Basil R. Battaglia, the incumbent Republican register in chancery, defeated Democratic challenger Russell Morris: did so by margins consistently 100 to 200 votes less than those racked up by fellow Republican Folsom in the same areas. New Castle Hundred and Wilmington Democratic strongholds at the same time out in strength for Slawik.

The two candidates appeared to run evenly in swing districts between Wilmington and i highway. The council races contained few surprises. Democrat Francis J. Swift of Hockessin won election to the 4th District seat west of Wilmington by a slim 713-vote margin over his Republican opponent, James D. Fariss a civic association leader.

The final vote was: Staff Photo by Fred Comegyi Battaglia 82,505 72,490 The other contests were in districts heavily weighted to the advantage of one party or the other. In the 1st District, containing most of Wilmington, Democrat Francis J. Schneider buried his Republi-can opponent, Wilbert G. Fletcher. The contest had developed into a racial face-off between Schneider, who is white, and Fletcher, who is black, after Schneider defeated incumbent councilman W.

Slawik, a 37-year-old Democratic state senator from New Castle Hundred, ended more than a decade of Republican control of New Castle County government yesterday by winning the county executive race by a narrow 1,515 vote margin. County voters gave Slawik less than a clear mandate, however, by overwhelmingly electing Republican Henry R. Folsom Jr.

of Newark as president of the County Council. The political makeup of the council remained four Republicans, three Democrats. "WITH a name like Slawik 1 carried New Castle County," the elated county executive-elect said while supporters partied at his Wilmington Manor Lions Club election re- turn headquarters. "It's one of the few times in the last 50 years that Democrats have won the county." William L. Frederick, the 37-year-old Republican state representative from Cedar Crest who was speaker of the house, had no immediate statement on his defeat by Slawik.

THE results proved to be one of the closest of any con Melvin A.

Incumbents Norman D. Hughes (1st), Hattie M. Phe-lan (3d), Gerald J.

Nagle (6th) and William T. McLaughlin and Jesse W. Samluk (both at large) were Democrats re-elected to another four years. Other Democrats elected were Orlando George (2d), James M. Baker (4th), Antonio Resto (5th-), George Fisher (7th) and at-large candidate James Kee-ley.

THE only two Republicans to score a victory were Richard J. Bartkowski, as a necessary fourth at-large candidate, and Joseph DiPinto in the predominantly Republican 8th District. City Treasurer Maurice F. Williams, Democrat, also won an easy victory over Thomas Anderson. The vote was fairly uniform throughout the city, with Ma-loney riding a heavy turnout in the southwest districts and holding even in the black districtswhere there was some sentiment against any candidate endorsed by the city organization.

MALONEY said that he felt he broke even in the black districtsdespite what he described as "unbelievable" vote buying. He charged that Republicans were buying votes for $5 each and paying $50 to buy off Democratic workers In some districts. "We did it on less than $20,000," Maloney said of his own campaign. Haskell, who went to bed early after his defeat last night, had set a $30,000 budget, and it was clear that he had spent thousands less than in Rosalie S.

Observers from both parties saw little chance for a Democrat i controlled County Council but John T.

Cannon 50, of near Bridgeville upset incumbent John L. Briggs of Georgetown to swing the Democratic majority. The other two races for new council seats were all but conceded to Democrats. Briggs' defeat, however, raised Republican eyebrows early last night. "If Briggs didn't win, then nobody did in Sussex," Paul C.

Stokes, Republican county chairman said last night before final results. Recorder of Deeds were not up for re-election. Elwood R. Rust, 70, of Georgetown, the incumbent Prothonotary, was the only Republican who won in the three contested Beats; he was also the only incumbent to seek re-election. Rust, a stone mason, defeated Democrat Mrs.

Marguerite S. Downs, 54, a Lewes housewife, and Charles J. Rogers, 26, of Milford, the only American Panty candidate seeking a row office. The totals were: Rust 16,243 Mrs. Downs 14,556 Rogers 266 In the closest row office election, 'Ray H.

Elliott, 50, a Georgetown auction house owner and Democrat, defeated Deputy Sheriff Lawrence E. Meredith, 64, of Greenwood, by 1,036 votes for sheriff. Republican incumbent Earl M. Steele of Stockley could not run for another term. Sheriff's serve 2-year terms and cannot succeed themselves.

Totals in that race were: test for a major office. J. E. Orossan-Price-Woirtmian, the American Party candidate, pulled only 861 votes. But his modest total, cou-pled with only two vote changes to Frederick in each of the county's 238 election districts, could have meant victory for the Republicans.

The final tally was: Briggs, serving the final months of his six-year term, and two other Republicans, Richard L. Timmons, council president, and William B. Chandler, have controlled the Levy Court council since 1968. The Republican council worked hard to have home rule for the county passed by the General Assembly in 1970, thereby setting up the five member council. Timfnons, contacted last night at Republican headquarters, refused comment on the election outcome.

"We might have something to say Tues-day, but not tonight," Timmons said. BRIGGS, elected in 1966, was the first Republican on the Levy Court in 15 years. He ran a low-key campaign since announcing for re-election last summer, sticking mainly by his record. Cannon, however, took Briggs' record to the voters saying that the county budget surplus of $1 million was "too much and not giving the tax payer credit," and that the ALMANAC CORNER 48th day of autumn.

"The county has moved forward and I'm glad I was a part of it." Cannon, himself surprised at ithe wide margain said he thinks that his charges of a conflict of interest on the present three-man council and the fact that Sussex has over a $1 million budget surplus helped him win. "I believe the vote was against the incumbent," Cannon said.

"I don't want to take credit for anything I was thinking that it would be much' closer, maybe less than 100 votes."

He never backed away from his support of the Nixon Administration but made no bones about his attitude against renewed bombing of North Vietnam. THE question that pops up now in the minds of political observers is: Where doesDu Pont go from here. It is known he has a hankering for the U.S.

Senate. One story was that if Sen. J. Caleb Boggs, had not run for re-election, Du Pont would have thrown his hat ifito the ring for that post, regardless of who else among the Republicans might have sought the nomination. Foremost among these Republicans was Wilmington Mayor Harry G.

Haskell Jr. opponents, Harry H. Lambert and Leo J. Dugan, withheld their direct support of Frederick, and Lambert, a former Levy Court president, quietly aided the Slawik campaign and directly criticized Frederick in newspaper ads. Frederick counterattacked by blasting Slawik's attendance record in the State Senate and sharply criticizing Slawik's proposals and knowledge of county fiscal matters.

The Frederick campaign was professionally managed and well-financed, but could not overcome Slawik's aggressive offensives. The key to the Slawik victory may have been found in a' lack of enthusiasm for Freder-ick in heavily Republican Brandywine Hundred.
