OBJECTION TO
BILL !! EXPENSE |! | \
Seaman Wants to Know
How Much Spent to Get
Taxes Out.
WHO SHALL BE HIRED

Holding that the method of award
ing positions for the making and
mailing of tax bills without the con-
sent of the Board of Aldermen to be
improper, Alderman F. A. Seaman
voted against payment for the work
at the meeting Of the council last
night. He declared that he did not
know how much money was going to
be spent on the item, and until he
did learn he would vote no" He
said in part: ''It doesn't seem right
that they should hire whom they
please. l don't believe it is right for
them to leave it open and / can't
vote intelligently ON them" When
Mr.. Seaman was informed that the
item was for about 500, he said
that was justifiable If that was all.
Someone stated the cost of issuing
tax bills last year was $500.
No one gave definite information
that all of the bills were before the
council. Mr.. Wilson said he thought
that they were all there. He stated
that he had had Collector of Reve-
nue. Richard F. White o. X. the bills
before he would sign them, because
he knew who had been employed.
When a vote was taken to pay all
of the city bills Mr.. Seaman voted
'yes, except on those tax bills

NEW PRESSURE
TO BE BROUGHT
President Wilson Sends Lind
to Mexico City on a Sps-
eial Errand.
SAY HUERTA WEAKENING
peeial bv United Press Wirs.

Special bH United Press Wire.
Washington, Nov. provisional
President Huerta, of Mexico, is to
be subjected to renewed pressure to
force him to resign. President Will
son has evolved plan 1t was said
here today. 1t is connected with the
mysterious trip of John Lind to
Mexico City. He is to be expected
to tell influential Mexican bankers
just why this government opposed
Huertaism and endeavored to under
mine Huerta.
Lind is to learn about the assemb-
lying of the new congress. This
government will not recognize the
legality of that body, but until 1t
assemblies and chnvasses the result
of the election Huerta has an excuse
for not acting under demands that
he quit. Lind also will report, on
the recent increase Of the Mexican
army and on the financial conditions
in Mexico.
There is an Impression here that
Huerta is weakening. The implied
threat, of recognition Of the Car
rama forces means much to Huerta.
He realizes that If the revolutionists
can get arms and ammunition they
will be hard to defeat. His soldiers
want pay and are not reliable. Will
son will not accept promises, he de-
mands performances.

VOTES SHIFT IN
MIDDLESEX co.
Progressive Vote Turned Back
to the Democratic and Re-
publican Voters.
THROUGHOUT THE CITY

A resume Of the election figures
from the city and county shows that
there was a big shift of Progressive
votes back to the Democratic or Re-
publican parties over that of last
year. In the first ward Of the city
the change is particularly noticeable.
Last year Taft only received 161
votes, Roosevelt received 366, and
Wilson 312. This year most of the
Roosevelt vote went to Fielder and
Stokes, as follows: Fielder, 342;
Stokes, 266, and Colby, 1873.
The same change is noticed
throughout the city, which gave Taft
only S13 votes last year; Roosevelt,
1929, and Wilson, 1,719. Wilson
received plurality of only $40,
whereas this year Fielder received
a plurality of 1,035. Colby only
polled 357 votes this year through
out the city, Stokes polled 1,064, and
Fielder 2,099.
Comparing the county vote for
governor this year with the vote for
president last, there were about
1000 more votes cast this election
than last, and about 800 less cast
this year than last throughout the
city. Fielder received 100 more
votes than Wilson polled last year
throughout the county. The county
vote last year compared with that of
this year also shows a shift from the
third party to the old parties, Last
year the county gave Taft 1898;
Roosevelt, 4,572, and Wilson, 1928,
the last named receiving a plurality
of 2,666 votes. This year Colby only
received 1910; Stokes polled 6,476,
and Fielder, 8,93S, giving Fielder a
plurality OF 2,462.
The Progressives will, however, be
entitled to the use of the primaries
in the city and county, as they pulled
about twelve per cent of the assem-
bly, vote In the city, and about ten
per cent of that vote In the county.
Before party can participate in the
primaries 1t has to poll only five per
cent of the assembly vote in a given
division of the state, where candi-
dates are to be nominated by the pri-
maries. The Progressive county and
assembly vote was cut to about half
of what 1t was last year at the cleo
tion Tuesday.
John Kelly, elected alderman from
the second ward on the Democratic
ticket polled nearly twice the votes
polled by his opponents. Kelly won
by plurality of 231 votes. Walker
and Rossi together polled 1876, and
Kelly S65.

