 Some of the Republicans, how ever, expressed the view that when the official check had been made of the tallies and machines, gains sufficient to elect some of their ap- parently defeated candidates would develop. One candidate remarked that the strange results" In some of the districts tended to raise doubt over the outcome of the gem orally accepted reelection of Mayor Frank Hayes,
 On the other hand, he admitted, should discrepancies to total of 100 votes appear between the present figures and the official counts, there would be even chance that the Democrats would gain in propor- donate measure. It was his belief that "the women" beat Town Clerk Dora A. Egan, defeated for re-elec- ton in the unofficial returns by Mrs. Mary 0. Kilmartin by more than 400 votes.

the first woman officer to appear
in Detroit alone from out State

South today with her prisoner.
Miss Gaskin's appearance at
police headquarters wheer she de-
manded custody of Mrs. Ethel
Staegear, 81, named in an en-
bezzlement warrant, caused a
minor sensation. Veteran InSpec-
tor Edward Graft, who has seen
all types of outState officers from
dapper New York detectives to
bewhiSkered sheriffs, said it was
the first time a woman officer had
appeared alone to return a prs
oner.
Miss Gaskin was amazed that
her trip here should cause any
stir.
Women officers returning
prisoners must be an old South
ern custom" she said. 1--WE have
eight other women deputies and
all have gone outstate to return
prisoners"
Only 81, Miss Gaskin has been
a deputy for eight years.
