Marked by keen rivalry between the two factions now making up the United Italian Republican club, the annual election of officers of the organization took place last night in g. o. p. headquarters. Louis D. Schiavone was reelected presi- dent over his opponent, Anthony Pe- trillo. About 2S0 votes were boiled.
 The election of officers of the club took on the importance, practically, of general city election. Three weeks ago when the club met to nominate officers the session be- came so heated that it broke up in battle. Therefore, the bitter feeling between the two factions caused keen rivalry in yesterdays election.
 However, the present faction in power was victorious in the ballot ing. Frank Rossi defeated Peter DeCicco in the contest for first vice. president and Pasquale Guerrero de- feated Vito Mole for the office of second vice president.
