NEW STATE G. O.P.
COMMITTEE URGED
Resolutions Adopted Asking
Present Body Be 0usted
as Inefficient.

THE State Republican Committee
has been a dead issue long enough"
said. former Assemblyman Duane e.
Minard today. 1T has either got to
do something or declare itself nil"
The remarks We're sandwiched in a
story of the proposed reorganizing of
the State Republican Committee.
Whether the new movement will Dust
the present chairman, former state
Senator Everitt Colby, and create a
new organization remains to be seen.
According to Mr.. Minard, the ma
t;onal president of the Republican
committee. John Hays Hammond. has
the power to create a new organization
by appointing an entire new set OF
officers If the old organization proves
ineffective.
Mr.. Minard called attention to artl-
Gle II OF the constitution of the Ma
tional Republican League, which
reads:
"The president shall be empowered
to create a new league organization in
any State in which the organization
existing or once existing has ceased
to perform its functions"
Mr.. Colby has been president eight
Years and never called a convention"
said Mr.. Minard. He wouldn't call
the conventions for fear the opposite
factions would get control"
Mr.. Minard then referred to article
Is of the constitution, which says:
1.-THE league as such shall not in n
manner endeavor to influence the ac-
ton of any State, county or municipal
convention, nor shall it indicate as
any preference for any candidate
before any political convention"
That Mr.. Colby in his stand for
Roosevelt had violated this rule was
the contention of Mr.. Minard.
In pursuance Of this a resolution,
by members of the executive
was adopted as follows:
Resolved, That the president of the
Republican League of the
States be, and hereby Is, re-
quested to create a new league or
in the State of New Jersey
in conformity with article IL"
The resolution is signed by George
w. Pollitt, of Passaic; Frank E. Price,
of Monmouth; F. f. Myer. jr., ma
tional committeeman; James McMas-
ter, Of Union; w. II. Parry. secretary
Of the State League, and Mr.. Minard,
who was appointed president pro tenn.
I'VE are going to clean out the dead
and waste stuff and get ready for a
new DEAL" declared Mr.. Minard. I'VE
do not object to Colby because he de-
for Roosevelt, but we do object
to his violating the laws of our consti-
When asked what the next step
be, Mr.. Minard replied that Mr..
Hammond would be given an oppor-
to. effect a new organization,
and mo matter who leads it we will
be ready To take up the fight"

MCFARLAND
WRIT PLEA
is DELAYED
Counselor McDermit Decides TO
Wait for Justice Gum
mere's Return.

The expected motion for a writ Of
habeas corpus to compel the return OF
Allison M. MacFarland to the county
Jail from the State prison, pending tho
appeal of his conviction for wife muir
der. did not materialize today. owing
to the absence of Chief Justice WILL
lam S. Gummere from the Court
House.
Frank NJ. McDermit, counsel for the
convicted a was ready to make the
motion, and at first intended going to
Justice Kalisch or County Judges Os-
borne or Martin, all of whom would
have Jurisdiction in granting the writ.
Later he decided to walt until Monday,
when Chief Justice Gummere Will sit
in the Supreme Court here.
Prosecutor Wilbur A. Mott was ready
to oppose any motion looking toward
the return of Mcfarland from the
death-house, it being his contention
that the stay granted by the writ of
the Supreme Court to carry the Ease
to the Court of Errors and Appeals
does not involve the return OF Mac
Farland to this county.
Prosecutor Mott laughed when ske
about an alleged statement made by
Florence Bromley, the Bunny letter
girl In the case, that she thought MOT
had taken an unfair advantage and
placed a wrong construction on her
letters to MacFarland. He said:
well, IL by any possible chance
there should be a second trial of TINS
case Miss Bromley wa undoubtedly
have every chance to take h witness
stand and refute any unfairness or
wrong construction of her letters on
my part"
Further than that he refused to dis
cuss the case in any form except to
intimate that he did not believe Miss
Bromley had made the statements.

School Attack
Draws Answer
Gill Declares FreIinghuysen's
Criticism Too Severe.
lFrom a staff Correspondent

lFi0ul q etdii correspondents.
TRENTON, Feb. 17.-Assemblyman
John E. Gill. of Mercer county, chair
mar of the House committee on educa-
ton. comes out in a statement today,
in which he takes issue with former
Senator Joseph S.. Frelinghuysen, now
a member of the new State Board of
Education. The burden of Mr.. Gills
statement, which is quite lengthy, is
that Mr.. Fr~elinghuysen is entirely too
severe in his criticism of school mat
tiers in this State.
Nh. Gill, who is the mead of a bust
ness college, is particularly severe in
condemning the plan of the new State
Board of Education in insisting upon
entrance examinations for promotions
to high schools and to the State normal
schools. Mr.. Gill thinks and says that
most educators agree with him thai a
pupils record of the year should play
it's part in determining whether a pro-
motion should be made.
