzlOff Puts Stop to Talk of Romance With
 Man in Jail

II Harry E. Award of 2S8 Park street, is building a castle in the air about his marriage to Lillian Nenzloff of 14l2 East street, this city, when he is freed from jail he IS due for severe shock. He has said that he will make Miss Wenzloff his bride.
 "I wouldn't marry him if he was hung with diamonds" said Miss Wenzloff to a Herald reporter today.
 There isn't a spark of manhood in him."
 Award is serving a sentence of 60 days in New Haven county jail for issuing a "rubber' check for $50 to the Toggery Shop in Meriden. He was released from Hartford county Jall Monday after serving one year tor passing worthless check on a Hartford company. Since 1924 he has been prominent in the public prints. He disappeared in June, 1924. with 15-year-old Poquonock girl and in December of that year he and the girl were arrested in Quebec, Canada. He did two years for that at Wethersfield. Before that escapade he had been arrested for bigamy but the marriage was annulled and he was placed on pro- bation. He has also been behind the bars for obtaining goods under false pretenses from Windsor merchants. Add to this record the fact that when he is released from the New Haven jail he must go to Washing ton to face a charge of violating the Mann act. being held in $3,0o0 bonds for that crime.
 Miss Wenzloff met Award on Christmas eve, 1926, and they soon grew to love each other. She did not know he had a wife and three children. Upon his promise to marry her, Miss Wenzloff went south with him and he was arrested in Wash ington.
 He was always gentlemanly in his conduct until we got out of town" Miss Winsloff said today. Then he showed himself in his true colors. Several times he threatened to kill me and at atstimes he carried a revolver. I always lived in fear of him. When he was arrested told the police I intended to marry him but said that only to prevent him from going to prison. I don't intend to marry him. I never want to see him again. I have suffered terribly from the publicity I have received and I just want to forget him and the mistake I made of trusting him."

STEAMER IS DELAYED
Fall River Liner Plymouth With 800 on Board Held Up by Broken Shaft Near New York Dock.

New York. April II Rp-Five hum dred passengers of the Fall River Line steamer Plymouth were delayed more than an hour in landing this morning. The main shaft snapped when the steamer was less than q mile from it's dock in the North river.
 Few of the passengers were aware of the accident. beyond observing that engines and paddlewheel had stopped. Captain R. w. Robinson summoned tugs by sounding the whistle and the vessel was soon in tow.
 Officials of the line said that it would take nearly a month to replace the broken shaft, which was 30 inches in diameter.
 Another steamer will replace the Plymouth tomorrow night so that only one sailing will be missed.

Small, Grove and Mayor Himself Swamped by Ballots of RecOrd-Break- ing Proportions.

Chicago. April II Rl-Rising in mighty revolt against the political faction headed by Governor Small and Mayor Thompson of Chicago. republicans of Illinois yesterday buried them under an avalanche of hostile ballots that swelled to record breaking proportions today as belat- cd returns piled up the totals.
 Swamped under the load of bal lots with their America first ban ner as the Small-Thompson Grove candidate for governor, the fac- 1ional candidate for United States senator. all the candidates for lesser state offices, the factional leader running for states attorney in Cook county and even Mayor Thompson himself who was defeated for ward committeeman.
 Deneen Wins
 Emerging victorious from the hot test and most acrimonius primary campaign was almost an entire slate sponsored by United States Senator Charles S. Deneen with heads of the ticket carrying majorities ex- iected to reach or exceed 400, 900 votes.
 Virtually the only solace the Small-Thompson-Crowe faction ob- tained was control of the republican machine in Cook county and nomin- ations to a few minor offices in the county while Representative Martin B. Madden. sponsored by this fac ton had won over William Dawson, his negro opponent.
 Len Small. two-term governor seeking republican renomination at the head of Mayor Thompson's America first" ticket, was crushed under the ballot-loaded roller which tIattened his political ambitions as thoroughly in Cook county (Chi- cago) as it did downstate.
 Grove Fallen
 Robert Emmett Grove, who prose- cuted Loeb and Leopold and who personified the America first" as pirations of Mayor Thompson in Cook county. apparently had fallen in his attempt to mount the third term step of states attorney.
 Even the mayor himself. not candidate for any post more i'm portant than committeeman of his home ward, seemed to have lost the solace even of that slight victory.
