Legislation to Apply to Tenants Compelled to Sign Lease and to Non-Leaseholders. By Sophie Irene Loeb. ‘The most important point for the special legislative seasion next week now being considered by Gov. Smith and the Legislative Housing Commit- tee is the immediate enaatment of some statutes that will take care of the thousands of people who will have to meet the housing Issue Oct. 1, 1920. While various remedial propositions are being devised in the interest of future building and adjustments of rent, the most vital problem s what's to be done Oct. 1, to which time thou- snnde of people have been holding off, not knowing what to do. The existing laws have been so in- terpreted and manipulated that in In- numerable cases the landlords have exceeded the 25 per cent. Increase which has been deemed to be reas- onable, and under threat of dispos- session have in many cases increased 4o more than 100 per cent. Such action has proved a great tm- position and hardship on this class of Jeaseholders. In crder to alleviate these conditions, legislation, to take effect Oct. 1, 1920, to embody the fol- lowing items, is being urged: 1, Where new | s dated frdm Oct. 1, 1920, exceed any fair in- crease in rental, such increase shall be subject to review by Mu- nicipal judg The present law feature dealing with reasonable may be continued as of judicial awards, nt of ex- cess by a tenant to the Justice of the Municipal Court the Justice shall have power to sus- pend the payment of the increase until the case has been fully di posed of, 3.

In front of No, 187 Union Street she left the carriage and the child while she went upstairs to seo [i¢ her friend, Mrs, Fannte Clemente, was in, When she came down, only a few minutes later, the little girl, Clara, twenty months old, was gone.

Aart, IN BROOKLYN ~ SURPRISING |Ex-Judge Nominated for Gov- ernor, but the Machine Gets a Hard Jolt. | WADSWORTH A WINNER. by Democrats, Leading Lunn Over 2 to 1. Surprises in the results of yester- day's State-wide primaries are found in the falling off in the vote through- out the State, the comparatively lange vote of Senator George F. Thompson in this race for the Gubernatorial nom- ination against Nathan L. Miller, and the overthrow of Jacob Livingston, the Republican boss of Brooklyn. Only one woman was nominated for @ State office by the major ‘parties— Miss Harriet May Mills was named for Secretary of State by the Demo crats, Two Republican women candi- dates for Congress were defeated. With results in 1,622 up-State dis- tricts unreported, Miller has a total vote of 206,479 to 109,879 for Thomp- son, giving him a lead of 85,686, This is a total of 216,858 votes cast in yes- terday's primaries, as Compared with 414,309 cast in the Republican prima- rica two years ago. That Thompson who bolted from the unofficial State convention at Saratoga when Miller was “desiz- nated” by the machine should have polled so large a vote in the State was a complete surprise to the Ro- publican machine, but his vote in Now York City was the greatest sur- prise of all, Miller carried the city by only 13,944, but he lost Brooklyn and Queens, REVOLT IN BROOKLYN AGAINST A BOSS. In Brooklyn the voters broke away from Boss Jacob Livingston and gave the Borough to Thompson by a majority of 1,593. In Queens Thomp- son had a lead of 292, Thompson carried four out of the fifty-seven up-State Counties—NI- agara, Chemung, Suffolk and Yates. In his home county of Niagara Thompson leads by more than 1,300 and he olosely pressea Miller in Schenectady and Sullivan Counties.
