CARRIES
OVER 500 CARS

Automoblists passing across the
ferry between this city and Totten-
vile yesterday were much disap-
pointed because only one boat was
running to carry the several hun
dred automobiles that took advan-
tege Of the nice weather throughout
the day. 1t is estimated that more
than six hundred machines went
over the ferry during the day, which
Is a record for the opening of the
season. At times the automobiles
were 30 congested on both sides Of
the river that the ferryboat Perth
Amboy had to make extra trips.
On some of the trips as many as
eighteen machines were carried.
Owners of cars had the impression
that the new boat Hoboken, recently
purchased by the Staten Island rapid
Transit was running in connection
with the Perth Amboy to relieve the
congestion of traffic. The Hoboken
will be put on next Saturday and
Sunday and will be used on those
days to relieve the traffic during the
entire season.

OTHER TEAMS
BACK DETROIT
Everything Depends on the
Conference Of Leaders Now
on in Philadelphia.
JOHNSON STANDS FIRM
United States League Has
Wired the Striking Players
to Join Ii.
spec{oI bU United Press Wire.

Philadelphia, May 20:-The Detroit
strikers announced today that they have
assurances from every team in the
American League that they will strike
if johnson does not rescind his action.
President -Navin Of the Detroit team
arrived here today and went at once
into conference with President Johnson.
On the result Of the conference may
depend the existence of the American
League. The United States League
wired the Detroit team asking on what
terms they would Join the organization.
81 am with Johnson In whatever he
has done and whatever he proposes to
do.D said Navin. "We will get to-
,pether somehow team to represent De
troit in the American League Ma
vim at once went to the Bellevue STRAIT
ford where he joined Johnson and re
tired for a secret conference. Shortly
after President McAleer, of the Boston
club, and President Farrell, of the New
York club, came to the hotel and wait
ed for chance to see johnson. They
are here to stand by the leage president
and to attend the meeting of the Ameri-
can League called for I orrow. The
other magnates are expected to provide
Detroit with a team from their substi-
tutes. Most of the striking players had
disappeared from their hotels today.
Only Bush, Cobb, Crawford and Dele
hanty were in evidence. The others had
gone to the various towns of the circuit
to enlist support from the players Of
the other clubs, it is said.
With today's game postponed interest
in the baseball situation centered en-
tirely in the conference between Presi-
dent johnson and President Navin.
League President johnson is firm in his
position that the entire Detroit team
stands suspended as the result of hav-
ing refused to play on Saturday. The
players are indifferent and say they can
make their living in other leagues.
ut has come to a question as to
whether the bail players are going
to run the club or whether we will
do so" said Frank Neyin, after
comforting with Ban Johnson. Il
think we will do it," he said.
Navin and Jennings called the
strikers together for a meeting at
noon, to try to effect a compromise
but the magnates showed no dispo-
sition to concede anything.
Cobb stated today he knew moth
ing about Lucker, the spectator he
attacked in New York, being a Grip
pie. He said the man was bigger
than himself and had his right hand
in his pocket. Cobb stated he fear
ed the man was going to pull a gun

ISSUE PLAIN
Bosses and Corporation Men
Lined Up Solidly Behind
President Taft.
RUN FOR DELEGATES
Roosevelt Men Confident the
Primaries viii Show the
Colonel in the Lead.

There is no mistaking the issue
for the Republican party in New
Jersey. The situation here presents,
better than anywhere else in the
country, conclusive proof of Colonel
Roosevelt's assertion, that there
never was a clearer lineup between
the bosses and special privilege on
one side and the plain people on the
other" ss
In every congressional district Of
the state the Taft hackers are the
machine rulers, and men OF wealth,
who in one way or another have
benefited by special privilege.
Equally in every county of the state
those who stand for Theodore Roose-
welt are themselves exponents of the
cause of industrial and social JUS
tice for which he Is fighting.
With the lines thus drawn, the
Roosevelt leaders declare that the
outcome will be clean sweep of
the state for the progressives. They
are claiming that Colonel Roosevelt
will carry virtually every district
in the state and elect the delegates
at-large as we'll They point to the
fact that the voters have, time and
again, declared against the very ma
chine that is standing behind Taft
in an effort to get back into power,
and that there is nothing to indi-
cate that they have changed their
previous estimates.
Head and front of the Taft move
ment, posing as leader for the
first time in his life, is United States
Senator Frank A. Briggs. Briggs
has a fight of his own on hand. In
fact his political future depends up
on the outcome of the present con-
test. His term as senator expires on
March next He was deftly insert
ed into that distinguished body by
the Dryden influence, and has serV-
ed faithfully the cause of special
privilege and reaction. His vote to
prevent the expulsion of Senator
Lorimer from the senate, and his
vote In favor Of the Payne-Aldrich
tariff law are considered his two
most noteworthy achievements.
Briggs Faces Oblivion.
If Briggs wants to go back to the
