WILSON TO SEE
ASSE MbLYMEN ON
|NSTALMEhT PLAN
Will Interview Essex Delegation,
a Few at a Time, on
Senatorship.

Governor-elect Woodrow Wilson, for
reagons best known to himself, is to
interview the Essex assemblymen-eiect
on the United States senatorship on
the instalment plan. Late this after
noon at Princeton four of the Essex
eleven viii be talked to- tomorrow
others will be interviewed in New
York city, and when DR.. Wilson re-
turns from st. Louis he will arrange
for a meeting with the remaining mem
bers of the delegation.
DR.. Wilson'S purpose is to come face
to face with every Democratic member
of the incoming Legislature. In wag-
ing his fight against the candidacy of
former United States Senate James
Smith, jr., the g-overnor-elect is resort
ing to every conceivable method.
Plum-Tree's Million n Strong Card.
His plum-tree, with 500 jobs, aggre-
eating 81, 900. 900 annually In salaries,
will, according to James E. MARITIME,
be one Of the most effectual weapons.
MARITIME said yesterday:
'"The governor Will help me by Great
Ing public sentiment In favor OF my
election, and Won know that patronage
creates public sentiment"
AssembIymen-elect Charles w.
Brown, Edward d. Balentine. Frank
A. Boettner and William p. hacksey
will go to Princeton at 4:30 o'clock
this afternoon. They will see the gov
ernor-elect in a body. DIR. Wilson's
move in inviting the Essex men, all
of whom are pledged to former United
States Senator James Smith, jr., for
the purpose OF "having a clear under
standing of the senatorship," has
amazed politicians of both parties.
Following Sc o copy OF the invita-
ton of the governor-elect to meet the
second in taln1ent of Essex assem-
blymen-elect in New York city:
DR.. Wilson's Invitations.
Princeton, Dec. 20, 1910.
I expect to spend Thursday after
noon, the ed. in New York at the
Colllngswood Hotel, 40 West Thirty
fifth street.
1t would crafty ME very much /
il you could make 1t convenient 10
call on In6 IHSFe SOul6 LliI1e DHIWeeH
the hours of Q and 5. Cordially and
sincerely, WOODROW WILSON.
DIR. Wilson probably realizes that it
is asking too much to expect all the
Essex men to go to his Princeton home,
and rather than meet them in Newark
he does the next most convenient"
thing by making the appointment for
New York city.
Trenton advices today are to the eff
feet that DR.. Wilson has also requested
Senator Cornish and Assemblyman
Cole, of Warren: Senator Price and AS
semblyman Meyer, of Sussex, and AS
semblyman Mathews. of Hunterdon. to
talk over the situation.
Before going to st. Louis DR.. Wilson
will issue another public statement on
the s~enatorship. II will no doubt be
an appeal to the Democratic legislators
to vote for MARITIME, and to the people
Of New Jersey to use their moral sup
Tort in hat direction.

W|THDRAWS FROM
GREGORY LEAGUE
Edward II. Wright, Sponsor of
Primary Senatorial Preference
Act, Issues Statement.

Former Assemhlyman Edward H.
Wright, sponsor of the primary sena-
tor.al preference act OF 1907, which had
for its purpose a movement to secure q
constitutional amendment providing for
the election of, United States senators
by the people. today formally with
draws as one Of the twenty-three men,
bers of the Julian A. Gregory League.
the admitted purpose of which was the
defeat of James Smith, jr., for United
States senator.
Issues Statement.
In order that his position might be
clearly and positively known. Mr..
Wright today issued the following
statement over his signature:
IT desire to make public my with
drawal from the membership of the
executive committee of the Bipartisan
Direct Primary League and from the
league itself. l was not taken into the
councils Of the men who originated the
idea. but [ was assured that the plan
had the support and approval of DR..
Wilson, which, ! am now informed,
were not given"
Mir. Wright added that one of his
reasons for withdrawing from the So
called "Bi-Partisan League" which was
supposed to have the Endorsement of
Governor-elect Wilson, was the fact
that Senator Harry V. Osborne, OF this
county, who is supposed to be the
spokesman of GoVernor-elect wilson
hereabout, had not attended any Of the
League meetings.
Personally / am, as an advocate Of
the direct election of United States
senators, in favor of II election or
the mar who was chosen, or appar-
emily chosen, under imperfect law.
81 wanted the Oregon plan. which
called for and rave all the people an
opportunity to make a declaratiye
statement on election day. =
sse step In Right Direction.
THE Republicans refused to go as far
as that, and even former Senator Colby
said the present law was no more than
a step in the right direction.
with the exception OF Senator Os-
borne, none OF the legislators are
pledged to vote for the primary choice.
That means that they are pledged
theoretically to vote for James Smith,
jr., who was made the real Issue by
the Republican party managers during
the campaign.
Third Candidate, "Bosh.'
"All this talk of a third candidate is
mere bosh. 1t is either James e.
MARITIME, who appea to have been
high on the senatorial preference pro-
position, or James Smith, 1r.
THAT was the real issue in the cam
paign, and IL 1 we're a member of the
Legislature, unless l had pledged
myself as the law provides, l would
vote for Mr.. Smith

Doctors Say, as It's Kin

NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 21.-It was
discovered at the Charity Hospital here
today that a 1~o-year-old boy who ar
rived yesterday as a hookworm patient
is suffering from three distinct kinds OF
Intestinal parasites, with strongyiidae
in predonlinance.
This is said by physicians here TO be
one OF the most remarkable cases on
record. Until recently the st~rongylidae
parasite was not considered serious, but
it has been fund that it's presence in
the human body is as bad as that OF the
hoohworm.
There is no cure, 40 far as is known,
for s~trongylidae. say the local physi-
clans.
The patient has been i'll for several
months. suffering dull pains in the
abdomen, these at times becoming
acute.
Experimental treatment with salol is
meeting with some success in the case.

