LEADS IN PRIMARY
Former Mayor Polls Heavy Vote
in Jersey City.

Because of the ninety -one candidates
and the closeness of the contests in the
commission government primaries in Jer-
sey City yesterday, the result at an early
hour this morning was still in doubt with
former Mayor Mark NJ. Pagan so far in
the lead that his selection as one of the
ten chosen appears practically certain.
Mr.. Pagan became a national figure SIX
years ago as Mayor of Jersey city. but

DR.. John r. Mott chairman of the
continuation committee Of the World
Missionary Conference, who refused Pres
ident Wilson's offer of the post ~ Min
lister TO China and who has had a wide
experience with affairs in the Far East,
said yesterday that war with Japan was
an extremely remote possibility. which,
he thought. would be entirely UNAFFECTED
by the Webb Boodgood bills how In the
California Legislature.
DIR. Mott has Just returned from his
fourth trip to China and japan. lie
spent seven months in the Orient and
left Japan on April 19. At that time.
he said, there was an attempt under
way. engineered by political rSitators tn
stir up racial feeling in Japan over the
California anti-alien bills, but the intel
ligent element in Japan was almost
unanimously opposing such attempts.
THE Japanese are really concerned.
not so much with the pending bills III
California as with our National atu-
tude." said DR.. Mott yesterday. at his
home in Montclair; they have the high
est regard for the United States and look
upon our country as the one which
opened up and inspired their great devel-
opment of the last half century.
Object Only to Discrimination.
Il believe that the japanese, as ma
ton. want nothing more of US than a
non-discriminatory attitude. They have
no objection to the most rigid require
ments both for immigration and natural
ization: in fact they have themselves
some of the most drastic laws concerning
the holding of property by aliens. but
they do not want TO be considered as a
race inferior to the races of Southern
and Eastern Europe whose immigrants
we admit in such large numbers. They
simply do not want to be Disseminated
against
DR.. Mott believes that whatever the
attitude taken by this country toward
Japan there will not be any hostiliues'
He thinks that the reprisal would take
the form of a continued unfrlendliness
which would manifest itself In their COM
mercial, financial and general attitude
toward the United States.
To the frequently advanced idea tha'
Japan could not go TO war because OF
lack of money, DR.. Mott responded tha'
the spirit of the Japanese If aroused
would carry them into war. despite the
most depressing financial aspect.
while l do not believe that there can
ever be a thorough assimilation or ANAL
gamaton of the races" DR.. Mott said
Il am sure that system OF rigld ana
high educational and economic require
ments for both migration and naturaiiza-
ton would result in much more &C.
sjrable class of immigrants coming to the
United States. We should put those re-
ouirements high. and then let any one
Of whatever race. who cou!d meet theh
come in. II would result in decrease
in immigration on both Atlantic and "a
cifc seaboards. but that is question
which we must go into, now that the
opening Of the Panama Canal is I'M

that is now bothering California right W

At night. as the first speaker al the
dinner of the Central Democratic CLUB,
the Secretary was in laudatory mood.
After announcing that he was there 'as
the substitute FOR the President" he said :
There were a lot Of Republicans who
thought we lacked intelligence, who
thought we belonged to the rabbe But
We have n President who is more closely
Identified with the learned institutions of
the country than any other President we
have ever had"
Mr.. Bryan said that President Wilson
had shown the country that the Demo
cratic party Was not party Of panic.
Referring to the factional quarrel in the
Republican party last year, the Secretary
Of state declared there was no need for
Z progressive party.
IF the Progressves stand for princi-
pie" said Mr. Bryan, they will stand
with the Democratic party. II the Pro-
gressiyes feel they can help the country
they should help the Democratic party
and not stand aside and antagonize it,"
Mr.. Bryan called attention to the Gov
ernors the Democrats had elected, and
referred TO the Governor OF New York

could run their government and their
parties

FILTER PLANT APPROVED
Injunction, However, Stays Let
ting of S5,139,000 Contract.