ented.

dent of the New Jersey Manufacture

Made to Cover All Places Ac-
cording to Attorneys Decision

last night. After that time, when
the board will be composed of a full
membership by the presence of Com
missioner-Elect John A. Bird, set
of new rules will be adopted, accord
ing to present intentions. Section
three of the present rules, which pro-
vides that voting shall be by ballot,
was suspended last night, as it is in
tended to do at the final meeting of
the year In December. The voting
was oral, each commissioner saying
"yes" or mo- as he desired and the
public was thus made acquainted
with the respective positions relative
to each application. The board grant
ed all the applications which were
desired at Its regular meeting last
night, with the exception of two,
which were laid over under the rules.
The commissioners also voted unan-
imously to make the pocket billiard

places or not.
BY suspending the third section
OF the present rules, the specification
of what shall constitute a quorum
and how applications shall be acted
upon is dropped. 1t reads as fol-
lows: "Three members shall consti-
tute quorum for the transaction OF
the business Of the board, but no IL
cense shall be granted, transferred,
or revoked except with the concur
renee Of at least three members. The
voting shall be by ballot"
Billiard Licenses.
In view Of the fact that City At
torney C. c. Hommann had ruled
that the pocket billiard license ordi-
nance covered all places, whether
connected with a drinking place or
not, the board passed motion last
night to have all pay the regular IL
cense fee of $40 a year The mo-
tion was placed by Commissioner
Boehm and seconded by Commission
er Seaman. 1t was adopted unani-
mously.

CITY IN SHR0UD
OF DENSE FOG
Leroy Dunham, of ksasbey
Injured in Collision With
a Truck.
SHIPPING WAS HALTED
Traffic to All Points Held
Up as Motormen Were
Unable to See.
SHIPPING WAS HALTED

One of the densest fogs on record
enveloped the city in q thick, gummy
veil between and 8 o'clock this
morning, and caused a collision of
motorcycle and a truck in which one
man was knocked unconscious, and
the disarrangement of trolley sched-
ules. Hundreds of commuters from
the vicinity found that they were
from thirty minutes to one hour late
in getting to business. A Public
Service trolley car left Metuchen at
o'clock and was held up on switch
es for thirty-five minutes enroute to
this city. Instead of reaching here
at 8:35 it arrived at 9:10 o'clock
Shortly after o'clock the ferryboat
Perth Amboy missed the slip at the
foot of Smith street and had to pro-
ceed at creeping rate during the
endurance of the thick mist. Ship
ping along the sound was entirely
blocked by the fog, which was at its
worst between 5 and o'clock.
Leroy Durham, of Keasbey, was
coming east on motorcycle shortly
after o'clock. The Public Service
repair truck was going toward New
Brunswick. Both started to turn
corner in the road at Keasbey and
as the binding fog was inpenetrata-
BILE more than few feet in front of
the drivers, neither saw the other
and the machine and truck collided.
Durham was thrown to the ground,
his head striking the hard Toadbed.
The men on the truck assisted Dun
ham to his feet and took him to his
home, where he regained conscious
ness. Ho was attended by DR.. M. s.
Meinzer. Durham had a number of
bruises about the head and his face
was deeply cut. The motorcycle,
which was swept to one side by the
truck, was considerably battered.
Traffic Halted.
The Public Service trolley cars
were delayed on switches longest be-
tween 1880 and 8 o'clock Previous
to that, though the fog was dense,
the schedules were kept up almost to
normal, but after 730, when the
passing at switches became more
numerous, the conductors and mo-
tormen were afraid to leave the
switches; because of the dense mist
the block signals could not be seen
and the crew feared for collisions II
they moved the cars. In many in
stances the cars were held up in this
manner both on the Public Service
and the Jersey Central lines for
thirty minutes at time, delaying
the commuters from both south and
west coming into this city.
Shipping was at a standstil1, not
even schooner venturing to face
the dangers of the thick, misty robe
that hung over the sound. The
ferryboat, creeping along, kept well
to It's schedules between Tottenville
and Perth Amboy. though once in
trying to enter the slip here shortly
after o'clock 1t failed and came in
on the north side of the slip, but the
mistake was noted before any
trouble was caused, and the boat
easily backed and came into the slip
properly The boat struck the scow
Seven Brothers but no damage re-
suited.
