BRITISH STEAMER
LURED ON ROCKS
BY NEW SIGNAL
Captain, Led Into Error by New
Alarm, Grounds Silvia on
Pigs and Sow Reef.

WOODS HOLE. Mass, March III.
A similarity between. the fog signal
on the i.c,v Hen AID Chickens Light
ship and that on the Vineyard Sound
Lightship is said to have been the
cause of the grounding Of the British
steamer Silvia from New York for
Halifax, n. s.. and st. Johns, n. r.,
on the Sow and Pigs Reef at the en-
trance to Vineyard Sound, just before
dawn today. The So passengers on
the Silvia. among whom We're the crew
OF the wrecked schooner Beta, eX-
pressed themselves and willing to re-
main ON the stranded steamer until the
tug Orion, which was also bound east
made a trip TO this port for help. Ar
rangements were made, however, to
take them off this noon and send them
to Boston.
AT the time of the accident there was
o thick fog, but the sea was smooth
and there was scarcely any wind. The
fog cleared later in the day.
The Silvia grounded within short
distance of the scene of the wreck Of
the steamer Fairfax in November, 1925
and it was the opinion of mariners Of
this place that she would have con-
siderable difficulty In extricating herself
from her position.

According to former Governor Frank
lin Murphy. State chairman, the State
Republican convention will, in all prob
ability, be held not later than Aprfl>14s
and the primaries which will elect dele
gates to 1t ON April u
The State chairman was disinclined
to give mis- opinion as to what the OUT
come of the election of the four dele-
gates-at-large to the national conven-
ton at Chicago would be.
"There seems to be a tendency this
year to depart from the general rule in
the election of these delegates" he
said ''rhere are many who, have
worked hard in the campaigns and are
not looking for Office who believe that
they arc entitled to some reward for
their efforts.
Former Governor Griggs and David
Baird, of Camden, are in that class,
and they look to the delegate large
election to give them some compensa-
ton for Services rendered The State
chairman might even come under that
head.
s'I have heard that there has been
considerable guessworlS about who will
be the four elected. bat 1T can only be
guesswork until the State convention.
There are six men mentioned for the
positions and four of them will prob
ably get them. Who they will be l can
not say.
''The suggestion that all six be sent,
with each man having two thirds Of a
vote ] do not believe can be followed.
even if it We're desirable The call
reads that four delegates-at-large shall
be elected. not that four votes be sent
to the national convention
When asked whether it might not be
possible that in view of Governor Fort 8
probable nomination for the vice-presi-
dency that the Governor would appear
as a spectator instead of a delegate at
ne convention in Chicago, Mr.. Murphy
nodded, but did not admit anything
further.

not appear to like it at all. So what
are you going to do?'

That's What Administration

To 250 banqucters at the annual din
ner of the Mems Club of the Mum
Avenue Presbyterian Church of East
Orange last night, Governor Fort. made
answer to his critics who oppose the
course he is taking on the local option
question. The Governor came out for
conservative action. intimating that the
local option measure had been prama-
turely introduced into the Legis turc,
and deprecating the methods employed
by its friends to force its passage.
The Governor said in part:
"'The three branches of this magniff-
cent system of government which we
have, legislative executive and judi
ciai, arc absolutely distinct. The
Governor of tho State is char ged with
execution of the law, that is all. He
can do only two things, and those two
are accommodation to the Legislature
and then approve the bills Yet you
would think according to some people
that | were the whole Legislature.
Some people seem to forget that the
Legislature has 81 votes, and the
Governor not one. A man must be
Judged in government by what no does
in his department.
