REPUBLICANS
MAKING PLANS
Conference at State House
Today to Outline Program
of Legislative Session
THE DEMOCRATIC SLATE
speeiol 10 tAe ErENING NEWS

Specidl to The EVENING NEWS
Trenton, Nov. Determined to
make an aggressive fight in the leg
islature this winter for Republican
ism, senators and several leading
Republican assemblymen met at the
state house today to make prelimin-
airy plans for their legislative cam
paign The specific purpose of the
gathering was to prepare for a gen
erai Joint conference of all the Re
publican legislators next Tuesday.
At that meeting the Republican
state platform will be taken up and
specific legislative program and
course of action for the session will
be determined upon.
Senator Read, of Camden, pre-
sided at today's session and with
him were Senator Edge, of Atlantic;
Senator Colgate, of Essex; Senator
Gaunt, of Gloucester; Senator
Hutchinson, of Mercer, and Senator
elect Mathis, of Ocean. Among the
assemblymen that were present were
Richards and Godfrey, of Atlantic;
Hates, of Camden, and Moore and
Hammond, of Mercer.
Beekman Leads for Speaker.
The Democratic skirmish over the
organization of the assembly con-
tinued today at lively rate. AS
semblyman AZariah M. Beekman, of
Somerset, still has the inside track
for the speakership although Assem-
blyman Leonard, OF Union, was
doing some hustling campaigning to-
day. Mr.. Leonard would not admit
that the election Of Beekman was
certain.
Last year." said Mr.. Leonard,
They had Mr.. Hennessy elected
speaker for two or three weeks be-
fore the caucus, but Mr.. Taylor won
out by one vote at the caucus, so
the election of Mr.. Beekman is not
sure, in my opinion
Assemblyman McDermott, of Hud-
son, seems to be slated for the Demo-
cratic leader of the assembly, while
the Republican leader will be Mr..
Hates, of Camden. The outlook is
that Mark f. Phillips, OF Essex,
will be reelected clerk of the as
sembly. Former street and water
commissioner James T. Doody, of
Jersey City, is candidate for SER
geant at arms, and is here today
campaigning for that position. 1t
is expected that the Democratic eau
Gus for the organization of the as
sembly will be held December 8.

WORKING OUT DETAILS
Bridge Will Serve to Connect
Sections Of the City for
Traffic.

The approval of the plans for the
Convery place bridge by the Lehigh

confronted the freeholders in erect

early elimination of the project.
which has been anxiously agaited by
the citizens of the city, especially
those In the northwestern esection
of Perth Amboy. Since the sane

County Engineer Alvin B. Fox will
Immediately begin working out the
details for the structure, which had
to be delayed until the general To-
cation and physical style of the
bridge had been passed on by the
railroad.
The bridge will be composed of
three spans, the two end ones 131
feet, six inches in length, while the
center division of the bridge will be
123 feet long, making total length
Of the structure of 386 feet. The
width twill be 56 feet, allowing for
two ten foot walks and thirty-six
foot roadway clearance. The super

The structure will be elevated
twenty-five feet above the rails,
which will necessitate four per

approach. and fve per cent grade
from the approach leading from
Smith street.
There will be two concrete abut-
ments for the support Of the ends
Of the bridge, and two steel columns

of the tracks to support the spans.
This will require the complete re-
moval Of track No. 20 of the rail-
road.
The building of the bridge by the
freeholders is the elimination of a
concerted effort made by civic asso-
Citations and the Board of Aldermen.
who petitioned the county body to
erect the structure. The city pro-
cured the right Of way for the coun-
ty board by paying the railroad $2,-
500 to defray the expense the Lehigh
Valley Railroad would be put to in
readjusting It's tracks, following the
placing of the supporting columns
OF the bridge. 1t is contended that
the completion Of the bridge will
closely connect the western and nor
thwestern sections Of the city, and
permit of a route for belt line

trians and traffic In this part of the

DECISION ON
RARITAN AVE.
Aldermanic Committee Will
Choose a Special Council at
the Next Board Meeting
SEAMAN is PERSISTENT

Choice of special counsel to
further Investigate as to what right
If any, the city has to Raritan ave-
nue., will be brought up at the next
committee meeting of the Board of
Aldermen, November 2S, according
to decision made at a recess Just
prior to the adjournment of the
council last night. At this Ii was
also agreed that water department
buildings in the city yard in State

of the street department.

