Imbruglia, 43, a building contractor, has been on the council four years. There were no big issues in the race, and Capriola based his campaign on the argument that the voters deserve a choice. But Pavlick asked last night, "If a governing body consists of all Republi- ROss Imbruglia Stanley Pavlick Wallington By Kathleen Lynn Start Writer Democrats Stanley Pavlick and Ross Imbruglia were reelected to three-year council terms. But the lone challenger, Republican David Capriola, did not consider the election a defeat "I was very happy with the outcome," said Capriola, a 19-year-old political science student at William Paterson College.

"The people finally got their choice. I think the turnout showed they really wanted a choice." Of the 5,199 registered voters, 4,330, 83 percent, cast ballots, i Imbruglia garnered 2,432 votes, Pavlick 2,372, and Capriola 1,900. Of Caprio-la's strong showing, Pavlick said: "Probably any person on the Republican ticket would have gotten the same number of votes. Ronald Reagan really pulled the candidate up on his coattail." The 64-year-old Pavlick, who is retired from Cole Engineering in Fair Lawn, has East Rutherford councilmen win Incumbent Republicans Robert Evers and Peter Murray each won a fourth term yesterday, ensuring continued control of the East Rutherford Council by Republicans, who hold five of the six seats. Murray got the most votes, 1,966, while Evers got 1,957.

Of the borough's 4,899 registered voters, 2,703, or 55 percent, voted. cans or all Democrats, if they're doing a good job, why do they have to put anybody else in?" Capriola was running against the odds: No Republican has been elected to the council since the 1960 s. But those odds don't scare him. He said last night that he would try for a council seat again next year.

"I hope to have a running mate," he said. "I think we'll come back next year even stronger." Police UloltQY Democratic newcomer Black and incumbent Sanzalone win clerk Joseph Mocco, officially opposed all of the incumbents, Di Vincent supporters said the Moccos were secretly working with Duffy's team against the mayor and Fortunato, and that Duffy would have reappointed Joseph Mocco as clerk if he had won. Duffy had been finance commissioner in the Mocco administration since 1976 but switched his allegiance and joined Di Vincent in the coalition that defeated the Mocco-backed candidates in the May 1979 election. Second recall in three years Throughout the fierce recall battle the second recall election in three years Duffy denied he had realigned with the Moccos, who are under investigation for alleged political use of federal jobs and housing programs and for awarding insurance contracts to Joseph Mocco's firm. Duffy said last night that one reason he lost was that the Return Pride team was "unfairly called the Mocco ticket," and that "the stigma of the Moccos was attached to them." "It wasn't right, and it wasn't fair," said Duffy, who added that he was unfairly blamed for this year's huge tax increase of $10.42 per $1,000 of assessed value.

Nonetheless, Duffy said, "I hope peace at last comes to North Bergen, because the people deserve it." Two deputy attorneys-general and four state troopers were in the township yesterday to see that the infamous irregularities of past North Bergen elections were not repeated. Two years ago, for instance, under the Moccos, absentee ballots were steamed open and changed during an election. Despite the supervision, however, there were several incidents of possibly politically motivated sabotage. Shortly after 3:30 yesterday morning, a runaway banana truck crashed into a parking lot full of vehicles belonging to candidates and campaign workers of the Return Pride to North Bergen team. Tires slashed, windows broken All four tires were slashed on the car of Paul Swi-binski, the press spokesman for the Integrity Team, and on the car of The Record's North Bergen reporter.

The Integrity Team also reported that the glass door at its headquarters was smashed, as were the windows on the car of campaign worker Robert Cimino. Di Vincent's son Robert said he received a threatening message through his answering service, warning that his head would be broken and that his father would not be mayor. The ferocity of the recall battle that has consumed the township in the last several months was reflected in the elation of the Di Vincent supporters when their victory became apparent about 9 p.m. A few hundred of the mayor's campaigners crowded into the the mayor's office and the township clerk's office throughout the evening, singing, chanting, and hugging and kissing each other wildly. Ferrigno was openly weeping with joy, telling the Integrity Team supporters, "All my life, it's been my dream to serve people, and now my dream has come true." The celebration was briefly hushed when word spread that the absentee ballots might reverse the returns from the machines, but it started up again after Joseph Brady, Hudson County supervisor of elections, announced that partial returns indicated the absentee votes would not change the outcome.

"We never have to be bothered with the Moccos again," said Lorraine Insetta, who worked under Commissioner Bier in the police department's juvenile bureau, but who nonetheless supported Di Vincent. "This time we killed them." By Susan Servis Scilla and Robert Kra Staff Writers North Bergen Mayor Anthony Di Vincent, who last year ousted the scandal-ridden machine of former Mayor Peter Mocco, won a stunning victory yesterday as his three opponents on the township commission were recalled from office and replaced by Di Vincent loyalists. Di Vincent and his ecstatic supporters proclaimed that the victory completed the destruction of the Mocco machine a task they thought they had accomplished last year. "I never for one minute doubted we would win," the 54-year-old cemetery manager told a jubilant crowd of supporters last night after an election marred by partisan vandalism despite state police supervision. "The people of North Bergen have had it with Mocco and anything to do with Mocco.

