Political Gossip That Present Sur

state some fifteen years ago, Middle
sex county is practically certain to
have Democratic Judge of the
County Court of Common Pleas with
the expiration Of the term of Judge

AS the Republicans while in power
made custom OF appointing judges
from their own party 1t is likely that
the Democrats now in power In the
state and largely in the county will
urge such move on the part of
Governor-elect Woodrow Wilson
when he takes office. Such is the
opinion at least of the Democratic
politicians throughout the county

According to a report which was
prevalent this morning the property
Of William Buchanan, at the south
west corner of Smith and State
streets, has been sold for $4,000.
The information was that Harry
Conard, cashier Of the First National
Bank, had purchased the property
together with several other promi-
nent men. Mr.. Conard, however.
when seen by an EVENING NEWS
representative, denied emphatically
that he had bought the property
either for himself or anyone else.
He declared that he had not been
negotiating for the place and knew
nothing about the report until this
morning when some one asked him
If 1t was true
According to the story negotia-
tions for the property were started
last week with Mr.. Buchanan. 1t
seems that Cornelius P. Convery,
former city treasurer, has always
wanted to buy the land and had
some sort of an agreement with Mr..
Buchanan that If ever the property
was to be sold that he should have

that last Tuesday night Mr. Convery

New York, Nov. 30:--Dr. Freder-
ick A. Cook has confessed. This an
nouncement was made today by Ben
jamin Hampton, editor OF the maga-
zine that paid $4,000 for Com
mander Peary's story of his trip to
the North Pole. In his Gown story"
the first installment of which will
appear In the January number of
Hampton's magazine, Cook frankly
admits that he does not know wheth-
er he reached the North Pole or not.
In the opening article dealing par
ticularly with the psychology of his
adventure. Cook declared: did /
get to the North Pole? Perhaps, /
made mistake, thinking | did. Per-
haps did not make mistake. Af-
ter mature thought l confess / do
not know absolutely whether /
reached the pole or not This may
come as an amazing statement, but
! am willing to startle the world if,
y so doing, l can get an opportun-
ity to present my case. / mean not
my case as geographical discoverer,
but my case as a man. Much as the
attainment of the North Pole once
meant to me, the sympathy and con-
fidence of my fellow-men mean
more. | shall tell everything and
leave the decision with you. If, af-
ter reading my story, you say
Cook sncere and honest; half
crazed by months of isolation and
hungry, he believed that he
reached the pole, he is not faker'
then I shall be satisfied"
Cook declares it would be impos-
sible for any man to demonstrate
that he had been to the North Pole.
He characterized the far north as q
region of insanity. Where one
cannot believe the evidence gather
ed by ones own eyes Cook de-
clared that all the time he has been
away he made no attempt at con-
cealment nor wore disguise. He
will return to the United States on
November 9th, His soul desire in
writing the story is to make the peo-
pie of the United States realize lust
what he went through during the
two and one-half years of Arctic
fast messes and make them see what
processes of thinking or lack OF
thinking 1t was that led him to do
the thing which confirmed to the
average mind the worst suspicion
about him.
