It is purely ''lovers' quarrl," as
Secretary Joseph p. Tumulty might
put 1t. to gain time for truce patch
ing, or wheher it is a bona-flde case
)f coming to the parting of the
ways" there are surely blood signs
on the moon, SO far as cordial rela-
tons between President Woodrow
Wilson and United States Senator
William Hughes, of New Jersey, are
concerned.
Down here there seems to be no
1oubt as to the break. The Jersey
colony folks are talking about it and
saying one unto the other Just
as we expected" 81 told you so, 1T
souldn't last. Something had to give"
and kindred remarks usually con-
sldered expressive of something.
There are denials that even cool
ness exists. The President is not
saying a word, the Junior Jersey sem
ator declares there Is nothing to 1t,
and Secretary Tumulty declares the
Very idea is ridiculous" Still while
people down this way, say tnat
would like to be obliging, for polite
ness sake, of for no other reason and
believe any and all reassuring utter
ances, they are unable to reconcile
statements of this brand with divers
1isquieting incidents.

Then the newspaper correspondents
are writing stories for their respect
i've papers. describing the war out
break between the President and Sem
ator Hughes, with as much atten-
ton to detail and adherence to par
ticularity as the Mexican war cor
respondents apply to their special
dispatches from the banks of the
Rio Grande. So 1t is up to the read
ers to believe that which they care
to believe or discredt anything they
are not In the humor to believe, 1t
is a case of separating the wheat
from the chaff. This is the cold
blooded and somewhat philosophical
way Washington people put 1t when
asked for news or opinions.
New Jersey patronage Is alleged to
be the cause of changed feeling.

AHgging the game" was the some
What inelegant though expressive
manner in which one person sought
to describe the situation. HE not
!. Dnly wants everything. but wants 1T
TOR certain persons, whether others
like the certain persons or not. You
zee, he didn't do so very much for
Fielder IN his home county, Passatc,
on election day"
Delving deeper into the subject the
probers are told that the office OF in
ternal revenue collector for the Firth
New Jersey district the headquarters
pf which is located in the Federal
building in Newark, has assumed the
proportions of an ugly proposition.
Hughes is anxious to land one Charles
" Duffy, of Paterson. Others, among
them members of the New Jersey
state Democratic Committee ana
some party leaders. do not take kindly
to Duffy.
1t Is furthermore said that among
those not senanapred of Duffy is no
less a parsonage than President Will
son himself. But Hughes is for
Duffy, and it is said proposes to stick
byN Duffy until that proverbial cold
wave gets in its work in spot gen
orally reputed to be innumerable de-
grees above Fahrenheit What's more,
Hughes is plugging away like a
beaver for the appointment of United
States District Attorney j. warren
Davis to the vacancy in the Federal
iudgeship created by the death of
Judge Joseph Cross. This accom-
plished, he would like to have his law
partner, Charles Lynch, made United
States district attorney. This Is all
hat Senator Hughes wants-for the
present.
All the above looks all very nice
for Senator Hughes, his opponents
for Senator Hughes, his opponents
be Duffy for collector at all events
Who may be the lucky fellow, they
will not venture to say.
But as to the severance of dipio-
matte relations between the President
and the junior United States senator
from New Jersey. the description of
a meeting between the two yesterday
may furnish food for thought.
Exhibition of jaw Setting.
The senator called upon the Presi-
dent at the White House. Instead OF
stepping forward with outstretched
arms, as of yore, to greet his quon-
dom Jersey friend the President re-
mafned seated, put on his sternest
expression, and it is said that he has
mite an assortment of stern express
sions, and gazed at Hughes just as
he might gaze or glare at Huerta,
were the hated Mexican to drop In
unannounced and with demeanor
warlike. There was setting OF Jaws,
II is explained. The President set
the example in the jaw settirg epi-
sode, and Hughes, who also mas a
we'll developed jaw, followed suit.
The Jaws being unlocked, each got
down to a talking bee. That is the
story sent out, anyway, and the topic
hat formed the special order OF busi-
ness and debate was New Jersey
patronage.
Exactly what was said is not re-
ported, but it is announced that when
Senator Hughes left his face was
covered with scowls and frowns and
that the Presidents countenance
wore a hard and foreboding look.
If the above indications are repre-
sentative of peace and goodwill, or
war of the survival of the fittest type
Is a question that must be left to
Judgment
