HOLDS MONDAY DINNER,
Business Affairs Discussed al
Meeting at Hotel Broad.

Forty members of the Newark Credit
Mems Association were present at the
first noon-day dinner held at the Hotel
Broad yesterday noon. Owing to the
fact that the hotel is undergoing altera-
lions, 1t was necessary to hold a dinner
in the public dining room. The mem
bers of the association talked over
business and financial affairs during
the meal but no set addresses were
made.
1t was the general opinion that the
dinners of this year will be a big sue
cess, as plans are under way to devote
less time to the dinner proper and more
time-to talks from members of the as
ISOLATION and outside visitors.
1t is now planned to allow half an
hour for the dinner and an hour for
discussion of subjects of interests.

REPUBLICANS MUST DEFINE
POSITION ON VITAL ISSUES
Democrats Vow to Force Rivals
: to Show Hand.

AFTER constant pounding by the
Democratic party, the Republicans
came out into the open for a few
minutes and drafted a platform said
William p. Macksey, Democratic can
didate for the Assembly, at the meet
ing of the Tenth Ward Democratic Club
at SO Pacific street last night. 1T was
a small platform. 1t didn't v a lot
of ground and wasn't a great improve
ment ON their former policy of silence.
Then they went back into their tents.
We will keep after them until they are
compelled to tell the voters Of the
county what they stand for"
Mono of the speakers at the meeting
spared the Republican party in any
particular. The acts Of the representa-
tives sent to the House last year,
especially Lewis G. Bowden and Thorn
as II. Brooks, were a~rraigned by the
various speakers, and their failure to
work in the interests of the people
pointed out.
Edward d. Balentine, another of the
Assembly candidates, was the principal
speaker. He said In part:
1--WE reaffirm the principle of equal
taxation and call the attention Of the
voters of Essex County to the fact
that Democratic representatives in the
New Jersey Legislature have wrung
from hostile Republican administra-
tions all the remedial legislation that
has tended to place the proper burden
of taxation upon the railroads"
Assembly Candidate William A. Hy-
land, who has been i'll since the pri-
maries, made his first speech of the
campaign last night. The other candi-
dates who spoke were Frank A. Boett-
ner and John ID. Bracken, candidates
for the Assembly, and Major Isaac
Shoenthal, who is running for surro-
gate.

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-State Senator
p. II. McCarren's illness took a turn
for the worse this afternoon. He made
his will and a priest was summoned

them half a hundred of his lieutenants.
But none were admitted, except his
private secretary, who was given if
teen minutes to tell Senator McCarren
the news of the campaign in the city
and TO convey the most urgent mes
sages from his men. Later, when he
was in the midst of the sinking spell,
the hospital authorities decided to cut
the telephone wires and these viii re-

COOK CHARGES
PLOT IN MOVE To
D|sCRED|T HIM
Explorer, in Atlantic City Inter-
view, Says Money Was Be-
hind Barrill Affidavit.

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 15.-Eyen
after he had read carefully the COM
plete affidavit of Edward n. Barrill n
an editorial accusing him of being a
humbug, DIR. Cook still declined to dis
cuss the grave charges thai have been;
made against his veracity in the Bar
rill affidavit.
1.-THE information that General Hub
bard is interested in the newspaper
publishing the Rarrill affidavit put a
new light on the matter, and explains
some things that | could not under
stand" he said. But until / know still
more about how the affidavit was OBJ
tanned l must decline to go further into
a discussion of it.
II cannot understand how Barrill
could have made such a statement as Is
attributed to him." he finally consented
to say. II must believe hat there is
something very serious behind It,"
There DIR. Cook stopped short, but his
managers went further and intimated
that 1t might be shown that Barrill had
been paid at least the amount that has
been said to have been due him for
several years.
II certainly shall not make any de-
tailed statement until l know more
about the circumstance of the affi-
davit. After my return to New York
l may be In a better position to speak,"
Have you had any reason to believe
Barrill to be unfriendly to you?" he
was asked.
None whatever. He is a good fell
low, not an educated man, but / al
ways found him straight and l haven't
the slightest idea why he should say
these things. / nno but think that
undue influence of some kin must
a W been brought to bear on him."
81 have always had the most COM
plete confidence in Barrill and cannot
comprehend why he should have sworn
to such a story. The fact that General
Hubbard is proprietor of the Globe
throws q light on the affair which was
not previously apparent. | shall see
Barrill, l hope, when / reach New
York. but l do not know when or
where.
ut appears to me that there was
money behind his statement. He was
perhaps annoyed that he had not been
paid his wages, u that was not my
fault, and l remedied the matter as
soon as I got back from the pole"
DR.. Cook left here at 9:1O a. m. to-
day for New York.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-The Uni
versity of Copenhagen was today re-
quested by the National Geographic
Society to its first claim to
an examination of DR.. Cooks observa-
tions made during his search for the
pole.
HARTFORD, Ark, Oct. l5.-James A.
Bolen, a coal mining operator. we'll
known in the Southwest. and who says
he has hunted with the companions
who made the Mount Mckinley trip
with DIR. Frederick A.. Cook. is cred
tied with declaring here today that he
did not believe Edward Barrill had
signed the Mount Mckinley affidavit
credited to him in the story sent out
from New York yesterday.
