new YORK ROW
is FELT HERE
Republican Politicians Rea-
lize the Effect on New
Jersey Commuters.
ATTACK ON ROOSEVELT
Especial Correspondence

Trenton, Aug. 24:-While not di-
rectly concerned in the troubles in
which the New York state republic
cans are involved as a result of the
row yer the question of acknowl-
edgfng former President Roosevelt
as a power in the party, New Jersey
republican leaders are apprehensfve
of the effect the dissention may have
in this state Discussing this situa-
ton today, a prominent state repub-
lican leader said:
Probably more than $4,000 New
Jersey voters living in the commit
ing zone of the metropolitan district
spend every business day In New
York city, and a very large number
of these voters know as much, and
many of them more, about New
York politics than they do about the
political affairs of their own state.
OF course, they talk politics with
the New York voters who are associ-
ated with them in business, and in
variably from the New York point Of
view. Then, too, they read New
York newspapers, and, OF course, in
this way become intensely interested
in political quarrels that are pecu-
lldT 10 new IOrk state.
Now, l know from careful obser-
walton and experience hat an enor-
nous number of New Jersey COM
muter voters vote not according to
conclusions acquired from a knowl-
edge of affairs in New Jersey but
rather from opinions formed out of
interest and discussion in New York
state politics. 1t may surprise you,
but 1t Is a fact, nevertheless, that
there are thousands of men who
vote In New Jersey, citizens who live
in small committing towns, who sell
dom, If ever, read a New Jersey
newspaper. Considering these con-
dittons, 1t Is very easy to understand
that there are a large number of re-
publican voters in New Jersey whose
balloting is quite likely to be inf1n.
enced by the intensely bitter feeling
that exists between the rival repub-
lican factions in New York.
THE danger to New Jersey repub-
licans in this situation lies in the
fact that IL the New York leaders
who now have control of the party
organization, continue to affront
Roosevelt, it Is going to result in in
ducfng many New York republicans
to vote against their party this fall
with the idea hat a house-cleaning
is necessary and it can only be ac-
complished In one way, and that is
by electing democrats. Now, If the
drift. is that way in New York. you
mark my word, you will find 1t re-
fleets in the action of the New Jer-
sey commuter vote subject to the
environment of a New York business
setting. 1t does not require much
argument to show that such a condi-
ton will not be advantageous
for the republican candidates In New
Jersey.
1.-THE situation that 1 have out
lined prevails strongly in Hudson,
Essex, Bergen, Union and P~assaic,
and perhaps a couple of other
North Jersey counties"

Dipping tho Flag Ranks Before the
Booming of tho Guns.
In the days before cannon and In
deed until comparatively recent times
a vessel made its %salutation by lower
ing or dipping" its flag. This is the
oldest and most honorable greeting
which a ship can give. 1t ranks before
the booming Of guns. however many.
This salute has always been demand
ed By English speaking seamen, and its
exaction has burned the hearts and the
powder Of generations Of naval com
manders. For a foreign ship, whether
merchant or martial, to enter an Eng
fish port without yelling topsails or
dipping its national flag was to court
the chances of war, although the pro-
foundest peace existed. Without warn
ing or argument the shore defenses or
a man-of-war would send a round of
shot across the bows or between the
masts of the insoIent intruder, and-if
the offending flag came not down in
stantiy the foreigner was brought to
her senses by being raked through and
through. Such was the reception &C.
corded by Sir John Hawkins In the
sixteenth century to the Spanish ad-
miral who in time Of peace sailed into
Portsmouth sound without yelling his
topsails or lowering his flag.
salutes are essential matters Of naval
etiquette and are exchanged under an
elaborate code arranged between the
powers. The number Of guns to be
fred under all conceivable eireum-
stances is infinitely snpalated.-New

Russian Peasant Weddings.

A peasant wedding in Russia means
a festival for the whole village and
often for the young people from neigh
boring villages as we'll. Weeks before
the eventful day the young girls as
semble at the home of the bride to help
her sew. The bridegroom comes with
his men friends to treat them to nuts
and sweets. Appropriate songs are
sung, and the ~bridegroom's generosity
is put to the test. One Of the girls
holds out to him a plate. and IL he puts
down a silver coin they sing him a
song full Of compliments, but If he
gives copper and is known to be able
to. afford more mockery follows. The
whole village is invited to the mar
rage ceremony which is performed
with all the ancient superstitious rites
and solemnities.

