The tickets only appeal to vot- CTS of Irish extraction is MT. Bane, who has run for office several times in the past and whose only success came when he was elected to the board of aldermen two years ago after having failed in bids for more important positions.
 The Italian vote is sought through the placing on the ticket of Anthony Petrillo as candidate for tax collector. The popular Fen- ton Niver, who has a considerable following among World War veter- ans, was dropped because he dared to support Mayor Perriello for the nomination for mayor. Several other Republican aldermen were allowed to remain on the ticket. Through a rare coincidence, these men all voted with the organiza- ton.

 whatever the eventual effects of the pact, 1t had certainly fingered Nazis thoroughly. Responsible in- formants used such phrases as Tur- key is playing with fire" and Tur- key Is abandoning the neutrality" and said that a retort from Ger many and Italy-still linked with Germany as the southern end of the axis would not be long in conn ing,
 Some Nazis said that the pact was aimed against Germany and Italy, some that 1t was against Italy and Russia.
 Cautiously, however, the same sources that showed frankly their resentment at the treaty, continued today to try to minimize its im- portance to the allies. They pointed out that Turkey was safeguarded against the possibility of going to war against Russia, and expressed doubt that the pact represented the will of the Turkish people. They hinted that though Turkey might aid the allies, the allies could moi aid Turkey in an emergency any more than they had aided Poland.
 The authoritative diplomatic and political correspondence said that the western powers would gair nothing from the pact except the possibility of spreading war to the near east.
 "It is stated specifically that the | treaty is not directetd against any country" commented the publica.
 tion. Previous utterances by all partners, however, had revealed clearly against whom possible n1ili- tary cooperation in the Mediterra- ne an was actually directed . So fal as Great Britain is concerned the main point of this treaty is directed by turned Turkey against the opin' against Germany. Britain has there ion of the funder of her state (ths late Renal Ataturk) in favor of thu independent status of the nev
 Turkey-a new Turkey regarding I which 9he emphasized the import ance of friendly relations with Ger

 The well-informed Hamburgel
 Tremdenblatt argued that the treat!
 was really directed against Italy ari'
 Russia.

So the organization delegates were told to vote for MT. Foster, at the expense of such stronger can- didates as John M. Burrall or Mayor Perriello. But when 1t came to the city convention two or the organization delegates baked, and voted for John J. Bergin rather than Homer Bernier. Thus came the deadlock over the city clerk ship nomination, without any car1- didate being named.
 Many feel that MT. Upson would have shown better judgment If he waived the chances of victory for his choice for the nomination and had allowed the convention to name MT. Bergin. MT. Upson not only refused to do this but a day or two before had given the s'thumbs down" signal to the can- didacy of John w. McGurk, arl- other aspirant for the nomination for city clerk.

 The Japanese navy issued new regulations covering the display of street signs and billboards in Jap- anese occupied portions of the in- ternational settlement.

RUSSIA DENIES
 PACT IS SPLIT
(Continued from Page D

(COnttrlued rom rage 1) cessful attempt was made, through parallel pacts between the Soviet Union and Turkey on one hand and between Britain, France and Turkey on the other hand, to draw the Soviet Union into a combination directed chiefly against Germany and the eventual adversaries of Britain and France in the Mediterranean zone.
 "The Soviet Union, true to its pol icy of peace and protection of the interests of the Soviet state, proved able, timely and correctly, to eval- uate the Anglo-French diplomatic move based upon gambling on the traditional friendship between Tur- key and the Soviet Union. Plans Thwarted hThe clear and determined posi- ton of the Soviet Union thwarted the artful plans of those who at- tempted once more to fan enmity between Germany and the Soviet Union."
 Then Izvestia analysed the three- power pact in detail and showed the Rus asnioficial resentment at the course events had taken. "It goes without saying" said the newspaper, that the new Anglo French Turkish treaty creates a new balance of power in the Mediter- ranean.
 "The Soviet Union. being the greatest Black sea power, must keep @ watchful eye on everything re- lated ot the approaches to the Black sea.
 Direct Interests Unaffected
 "The Anglo French Turkish treaty does not affect the direct interests of the Soviet Union. Turkeys uli- dertakings are defined with abso- lute clarity in a protocol appended to the treaty Turkey is not bound. to participate in any action which may involve her in war with the So- viet Union.
 Tn the final analysis the Anglo French Turkish treaty can not be regarded as an instrument of peace. It testifies to the fact that Britain and France drew Turkey into the orbmit of war. Under this treaty Turkey is pledged to fight on the side of Britain and France against Germany and Italy.
 Tt is said that the Soviet Union may lose as the result of this alli- ance of Turkey with the Anglo French coalition. This, of course, is wrong. The Soviet Union did not join this bloc and preserved its neu- trality and a free hand. This is cer- tainly good from the viewpoint of preservation of peace.
 However, the same can not be said of Turkey. She has assumed such responsibility as can not but tell upon her policy m the very near fu- ture.
 At any rate the Soviet Union has no ground to regret what has hap pened."

