Carriers Anxious
For New Casino Show

Three hundred Times carriers and
newsboys are looking eagerly forward
to the big show which will be presented
at the Casino Theater Tuesday night.
In view OF the success which attended
last weeks performance. The Times
has decided to continue this feature for
several weeks to come.
Manager BrylawslSi, OF the Casino is
cooperating with The Times by engag-
ing artists of note and some of the per-
formers announced for next week. are
as follows: The Shuman Quarete, billed
as CLASSY vocal and Instrumental
stars" the Three Brownies, IN "a diff
ferent kind of acrobatic act;" the Tan
go Duo, in the latest sensational dances
Of the day: Jack. McCay, in Scotch
dances and limitations. and Dewitt and
Stewart, who are said to be comedians
OUT of the ordinary. In addition, new
reels Of moving pictures will be shown.
The Times Carriers and newsboys
have shown themselves to be very criti-
cal, more so than their elders, and con-
seOucntly demand the very best in the
entertainment line, and the manage
ment of the theater has stated its will
ingness to provide the very best pro-
gram possible.
Naturally the number Of tickets Is
limited and in order not to be disap-
pointed the boys must secure them at
once, before they are all gone. They
can be obtained at any of The Times
various substations or at the main office.

Fielder Is in Lead
In Jersey Campaign

TRENTON, Nov. 2-NeY Jerseys
voters have at the election Tuesday,
three candidates for the office of gov
ernor to choose from. James F. Fielder,
who was president of State senate when
President Wilson resigned to go to
Washington, and who succeeded to the
goverBorshlp for the uneXpired term, is
the Democratic nominee Former Gov.
Edward {. Stokes, whose puonc career
stamps him a reactionary, is the Re-
pubHcan candidate, and Everett Colby,
who as a State senator from Essex
county, developed Progressive tenden-
cies which aiterward made him a leader
of that faction OF the Republican party,
is making the race on the Progressive
ticket
4. In the Democratic party, Fielder is as
far removed from machine politics as
was Colby in the Republican party be-
fore he Joined the Progresslves. Stokes
is a dyed-in-the-wool machlQe poll
tician. He was one of the "old guard"
OF Republicans that dominated State
politics before Woodrow Wilson drove
them from the state house.
Because Fielder was the personal
choice of President Wilson in the pri-
mary contest. the campaign has been
unusually interesting. Fielder's cleo
tion would be accepted as an indorse-
ulent OF President Wilson in his home
State. Democrats realize this, and they
are working as hard for Fielder's sue
cess as they did for President Wilson'S
a year ago.

he cared for his life. General Diaz said
he was unable at that time to readjust
his ideas to the situation in Mexico, but
that he was determined to return and
present himself as a candidate for the
Presidential election.
He and the other members of the mis-
sion shipped for Vera Cruz the next
DAY, but not soon ,nough to escape a
sealed envelope containing another or

president ordered each member OF the

er Hertha met the Corcovada, and Diaz
was landed under German protection
He went to the home of his brother-in-
law. but the other members of the mis-.
sion, who were landed in Mexico at the
same time, were promptly put in jail.
The day after Diaz was landed the
Zaragoza held up the American steam
ship Moro Castle, which had on board
several political refugees, and Mrs.
John Lind, wife of President Wilson's
representative in Mexico. The refu-
gees were surrendered.
The other members of the mission
were kept in jail in Vera Cruz until
October "a, and then placed on board
the Zaragoza, and sent back to Ha-
wanna The Zaragoza remained for a
few days in Havana harbor. and left
on Friday with all the original men,
bers of the mission on board except
General DiaZ, now a refugee on the
United States cruiser Louisiana, and
Colonel Del Rio, who was put in a
Havana hospital.
The Mexican situation is at a stand
still, so far as Washington is con-
cerned, and no change of policy will
be announced before Huerta makes
known his decision regarding last
Sundays elections. This. according
to the Mexican constitution, must be
done within ten days.
