GOP Has Slim Edge in Legislature By Latest Count By LUTHER F. BUVEN Republicans apparently retained control of the Onondaga County Legislature by a slim 13 to 11 margin in Tues day's election. Initial election night tallies, had indicated the body would be deadlocked 12 to 12. Democrats, in wresting control of the Common Council from the Republicans in Tuesday's voting, also won the right to choose a $15,000 a year city clerk to replace Republican Louis Adornato, and a $10,500 a year deputy city clerk to succeed Ray Owens. Former acting city clerk and deputy city clerk Pauline Norman figured in the Democratic speculation.

Despite disclaimers, newly re elected Mayor Lee Alexander, who beat Republican John O'Connor by better than 2 to 1, has been propelled into next year's Democratic state ticket picture. Alexander, who won by more than 18,287 votes, has said several times he won't take a place on a state Democratic gubernatorial ticket in 1974. Party leaders, however, always seeking a youthful, articulate major Democratic office holder Upstate who is a proven vote getter, are certain to rank Alexander high on their list of potentials for lieutenant governor or at torney general next year. State Sen. Martin S.

Auer, Onondaga County Republican chairman, said yesterday he expects to resign before the end of the year. County Legislator Nicholas J. Pirro, one of the few Republican incumbents reelected Tuesday, said Auer should make up his mind whether he wants to be state senator or county GOP chair thoughts about re electing Ephraim Shapero to his a year pott as County Walsh to take an active role in any revamping. Some mentioned Atty. Gary Axenfeld, former top aide to the late Sen.

John H. Hughes as Auer's replacement. Axenfeld indicated a willingness to serve but some don't want him. Meanwhile some party workers maneuvered to prevent an expected attempted party takeover by County Executive John H. Mul roy and Shapero with perhaps former Deputy County Executive Richard Hanlon as front man.

When the unofficial vote tabulating ended Tuesday night it appeared Democrats Andrew Sturick, Robert Burns, Charles E. Luke Michael DeLallo, and Britton A. to gain a 12 12 deadlock on the County Legislature. An unofficial tabulation of election inspector tally sheets yesterday, however, 'indicated Vannauker, of Minoa, won by 125 votes instead of losing to Democrat Ronald L. Caso in the 10th District.

If his win stands up Republicans will retain control of the County Legislature by a 13 to 11 margin. Democrats ousted two Republican incumbents, beat a Conservative incumbent, re elected two of their own in one to take control of the City Council to 3. GOP incumbents ousted were Third District Councilman John J. Handiin and Fifth District Councilman Thomas J. Cahill.

Second District Councilman James W. Muller was dumped too. Democrats re elected Councilman at Large Vincent A. O'Neil and Fourth District Councilman James P. McCarthy.

Newly elected Democratic councilmen are Armond Mag nareili, Richard Grud zinski, Ronald M. Monsour and Mrs. Rosemary Pooler.
