SWANS WILL MAKE
AN EFFORT TO REOPEN

At a meeting of the directors of the
Swaims restaurant concern, held this
afternoon, it was decided to bring
suit against George Watson & Co.
for illegal dispossession from their
place at Market and Nutria streets.
The restaurant has been closed since
the foreclosure proceedings were in
stituted Saturday.
I'VE have decided to fight the Wat
son Company to a finish,'' said George
Z. Clymer, attorney for Swaims.
They have refused to allow us to
remove any of the goods in the place
which belong to Swaim's and our
creditors. No, it is not likely that
the business will be reopened at that
place"
The attorney pointed out that Stan
ford S. Swain had been named in the
foreclosure proceeding, while cor
poration under the name of
"Swaim's' had taken over the busi-
ness with the landlords knowledge
and consent.
The lease for the place had been
made for ten years, at an annual
rental of $4,000. According to
the attorney for the restau-
rant concern, the place had been run
last month at a profit of about 100
per cent, outside of the monthly rent
figure. 1t was also found that the
cost of fittings and alterations had
exceeded the original estimates the
alterations costing $4,000 and the
fittings $1,000
In addition to the April rent the res
taurant concern is in arrears for
about 81, 200 in running accounts and
$500 In wages. Approximately $4,000
is still owing for improvements, but
these are listed as liens against the
building Mr.. Clymer declared the
| wage account would have been settled
with Saturdays business, which it is
| thought would have amounted to $500.
1t was stated the wage settlement was
prevented by the landlords action
which also resulted in the additional
loss of all the provisions purchased
| for Saturday and Sunday.
| For several hours today a number
! of waters and others employed by
| the concern waited at the entrance
TO the restaurant in the hope thai
business would be resumed.

COLBY COMES OUT
NOW WITH DENIAL
Former Senator Says He Die
Not Predict an AmaIgama-
ton of Parties.

Former State Senator Everett Cobb.
took exceptions to the interview
printed in the Evening Star of sat
urday in which he said that "his hal
was in the ring for the gubernatoria
nomination, and in which he pre-.
dicted also the amalgamation of the
two factions of the Republican party
the Progressives and the Regulars.
He issued the following statement
| today:
1T have read the story in which
am not correctly quoted on the CUB
ernatorial situation. A reporter
asked me for my views on the pros
poets of fusion between Progressives
and Republicans, and the only fusion
(which l admitted possible) was that
which everybody sees is rapidly ap-
preaching. namely, the amalgamatlon
into one party of all Progressives. As
for my own part in the coming cam
paign / shall work as I have in the
past for the Progressive cause.
am not a candidate for governor.
When 1 am I shall announce it my
self"
The interview referred to by Mr..
Colby took place in his office Sat
urday morning after reporter for
the Evening Star had made an en-
gagement with him over the tele-
phone to talk politics.
what can l do for you? was Mr..
colby's greeting to the reporter.
"WelI. | will shoot it right at you,
was the reply of the reporter. VIII
there be an amalgamation of the two
wings of the Republican party, the
Progressives and the Regulars?'
Mr.. Colby did not hesitate to an
swer that, in his opinion, there would
be. The reporter referred to the fact
that there had been numerous confer
ences between tn leadrs of both fac
tions, and Mr.. Colby agreed with this.
Mr.. Colbyf stated that there had
been numerous things in political
ways lately to show that such an
amalgamation was almost certain to
come, as there was disposition on
both sides to get together and that
the Progressives we're willing to meet
the other side with open arms.
In regard to his candidacy for the
governorship that question was put
point blank to Mr. Colby and he said
that he would be if there was a de-
mand for him to run.
Then you might say your hat is in
the ring" suggested the reporter,
and the reply from Mr. Colby was:
That's about the situation" He did
insist strongly, as told in the inter-
view printed Saturday. that he was
not seeking the nomination, but did
say that he would accept 1t if it were
offered to him.
At all times during the interview
Mr.. Colby knew the reporter was
talking of the proposed amalgamation
between the progressive and regular
wings of the Republican party and
not only stated, but seemed to be en-
thusiastic over the prospects of such
amalgamation or fusion.
He said that the thinking men in
both factions were anxious to get to-
gether and that they undoubtedly
would. He stated that 1t made no
difference what the old machine
bosses wanted or what they did, the
thinking and uncontrolled members
of both wings wantel amalgation and
would surely have it in a short time.

HOT WAVE EXPECTED
AFTER A LITTLE RAIN

Straw hats disappeared today.
They We're out in all their glory Sat
-urday, but a drop of seventeen de-
grees sent most of the lids back
to the moth ball and blue paper
again. But there will be another
chance to wear them, for after a
little rain it's going to be hot some
more. That's what Professor William
Wiener, the local weather observer,
predicts.
Some of the people who are pes
simistic about all things said the hot
weather was sent here Saturday Just
for the big suffrage parade in New
York, and the excess heat of yester-
day was what was left over.
The temperature at its highest point
yesterday registered so degrees, ac-
eording to Prof Wiener Today 1t
dropped to SO degrees as the high
mark. At Il o'clock the temperature
was SO, as against 81 yesterday be-
tween 10 and II o'clock.
Thousands of people fiocked to the
county parks. and reservations yes
terday to enjoy the sunshine and
spring breezes. Even the park strips
maintained by the Shade Tree Com
mission were eagerly sought by the
children. who romped and played to
their hearts content.
Many boats were out on Branch
Brook lake and the Weequahic Park
lake yesterday.
The trolley cars, as we'll as the
straw hat dealers announce greatly
increased receipts as a result of the
warm wave. The trolley company
took advantage of the heat waves and
put open cars on most of the lines
which provide long trips
The ice cream vendors got their old
wagons and iceboxes out of the attic

Senator Colby's proposition will
come to showdown promptly all
over this State His amalgamation
proposition means nothing more nor
less, If accepted, than the destruction
of the Progressive party, and we cam
not find out too soon what Progress
sives are for that proposition and
what Progressives are against 1t. One
thing is certain, whatever Mr.. Colby
and the Republicans do there will be
at least one Progressive candidate,
absolutely opposed to amalgamation,
who will be a candidate in the Pro-
gressive primaries for the nomination
for governor And Mr.. Colby, If he
becomes a candidate in the Progress
sive primaries, will have ample OPP
portunity to debate his amalgamation
proposition before the Progressives of
the State.
"we will have our first showdown
at the meeting of the Essex county
committee tomorrow night. Two
months ago that committee passed a
resolution unanimously opposing any
kind of amalgamation. A resolution
will be introduced tomorrow night to
reaffirm that action. and we will find
out how many of the leaders of this
county will welcome such a move
ment with open arms
