NYS Sen J Marchi, NYC Repub mayoral candidate, calls on Nov 6 for dismissal of WNBC-TV commentator and former Cleveland Mayor C B Stokes for what Marchi describes as 'verbal mugging' and 'vicious ethnic slurs,' remarks made before conceding defeat to Dem opponent Controller A Beame, Statler Hilton Hotel; begins with warm praise for Beame but 'suddenly' changes tone when referring to Stokes in attack that apparently perplexes his audience; later says that Stokes's statement that 59% of Italians either voted for him, whom Stokes called 'strident,' or for US Repr M Biaggi, Conservative party candidate who denied invoking 5th Amendment before grand jury, is what he is concerned about; Stokes later asserts that he did not intend any slur and that all he said was that Beame did surprisingly well in view of fact that 2 of his opponents were of Italian descent; says Marchi's attack probably stems from his being 'overwrought' from campaign; Marchi's wife and his campaign mgr L Saffir say that they did not see TV segment in question
