MAY IMPROVE
TRAFFIC RULES
Congestion at Open Market
Would Amend Ordinance.

AS a means of improving traffic
conditions about the public market
on Tuesdays and Fridays, the market
days, an amendment may be made to
the traffic ordinance. Acting Mayor
Garretson personally inspected the
market this morning and found con-
ditions generally good, but he would
have traffic regulations improved to
avoid congestion of vehicles on the
streets, particularly on Maple street.
Henry Toft, sealer of weights and
measures, who has charge of the
market; Patrolman Chris Hansen,
Truant Officer John Meshrow and
City Marshal w. w. Walters act as
peace officers on market days. They
have found it difficult to control
traffic without regulations that would
give them power. After his visit to
the market place to learn conditions,
Acting Mayor Garretson said the ef-
forts to more properly regulate traf-
fc might work out in an amendment
TO the traffic ordinance to cover the
market, should it remain in its pres
ent location.

They assert that they have no room
for him In their ranks, which declar-
alton Is supported by the anti-Wilson
forces, as we'll, which means the po
litical death of Mr.. Streitwolf, If
these leaders have any control over
MiddleseX county democracy.
Mr.. Streitwolf sprang into promi
nence two years ago when he was
elected assemblyman and gained
many friends by supporting Governor
Woodrow Wilson in the latter's fight
to send James e. MARITIME to the
United States senate. A year ago
Mr. Streltwolf was reelected, much
to the regret of the organization
men, 1t is said, and this year made
an early announcement Of his can
didacy for state senator. The Demo-
cratic leaders scoff at the suggestion
that the New BrunsWicker withdrew
In favor of harmony, and declare that
1t was but case Of necessity on his
part.
1t Is evident that the Democrats
are fast rounding the county ticket
into shape, with view to complete
harmony. Harvey ]. Skehen, presi-
dent of the Young Mems Democratic
Club, of New Brunswick, has an
nounced that he is out of the race
for the Democratic assembly nominal
ton, leaving the fight in that city be-
tween Lawyer George L. Burton and
former Alderman John H. Becker.
Assemblyman John P. Kirkpatrick is
out for reelection on the Democratic
ticket, without opposition In mis- dis
trict, but the assembly problem in
Perth Amboy is causing no end Of
worry. Arthur A. Quinn, the labor
| leader, is still in the race despite the
efforts of friends of Lawyer Jacob B.
Joselson to secure for him the unani-
nous support of the Perth Amboy
Democrats for assembly honors.

OF
N. Y. CHAIRMEN
Republicans Have no Man
for Governor Yet.
epscfd1 by United Press Wire.

New York, Aug. 9:--Plans for
organized action by the various Re-
publican county chairmen through
out the state were completed at
conference at state headquarters
here today. William Barnes, Jr.,
chairman in the opening meeting
which was presided over by former
Speaker Morton Lewis, of Monroe
county, protested that he had abso-
lutely no interest In naming a candi-
date for governor this fall. He de-
clared that what was wanted was
candidate that could win and he de-
nounced the present primary law as
"crude and worthless"
Nearly every county in the state
chairman insisted that conditions
were getting better for the states
prospects than ever before.
Barnes, in his speech, stated that
there was no doubt that the voters
were ready for change and assert
ed that the candidate must be man
whose character and expertness and
capacity is so we'll defined that he
will attract the support of all the
voters whom it has been shown are
anxious for a change of admin1stra-
ton.
"The State of New York needs a
governor who will be his own mas
ter" continued Barnes. ''No man
can be a real servant of the people
unless he Is master of himself. The
spectacle of governor who is mere
ly an agent of a party organization
or a choice of an individual citizen,
is not desired by the state. A gov
ernor of broad mind and constancy
of purpose, aided in his work, but
not controlled by the organization of
the political party from which he
takes his nomination, is the orderly
and proper solution of the problem
which is presented by the so-called
issue of bossism.''

AUTOISTS HAVE
SLIGHT mISHAP
Car skids and Nearly Plum
ges Through Window.

