-1ayor Haussling and Mrs. Haussling,
who returned on Saturday from a
months visit to New Orleans, enter
tanned Mayor Martin Behrraan, Super
~tntendent of Canals O'Connor and
Councilman Walter Murphy, Of New
orleans, together with a number of per-
n friends of this city. at a dinner
at the mayors home, 440 High street,
last evening.
Mayor Haussling is not a stranger in
New Orleans, and he and Mayor Behr-
man are on a footing such as only old
friends who share many ide-~ in CON-
mon attain. 1t has been Mayor
Haussling's custom. following his three
successful campaigns, to spend a few
weeks in the south. and New Orleans
has always been chosen as the scene of
his outing and rest.
There is much about the city, aside
from its historic associations, that the
mayor admires. and it's many munich
pal improvements, some of which are
along the lines which Mayor Haussling
has planned for Newark, are an un-
ending source Of interest and study to
him.
Speaking of the city's docks and
waterfront development in New Or
leans. Mayor Haussling said yesterday:
Tells Of Crescent City's Water Front.
In New Orleans the city owns more
than fourteen miles of the entire water
front and 1t is of inestimable value to
the city. Like Newark, the people of
New Orleans did not at first appreciate
the desirability of these holdings by
the city, but they have come to regard
this public ownership as n of the
most valuable things they possess.
Newark Is even better off han New
Orleans in the possibilities of water
front development, and l think our
people will realize it in time and ap-
probate what this improvement would
mean to the city"
In commenting OIL the senatorial
situation in this State the mayor said:
Says 0overnor-EIecf Went Too Far.
you know that I have just returned
and all / know about It is what / have
heard in the short time that I am here.
Governor-elect Wilson has gone too far,
in my estimation. and I am convinced
hat every good Democrat and every
man who voted for me feels the same
way. The merits of the men who are
mentioned for the position Of United
States Senator are obvious and I was
more surprised than any man in Me
state that the Governor-elect should
place any weight in the primary vote
for United States Senator under the
conditions by which 1t was solicited.
The question Is one which solely inter-
1c&o kIa ,oaarnhnro ~ tho Incoming
Legislature and I can't see where I
have any right to express any prefer
ence either one way or the other"
There was no attempt at formal
speechmaking at the dinner. but the
guests from the South, together with
Mayor Haussling and City Counsel
James R.. Nugent, spoke in a light vein
and exchanged courtesies with the Of
fcials from the Crescent City.
Mayo Haussling assured his South
ern friends that they could count on
Newark's support in their efforts to
secure h Panama Exposition.
Others who wers present at the din
ner were Augustus F. Eggers, Board of
Works commissioner; Fire Commits
sioner T.. Edward Burke, former Free
holder Edward Eaton. Joseph Heisler,
Tax Commissioner Moses Reichman,
Citv Home Trustee Louis V. Aronson,
Valentine Braun. ]. Mannix, superin-
tendent of buildings of Jersey City;
Louis Kenngott, John ]. Gilroy and
Jacob Holtzmann. better known as
Jake the barber"
Mayor Haussling. upon eachl the
CITY Hall today, found many impor-
tant matters awaiting his attention.
Acting Mayor Pennington having
gracefully refrained from ~disposing OF
the more important of the issues IN
the mayors absence. The latter SAID ne
never felt better In his life and was
ready to tackle the many important
and complicated issues that Will snort
Nv come before him. Among other
things he will continue his efforts In
favor of meadow reclamation ana
waterfront development.
New Orleans Omcials Depart.
Mayor Behrman and his party left

posed Panama exposition. 1t was the
original intention of Mayor Haussling
and a number Of the city officials to

IN wednesday night and tender them

Although all the members of the
marty from the South said they would
be delighted to remain and see more of
