ASBURY AFTER
BIG SESSION
Want National Republican
Convention Held Thsrs.

Asbury Park, June 29:-An effort
is being made on the part Of the
Asbury Park officials to induce the
National Executive Committee of the
Republican party TO decide on this
city for the convention in 1912. The
matter will be taken up to the county
committee by Harold E. Denegar,
and from there to the state commit
tee. Former Governor Franklin
Murphy, who is one of the national
committeeman, will be talked to on
the subject.
The officials are of the belief that
Asbury Park will be an ideal spot
for the big convention. 1t is their
opinion that the business of the con-
vention can be combined with a little
pleasure. These conventions are
usually held in June, and if in an in
land city the delegates suffer great
discomfort because of the weather.
1t is believed that the Ocean Grove
Campmeeting Association will give
the Auditorium for the use Of the
convention. The seating capacity of
this great hall is 10, 900. In 1908
the convention was held in Chicago,
in the Colosseum. That place holds
but 5000.
II the local men are successful
Asbury Park may be truly called a
convention city. AS it is, there are a
number of conventions held here
every year for the simple reason that
1t affords the delegates an opportu-
nifty of getting the desired recreation
after a hot summer days work.

REPLIES TO
PLAINfIELD CRITICS

Plainfeld, June 29:-Edmund
Rushmore, chairman of the commit
tee on supplies of the North Plain
field Board of Education, replying to
the statements of the local coal deal
ers that it is necessary to publicly
advertise for bids for coal, stated
yesterday that in boroughs the law
does not make 1t compulsory and
that the committee acted clearly
within it's rights. He says that sever
dealers were invited to submit bids
and that the contract was awarded
to the -Dunellen Coal and Supply
Company, that-concern submitting
the lowest figures.
Mr.. Rushmore says that last year
all Of the dealers were invited to
present bids, but a number did not
do so, and for this eason no atten-
ton was paid to them this year. One
dealer informed Mr.. Rushmore that
he declined to present q bid, the lat
ter says. The question vas agitated
by some of the local coal dealers
who claimed that it was compulsory
that bids be publicly advertised. That
only applies to cities.

NEW YORK'S HIGHEST FIRE.

men to Climb Twenty-four Flights.
New York, June 29.-New York's
most peculiar fire happened in the
heart Of downtown, On the highest con-
structed floor of the new Municipal
building, at Park row and Chambers
street.
Because the blaze was 450 above the
g~round-the highest fire of any size
the town has ever had-it couldn't be
seen at all anywhere in the neighbor-
hood. The alarms summoning engines
to put 1t out were SEN in from Jersey
City, from the East river front and
from Brooklyn. From those distant
places 1t looked like a considerable
conflagratfon.
And because the skeleton building Is
equipped with only n lifting appa-
ratus the fremen had to toll their way
up twenty-four stories, Juggling a hose
line after them. But they finally got
the blaze out with the trifing loss of a
couple Of hundred dollars. 1t was
caused by a red hot rivet.