BY a vote Of ten 10 six the Board Of
Estimate at a private conference yes
terday approved of the construction Of
the filter plant at the Jerome Park reser-
voir. Owing TO the temporary Injunction
obtained by the Citizens Union. however,
the board is estopped from letting the
contract, for which the Keystone Con-
struction Company has made the low
bid OF sj,l390O0. Argument Oh the in
junction will be heard tomorrow.
The six votes against the proposition
were the three of the Controller, the two
OF Borough President McAneny and the
one of Borough President Miller. Presi-
dent Mitchell OF the Board of Aldermen
has all along opposed the proposition
but yesterday he voted for it after a tax
with the Mayor. However, President
Mitchell said later, he intended to study
all the reports on the subject before he
voted finally on the signing of the con-
tract
William Jay Schieffelin. chairman of the
Citizens Union, last night called atten-
ton to the fact that the presidents Of the
Boroughs of The Bronx and Manhattan,
the only ones 10 get the Croton water,
which it is proposed to filter, both voted
AGAINST the projects lie said the presi-
dents Of Kings. Queens and Richmond
would probably have some difficulty in
explaining to their constituents the neces-
sity Of the increase i'm the tax rate due to
the cost of the filter plant.
At the Board of Estimate conference
Commissioner Thompson, Of the Depart
ment of Water Supply, argued in favor
of the filter for the Croton water. He
said the Croton supply was in such shape
now that in all probability it would be
sufficient for the needs of Manhattan and
the Bronx for fifteen years TO come. In
the mean time, he said the water from
the new Catskiu system could be diverted
10 the use of Brooklyn, Queens and Rich
mond.

Miss Russell To Be a Leader.

my sister, Miss Russell, will be one
of the leaders. She and Miss Shaw will
be the pioneers.
But" Mrs. Westford ended, don't
get the idea that the Progressive Wom-

this league of ours. There is absolute
lv no connection between the two. We
lust think il is time to have an organi-
zation Of brains, an aristocracy Of
brains. Real actresses, musicians,
writer's, newspaper women-yes, and
we'll let doctors and lawyers in, too.
These and not outsiders shall form our
club"
Mrs. Westford is chairman Of the
executive committee in the new
league. She was first vice-president

saws. but she concluded she'd rather
be chairman Of an executive commit
tee. SO she just switched offices.

stantly asked Mary to say definitely
that she would run. But she shilly-

name and so their ballots had TO be
thrown out" explained Mrs. Westford'
"That had nothing to do with the form
ing of the new league-this progress
sive league should say.
This has long been in our minds; We
have wished to see Miss Shaw in a
position to do the great work she Is
fitted to do, and just now We feel there
is no important work TO be done in the
Progressive Women's League, so it
seemed just as well to form an organ!-
cation of real professional women.
Rich women with fat pocketbooks

brains. We shall have a residential

Nichols Attacks Wilson.

Senator Nichols called forth the
wrath of the majority leader by an
attack on the President. during which
he accused Senator Davis Of acting
under orders from the throne"
The Senator from Cumberland is
telling an untruth" was the retort.
Ever since the President refused to
.appoint him to a place he has gone
out Of his way to attack him"
The Democrats made no attempt TO
defend the merits Of the Egan bill.
Acting Governor Fielder, who sat in
the chamber. urged that politics be
left out. Senator Read asserted that
it was President Wilson who had in
jected politics into the question.
Senator Edge was the principal
speaker on the Republican side
against the Chancell1r-sh Sheriff bill He
characterized it as "a miserable
apology"
Senator Edge also criticised the
President by saying that the Egan bill
was not a compromise. but defeat.
The President" he added. came
here exhorting the members Of his
party 70 get together. but what he has
really done is TO drive them further
apart"
Republican Position Made Plain.
Senator Pierce read a statement rep
resenting the views OF the Republi-
t1.. in which he said that the princi-
pie involved was the absolute taking
away Of the power now held by the
Sheriff, if politics were to be elimi-
mated.
Supporting this principle, he sad,
we have voted, and will continue 10
vote. either for the Read bill CRepub-
licam recommended by the recent jury

pointment Of independent commission
ers by the circuit judges. or the origi-

between Democracy and aristocracy. He
predicted that before another Presidential

After remarking that II know YOU will

Jefferson a century ago spoke Of two
parties" he said, "one was the Demo-
cratic party and the other the aristocratic

party which tries to bring the govern