HAS
RECORD TURN
Thrills Rival Aviators by
His Daring Stunts in New
Model Asropiane.
ASBURY PARK MEET

Asbury Park, Aug. 24:-One OF
the hVe famous fiiers, who have been
sailing aeroplanes out over the In
terlaken aviation field during the
present meet, made an honest con-
Iesslon yesterday afternoon. The
airman was looking upward as WAX
ter brookins doubled up and down
the neid like an aerial Jack rabbit.
There isn't another ffier living
n can turn like that" the rival
hier said. III any Of us tried it and
especially with that new model
plane, we would be killed. Even Or
vile Wright can't turn a complete
circle in less than eleven and one-
half seconds and Brookins is doing 1t
In almost half that time"
An instant after the aviator spoke
Brookins did spin a circle in less
thar half that time" Brookins
had been in the air about four min
utes, when, as he reached a point
more h 500 feet above the centre
of the field with a strong southeast
breeze speeding him higher each mo-
ment, he suddenly tilted at an angle
that caused gasps and spun eom-
pletely around in five and a half sec
onds, according to the stop watch.
AS the official sanction of the
meet lasted only throughout the
final three days of last week, Brook
ms record whirl of yesterday is not
official. At the Indianapolis meet
last June Brookins turned his mas
chine all the way around in six and
two-ifths seconds, which is now the
officially recognized fast twist In the
air. The machine with which he
bettered his official record yesterday
is the new Wright model that Is
flown with only an e~levating plane
aft of the upright rudders and no
forward e%levating controls at all.
During an earlier flight yesterday
afternoon, Brookins gave another
surprise to the crowd. While run
ming high before the stiff breeze he
throttled down his motor suddenly
and swooped the machine onto the
ground. Just as everybody was ex-
pecting to see his skids slide along
the grass he threw the engine on full
speed, jumped $50 feet into the air
and just at the top of the roller
coaster he shut off his engine dead
and floated gently to the green.

SAYS FOWLER HAS QUIT
CONGRESSIONAL FIGHT

Elizabeth, Aug. 24-Many friends
of Congressman Charles N. Fowler,
who are making a fight in the Fifth
District for his denomination, were
disappointed to learn that he had
filed a petition making him a candi-
date for the United States senator
ship. He cannot be a candidate
both for the upper house of congress
and the lower house of congress at
the same time in good faith, and
they figure that he has withdrawn
from the race for the nomination for
the House of Representatives, leav-
ing a clear field for William N.
Runyon, of Plainleld.
The primary law provides for the
printing of the names of the candi-
dates for the various offices on the
tickets at the public expense. For
this reaso only those candidates
r entitled to this favor from the
taxpayers who are acting in good
faith. otherwise the primary ticket
could be loaded with the names of
candidates who had not the least
support and who might enter the
race with no idea Of making the con-
test, or accepting the office if elect
ed. This would entail an unneces-
sary expense upon the public. Only
those names, therefore, are allowed
upon the primary tickets who are
there In good faith.
AS an evidence of good faith, the
primary law requires: First, a suffi-
cient amount of support to warrant
the candidate in entering the con-
test, and that 1t is evidenced by the
petitions; second, the acceptance by
the candidate of the effort made in
his behalf by his friends, for what
ever the office may be. This accept
ance involves his guarantee to serve
if nominated and elected. He can
not, in good faith, sign two accept
ances and promise to fill two offices.
Congressman Fowler has filed his
acceptance in connection with his
senatorial, candidacy, and the men
who are candidates for delegates for
him for the congressional nomina-
ton cannot, therefore, In good faith
sign their acceptances for the nomi-
nation of a man who has agreed to
stand as a candidate for United
States senator and accept if elected.
The constitution prohibits him
from holding two Offices, and as
Congressman Fowler has agreed in
good faith to accept the senatorship
and as a mar Of honor will abide by
his decision in this respect, end, as
the settlement of the senatorial
question may not be made before
next February, Congressman Fow-
Ter, it is figured, naturally takes
himself out of the congressional
