VOTE COUNT DELAY
ASSAILED BY COURT
Judge Audonriod Declares'
"Loose and False" Petitions
Will Not Be Tolerated
JUDGE LOSES THIRTY VOTES
,.Tndgc Audenried toilny took n definite
Stand against the tnetics of delnv prac j
tlced by Vare attorneys since the
primary election count began
Aroused by one petition nid to lie
flagrantly fnhc, the lodge, who with
Judge Ferguson, is sitting ns nn olee
tlon return bonril, declnred thnt "loo'-e i
and false'' petitions will not be
tolerated.
The flnre enme with the filinc of n
petition niined lit the count in the first
division of the Thirty-third wnrd. It
was presented by Henry H. I-'nrlcy, nn
attorney representing the Vare or
ganization. The petition set forth that in the di
vision nmiicd Judge Patterson had been
credited with only one vote, wheicns it
"wns stnted he had ree'ved UT.'i votes.
Opening of the divisional ballot-box
was requested.
Judge Audeiiried referred to the tally
Bhects for the division. An oinniiun
tion showed him that Judge Patterson
had been credited ninrially with L'71
votes in that division.
The court summoned Mr. Farley for
an explanation. The attorney said the
petition wns based on figures obtained
from thp police returns.
Bending forwnrd in his chair, Judge
Audenried said :
"We should not be retarded in our
work here by petitions based on such
false and foolish statements. If any
more petitions ns loose and false ns
this are presented we will get after
the people who mnkc out the petitions."
Although the judge made mi direct
reference to the possibility of prosecu
tions, lawyers in the room interpreted
his remarks ns a hint that the dis
trict attorney's office would be apprised
of the facts.
A net gnin of nine votes was credited
to the Moore plurality in a ballot re
count for the twenty -first division.
Thirty-eighth ward. The -addition
brought the coiign soman's net gain fin
the day to torty-thrce.
Judge Patterson lost thirty votes in
the recount of the eighth division of
the Thirty -fifth wnrd. three votes in
the eighth division of the Forty -first
Ward nud one vote in the first division
of the Forty -first. Hobert E. I.nmbcr
ton, independent candidate for nomina
tion for sheriff, lost five votes in the
thirteenth division of the Forty-first
vard.
A number of election officials in the'1
Forty-first ward were sent for today to
explain discrepancies in the tally sheets.
The boxes for ten divisions in the
Tenth, Forty-second, Forty-third and
Forty -six th wards were sent out of the
room for a recount.'the smallest number
since the official computation began.
AYhile the count for the second divi
sion of the Forty - first wnrd was under
way, nr. fancy, the attorney, pro
tested at thevjibsence of the unused
Killots for tlinf division. They had not
been accounted for. The court sent for
(die election officials of the division.
The tally for the thirty-seventh di
vision of the Fortieth wnrd showed five
more votes for Judge Patterson than he
should have received, acenrding to the
official check. Harry AVittig. who is
Watching the tabulation for the Re
publican Alliance, called the court's
attention to the error, which was
promptly rectified.

back to camp and had the woman held

The story as brought out lij Red Cro-s
Investigators is a super-romance of a
young woman who claims she wns a
nurse in the war. a Belgian refugee, an
ox-Cennnn captive, and, according to
her confession to Detective McFarland,
the wife of four other service men.,
Suspicions of the Red Cross were
aroused when Private King, who was
wounded in the ankle with shrapnel
and machine-gun fire, limped
into
headquarters
at 1111" Walnut street.
ami asked for transportation for him
self and his "bride" to the hospital at
Dix.
They gave him money and then in
vestigated his story.
Will Appear Against Her
They learned, iiccoriling, to Mrs.
Blanche Thatcher, of the American Red
('Mss, that the young womau he said
was his wife really only planned to
become his wife. A marriage license
was to have been issued yesterday. This
tilt' Red Cross prevented. Today the
young woman's landlady swore out a

