Bitter Attack on Wilson
League in Recalling Its Pre-
yious Endorsement.

Publication yesterday Of the action
of the Woodrow Wilson League of
Orange, which recalled its previous
Endorsement of Mayor wittpenn, of
Jersey City. for governor, caused
commotion in the new organization
and many members Of the 100 COM
prising the league. who failed to at
tend the session Thursday night were
insistent that the action of President
William F. Hamilton in putting
across the slap at the Hudson coun-
ty man was clearly illegal and at
violent odds with rules of parliamen-
tary procedure.
These men will take up the cudgels
with the wittpennites at the
next meeting. and il is likely a spe-
ciel session will be called by the irate
men who do not hesitate to use forci-
bic language in describing the coup.
Judge Edward w. Woodman. of the
police court, who sat at the St. Pat
rick's Alliance euehre Thursday night
with members of his family, was one
of the men who criticized the dis
courtesy to Mayor Wittpenn. He was
only q few feet away while the dis
cussion between the rival groups of
Wilsonites was in progress and re-
GREETED the fact that he was not pres
ent to join in denouncing the plan
Some of the language INDUCED in by
the men at the meeting was described
as being far from the parliamentary
limitations of speech and 1t is be-
lieved a serious breach In the league
is imminent
1t was stated today that at the Will
son League euehre at which Mayor
witpenn was present Mr.. Hamilton,
although head of the organization, de-
clined to introduce the visitor and
another officer had to present the
candidate to the assemblage that
night.
1t was also declared today that
among the men who voted to with
draw the endorsement of Wittpen
were the very men who signed the
measure approving the Hudson man
as a Gubernational nominee.
Judge Daniel A. Dugan, who was
regarded as the chief of the Wilson
men in Orange was another who was
not at the Thursday session and on
his return he will shape the form of
protest against the slap of the thir-
teen men who supported the anti
Wittpenn action.

MAYOR REBUKES
ORANGE COUNCIL
Refuses to Accept RESPONSE
biIity for Trouble Over
Street Work.

In the form Of rebuke to the rail-
road committee of the Orange CONF
mon Council. Mayor Frank J. Murray
today issued a statement in which
ne maintains that the responsibility
for the finishing of the work of re-
pairing Cone street. which was torn
up TO lay trolley tracks, can in no
way be placed upon his shoulders.
He also defends the chief of police
and declares that the reports eTna-
mating from a meeting Of the railroad
committee held Wednesday night
have caused an unfair reflection on
the city and its residents.
At the committee meeting the couu-
eilmen told General Hine. of the Pub
lie Service Corporation. and a repre-
sentative of the J. II. Stanley COM
pany, of this city. which concern -
doing the work. that it was up 10 the
mayor to furnish ample police protec-
ton for the workmen against strik-
ing laoorers.
II am satisfied from my investlga-
ton of this matter as well as from
the chiefs statement, Mayor MUIR
ray says. that no real effort has
ever been made by the Stanley con-
tractors TO complete this work and
there has not been the slightest m
reference on the part Of residents in
Cone street with the Stanley en-
ployees." Continuing the executive
says:
THE impression of the matter
which has gone out from the railroad
committee meeting is not warranted
by the facts. The representative Of
the contracting firm is reported 70
have declared that crowd of $50 or
800 people IN Cone street prevented
his men from working, and this is
not true.
Il regret very much the effect Of
the committees treatment of the
matter, which has caused very un-
fair reflection upon Chief Drabell as
we'll as upon the residents of thu
Cone street section and upon the city
itself. I understand that some differ
ences exist between the laborers Of
Orange and their employers. and
would Ike to say as chief executive
Of this city that l should be pleased
to do anything that I could to settle
these differences in a way that might
be just to both the employers and tbs
workingmen."