took by IS votes. The claims of Culhane supporters that he would win the first three wards failed to be borne out by the voting.
 The state troopers were called in by States Attorney William B. Fitz- gerald, after complaints by the Cul- hane forces of alleged irregularities. Deputy Superintendent Daniel J. Carson of the police department offered no objection though he in. sisted that order was being pre- served by the local police. The state policemen reported to local police headquarters and then were assign- ed to the various districts. In some cases moderators reIused to allow the state policemen into the voting places.
 Troopers On Hand
 The troopers remained on hand in the voting places while tellers were tabulating the results and while the boxes were being sealed and signed. The ballot boxes were then taken to police headquarters and locked up.
 There was more activity shown during the five-hour primary than in some recent city elections here. Cars were scurrying back and forth from the voting places, and workers for each side were busily engaged in checking names.
 The campaign had been fought vigorously by both sides. Each carl- didate was on the air several times, and each had formed a strong or. ganization to back him. Workers for each group canvassed the entire list of registered Democrats.
 Had Good Backing
 MT. Scully had the campaign backing of the Democratic town committee and the reorganization group within the party. Heading his supporters were Town Chairman William H. Dunlavey and State Chairman J. Francis Smith.
 The complaints made during the progress of the balloting were based mainly on allegations that workers were handing out ballots within the 75-foot limit and that attempts were being made to force ballots for one side or the other on persons going in to vote.
 The great interest shown by reg istered Democrats led party leaders to feel confident that the party will emerge victorious from the city election Nov. IA. They feel sure that the Democrats will win by a sub- stantial margin over the other tickets in the field.
 MT. Scully, after brief rest, will open . vigorous campaign for the mayoralty. am

the late Martin Scully, who was mayor of the city for two terms and associated with The Democrat for many years, won the five wards by the following majorities: list, 56; 2d, 300; 3d, $50; 4th, l58; 5th, 443.
 MT. Scully gained his heaviest vote in the fifth ward but his mar gin there, 1888 to 1,1s5, was not quite as great as expected. How ever, his margin in the third ward which he took by 1,421 to 871, was surprisingly high. The first ward was the closest of the five, and Mn scully won the second and fourth by comfortable margins.

 Several passengers said George Schwerdtfger, 54, @ bedroom stew ard, had saved seven passengers from certain death. They were sit- ting on the port side of the prome- made deck, the backs of their chairs against the wall. The wave struck the port side, but 1t was dark and the passengers did not see 1t com ing. It swept them through Q double doorway onto the starboard side, where they pied up under a lifeboat, precariously close to the edge of the ship.
 Schwerdtfger ran out, seized TO- year-old Mrs. William Buckner, by the heels just as she was going over, and hauled her back. Then he dragged the other six to safety one at a time.

If the Upson-Pape ticket fails to sweep the city then Republicans will be able to place the responsi- bility for their failure without any too much trouble. The leadership undoubtedly gave it's selections very serious consideration, but whether their nominees will win is something that only the voters decide three weeks from Tuesday.
 The bitterness against MT. Upson is widespread. particularly among Republicans of Italian descent. It would not be too surprising to see many of this group voting for either the Democratic or Socialist candidates. And this group is only one of the Republican factions in revolt
