A Gallant Polack Rescues Infant Son

NEW YORK, August 23.-Mrs. Julia Fa-
Der, who lives on the second floor of a
three-story frame house at 126 Essex street,
Jersey City, went around the corner yes
terday to get some groceries, leaving her
six-weeks-old son asleep in his crib. When
she got back the building was ablaze and
firemen were dragging their hose into the
hallway.
Did anybody save my baby?' she cried.
A crowd gathered around her and Stephen
Nadilofuski, a Polack, gently asked where
the kid was.
The mother excitedly told him, and cover
ing his face with his coat the man slowly
felt his way up the smoke filled stairway.
He forced open the door leading to Mrs.
Faber's apartments and tucked the baby
under his arm. The flames prevented him
from escaping down the stairs and he
climbed on a windOwsill The firemen saw
him and started to raise q ladder
Before 1t was placed in position a sheet of
flame issued from the window and Nadil-
ofuski deliberately jumped. He landed on
his feet unhurt and handed the baby to the
half-crazed mother. Then he disappeared

DEPENDS ON HOWARD COUNTY

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, August 23.-Democratic
politicians throughout the state are very
much interested in the prospective contest
between Gov. Warfeld and Arthur P. Cor
man for the United States senatorshIp 1t
is thought on all sides that Mr.. German
will be compelled by the political exigencies
to the extent of contesting for the support
of Howard county, and once in the race it
is assumed that Mr.. Gorman will stick to it.
II is probable that Mr.. German would not
have considered entering the lists at this
time if Gov. Warheld had not announced
his candidacy, but would have deferred and
watched developments. Since the governor
however, has come out for the honor, all
politicians agree that Mr.. German must
meet HIN.
1t is pointed out that if the dead set
which Gov. Warfield is making at Howard
county for its support should be successful,
Mr.. German and his friends would be lied
to the Warfeld senatorial chariot, unwill-
HS cdptlNeS tNOuSn lney were, 10 march
in the Warfield triumphal procession. In
der the new system proposed for choosing
candidates for United States senator by
primary elections the delegation in the leg
islature from a county must vote for the
candidate who had received the highest
number of votes in the primaries
Thus, If the primaries in Howard county
show majority for Varied, Mr.. German
if he is e,ected to the legislature, must
vote for Warteld for senator. That is a
horrible thought TO the German faction, in
view of the feud existing between these two
notable democrats. The only thing left for
Mr.. German, it is argued by the politicians
is to get into the fight himself and try to
save his county for himself. An announce
ment from Mr.. German is expected at any
time.
Gov. Warfield has already made the first
move in the anticipated contest. He entered
the enemy's country yesterday and made a
bold bid for favor. Accompanied by Judge
Crothers, the democratic candidate for gov
ernor, Gov. Warfield attended the annual
gathering of the G,enwood Farmers Club
of Howard county. held at Cookesvile
There was an attendance of 5000 or 1900
people, and It was great glad hand oc-
casion. Gov. Warffeld knew the leading
men of the county and he introduced Judge
Crothers, the two holding a joint reception
all day.

A dispatch to the Baltimore Sun from
Frederick says:
The announcement that Gov. Edwin War
fed will enter the democratic senatorial
primaries this fall as a candidate for the
United States Senate was received with a
feeling of great satisfaction by democrats
in this county.
In speaking of Gov. Warfield's candidacy
DR.. S. +. Thomas. a well-known Confeder-
ate veteran ard commander of Alexander
Young Camp of Confederate Veterans said:
Il am glad to know that Gov. Warfield is
a candidate for the Senate. With the
masses he is the most popular candidate
that l have yet heard of. ne could carry
Frederick county with many votes to spare,
and l hope l may have an opportunity to
vote for him
Mr.. Clayton o. Keedy of the Frederick

senatorial primaries will help the demo-
cratic state ticket. Il am of the opinion"
said Mr.. Keedy. that there are thousands
of republicans in this state who would like

Mr.. Frank l.. Stoner, also of the Fred

Senate that has yet been named. He is

Mr.. Stoner. and you may rest assured
that he will run ahead of any one else in

Important Developments.

There were two developments in Balti-
more yesterday bearing upon the sena-
torial situation.
One was statement by ex-Gov. Frank
Brown that he is not a candidate for the
senatorship and that unless he changes
his nd he will not enter the primaries in
the fall. The other was the general ac-
ceptance in political circles of the belief
that ex-Gov. John Walter Smith would
be a candidate.
Ex-Gov Smith was here during the day,
leaving late in the afternoon for Atlantic
City. where he will remain until Monday.
Since Tuesday he and ex-Gov. Brown have
had two conversations upon the senatorial
question. but when Mr.. Smith left he had
not made up his mind definitely whether
to enter the fight or not. although the con-
viction of his friends is that he will do so
Speaking Of his position. ex-Gov. Brown
said:
II am not a candidate for United States
senator, and. unless I change my mind
very materially. l will not be candidate.
1 have no desire for any public office at
this time and all want is to see the party
victorious in this fight in November If
the democratic state and city ticket is
elected by good majority / will be sat
isfied.'
In organization circles. where there is n
distinct hostility toward Gov. Warield.
there is an earnest desire that some strong
man should enter the field against him in
the senatorial primaries to make the con-
test in the city. For this reason the likeIi-
hood of State Senator German becoming
a candidate was welcomed, and anti-War-
field democrats also anxious to have
Gov Smith come into the fight.
In the opinion of most politicians ex-
Gov. Smith will be compelled to enter the
fight to hold his own people for him, lust
as Senator German. they say, will be COM
PEELED to become candidate to prevent
himself from being taken to Annapolis
bound to Warfield for senator without a
struggle. OF one thing the organization
men seem positive. and that is that Gov
Warfield will not be permitted to capture
the senatorial primaries without a fight.