The Mocco book is closed." Di Vincent, who was elected as part of a reform coalition last year, had been stymied in his administration this year when he lost the majority on the commission to three allies who turned against him Commissioners Jack Duffy, Bernard Bier, and George Dolan. Reorganization today Di Vincent, who was expected to be reelected as mayor at the commission's reorganization meeting at 3 p.m. today, apparently will now have the unanimous support of the commission, which will include himself. Commissioner Nicholas "Smokey" Fortunato who was recalled but returned to office and political newcomers Charles Haas, Marvin Nadler, and Carl Ferrigno. One of the first moves of the new administration will probably be to bring back as township attorney longtime Di Vincent ally Joseph Mariniello, who was pressured out of office by the majority bloc.

The mayor pledged to end the political battling that has torn the township apart in recent years and to remove the township from its dire economic straits and the shadows cast by a host of investigations into the practices of the Mocco administration. "We will bring peace to North Bergen," Di Vincent said in his victory speech at the Chateau Renaissance restaurant. "We will entice industry into the township, and we will work for a lower tax rate. North Bergen's name will be respected throughout the state." Ironically, Di Vincent was the original target of the recall movement, but he was the only one of the five commissioners who was not recalled. Absentees to be tallied Not counting absentee ballots, which were to be tallied today, there were 7,622 votes to recall the mayor, with 8,174 against recalling him.

There were 10,178 votes to recall Duffy, Di Vincent's chief opponent, and 3.622 against recalling him. There were 7,740 votes to recall Fortunato, with 7,677 against; 9,618 to recall Bier, with 4,143 against; and 9,694 to recall Dolan, with 3,961 against. In the balloting to replace the recalled commissioners.

He North Arlington By Chris Mondics Staff Writer With a number of absentee ballots still uncounted last night, the two council seats up for election in North Arlington apparently went to Democrats William Black, a newcomer, and Edward Sanzalone, an incumbent finishing his first term. Voter turnout was described as unusually heavy with 7,848 or 83 percent of the borough's 9,426 voters casting ballots. The Democratic victory, if it holds, leaves one Republican, John Meehan, on the council, and is expected to strengthen support for continued rent control. Sanzalone won more votes than the others with 4,080, followed by Black with 3,746. Republican candidate Ralph Goione received 3,286 votes and his running mate, Gary Burns, won 3,252.

The campaign was noticeably lacking in questions of public interest and the candidates differed only in that each ticket claimed to support rent control more than the other. The borough's landlords have been cir Burglars strike twice RUTHERFORD Police logged two break-ins Monday evening both on the same street. Detective Richard Falccichio said two homes, one about two doors from the other, were entered between 5 and 7 p.m. The burglars broke into both houses by prying open rear doors, and escaped with an undetermined amount of cash and jewelry after ransacking several rooms. Falccichio said police suspect the same person may be responsible for both in the neighborhood saw or heard anything unusual," he said.

The thefts were reported by the homeowners when they returned home. Police have no leads, but an investigation is continuing. Shop window smashed CARLSTADT Vandals smashed the large storefront display window of a Hackensack Street shoe repair shop early yesterday, causing a "considerable but undetermined amount of damage," police reported. Desk officer Michael Barbiere said Alex Grieco, owner of the small shop at 307 Hackensack found his six- by three-foot display window had been broken sometime during the night. Nothing had been taken from the building, leading police to speculate that the incident was an act of vandalism and not robbery.

The damage was discovered when the owner opened the store at 8 a.m. yesterday. Patrolman hurt in crash RUTHERFORD A borough patrolman was slightly injured Monday night when his police car rammed the back of another vehicle at the intersection of Orient Way and Route 3. Patrolman Harold Ciser was responding to a call when he lost control of his car. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was treated for slight wrist and hand injuries and released.

The driver of the other car was not injured. The accident caused extensive damage to the patrol car, police said. JOHN R. QUINN was appointed to the shade tree commission last spring.

About 20 residents were evacuated through fire escapes and a rear stairwell before the blaze was brought under control at 8 p.m None was injured, a fire department spokesman said. Fire officials last night were unsure how the blaze was started, but were able to describe its movement. "The fire started at the bottom of a lower stairwell at 172 Third and quickly spread to the roof. It was a full working fire in the time it took firemen to travel the three blocks there. It was a magnificent rescue effort, considering the stairwell was on fire," Deputy Chief Anthony Mingo said.

Officials at the scene said that the three-story brick-faced and frame buildings at 172 and 174 Third which share common stairwells, sustained severe structural damage throughout. Giovanni Scalzulli, an investigator for Coast to Coast Associates Inc. of Clifton, which insured the buildings, would not estimate the cost damages: "It's not how much it would cost to fix the building. It's what it would cost to replace the building" which, according to him, would be between $200,000 and $300,000. The roof at an adjoining three-story frame tenement at 176 Third St.

was demolished, fire officials said. And severe water damage was sustained at 170 Third a three-story brick structure. The four firemen injured were: Captain Mark Parno, Alex Hastiok Vincent Colavitti, and Lt. Joseph Alberti. Parno was treated for smoke inhalation at Beth Israel Hospital and released.

Hastiok and Colavitti, also suffering from smoke inhalation, were treated at Passaic General Hospital and released, hospital spokesmen said. Alberti, who sustained moderate facial cuts after a fall, was treated at Beth Israel and returned to the scene. The Clifton, Carlstadt, Paterson, and Wallington fire departments also responded to the 6 40 p.m. alarm. The fire is being investigated by Lt, Victor Trentacost of the city arson squad and Detective Vincent Markosky.