"The woman had drawn $1."0 of his
back pay." said Mrs. Thatcher, "and
cuine to Philadelphia. I do not belieie
that she was a refugee. Her marriage
to the Russian was real enough, how
ever, and a girl who came up with her
from Norfolk told us that she tore up
three other wedding certificates.
Says Knur Deserted Her
According to (he story which "Mrs.
Suwyer" told the police, she was "look
ing for an honest man." She tried
four, lint they all deserted her, accord

men.
The first was Henry Spilski, the
Russian sailor. They were married

Next came a Frenchman, Jules Tuk

Newport News. In Julj she became
the bride of Robnt Tiiftin. This was
her fourth venture and wns made in
llaltiiuore.
A week ago she met Private King,
hobbling along Market street on his
crutches. He looked honest to her and
she asked his hand in marriage. That
is King's version of it, told tndav be

"I didn't consent, though, judge,"
said King. "I put her off and would

For this reason he is dallying with
the MacLaiighlln ticket so far ns the
names of Hazlett nnd Knight nrc con
cerned. As soon ns he is satisfied that
the Independents do not contemplate
such n trick and the time for pre
empting party linmes is past, he will
give the word to Hazlett nnd Knight and
their names will disappear from the
hybrid ticket.
Senator Vare, John II. K. Scott and
two or three more of the inner council
nt "Fleventli and Chestnut," I believe,
would like to see the Moore people pre
empt an additional party nnme. The at
tempted delay In the official count hns
seemingly had this object in view.
If the Independents would only fnll
Into the trap, as they have not done,
It would nfford an excuse for the Vnrc
people nlso to pre-empt a name, place
upon Its ticket the pick of their defeated
candidates and try to fight the primary
battle over again.
TIchet to lie Regular
lint the Independents, as I happen
to know, are going to abide by the re
sult, of the primaries and the official
count. The Moore ticket will lie the
Republican ticket, and it will contain
the name of every successful primary
candidate, whether he he of Vare or of
Moore. In this net Ion they arc going
to have the honest support of such reg
ulars as David II. Lane, Senator Mar
tin, Charles It. Hall. Senator Patton,
Harry W. Mackey, Congressman Cob
tcllo and other wise regular leaders.
There is a reason for such an action
on the part of these leaders. The Mnc
Lnughlln ticket represents nothing ex
cept irresponsible leadership. It docs'
not represent the Independent voters,
for they will not desert the ticket they
selected nt the primaries.
The Moore ticket represents n com
bination of Independent Itepubllcnus,
It hns permanent organization at its
back. Its leaders have demonstrated
their political sagacity. Above all, it
will be the regular Republican ticket,
which represents a movement for n
better city government und n better
Republican party.
As soon as Senator Vare and his ad
visers accept the conclusion that there
is neither trickery nor bad faith con
templated by the Independent leuders,
which will he after nest Tuesday, their
troubles will end, their organization be
relieved of the suspicion of backing n
movement to injure the regular ticket,
nnd the MnoLaughlin personnl aggran
dizement scheme placed before the pub
lic in its proper light.

AWAIT ITALIANJVARSHIP
Conte dl Cavour In River Expected
Here Late Today'
Conte di Cavour, the Italian dread
nought and first Italian warship to visit
American ports since the beginning of
the war, is expected to dock here this
afternoon.
The vessel is nosing her way up the
Delaware through i, mist thnt threatens
to compel anchorage before nlghtfnll.
Such n condition would throw con
sternation into a reception committee of
Italian residents, men nnd women, nnd
representatives of the war camp com
munity service and the Italian com
mittee of the Emergency Aid,
Headed by John Di Silvestro. chair-
man, this delegation paced impatiently
me uecKs or tne police boat Ashbriilge
at Race street wharf.
The Firemen's Hand, led bv Nicholas
Heard, mustered on the nfterdeck of the
tug. discoursed the Italian national nir,
lively waltz tunes and other music to
enliven the delay.
The start was scheduled for 1 :I10
o'clock, but hours went by without defi
nite word of the war vessel's where
abouts, and Chairman Di Silvestro was
unable to say whether or not the re
ception trip would be abandoned.
Pretty Italian girls nnd matrons
waved Itallnn and American flags or
sported badges bearing the red, white
and green. Two airships, in opposite
directions, purred triumphantly a they
soared above the waiting committee
boat. The northbound flier might hav
told the whereabouts of the Cdnte di
Cavour, had he so desired.
Down at Arch street another delega
tion planning nn unofficial welcome
gathered. This party, more democratic,
ate hokey-pokey, flaunted flags of red.
white and green, with n binds facsiinllo
of the battleship ami the jnooto "Viva

