New Jersey Democrats
Praise Wilson as Leader

TRENTON, N. J., Oct. 4.-Only
GOV. Wilson's earnest appeal to the
democratic state convention yester.
day prevented the adoption OF q reso-
luton indorsing him for the Demo.
cratic presidential nomination.
He was the predominating factor
In the meeting, the first to be held
under the Geran law, and which con,
sisted Of rs men, including Gov. VII.
son, Democratic hold-over state sena-
tors and Democratic candidates for
the senate and assembly.
Gov. Wilson was chairman of the
committee on resolutions, which spent
three hours preparing the platform.
when the resolutions had been adopt
ed Assemblyman Egan, of Hudson
county, offered resolution pledging
the support Of the convention to Gov.
Wilson for the presidency. f..
The governor was on his feet In an
instant, and moved that the resolution
be laid on the table. He argued that
1t was contrary to the spirit Of the
Geran election law for a state conven-
tiop. to indorse anybody's candidacy.
Indication of choice for the presi-
dency, he said, was vested in the peo-
pie through the election OF delegates
to the national convention and this
Is where the matter should rest After
the governors talk the convention
adopted his motion to lay the matter
on the table.
Just before the convention ad-
journed Assemblyman Bracken, OF Es-
sex county. rose to a question or
privilege and stated that Gov. Wilson
In a recent speech had declared that
Mr.. Bracken and Assemblyman Shall
voy had not supported the governors
policies in the last legislature. Mr..
Bracken said the records would show
that neither he nor Mr.. Shalvoy had
voted against any of the governors
measures and called upon the COVER
nor to withdraw his accusation. Gov.
Wilson said he had nothing to retract.
He said there were other ways OF OPP
posing legislation besides voting In
the negative and that he knew where
of he spoke as to the attitude OF the
two gentlemen with respect to certain
measures.
The platform adopted Endorses the
able and brilliant administration OF
Gov. Woodrow Wilson" and expresses
"entire approval OF the progressive
legislation enacted during the winter
Of 1910-11."
II demands reform in the system OF
seIecting grand juries and petit juries
and a change in the system OF taxa
tion with a view to equalizing taxes.
other planks demand a more rigid
regulation OF corporations incorpor-
ated in New Jersey, favor conserva-
tion OF the forests and water for the
benefit OF the people; commend the
federal house OF representatives for
its revision Of rules; advocates tne
extension Of factory and workshop In
spection and favor the safeguarding
of railroad travel through the passage
of a full crew bill

HUGH SHEPHERD
NOW PROSECUTOR
Predicted Program Goes Through,
Judge VanZile Swinging His Sup
port From Wilkins.

As predicted in The Times several
days ago, and repeated Tuesday, Hugh
Shepherd. unsuccessful candidate for
circuit Judge and one Of the best
known Republican politicians In the
city, was named prosecuting attorney
for Wayne county to fill out the un-
expired term of Judge Van Zile.
Mr.. Shepherds selection was made
possible by Van Zile swinging into
line with the other Republican judges,
after he had stated positively that he
would not support Shepherd. In Mon
days meeting Of the judges, Van Zile
first voted for Fred H. Aldrich, and
seeing that Mr.. Aldrich had no chance
shifted his vote to Charles t. VIII
kins.
Tuesday The Times announced that
O deal had been arranged whereby
Judge Van Zile would vote for Shep-
herd, In return for a promise that
Don Van Zile. the former prosecu-
tors son, would be retained as assist
ant prosecutor.
The vote was on strict party lines,
Judges MandtN, Donovan. Codd and
Van Zile voting for Shepherd, and
Hosmer and Murphy for wilkins.
Mr. Shepherd says he has made no
promises to anyone, and he will not
say what he will do regarding berth
for Don Van Zile.

arrived here late last night on spe-

food. Five hundred families are de-

clothing, however.
Many of the bodies now being re-
covered are burned beyond recogni-

mains. The funerals OF the identified
dead are progressing rapidly. but the

This expression by Judge Yaple, one
Of the most prominent Democrats In
Michigan, gives the sentiment Of the
people in this section on the possible
candidacy for president Of the New
Jersey executive whose work In secur-
ing the passage OF many progressive
measures through the legislature in
his state has made him one OF the
most prominent men In public affairs.
Gov. Wilson's broad viewpoint Of
the leading questions has won him
many admirers in this district His
enthusiastic supporters are found not
only In the Democratic ranks, but in
the Republican fold as well.
That he Is built of the proper ma
terial for president, and that his atti-
tude on important issues Of the past
and on he leading questions OF today
has gained the confidence of men In
all walks Of life Is attested by the
open pledge OF more than one hun
dred Republicans who have been In
terviewed. Some OF them are life
long Republicans. but they say en-
phatically that they will support Gov.
Wilson for the Democratic president
ial nomination In every way possible
and vote for him II he is nominated

Difficulty in Effort To Search
For Hidden Treasure.

LEAvENwoRTH. Kan. Oct. A.
When Mrs. Catherine Schultz. an aged
recluse, was murdered and her home
set afire nearly two years ago, II gem
orally was believed that she had .
large amount of cash In her home. A
search revealed less than $500. After
she was buried the ruins OF her home
were torn down and the cellar filled
and later the propery was sold.
Since then relatives have come into
possession of information that leads
them to believe that Mrs. Schultz had
between $4,000 and $4,000 In cash
hidden somewhere on the premises.
They say they have exact information
of the hiding place and are attempt
ing now to get an order to search the
property for IL.
The new owner has refused to per
NIT this and the heirs have gone 70

PLAYING AT SUICIDE IS
POPULAR PASTIME HERE
Arthur Sylvester and William knowles
Get Ride In Ambulance, But
Coroner liant Needed.


Playing at suicide seems to have
become quite popular pastime these
days.
For the second time within two
days, Arthur Sylvester, love-lorn
youth, has been brought to st. Marys
hospital. On the first occasion he
was said to have taken carbolic acid
and he was found on the street, near
his adored ones home, to all intents
and purposes unconscious.
The physicians in st. Mary's hospi-
tai found Arthur's lips scared a trifie
by the fiery fluid, but they say that
nary bit decorated Arthur's "in-
nards."
Tuesday afternoon Arthur threw a
At, indicating that the effects OF his
attempt on his blasted young life had
not yet worn of. Again he went to
the hospital and a thorough diagnosis
failed to reveal any good and sufi-
Client reason why the youth should
throw a At.
Then there's William Knowles.
After writing a farewell letter to his
wife back In tsat dear old Wapako-
meta. o., William leaped into the
frigid waters OF the Detroit river at
the water works dock. After his icy
plunge, he changed his mind. He
found the water too cold and swan
back to the dock.
Meanwhile. wifey hurried on to De-
troit, expecting to find her husband
a corpse. Instead she found him
wrapped in warm blankets in the hos
pital, recuperating from his bath.