mainder of his term, Alderman F.

adverse to City Attorney G, G. Hon
mann, he asserts, stating on thesoth
er hand that he is a capable and CON
scientious man, but he believes that
more than one mans opinion should
be procured in SO important a mat
ter.
During the committee meeting last
night he again argued with every
effort for the adoption of means to
empower the harbor commissioners
to proceed with the search, and to
engage special counsel for it, IL nec-
essary. Despite the fact that his con-
tentions were supported practically
unanimously, the council remained
divided In three to three fashion on
the subject. He was visibly dissatis-
fed and threw some hot-shot, which
he refrained from doing at open ses
sion. At the conclusion, the alder
men practically decided that they
would endeayor to agree on counsel
for continuation of the search at the
next comittee meeting.
Proper officials of the city will en-
deavor to arrange with the Board of
Water Commissioners to have water
department buildings remain on the
city property adjoining the high
school land in State street.

Warn Mexico of Blockade.

Mexico City, Nov. 18.-The German
minister, Paul Won Hintze, asked the
German merchants In the Mexican cap,
lean capital to call at the embassy and
told them to furnish an inventory of
ell shipments which they expect to re-
ceive in the next few days, as the
United States is about to declare a
blockade of all Mexican ports.
The minister said he had positive
information that seventeen American
warships are under orders to sail for
Mexican waters Immediately.
All negotiations between President
Huerta and the United States have
apparently been suspended.
Charge d'Affaires 'Shaughnessy
seems to be awaiting orders to leave
the capital.
In the meantime General Huerta is
proceeding with his efforts to organize
the new congress, regardless of the
notice given 70 him by John Lind, the
personal representative Of President
Wilson, that serious consequences
pected a further attempt would be
made to organize the senate, as Satur.
days failed owing to the lack of a
quorum.
The chamber of deputies was order
ed to hold session for the purpose of
revising the credentials of its members,
and 1t is expected that unless the Unit.
ed States government finds a means to
bring about an alteration Of the pres
ent plans the first regular meeting of
the house will occur on Thursday.
There was considerable gossip in po.
lltical circles of further changes In the
Mexican cabinet being In prospect, and
General Aureliano Banquet, the min
lister of war, was said to have had
a misunderstanding with President
Huerta.
Huerta regards his part In the recent
exchange OF communications with the
United States as finished. He expects
to find no difficulty In consummating
his plan to bring bis new congress to
full organization, and he continues
pldAuiu8 Lof ulS Military CdmpalsuS
and carrying out his policies Of "paci-
6eation."
What further move may be taken at
Is question which neither
the Mexicans nor the foreigners here
dnd an easy one to answer, but there
was noticeable an increasing express
sion of opinion that the United States
would continue Its hands off policy.

EXPECT BREAK
WITH CARRANzA
Rabe! Leader Unwilling to
Make Promises as to His
Future Action.
PRESIDENT DlSPLEASED
Special by United Press Wire.

Washington, Nov. 1S:-Rumors of
an impending break in this govern
ment's negotiations with the Mexican
constitutionalists were current today.
Two causes were assigned. The ex-
ecntion Of federal leaders at Juarez
has displeased President Wilson,
but the compelling reason is said to
be the unwillingness of Carranza to
make definite promises governing his
future action. This latter is most
important, IL the constitutionalists
are to get arms from this side of the
border. Whether there Is break
will depend on the final conference
between DR.. Hale and General Car
rama today at Nogalles. Though
Hale has made voluminous reports to
the President not single fact has
been made public, and unless nego-
tiations are entirely successful none
will be.
The situation as far as Huerta Is
concerned remains unchanged. John
Lind and Nelson O'Shaughnessy con-
Itipue In constant communication
with Washington, They report while
Mexico City and Vera Cruz continue
quiet on the surface there Is strong
under current OF antagonism against
Americans. This Is being fostered
by Huerta adherents, but it is not
believed there is any immediate dan
ger of attack on natives of this coun-
try. 1t was believed today there
would be no change In the situation
before Thursday, when the new con-
gress Is to reconvene. The admins
tration refuses to comment on the
organization of congress, in the face
of the American demands that it be
dissolved as Illegal.
