IS
HURRYING
TO NEWARK
Denial Made Of Disruption
in the New Idea
Party.

Essex New Idea men at q meeting
of the executive committee yesterday
afternoon began active preparations
for their primary campaign. A cable
gram from Senator Everett Colby stat
ing that he was leaving Europe today
on the steamship Oceanic caused the
committee to decide that under his
guidance beginning next Thursday, the
day after his arrival home, the adj
visory committee shall begin its meet
ings. Thereafter every night there
will be a meeting of this committee
to keep the situation in hand.
1t is said that Senator Colby Is re-
turning to this country much sooner
than he expected to do, and that the
hurry Is caused by the receipt of news
by him that conditions among the New
Idea adherents are reaching critical
stage that may threaten the destruc-
tion of the party.
This information was sent as re-
suit according to the reports in cir
culation, of the maneuvers of the
Hudson County section of the element.
When some of the New Idea people
here were asked about these reports,
they denied that there was any truth
in them, and stated that Senator Colby
had gone to Europe only for short
vacation and intended to return pEior
to the primaries.
They said also that there was no
trouble in the New Idea section OF the
Republican party and that all the diff
ferent parts of 1t were working har-
moniously, even the Hudson people,
who do not want to have Sheriff SOM
rner the candidate for Governor.
Headquarters are now open, ana the
ward representatives drop into headquar-
tiers frequently.
Last night the Fourth and Fifth Ward
branches of the league met in headquar-
ters and settled upon Walter S. Simpson,
a New York commission merchant. as a
succce essor to Russell NJ Everett on the
Assembly ticket There will be no let-up
in the fight by the New Idea men TO get
the Republican nominations for the eleven
candidates who were Assemblymen last
year and for delegates for Sheriff Frank
H. Sommer whom the Colbyites are sup
porting for the governorship.
While these mer were In session at
hea duuarters the Ninth Ward New Idea
men had a meeting TO look over petitions
and transact other routine business that
must be completed shortly. During the
meeting, however, the representatives ex-
pressed themselves as well pleased with
conditions in the districts.
There is a fight on In that ward be-
tween the Regulars and the Colbyites
The lntter however are confident. whine
+he Regulars" maintain that the Ns~
Idea men have been ''harnonized. The
latter laugh at those stories

FROM EUROPE
TO HUNT FOR
MAN HERE
Girls Lawyer Says Horace
{. Miller Seeks to Have
Her DepOrted.

Despite the denials of himself, made
last night. and reiterated by his wife,
1t is positively asserted today that
Horace E. Miller. an assistant superin-
tendant for the Celluloid Company. of
this city, and a salesman for the con-
cern, residing at is East Kinney street,
is the man who wooed and won the
heart of pretty Paula Klipenbourg, in
Germany, whom the immigration au-
thorities may send back to Germany.
She says she came to this country
when she found she had been deceived,
but that influences here had sought the
aid of the Bureau of Commerce and
Labor in an effort to secure her depor-
tation as an undesirable alien"
The statement that Miller Is the
man was made in an unqualified way
to an EVENING STAR reporter this
morning by William Solomon, counsel
for the girl, in his office, 145 Nassau
street Mr.. Solomon at first refused
to discuss the matter, saying that 1t
might endanger his client from pos
sible consideration from the Federal
authorities at later date.
Does the Horace e. Miller figuring
in the case reside in Newark or New
York; he was asked.
"I have told the newspaper men all
that l care to say about the case"
was his reply.
"There is a Horace L. Miller residing
in this city who often goes to Europe
and who is a salesman for the Celluloid
Company" replied the reporter, "and
it is reported in some circles that he
is the man in this case; is that true or
not?"
"TIe is the man." replied Mr.. Solomon.
Mr.. Solomon would not discuss the
matter further. saying that he might
endanger the interests of his client.
These interests he guarded as sacred,
and said that If there Is any possi-
bility of preventing the deportation of
his client he intends to do so.
According to the statement Of Miss
Klippenbourg she first met Miller in Berlin
three years ago. He represented himself
to be n millionaire celluloid manufacturer
and paid her marked attention. Her fam
lily Is an influential one In Berlin, accord
ing to accounts. and Is said to be inter-
ested In theatricals Miss Klipenbourg
is said to have appeared before the foot
lights on one or two occasions.
She Is a rather pretty woman, appar-
emily 25 years old. although she admits
but twenty-five summers. She is rather

OPERATORS
Striking Telegraphers Try
ing to Further Hamper
Wire Business of Country.

