Democrats Hear OF an Alleged
Scheme to Seat Book and

CITIZENS DECLARE THEY

Story Is That District and Ward

Instructions.

An alleged plot to trade Taft votes
for ballots to defeat Democratic NOM
inees for Mayor and Board of Works
was told today, when many Republi-
cans, who believed that Taft's election
is necessary to the prosperity of the
country. complained that they had
been approached by their ward and dis
trict leaders.
The sacrifice of the presidential noni-
nee, in order that the local Republican
machine may elect Book and the norni-
nees for the Board of Works, was
|deemed expedient, 1t was said today, BY
the machine leaders. who are, It -
termined to go to any length to keep
the Board of Works Republican and to
dispiace Mayor Hausling.
/ All district and ward leaders are said
! to have been instructed by the men
| higher up at headquarters to martyr
every other man on the ticket, from
President down, in order to elect the
| candidates for mayor and Board of
Works. Polls and straw ballots have
| indicated that Haussling has an easy
lead for reelection, and that he would
carry with him the two Democratic
nominees for Board OF Works.
Republican leaders. for reasons Of
their own, deem the capture of the
mayoralty and the retention of the
Board of Works to be paramount, even
to the election of Taft and the rest OF
the ticket, their opponents say. For
that reason the district and ward lead
ers, who are assumed TO be .close to
the people," have been instructed, ac-
cording to reports made to Democratic
headquarters today, to see Democrats
whose votes are in doubt and trade
Taft for Book and the Board of Works.

Americans who consider Taft's election

Is alleged to have pulled Mrs. Tauder's
hair, few nights ago in front of the
Tauder home. A detective attached to
the Newark police department is also
involved in the charges made by Mrs.
Tauder.
The crisis in Mrs Tauder's domestic
affairs came, she AYERS, when Sarah

left her aunt and came to live in the
Tauder household Sarah made an afil-
davit, which Mrs. Tauder says she will
use in the suit. Then, from an uu
