men:.
The standing of the contestants
VINO have the largest number Oh
flies to their credit is as follows:
Catherine Page, $4,000.

There are number of other child
rem entered in the jane contest VINO
have a large number of flies to their
credit, but the three children having
the most up to the present are named

There is plenty of time for the

TOO BUSY TO RUN,
ASSERTS TUMULTy
Thanks Friends for Suggesting
Him for Governorship, but
Doesn't Want 1t.
Star Bureau,
Metropolitan National Bank Bldg,

WASHINGTON, July 23.
ITS nice of my friends to suggest
me for Governor. but there's nothing
In 1t. I've got all can do in this job,
and ! expect to have for the next four
years."
This was Secretary Joseph p. Tu
multy's answer this morning to the
repeated stories In New Jersey that
he will become the administration
candidate for the Democratic nomina-
ton.
It has been "doped" out for some
time here, by men who like to guess
about such things, that the admins
tration program was finally to put
Tumulty into the New Jersey prima-
ries as a compromise gubernatorial
candidate. Men who talked this kind
Of talk have pointed out that friends
Of the President and of Tumulty are
divided between the Fielder and Witt
penn camps in the primary fight, and
that while 1t would be impossible to
get either Wittpenn or Fielder to
withdraw in favor Of the other, 1t
would be entirely possible to get them
both out of the race in favor Of Tu-
multy.
When told Of this kind of talk Tu-
multy smiled.

he said, "is that It won't work. I'm

Fire to Tammany

ALBANY, N. Y. July Ex-Governor
Sulzer, after characterizing the Bing-
hamton fire as terrible catastro-
phe," declared in a statement today
that the people of the State will
hold Mr. Murphy, of Tammany Hall,
responsible.
ut Is a sad commentary on the
present condition of the State labor
department, which is tied up so that
it cannot execute the laws on the
statute books to prevent these TRACE
dies" says the statement. "The fact
is that MIR. Murphy will not permit
his Senate to confirm the nomination
of John Mitchell or James M. Lynch
for State labor commissioner, not
that he can say anything against
these men, who are peculiarly quail
fed to do the work, but because he
can't make me name his man for the
position. The people understand the
question. They will hold Mr. Murphy
responsible"

BuncO Men Get
His $500 Easily

Antonio Quaugiaue. of A Glenridge

that he didn't and the men then Of
fered him 800 for the information.
At this display of generosity Quau-
giaue offered the information that he
was stranger in Newark and that
he had just bought two suits of
clothing and was on his way back to

him to Montclair. After he had
drawn the money he placed it in a
handkerchief and slipped 1t inside of
his shirt. The trio then came back
to Newark, going to the Vienna Cafe
in Broome street, where they had
several drinks.
One of the men asked Antonio to
let him count the money. After he
had done so the handkerchief was
handed back and Antonio put it in
his shirt.
When they left the cafe they sep

block he found that the handkerchief

VACUUM WASHER
FIRMS TO REMAIN
Representatives of Seven Sales
Companies Vote to Con-
tinue Business.

Representatives of seven of the
firms interested in the vacuum wash
er which is being retailed extensive
ly in this city, held meeting in the
offices of the Fidelity Sales Company
in the Kinney building last night
and all voted to stay in the business
permanently.
The statements made by Conrad H.
Koellhoffer that he was going to
withdraw from the business, was
considered and a committee was ap-
pointed to wait upon him.
Mr.. Koellhoffer told the committee
that he had been quoted at return
ing $4,000 through a misunderstand-
ing. He said that he had not re-
turned any money, but was going TO
withdraw from the business and
would return their money to every
one who had invested in it through
him, if they applied to him for it.
He had application for about $4,000
worth of business, according to his
statement to the committee, but re-
fused to accept it because of his de-
cision to retire and devote his whole
time to his clothing business
Mr.. Koellhoffer expressed his opin-
ion that the business was thoroughly
legitimate in every manner, but could
not find the time to devote to 1t. He
says that he investigated it thorough
ly before he went into it and was as
sured of it's sound principles.
In a signed statement the following
companies say that they are in the
business to stay
Fidelity Sales Company, f. j. Radel
Sales Company, Connolly Sales Com
pany, Deerin Sales Company, Tested
Device Sales Company and Lupo Sales
Company.