MARTME'S BOOM
DIES ADJOINING
IN JERSEY CITY
Crowd Fails to Materialize at
Meeting Called for Repre-.
sentative Men,"

Jersey CITY, Dec. 2l.-In response
70 invitations sent out BY Dougal Herr
a LAWYER. who ran on the Republican
ticket for Assembly last fall n VINO
was rejected by the voters, a meeting
was held yesterday in the cour'
Of Bankruptcy Chambers in the Union
Trust Company building for the pur-
nose Of upholding Woodrow Wilson's
stand on the United states Senator
shin" The invitations were addressed
10 many Republicans as. well as Demo
Gratis. and zach recipient was urged as
"a leading and representative citizen
ST Jersey City, to attend.
AT Ii M. the. hour fixed for the
meeting, Mr.. Herr was the only lead
ing and representative citizen" who
was on hand. AS the time passed Mr.,
Herr began to show signs Of nervous
rtess. Although the call for the meet
ing had been printed in the local news
napers Mr.. Herr explained to the re-
porters that probably 1.-THE leading and
representative citizens had mistaken
the meeting place. He was about to
nou to the reporters that the
meeting would be declared Off wher
Assemblyman Joseph P. Tumulty, who
is aiding Gcvernor-elect Wilson to
make James F.. MARITIME United States
Senator. appeared on the scene. This
saved the day for Its leading ano
representative citizens
Mr.. Herr greeted Mr.. Tumulty as il
ne were & long lost brother and the
two held a hurried conference. The
dining-room of the Down Town Club,
composed of lawyers and business men,
is on the top foor of the Union Trust
Company building. A messenger was
sent UP there and in a few moments he
returned with half a dozen leading
and representative citizens"
Fatni Twenty-Three.
When Mr.. Herr finally called the
meeting to order there were just
twenty three leading and representa-
tive citizens" present.
This looks like a 'skidoo PROPOSE
ton . some one remarked, and Joseph
Cutten, "a contractor who talks much.
and say little. was moved To say why
h meeting wal hooded from the
start. The idea Of bringing Leading and
prominent citizens to af Bankruptcy

After MI. Herr ths. 2e5d the case
fur the meeting and apologized for the
lack of Interest displayed in the move
ment 10 send a free trader to the
Emitted States Senate. William c. Bar
ricklo, who enjoys the distinction OF
being q classmate of Woodrow Wilson
at Princeton, was made chairman.
IF this is a meeting of leading and
representative citizens Of Jersey City"
said a-8ell- known Democrat who stood
at the door long enough to scan the
faces, II feel sorry for Jersey City
Before a%djourning the meeting fol-
lowed the example of the three tailors
Of Tooley street and resolved that I'VE,
the people of Jersey City, ask the
legislators to vote for Woodrow Viii
sons candidate for United states Sena-
tor"
Later in the day Mr.. Tumulty said
ne thought Mr.. Wilson would be invited
70 address a massmeeting at the Peo-

OBITUARY
LUCIFN GREEN

4 %eAtAN
i This community Was deeply panied
hear Of the sudden death Wednesday morn
ing Of Mr.. Luc'en Green while playin
tennis. He told Mr.. James Lockwood wit
whom be was playing that be was not feel
ing ike engaging in the game. Still b
took bis racquet and had played severa
sets when he stopped aud leaned agalns
post for support, and even while max
ing some iocular remark about the pallo
he thought his face was showing, sanl
slowly to the ground and died almost be
fore anyone could bring medical aid Il
relieve him. Drs. Richie and VaughaE
cams on hurry summons to him, but hi
was unconscious when DR.. Vaughan ar
rived and dead when DR.. Ritchie came
shortly thereafter.
Mr.. Green was the youngest son Of the
late William and Mrs. Eliza Green, whom
together with four brothers and one sister
are mourning his untimely death. He
was fine young man of most estimable
character, and his sudden taking off will
bring sorrow and regret to wide circle
Of friends and acquaintances. Mr.. Green
was q graduate Of Delaware College, and
member of several Of the fraternities at
his Alma Mater. He VS. of q studious
bent of mind, and like bis gifted father
before him, fond of knowledge, especially
OF the practical sciences. He had been
engaged for q number of years before his
sad death in experimental biological re-
searches with view to discovering some
formula having germicidal action upon
intestinal ferments especially in the colon.
He made:numeFous proves Of his formulae
upon various small animals, and his
friends believe that had his g0nile and
useful life been spared to reach the WoDted
span, his IabOrs wonld have resulted in
come useful discoveries to science and
humanity.
In bis undergraduate days he was noted
as 9 foot ball player, 60 strenuous and
bold in his enthusiastic devotion to that
game, that he broke O collsrbone twice
in the furious scrimmagss. That Ee could
have done oil this without disclosing anV
evidences OF organic heart disease, or even
any diathesis or slant in that direction,
only renders the mystery of his sudden
death the deeper.
He was 20 years old, unmarried, and
lived in MiddIstown with his widowed
mother, Mrs. Eliza Green, 10 whom the
entire community extends its deepest
sympathy in her bitter lose. Mrs. Green
and daughter Miss Eliza, we're in the
West at the time of his death visiting
another son, Victor, who is living in
Colorado. She and her son and daughter
are to arrive in MiddletOWn this (Satur-
day afternoon.
Funeral services will be held at his
mothers residence Monday morning at
1880 o'clock, and the remains will be
inferred in S.. Annes Cemetery. Rela'
tiyes and friends are invited to attend
without further notice.
