and walked along the shore front for
miles in hopes that the bodies might
be seen, if they had risen to the sur
face or floated ashore. Parties also

KATzENBACH
AGAIN DUCKS
ON The ISSUE

CHATHAM, Oct. 11:-Frank S.
Katzenbach, democratic candidate
for governor. stopped here Yesterday
in the journey through this section
of the state and at meeting at the
clubhouse of the Chatham Fish and
Game Club he had to face some ques-
tions on the excise issue raised by
William H. Miller, a Chatham busi-
ness man. Mr. Katzenbach had been
dilating on the disclosures brought
out by the Hahn Investigating COM
mittee when Mr.. Miller asked him
about local option. Mr.. Katzenbach
remarked that he was getting to that
when Mr. Miller exclaimed:
"How about Sunday selling? TEct's
what | mean"
I'm going to take up that sub
iect and discuss it at the proper
time" said the democratic candidate.
'1f you are a democrat you know
want to state my position on that
question squarely. That is a ques-
tion which, if dragged into the cam
paign at this time. would in my
judgment, overshadow any other is
sues-issues that are more import
ant 10 the peODle Vi tHt SIdlt.
Some one in the crowd called out
that Mr. Miller was a republican.
Miller replied that he had voted for
Bryan and Roosevelt and would vote
for the latter again if he had
chance.
81 realize that my republican op-
ponents want me to speak on the ex-
else question, and when the time is
ripe | will take a stand" added Mr.
Katzenbach. Miller shouted that he
thought it was up to both candidates
to state where they stood. Several
persons in the audience told Miller
to keep quiet. but he found a sup
porter in the Rev Charles E. Hessel-
grave. pastor of the Stanley Congre-
gational church, who declared that
wasn't the right way to squelch a
man. Eventually Mr.. Katzenbach re-
sumed his speech and finished.
The candidate made the journey
to Chatham from Newark in an auto
mobile.