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-Determined
Telegraph Companies to recede from
their refusal to arbitrate. striking tele-
graph operators today began confer
ences with the railway telegraph oper-
ators with a view to calling out q
sympathetic strike of 100000 men.
Representatives of Local No. 16. of
the Commercial Telegraphers' Union,
and those of the local union of the
Ord"r of Railway Telegraphers, are
meeting at 56 Pino street to decide on
what action, If any, shall be taken.

have received full assurances from the
railway men that they stand willing
and ready to go out at any time de-
cided upon by leaders of the CONNER
cial Union.
Considerable headway has been made
in all directions by the companies.
which found that their preparations
for a strike, begun three months ago,
stood them in good stead when the
crisis came. 1t was emphatically stated
in the main offices that there was no
dearth of operators and that, in fact,
they had moro than they wanted. The
operators repeatedly denied this, but
the companies asserted they were
doing a considerably large amount of
business considering the fact that they
were supposed to be crippled because
of the strike.
After a few hours confusion the
offices of the Associated Press, which
had been left practically deserted by
$50. operators walking out without
warning, resumed practically their
normal condition and dispatches from

THE DIAMOND.
Mike Hickey Would Be an Umpire
 Once More.

Michael F. Hickey has applied to John E. Kennedy. supervisor of Con- nect,cut league umpires. for a place on the stan next season. Up to this week Mir Hickey was not certain that he would want to take another chance as an arbitrator of Connecti- cut league clashes, but he has decid- ed that he can stand it as we'll as if the supervisor agrees with him in that respect.
 While oinformation was given as to the result of the application. 1t is generally believed that Hickey will secure an appointment. He has giv- en en generally good satisfaction while he has been in the league. 1t being admitted that his judgment on plays is consistently good.
 Another man who is seeking A berth as league official as Hugh H. Healey. formerly manager of the Chicopee basketball team. Mir Healey writes to Springfield friend that he would like to tackle the job. He has had considerable experience as baseball umpire and basketball ref cree and has always been a close student of the game Healey was something of player himself a few years ago. but had to quit the game when he offered one of his fingers as a sacrihce- He was hit on the finger tip with . ball while in a game and amputation of the finger was neces- sary.

POLO WHITES.

Now will you be good? That was an awful team sent uI from Bridgeport.
 Dicky Pierce must be the whole
 team when Bridgeport plays at home Sutton was there with the goods again last night and some of the stops that he made were hair raisers. New Haven was pie for New Britain and the seventeen hundred fans present at the game last night must have felt ashamed of that team. Bridgeport can never win any pen nants with that. team that played here last evening All the players on the team were Duggan and Mitchell Whipple is big fellow but he is in his own way.
 If New Haven managers say that they have the money to get the best players that can be procured, all they have to do is to go out to the h. terstate league and offer good price for some of those chaps. $25 week won't get them though. Put fifty more on top of it and you can get some of the real live ones.
 Sutton has been bothered consider ably by the over head lights. In the west all the lights are on the side of the rink and the goal tender de- clares the ball can be followed much easier than in the east.
 Duggan is fast youth and if he had any support last evening the game would have been interesting. All Whipple did was to use his mouth and make himself unpopular with the crowd.
 Soon even the rushers will be run ming round on their ankles. The managers should pass a rule com polling all players to stand on their rollers.
 Harvey of the Hamilton Parks is conner. Although he and the other members of that team have only been on rollers few times they play the game every minute.
 Whipple made several apologies to Sutton last evening after he had struck him across the breast with the polo stick. Carson City hissed Whipple unmercifully as it looked as if he knew he had no chance of connecting with the ball when he made the swing.
 One section of the seats on the lower floor crashed down just as the game was finished last night. Luck fly no one was injured.
 Dumpy Williams does not look day older than he did years ago when he was such popular player with the fans in every city. Dumpy is all right and tries to play gentle manly game, style which some of his comrades might learn.
 At meeting of the polo league will be held at Meriden Sunday at ? o'clock.
 Secretary William Peet of the Con- necticut Polo league appointed Michael J. Doherty an official referee. DOherty, who is an old-time ball player, and who has been a member of the Albany team for several seasons will begin his duties next week. He succeeds Billy Lush, who on account of his work in connection with the Yale basketball and baseball teams, will be unable to continue as a referee.
 A delegation of about fifty from the home of Manager Nc Mahon, came to this city last even- ing to witness the polo game.
