A number9of store keepers in the
Ineighborhood of 107 Smith street are
preparing a petition, which they in
tend circulating, to have Sunday
work stopped in the Hyman Handels-
man pants factory in the Therkelson
building.
Some of the residents in the imme-
diate vicinity of the factory have long
made protests against its Sunday
working and some have consulted
the local authorities The starting of
petition seemed the proper course
and number of the protesting resi-
dents are now preparing one, which
will be presented to the Board of AL
dermen at one of their coming meet
ings. The majority of residents in
this section are highly in favor of
having the work stopped Sundays.
At any time of the day on the Sab
bath the machines may be heard buz-
zing for block away, the residents
claim, and it is not only the noise of
ing on the Sabbath that they object
to, but it does not seem proper for
churchgoers and Sunday School chill
dren who are constantly passing.
The officials of the factory said to-
day that the majority of their en-
ployes are Jewish and demand Sat

that the shop cannot be closed up two

Senator Colby Endorses the Es-
sex Senator and The New Idea
Lines Up SOlidly.
COLBY EXPLAINS HIS POSITION.
In Statement Made Yesterday the
Essex County Sheriff Says While
He Prefers to Return to the Prac-
tice Of His Profession He Would
Consider a Nomination as a Call to
Duty and Accept 1t as Such.

NEWARK, June 26.-State Sena-
tor Everett Colby announced yester-
day that Sheriff Frank H. Sommer, OF
Essex county, would be the candl-
date of the New Idea movement in
New Jersey for the republican nonli-
nation for governor. Mr.. Colby said
that Sommer would receive the en-
dorsement and support in the primar-
les of the whole New Idea movement.
Differences of opinion have ex-
listed in the New Idea ranks ever
since the Pagan dollar dinner In Jer~
Esey City last April, when Mr.. Colby
declared that it was his view that re-
formers of the party should not have
a candidate for governor this year,
but that they should confine their
fight to an endeavor to nominate as
|semblymen in sympathy with the New
Idea principles in different counties
and try to have these principles as far
as possible embodied in the platform
Of the state convention.
Mr.. Colby made this statement be-
cause of the demands that he should
be candidate for the gubernatorial
nomination, but at the same dinner
he was endorsed for the nomination
by the Hudson county reformers. He
was also endorsed with Mayor Pagan,
of Jersey City, at a dinner in Pater-
son.
In now calling out for the reform
sheriff of Essex county the New Idea
leader puts quietus on thqtmove-
ment looking to himself as the candi-
date. Senator Colby said:
Il am for Frank Sommer Tor gov
ernor. He is one of the most sple0
did men and has one OF the hnesE

Essex county he has made good. He

pie to a greater degree. II the New
