to His Success.

Metropolitan National Bank Bldg.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.

United States Senator William
Hughes, who was a strong champion
of Mayor Wittpenn for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor, has
come out enthusiastically for Gov

lowing statement from his Washing
ton offices today:
Every progressive Democrat in the
State of New Jersey, regardless of
what his personal choice might be,
Is bound to rejoice at the fact that
in the person of Governor Fielder he
will have a standard bearer who will
not only bring victory to the cause.
but who also possesses qualifications
and beliefs necessary to enable him
to carry forward the work COM
menced in the State under the aus
pices of Governor Wilson. Governor
Fielder was prominently identified
with the legislative reforms and con-
structive work set about by the party
at the beginning of it's new lease of
life. AS member of the Senate and
president of that body he brought
to the party trained mind, splendid
educational equipment and a world
of experience in legislative matters
which contributed in no small degree
to the success achieved. Every real
Democrat in the State looks forward
to his nomination and election In the
hope and firm belief that under his
administration the party will so con-
duct Itself as to deserve and receive
the continued commendation of the
independent thinking people of all
parties II, B. w.

Disobeys Command to Stop
and Escapes Rain of High
iwaymen's Bullets, resee

Police of Harrison and Kearny, to-
gether with number of detectives
employed by the Pennsylvania rail-
road, secured the meadows in the
vicinity of Sandfords crossing of the
Lackawanna railroad on the Kearny
turnpike, Kearny, for two highway
men early today. following an attempt
they made to hold up a party of
autoists bound for Jersey City.
Despite the fact that two revolvers
were Ievelled at his head, Bert Pierce,
of 695 Prospect avenue, Brooklyn,
would not stop at the bandits COM
mands Instead, he turned on full
speed, and with his party managed
to escape being struck when fusil-
lade of bullets was sent in their direc-
tion.
Pierce never reduced his speed until
he reached Newark and West Side
avenue, Jersey City, where he met
Patroman Fox, of that city, to whom
he told his story. Fox notified head
quarters at once. Word was flashed
back to Harrison and Kearny, and
policemen searched every Newark
bound Turnpike car and automobile,
without finding any trace of the high
waymen.
Patrolmen Edward Davey, George
Holt. of Kearny and James McManus,
of Harrison, aided by half dozen
railroad detectives, secured the mea-
dows In the vicinity of the hold-up
and examined more than three hun
dred freight cars on sidings near the
meadow shops. They found no trace
of the fugitives, however. Watchmen
employed at the meadow shops heard
the shooting.
Inspector Forrest, employed by the
Public Service Corporation, to check
fares at the crossing, was accosted
by three men shortly before the time
of the attempted hold-up. They told
story of having been chased from
an Erie railroad freight train. The
trio appeared TO be on the anxious
seat every time an automobile ap-
preached. One of the men finally
told Forrest he wanted to get rid
of one of his companions The man
referred to later left the party. Only
a few minutes after the other two
had departed in the direction of Jer-
sey City had elapsed when the at
tempted hold-up occurred.

rFrom a stan Correspondence

TRENTON, N. j., Aug. 16.-Former
state Senator John d. Prince, of Pas
sale county, today withdrew as pos
sible candidate for the Republican
nomination for Governor in the Sep
tember primaries. Mr.. Princes With
drawal is predicated upon desire on
his part to bring about harmony In
the Republican ranks in selecting
gubernatorial candidate.
Senator Prince, in statement is
sued today, pays a high tribute TO
former Governor Edward c. Stokes,
who is regarded as the most formid-
able candidate the Republicans can
nut in the field for the gubernatoriai
Endorsement.
Ii the services of such a man as
Governor Stokes can be secured, ac-
cording to DIR. Prince, it will mean
much for the well-being and prosper
ity of the people of the State.
Urges Stokes's Selection.
In announcing his withdrawal as a
candidate for the nomination, DR..
Prince said:
'I have been urged by friends for
some time past to enter the race for
the gubernatorial nomination in sep
tember of this year. After giving the
matter most serious consideration, l
have reached the conclusion that L
shall not be q candidate at this time,
both in the interests of harmony and
because 1t seems to me that the
future welfare of the State Is de-
pendent upon Republican success in
the coming election. The chaotic
conditions which prevail at present
are, to my mind, in large measure,
traceable to the unseating of the Re
publican party from administrative
affairs in New Jersey.
Business methods have given place
to extravaganza and financial disor-
der. New and high -salaried official
positions have become the order of
the day. The era of economy and
far-s -sightedness which marked the
rule of our Republican governors has
passed and to restore these conditions
we should seek the most experienced
hand available in State affairs.
Praises Former Governor.
"In view of the fact that the name
of one of the ex-Governors of New
Jersey has been announced as pos
sible candidate and standard d-bearer
of the Republican party, | feel that IL
his services can be called into action
at this time, it will mean much for
the well-being and prosperity of the
people of the State. He was in the
vanguard of the legislative move
ment which changed New jerseys
laws, making our State a rich and
powerful commonwealth, where peace
and order reigned. After a prolonged
legislative career, in which his name
became identified with advanced and
progressive legislation, he became the
chief executive.
Edward G. Stokes's administration
as Governor is so familiar to the peo-
pie that the benefits accomplished
during his term of office need not now
be recounted by me. His conduct of
affairs resulted, not only in great ma
terial advantages to the people at
home, but added lustre to New Jer-
seys name throughout the country.
"As l have already indicated, IL
such man could again be called into
public service, the Republican party
should not neglect the opportunity"

County Judge Owens announced to-

procedure of hearing insanity cases.
For two successive weeks, Judge

decide all other cases, asserted they
