The twenty-nine governors let the
big guns at Fort Hancock, SANDY
Hook, make most of the noise yes
terday. There was no more sparrlng
between the progressive and reac-
tionaries, though the westerners beat
the eastern men three to n at d
real target practice at Sea Grit.
Following a statement that the
state regulation of interstate COM

A telegram was received n read
before the House of Governors from

the latter declared that he was IN
favor of divorce reform and uniform

Previous to this the governors
wrestled with the employers liability
problem. Governor Foss of Massa-
chusetts, who with Hay of Washing
ton delivered the formal addresses,
claimed priority for Massachusetts ID
enacting a wOrkman's compensation
law.

are in full operation" Governor Nc

Tuesday, but the atmosphere was too
heavily laden with deep thought.
To most of the governors, who were
invited by the war department to see
what could be done to a battleship that
tried to be rough with New York city,
the exhibition of craftsmanship was q
treat. Some, like Stubs of Kansas,
stood by glumily, shaking their heads

by Governor Hay of Washington, the
other by Governor Foss of Massachu-
sets, but several took part In the In
formal exchange of opinions.

ton was called to a statement purport'
ing to come from Governor Osborn OF
Michigan to the effect that he had not
attended the conference because it was
merely a gathering to boom Wilson for
the Democratic nomination for presi
dent.
Governor Wilson had nothing to say
in reply, but Ex-Governor Fort Of New
Jersey did what talking was necessary
1t was he who as governor of New Jer
sey got the conference for Spring
Lake, said Governor Fort, and Wood
row Wilson had nothing to do with 1t
Moreover, he added, Governor Osborn
wrote on Aug. 16 last and again OF
Aug. 80 that he was looking forward
with pleasure to being here. All of tn,
governors Joined in saying that 1t wa
decidedly untrue and unfair to Gov

Lake conference was to be used t
further his candidacy.
