HICKS (Special to T h e N a s sau Post.) MINEOLA, Nov. 19.— After a year of litigation over the congressional seat in the first congressional district. Supreme Court Justice Jaycox has de cided t h a t Frederick C. Hicks, Repub lican nominee, is entitled to the seat, by virtue of a plurality of 10 votes over Lathrop Brown, the Democratic congressman. The contest has been watched with a great deal of interest by politicians and voters. Congress man Hicks will be granted a certifi cate of election as soon as the court orders are filed. When intervied relative to t h e de cision, he said: ‘T made the fight I did because I was fully convinced that I had been elected to a seat in Con gress. I fully appreciate the value of the decision handed down by Justice Jaycox.” Lathrop Brown is in the South traveling. He has not been heard from. His attorney, P. L. HouseL It is said, has mapped out a mathemati cal arrangements of figures by means of which he expects to upset the de cision, in an appeal to the appelate division. After so many adverse de cisions by the courts it is not be lieved that Mr. Brown will care to sacrifice his political future by an appeal to a partisan house of repre sentatives.

CHUBBUCK’S Freeport** Leading Drug Store Exclusive HUYLER Asrencv FREEPORT EPISCOPAL CLUB DE LIGHTS CROWDED HOUSE IN MONSTER PRODUCTION OF “HAZEL KIRKE.” Quite the most admirable amateur work acted in this village in many years was witnessed last evening at the Crystal Theatre when the local Episcopalian society, The Owls, pre sented ‘‘Hazel Kirke,” a delightful four-scene comedy-drama. The play had been well advertised and the house was crowded when the curtain went up for the first act. The audi ence, composed of the more prominent men and women of the village, be came immensely interested in the ac tion and development of the piece, and were enthusiastic in their praise of the several members of the cast. The play itsself is a famous one. It was originally produced at Madison Square Theatre, in 1880, and ran for 48t> performances. Steele Mackaye, the author, never wrote a more whole some, richly colored picture of life. Although every member of the cast presented their character in a most genuine manner, the clever portrayal of “ Dunstan Kirke” by George L. Braithwaite was superb. The work of Mrs. Edith Cheshire, Herbert A. Kel- lum, Mrs. Emma L. Braithwaite and Mrs. Grace Westcott was generously complimented by many theatre going critics. The cast was indeed well chosen and their work reflects not a little credit on H. Bratton Kennedy, the coach. The music was furnished by H. S. Wolfer and the piano loaned through the kindness of H. J. Raymore. The plaj’ was presented on Wednesday night to an equally enthusiastic au dience. It was a decided financial success. BAPTIST MlSICALE FULL OF VARIETY MISS EDITH F.

An American news paper for American people. WERE DEFEATED BY OCEAN- SIDE TEAM BY NARROW MAR GIN—HEMPSTEAD GAME PROM ISES TO EXCEL OPENING. The local boys put up a very ex cellent game of basketball last Friday evening, even if they were defeated by t h e strong Oceanside team by the score of 32 to 23. Considering that this is the first time the boys have played together and handicapped as they were by lack of practice, the showing was really excellent, every man working hard. The Bellmore Theatre with the seats removed to the side, and the floor cleared, looked very attractive and cozy. Considering t h a t it was the first night and the weather inclem ent, the attendance was quite good, but if the games are to continue the support will have to be greater, as considerable expense, amounting to about $14 is incurred for every game played. Everyone enjoyed the danc ing very much at the conclusion of the game, the music being very good. Next Friday Hempstead will be the attraction. The game starts at 8.30. Come out and help t h e boys put this sport over, as this is the first time basketball has ever been attempted in Bellmore and the boys are worthy of your support. Teams can book games by addressing Harry J. Apeler. Bellmore Personal Gossip. John Baldwin and family are now occupying their new cottage on the P. E.

There is, in deed, in the parish a deep conviction, t h a t in the not distant fu ture a new edifice more fittingly rep resentative of the size and resources of the church organization should be erected. The chapel or Sunday school room has been enlarged to twice its seating capacity. A separate room for the meetings of the official board, a ladies' parlor, and a kitchennette with all conveniences for preparing light luncheons, have been added. Un der the main chapel excavations have been made and a dining and recrea tional room and a large kitchen with large pantries constructed. A new and adequate steam heating plant for the whole edifice has been Installed. A fine new velvet carpet covers the j floor of the entire main auditorium and the chapel. By means of large folding doors the chapel and church proper may be made into one. afford ing a double seating capacity. A greatly improved method of lighting the chapel and further changes in the lighting of the auditorium are contemplated. In harmony with the decorations of the chapel as remod eled, the auditorium of the church has been redecorated.

The merchants and business men of the Village of Freeport are cam paigning for your business, and mak ing a united effort to demonstrate to the residents of Freeport the value of Freeport shopping service. For a long time the merchants have felt that Freeport residents werd making purchases that could have been more economically made at home, largely perhaps because they were ignorant of the actual condi tions. Freeport’s business section is the best and most satisfactory department store for Freeport residents. The merchants along Main street, Rail road avenue and Merrick road can s u p ply the best at rates far lower in pro portion than those of city stores. Although Freeport shopping serv ice is just as real and efficient the whole year round, yet the merchants desire to impress upon the residents their efficiency at this holiday season. Their advertisement appears on an other page of this paper. It is part of the campaign; read it; it is a mes sage which rings true. Watch for future messages of holiday cheer.
