ST0LYP|N MAY
RESIGN WITH
HIS CABINET
Russian Premier Puts 1t Up to
Car Whether Government
Is to Remain.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 6.-The
campaign against Premier Stolypin
which the R-eactionaries and the cour-
tiers close to Emperor Nicholas have
been waging for the past two years and
which broke out with especial yigor
during the absence of the premier from
st. petersburg, has been brought to o
head by M. Stolypin himself, who has
demanded that his Majesty either dis
associate himself from these schemes. or
accept the resignation Of the entire
cabinet.
This decision centres on the bill
creating a general staff for the navy,
sanction of which M. Stolypin has de-
manded as an ultimatum. The bill it.
self is considered of minor importance.
The real question at issue is whether
the opponents of M. Stolypin are to be
permitted to continue to sap the u
thority of the cabinet and weaken it's
prestige by continually raising similar
points.

O'CONNOR SAYS HE'D
WORK HARD FOR ELECTION.
Suggested as Likely Candidate
for Kearny Mayor.

Possible mayoralty candidates in
Kearny were discussed last night at
a town committee meeting at Quincy
Hall, Arlington. Though the election
is six months away supporters of at
least two aspirants were informally
active. John r. O'Connor is known to
be a prospective candidate and ad-
mitted last night that he had been
asked to run for the office. He said he
would do all he could to Obtain his
election, if nominated. He is at present
a member of the Health Board and is
also prominent in West Hudson fra
ternal organizations.
Mr.. O'Conncr will not be alone in
the running, as the present incumbent,
Louis M. Brock, will likely seek reelec-
ton. Brock is just finishing his first
term. He was elected to Office in 1907,
defeating Henry Crookall by only six
ty-two votes. Brock was the choice of
the Democrats and the Independent
party.