' Flags of all nations flapped from the
Ashbridge's rigging, while American
nnd Itnlian flags were festooned along
tne sines.
The Conte di Cavour will be in Phlla
delphla eleven days. Elaborate enter

SUGAR ECONOMY
TO SAVE SITUATION
Head of Refinery Says Panicky
Buying Will Make National
Problem Worso
MAY PRFPARF MFW I flWS
MAT r'ttbr'AMt NtW LHWO
"Economic use of sugnr nnd normal
purchases on the part of the house
wife will help the sugar equalization
board see thnt the country's sugar sup
ply is .properly distributed.
"On the other hand, n panicky con
dition, with ntirmpts to purchase great
quantities of sugnr, will, of course,
produce only thhe utmost confusion."
John A. McCarthy, president of the
Pennsylvania Sugnr Refining Compnny
nnd n member of (he sugar contract
allocation committee, made this state
ment today in discussing the. sugar
situation.
Mr. McCarthy deplored the alarmist
statements which bnvo appeared re
cently predicting n sugar fnminc nnd
high prices In 1020.
"Publicity of Ihis sort is the Riirest
means of creating n panic," said Mr.
McCarthy. "The sugar equalization
board has the innttcr in charge nnd can
be relied on to work out n solution that
will be fair to every one.
"If every householder needing 'a coal
scuttle went out nnd bought 100 scuttles
instead of one, there would not be
enough galvanized iron in the country
to meet the demand. The same thing
holds true of sugar."
Reports from Washington indicate
thnt the question of new laws regulntlng
(he distribution of sugar so fnr remains
unsettled. William A. Glasgow, Jr.,
of this city, chief counsel for the food
administration, hns been asked whether
he would be willing to help the Depart
ment of Justice frame additional legis
lation should it be decided that this is
necessary. Mr. Glasgow is holding him
self ready should it lie determined on.
It is pointed out by men familiar with
the situation in Washington that Presi
dent Wilson has not taken sides in the
sugar controversy. The sugar equaliza
tion board goes out of office at the end of
the present yenr. There is a difference
of opinion among officials interested in
the, sugar questiou ns to whether the
board should be perpetuated. Many
argue thnt the government should not
continue to exercise control over food
commodities longer thnn is absolutely
necessary. Others believe the world
situntioii in regard to sugar is such that
for the prtsent the government should
retain its control nf the sugnr market.
Mr. Glasgow today admitted that he
had agreed to help draw up any neces
sary legislation, but said his position
as counsel for the food administration
mnde it improper for him to discuss the
situation.
I'nder orders from Todd Daniel, in
vestigators of the Department of Justice
today began tracing sugur from the
refinery to the retailer to determine if
any hoarding Is going on. They were
Instructed to go into the matter thor
oughly. This action followed n lengthy
conference Inte yesterday in the office
of United States Attorney Kane.
ROBBED INJUTOMOBILE
Police Search for Two Men and Two
Women Blamed
Two men and two women are being
sought today by the police, following a
sensational story told by Mrs. Rosa
Santa Ponns, Helginn refugee, that she

