BECKER WILL SUBMIT LAST PLEA FOR LIFE
Attorney Says He Will Offer Statement That Ought to Win His Client's Release.
NEW YORK, June 19—Charles Becker's plea to Governor Whitman for executive clemency will be made soon, probably the latter part of next week, and will contain a statement -which Martin L. Manton, his counsel, said today, ought not only to save his life, but set him free. Becker is under sentence to die in the electric chair during the week of July 12 for the murder of Herman Rosenthal.
Mr. Manton outlined Becker's plans for attempting to obtain clemency as far as they have matured, upon his arrival here today from Ossining, after an interview in the death house -with his client. "If clemency is denied," Mr. Man^ton said, "Becker would go to the bhair still protesting his innocence and in I all probability, leaving behind no written statement."
What Becker's plea for mercy will contain, what information, if any, he •will offer the governor for sparing him, or what part the convicted man's wife will play in the final fight for his life, were topics Mr. Manton said he could not now discuss In detail. He had in mind a plea and a statement, that was all, he said.
It was indicated that there was little likelihood that Becker would endeavor take his case to the United States •upreme court

Mi CASE HOTLY FOUGHTATROOTILIE
Continued From Page One.
occurred yesterday morning when the plaintiff sought to introduce the restraining order issued election morning by Judge John E. Cox to prevent the election inspectors from unseating the progressive members of the election boards.
Attorney Williams objected to the introduction of the order on the grounds that neither of the co-de-fendants of the suit were made parties to the Injunction and that the issues of the injunction were not in any way related to the issues of the suit. Judge Sunkle said that in order to bring the restraining order to the attention of the court it would have to be proved that service was given In the restraining order from the sheriffs office.
Judge Cox Called.
Judge Cox was called over the long distanoe phone and arrived shortly after court convened in the afternoon. The attorneys for the plaintiff were not aware of the arrival of Cox and he was not called to the stand, but it is thought the returns from the sheriff's office will be brought into court tomorrow.
Certified copies of the resignation of Sheriff Dennis Shea, the accoptanoe of his resignation, and the appointment of John J. Shea, Jr., were introduced in evidence.
The deposition of Robert D. Ramsey, special investigator for the department of justice, was read, over the protest of Attorney Williams, who claimed that the poll taken of the four precincts in question were made after the election and had no bearing on this case. Judge Sunkel ruled against the defendant, but said in his ruling that all the evidence would have to be connected before the deposition was in order. He said In making his ruling that he doubted the materiality of the evidence, as a poll taken at any time was doubtful concerning proving the exact number of legal votes of a precinct, much Jess taken at a time subsequent to the election.
Clark on the Stand.
Daniel E. Chopsin, a republican worker in Precinct A of the Sixth ward, was called and testified that according to a poll made by him prior to the election, only 276 legal voters resided in the precinct.
Frank (Buster) Clark testified that he handled the money in the precirot at the instance of Donn Roberts. He denied that he handled any of the republican slush fund which Jack Nugent and Frankie Hess are alleged to have secured from Shattuck, Holmes, Myers and Soules, republican candidates on the county ticket.

Squadrons of Italian and Austrian navies are steaming about in tne narrow stretches of the upper Adriatic, scouting for hostile ships and shelling seaport towns.
Several shots were exchanged In a brief running fight, the Austrians heading southward off Venice. The Italian destroyers steamed eastward along the Istnan peninsula, bombarding the Tsalvvore lighthouse, and then returned safely to their base.
At practically every point the Italian troops are moving into Austrian territory.
The heaviest fighting around Goritz centers about the group of hills south of Plava. The Austrians have thrown a triple line of strong entrenchments across the valley near Plava to 'block a flank movement on Goritz. A terrific fire from the Austrian guns has wrecked scores of pontoons thrown across
