HARRISBURG, Sept. 21.-William
Finn, leader of the Roosevelt forces

Committee called in session here yes

ever, changed his plans and SO di-
rected the. action of the committee
as to leave the situation unsettled
until, perhaps. October s.
Virtually all that was done was the
appointment of a subcommittee au
thorized to fill the vacancies and re-
port to the State committee not later
than September 80. Finn controls
this committee, consisting OF Senator
McNichol. Henry G. WATSON and A,

burg. This meant that Finn may
begin the work of taking down The
electors by October /, but will moi
carry out his promise by substituting
Taft electors until a week later.
He is having his own way in not
making the change. Even With al
this delay it is possible that some OF
the Roosevelt electors will not re-
sign.
william Finn, who actually die
tated the action of the committee

interview hal the electors would not

when the time for placing a new

VIOLATIONS BY FOREIGN MOTORISTS.

Jill New Jerseys roads for the time allowed them, violate
the State law and escape from the State is a conundrum
Tor the State commissioner. Power for the commissioner to sus
pend privilege is not allowed under the law. Such mower would
be a partial remedy if, as the commissioner suggests, the law
should provide for a fine of $500 in the case of any motorist
entering the State after his privilege had been suspended. De
Yection in such a case would depend on the vigilance of the
motor vehicle department., but it would be materially aided h,
fhe New Jersey motorists, who have a live interest in seeing the
present automobile law properly enforced.
