her condition critical I ordered her re-

LIVERPOOL, March 27.-'There Is
absolutely nothing | can say regarding
my reported engagement to Miss Kath-
crime Elkins,' said the Duke of the
Abruzzi today. The duke had just ar
rived here from New York on the Lusi-
tania. He intimated that any an
nouncement must come from another
source. He gave the above-quoted an
swer to the request for an interview.
Upon leaving the ,Lusitania the duke
faced a battery of cameras. but smil-
ing, passed up the dock to the rail-
road car and his compartment.
During the voyage over the duke
mingled freely with the other pas
sengers on board the Lusitania and
made some friends. but whenever the
subject of his engagement was mem
toned he Immediately changed the con-
versation, and thereafter avoided the
individual who brought this topic up.
Indicates Their lis an engagement.
The duke created an excellent i'm
preston on his fellow passengers. and
was quite the most cheerful spirit on
pCdA L CPCIlt liOoAo WaAhAit6 liAC
deck with his new-made friends.
Although the duke could not be
drawn out with regard to his reported
engagement, he gave the impression
that there was an engagement, but that
some f0rmalities would have TO be COM
pleted before announcement could be
made and that this announcement must
come through official Italian channels.
His continual cheerfulness on the voy-
age over is taken as proof that he at
least does not believe that there are
any insurmountable difficulties in the
way to his marriage to Miss Elkins.
The duke will reach London this
afternoon, and 1t is understood that he
will proceed direct for Rome.
HummeI, Abroad, Is Cheerful.
Abraham Hummel. the New York
lawyer who was released from prison
on March Is, also was a passenger on
the Lusitania. He was cheerful and
laughing when he landed and ex-
changed hearty greetings with friends.
He showed no signs of being i'll. He
received as much attention from re-
porters and photographers as did the
Duke of Abruzzi. but did not take it so
pleasantly.

REPUBLICANS TO
CHOOSE DATES FOR
THE CONVENTIONS
County Executive Committee
Favors April 80 and May |
for Congressional Meetings.

The executive committee Of the Es-
sex County Republican Committee met
this afternoon to consider the business
that is to come before the committee
tonight. 1t was practically agreed that
the Seventh and Eighth Congressional
district conventions to select two dele
gates each to the Republican national
convention should be held on the even-
ings of Thursday, April 80, and Friday,
May l. respectively, provided the
county committee approves.
The primaries for the election of
delegates to the Congressional district
and State conventions will be held
Tuesday, April 2S, as has been previous
ly published. In most cases the dele
gates who will sit in the Congressional
district conventions will represent Els
sex County at the State convention in
the Taylor Opera House, Trenton, on
Maya.
The Seventh district convention will
be held in Republican headquarters,
Halscy and Academy streets. The
Eighth. will be held either in Har-
burgers Hall. Ferry street, Newark, or
In Commonwealth Hall, East Orange,
unless the committee agrees, for the
sake of economy, to hold it in head
quarters, which is outside the district.
There was much gossip at headquar-
tiers about the four Essex delegates to
the national convention. 1t is impos-
sible to give a reliable slate until the
day Is over. Senator Everett Colby,
Assemblyman William p. Martin,
Colonel Henry A. Potter and other
Colbyite Republicans are aspirants for
places in the, Jersey delegation. of the
regulars DR.. Herman c. Fl. Herold,
County Chairman Alfred N. Dalrymple,
Henry Dickson and many others are
mentioned.
Essex County's attitude on the big
four, the men who are to go to Chicago
as MISUNDERSTANDING, was discussed
this afternoon. It was quite apparent
that all six of the men who are in the
race prominently have followers in the
county committee. Probably the Essex
men would favor the candidates in this
order, Governor Fort. State Chairman
Murphy, United States Senator Frank
Q. Briggs. United States Senator John
Kean. former Governor John w. Griggs
and State Assessor Davy Baird.
There was a boomlet floated for
former United States Senator John r.
Dryden for delegate-at-large, and This
name was discussed freely for district
delegate.

East Orange, last night.
Among these were the establishment
OF neighborhood Fairgrounds, the
building of a house of detention for
witnesses, to protect them from the
communicating influences of confinement
in the county jail. which, he said, was
the worst school for crime ever estab-
lished; the building Of a female re-
formatory, the abolition of alternative

probation system, and the doing away
with determinate sentences and the es-
t~ablishment of an extension of the pa
role system with a court of release
which would pass on all prisoners fit
ness for release.

his father before him. He used to take
cyanide whenever an attack came on,
and am sure his death must have been
from an overdose"
But his death was plainly a case of
suicide, Mrs. Postley," she was told.
II don't believe it, was the decided
answer. THE telegram we received
said it was heart trouble"
The Santa Barbara smart set was
shocked at the news. 1t was then re-
called that there had been rumors of
peculiar actions by Richardson ever
since his marriage. Several persons
who knew Richardson well stated that
they had suspected that he was not al