The breaking of the left back
wheel of their automobile against a
curb stone in front of the clothing
store of NJ. Siegel at 288 Smith street
saved Mr.. and Mrs. William Starch
and three children, of 421 Spring
field avenue, Newark, from being
hurled through the glass window
shortly before II o'clock this morn
ing. The party were en- route to
Morgan when the accident happened.
A slippery road conditions was the
cause of the accident.
Then Newarkers were going up
Smith street at a lively clip in their
Buick machine and when nearing
Prospect street the auto started to
skid. The power was thrown off and
the momentum carried the machine
clear around and was heading for
the window of the clothing store
when the wheel broke and prevented
a serious accident. When the back
wheel on the laft hand side smashed
into the curb and ripped off, the
axel held the car fast within several
feet of the window.
John Starch, who was on the front
seat with his father, jumped as the
car turned about. The lad escaped
injury. The front wheels were badly
bent and the party are waiting for
garage men to make repairs, when
the trip will be resumed.

LABOR MEN TO
BACK HUGHES
Local Leaders Favor Him
for u. S. Senator.

Local labor leaders assert that
they will back the candidacy of Con-
gresham William Hughes, of Pater-
son, for the Democratic nomination
for United States senator, at the pri-
mary polls on September "a. This
action will be taken by the labor
man in the earnest belief that Con-
gresham Hughes stands for and will
help the cause of labor in every in
stance, which conforms with his
work In the House of Representatives
| for many years With tfS~sla hor
leaders and Congressman Thomas ].
Scully working in the interest of Mr.
Hughes in the third district, his OPP
ponents can expect but little support
in this section.
Congressman Hughes candidacy
received considerable impetus at Sea
Glrt ON Wednesday, at which time
it was extensively rumored that
Judge Wescott, of Camden county,
would withdraw in favor of the Pat
erson congressman. Such action on
his part would probably harmonize
the Democratic ranks in New Jer-
sey, in this particular, and exclude
all possibility of former Senator
James Smith, Jr., of Newark, enter
ing the field as a successful dark
horse" candidate. Congressman
Hughes is the logical candidate, as
Congressman Scully has repeatedly
declared, and will receive the votes
of all Democrats who believe in pro-
motion in office when promition is
deserving.
The Central Labor Union, of
Washington, D. c., recently indorsed
the Hughes candidacy and appointed
a committee to send copies of the
resolution to every labor organiza-
ton in New Jersey. 1t is very un-
usual that another state-Or district,
as in this instance-takes an active
interest in the primary fight in an
other state, and the recent action of
the Washington labor leaders has
caused no end of qualification to Mr..
Hughes and his many friends. The
Perth Amboy unions will not indorse
Mr. Hughes, as they believe in car
rying out the direct primary law to
the letter, but will urge every union
man in the third district to become
personally interested in the candi-
dacy of Congressman Hughes.
City Collector Richard F. White
received today from Mr. Scully two
petitions, indorsing Mr.. Hughes
with request that the documents be
signed by Perth Amboy Democrats.
Mr.. White was nearly overwhelmed
with applicants this morning, and
expects to have the petitions filled be-
fore another twenty-four hours roll
by. "Bill' Hughes, as he is called by
his intimate friends, is honored in ev-
ery section of New Jersey because of
his untiring work in favor of Cover
nor Wilson at the Baltimore conyen-
ton.

Mr. .StreitWolfs announcement, made
today through the columns of the
EVENING NEWS and other Middle
sex county newspapers, Is not re-
ceiyed with surprise by the Demo-
cratic leaders who were opposed to
the StreitWolf candidacy. In fact,
the announcement follows closely up
on the frequent rumors current the
last few days, which were to the eff
feet that the New Brunswick candl-
date was disgusted with the slow
progress of his early campaign.
In his letter to the EVENING
NEWS Mr.. Streitwor gave no ex-
planation for his action. The let
ter was as follows:
81 would be favored to have you
announce in your Fridays issue that
| withdraw my candidacy for the
Democratic nomination for state
senator"
1t was written on the stationery Of
Mr.. Streitwolf's New York city law
Offices and was posted late last night.
1t Is said that his intimate friends
were acquainted with the fact on
Wednesday afternoon that he intend
ed to withdraw in favor of DR.. Ram
say. The New Brunswick assembly
man does not expect to run again for
the assembly, in fact will step out Of
active political life for the present.
DR.. Ramsay would make no COM
ment on the announcement when
seen today.

who opposed Mr.. Streitwolf last fall,
and again this year, he is not receiv-
ing any promises for withdrawing in
