the ancient Hungarian family ot that
name, at ber home on Flfta avenue,
The wedding was a comparatively
quiet affair, despHe tbe attendance of
New York's "most select" ana sev
eral representatives of the Hungarian
nobility.' On account of the difference
in their religion (Mlas Daly being a
Protestant, and ber fiance a Catholic)
the customary church ceremony with
Its attendant brilliance was supplant
ed by a quiet but dignified ceremony
at tbe Daly mansion, 725 mm ave

pointed on the Allegheny county de
tective bureau to take apeclal charge
of the graft prosecutions and that Wil