Broad street ten room, taken to a lonely

then thrust from the car, after she had
been robbed of two diamond rings and
$2," in money.
Mrs. Ponns said that she had been
employed at 210 South Broad street for
some time and had often se'en the two
men nnd two women there.
"One of the women offered to take
me home in the nutomobile last night,"
said Mrs. Ponns today, "and I went
with the party. But instead of going
to my home in Mount Vernon street,
near Twentieth, they took me out on
the Northeast boulevard. There one of
the men seized me from behind while the
other robbed me.
"Then I was shoved from the car and
the four rode away.' J

BAY STATE G. 0. P.
Senator Forced to Accept Plat
form Urging Treaty "With
out Amendment"
RESERVATIONS ARE FAVORED
Boston, Oct. 4. The Republican
stnte convention todny declnred unan
imously In favor of prompt ratifica
tion of the peace treaty without
amendment, but with "unequivocal
nnd effective reservations" to safeguard
the interests of' the ITtilted Stntes. This
action was taken amid n storm of np
plnuse. Senator Henry Cnbot Lodge was com
mended in (ho resolutions for "broad
nnd far-sighted sln(esmanshlp" and
"his cfforls to bring nbout prompt ac
tion on the treaty" were indorsed.
Lodge Defends Vote for Amendment
Thnt the attitude expressed in the
resolutions toward the league of nations
had been nn overnight compromise wns
made obvious when Senator Lodge wns
introduced. Ho received the greatest
demonstration of the day.
"I nm glad," he said, "that you
adopted the platform without debate.
With the statement of rescrvntions I
nm in full accord.
"I ncccpt the platform. I hnve no
desire to discuss it, but on that portion
of the resolutions embodied in the two
words 'without amendments' I wish to
express my opinion. I have already
voted for amendments."
Here the senator was interrupted
with n noisy demonstration, nfter which
ho continued:
"I voted for the nmendments that
have been presented. 1 voted for them
in 'the committee and in Senate. I
voted-us I believe to be right. 1 will
continue to so vote. 1 would have so
voted if I voted aloue.
"In your resolutions you condemn
the Shnntung provision. It turned 40,
000,000 peaceable and friendly people,
our allies in the war, over to Japan for
an indefinite period. I will never vote
to do thnt. I ennnot consent to give
to nny other nntiou the power to send
to war the people of the Putted Stntea
without the free nction of Congress.
Hind of League He Wanted
"I wanted a league of nations found
ed on The Hague convention. 1 wanted
to sec nn international court and
judges. What have we got? Apolitical
alliance und nothing more; the repre
sentatives of nations voting iu the ex
pediency of their own countries. They
nil got great advantages in the matter
of territory and otherwise, except the
United Stntes.
"We got nothing and 1 nm glad of it.
But as we asked nothing certainly we
have n right to ssy what our burden
shnll be. I am not disturbed by the
threat of Isolation. You can't isolate
the United Stntes.
"I am not impressed with the plea
that if the treaty falls it will be neces
sary to reassemble the peace confer
ence, it is nlrendy assembled. They
nrc in Paris now. 1 think that at
whatever council table the I'nited States
sits her vote should be the equal of
that of any other nntiou."
Senator Lodge also declared thnt he
would vote for reservations assuring the
United States exclusive voice on the
questions of the Monroe Doctrine and
immigratiou.
"Unless the reservations I have speci
tied nre adopted," he said, "the treaty
is dead.
As the senator concluded the nearly
1200 delegates came to their feet shout
ing and clapping their hands lu a noisy
and prolonged demonstration,
Inability of the committee on reso
lutions of the Democratic state conven
tion to agree on its attitude, toward the
league of untions caused delay in open
ing the convention this afternoon.
The resolutions committee eventually
agreed on n plank which Chairman Jo
seph B. Ely, of Westllcld, said provided
for self-determination for smnll nn
tions. This plank, it wns said, was
satisfactory to the Irish supporters.
