The Tribune's reference yesterday to gambling
in Hudson County has set the Grand Jury ~ work
In the right direction. II pointed out In these
columns that gambling places existed in Jersey
City. and that the prorrietors and hackers were
heavy contributors to the Democratic campaign
funds. This fact was cited TO show the need for

also likely that the noolrooms which existed In

Report That the American Fish HOOK
Compmmy,s PInmt VIII br Moved.

1t was rumored yesterday that the
business and machinery of the Ameri-
can Fish Hook company, a well known
local manufacturing concern located on
Artizan street, had been sold to west
ern company and that the shop here
would be closed up and the machinery
moved west. Neither President Wall
lace nor Secretary John A. Hull Of the
American Fish Hook company could be
found last night to confirm or deny the
report, but it is quite generally credited.
The fish hook factory has been located
here twenty or twenty-five years. The
late William r. Shelton former mayor
of New Haven, was for many years
president Of the company. The late
Mr.. Crosby one of the most noted New
Haven inventors of recent years. was
also identified with the company for a
number of years.
The departure of the concern from
New Haven will be much regretted. So
far as could be learned last night the
arrangements for the sale and transfer
of machinery have been completed and
the removal of machinery will begin
this week.
