THREE TICKETS IN THE
FIELD AT NEW YORK
Democrats Put Out Two, Republiran-
Fusionlsts One.
New York. Aug. 10.—A Republi
can fusion ticket was definitely placed
in the field today to fight the winner
of the Walker-Hylan contest in the
Democratic primaries for New York's
mayoralty.
After an unusually hectic day in
what has been one of New York's
keenest political campaigns definite
slates were selected by Democratic
adherents for Mayor Hylan and by
the Republican executive eommitee.
The three slates now selected abound
in picturesque figures who long have
played a leading part in New York’s
political and business life.
The Republican-fusion ticket in
cludes :
For mayor—Frank D. Waterman,
Republican.
For comptroller—James F. Fine
gan. Democrat.
For president of the board of alder
will fight it out in the*primaries are:
The Tammany slate:
For mayor—State Senator James J.
■Walker.
For comptroller—Major General
Charles W. Berry.
For president of the board of al
derman—City Court Justice Joheps
V. McKee.
The Hylan slate:
For mayor—Mayor John F. Hylan.
For comptroller—William E. (Big
Bill) Edwards.
For president of the board of aider
man—William A. Cokely.
The fight within the Democratic
ranks has assumed more threatening
proportions. Opposition to the selec
tion of Mayor Hylan has been ex
pressed by Democratic leaders in
Brooklyn and Richmond who say
they will support Senator Walker
in the primaries. They have charac
terized the struggle as one between
"Smith and Hearst” in which they
will support Governor Smith and
Senator Walker. Hylan Democrats,
however, minimize the importance of
this dissention.
MOVIE PATRONS HAVE
FIRE SCARE LAST NIGHT
Smoke From New York Case Blows
Into Concord Theatre, Causing
Alarm In Audience
Persons attending the Monday
night show at the Concord Theatre
had a fire scare which sent many In
the audience dashing out of the place
and into the street.
The scare came about as a result
of smoke which came from the eihm
noy of the New York Case. Rags
were being burned in the stove of
the restaurant, making a heavy
smoke, and the wind blew this smoke
directly toward the theatre.
On the side of the movie build
ing which adjoins the New York
Case is a huge fan which ventilates
the theatre. This fan caught up the
smoke and sent it swirling into the
interior of the structure, causing
the fire alarm to be started.
Manager Meriweather assured the
jiersons who were leaving the show,
that the fire was not in tlfe building,
declaring that it was impossible to
burn a strucLire of steel nnd brick,
He explained the workings of the fan
and soon aftenvard, had his audience
again in their seats.
It is understood that steps have
been taken to construct the chimney
at the New York Case ( higher so
that in the future, there will be no
■ltossibility of another scare snob as
the one last ( night. It is said that
this chimney will be raised e'ght feet
which will put it well out of reach of
tho fan.

ADOPTION OF SPAS
GIRL IS ANNULLED
Surrogate Noble of Queens Says the
Girl Misrepresented Her Age to
Browning.
(By the Associated Press)
New York, Aug. 11.—Thp adoption
of Mary Louise Spas by Edward W.
Browning, millionaire real estate op
erators. was annulled today by Sur
ivgufe Ndble of Qheenk.'on’the grolnS3
that the girl had misrepresented her
age.
The age issue was the only one pre
sented by District Attorney New
conibe, who entered a motion for re
vocation.
Mary was present, as was alsos her
foster father, when the surrogate's de
cision was announced. The girl show
ed little emotion.
Apparently abandoning her inten
tion to enter a convent, Mary return
ed to lief home in Astoria when she
left the court house. A large erowd
of curious people waited in the little
building and crowded square outside
from an early hour this morning to
witness the final act in the “Cinder
ella” romance.
Mary and her parents agreed to
tlie annulment, the text of the agree
ment containing a provision that the
girl was not the participant in any
rights ns hear to the fortune of Mr.
Browning. Her relatives also bound
themselves not to bring suit against
Mr. Browning or his heirs.
GIRL GONE. BROWING
WOULDN’T GIVE PENNY
He Is Through, Doesn’t Care Where
She Is—She Sells Romance Story
For #SOO.
New York. Aug. 10.—Final pre
parations were made today for the
severance of legal relations between
Mary Louise Spas Browning, would
be modern Cinderella, and Edward
A. Browning, wealthy real estate
operator, and disillusioned fairy god
father.
Mr. Browning held a conference
with Queens county authorities nnd
District Attorney Newcombe and an
nounced that tomorrow he will pres
ent a petition for the annulment of
the adoption on the ground that the
girl deceived Mr. Browning into be
lieving her only 16 years old when
she was actually 21.
The girl left the home of Mr.
Browning’s secretary last night, but
since she departed with the agent
of n syndicate for which she intended
to write the story of her brief ro
mance little concern was felt con
cerning the fact that her where
abouts remained a mystery today.
Mr. Browning’s secretary offered a
reward of SSOO for her discovery, but
Mr. Browning denied this was done
on his orders.
“I wouldn't pay a cent to get her
back.” he said, “I don't know where
she is and I don’t care. She sold her
self to a newspaper for SSOO and I
am through.”
Dr. Joseph F. Cliihan. the physi
cian who attended Mary Louis when
she took poison in Mr. Browning's
apartment, after her claim that she
was 10 years old had been question
ed, said today the allegged suicide at
tempt was a deliberate bluff.
