SILENT ON CHICAGO GAME
Harvard Divided Over Contest
with Western Eleven.

Cambridge. Mass, Dec. Neither con-
frmation nor denial could be obtained
here to-day from Harvard officials re-
gardng report that negotiations were
under way for football game with Chi
cago University. j. w. Farley graduate
manager OF athletics, and 6. +. Plymp-
ton, undergraduate manager, declined TO
discuss the matter. I'VE can say nothing
about it," was the only comment either
man would make.
Among some OF the followers of the
Crimson athletes who had heard that Chi
cago had approached Harvard regarding
a game il was suggested that such a
contest might meet the approval OF critics
who thought Harvard's schedule this year
too easy. Before meeting Princeton. these
critics pointed out, the Crimson line had
no hard test, and as a result Of weak
nesses disclosed in that game there was
a radical shake-up. involving much extra
work and worry for coaches and players
before the Yale game.
In view Of agitation In certain quarters
against frightening the football season
the belief was expressed that IL Chicago
were taken on one at least OF Harvard $
opponents of last season would be dropped
from the schedule.

STOKES ONCE MORE
HITS GERAN LAW
Also Defends His Record in An
swering Prosecutor Huds-
peth's Statement.
fFrom a STAFF correspondent.l

TRENTON, Oct. 1s-Declaring that
a primary law which permits frauds
such as occurred in Hudson county
in the primaries is not model law,
Edward c. Stokes, the Republican
nominee for governor, today took &C.
casion to answer a statement Issued
by Prosecutor Robert S. Hudspeth,
of Hudson, in connection with the
scandal in that county.
Mr.. Stokes says:
"Mr Hudspeth's only answer to my
statement begs the question entirely.
He does not deny the guilt of the
Democratic party, but he says that
there had been primary frauds years
ago, and he wasn't aware that 1 did
anything to remedy the situation In
legislative way. Mr.. Hudspeth has
a poor memory.
THE frequent Democratic scandals
in Hudson and Essex In 1901 and 1902
and the Republican primary scandals
in Camden were a disgrace to the
State. The Republican party deserves
credit for the remedy. ! was chair
man of the committee that drew the
first effective, comprehensive primary
law adopted in this State, shortly
after the primary disturbances, Dem
ocratic and Republican, to which
Mr.. Hudspeth refers. That law was
a great step in advance, and was
passed in spite of the opposition of
the party leaders on both sides. I

mittee and used my influence to have
it enacted. No such scandals of that
character have occurred since.
proceedings were elimin-
ated. Frauds have recently occurred,
and / take exception to the attitude
of my opponents thereon.
THE contention of Governor Fielder
is that the present election laws are
models and ought not to be changed.
The contention of the Republican
party and myself is that law, under
which are possible such frauds as
recently occurred in the Democratic
primaries in Hudson, is not a model
law, as Governor Fielder says, and
it is our duty to strengthen and i'm
prove 1t, and stop such offenses as
occurred in the Democratic primaries
in Hudson, and that l propose to do
if elected.
Il am no respecter of persons in
this policy. 1 repudiate fraud in
Ocean as we'll as in Hudson, and I
shall seek its elimination and pun
ishment there, just as I shall else
where"

the movements of the men.

Fears He Has Ended Life

ELIZABETH, Oct. 1s.-Fearing that
he may have committed suicide, rela-

years old, of s95 Cross avenue, have
asked the police of this city to aid in
the search for him. Allen disap-
peared from his home more than a
week ago.
Seven years ago Allen suffered from
severe illness from which, it is said,
he never fully recovered. Last week
his condition became such that he
disposed of his grocery store in Nor
ris avenue. A sister, Miss Helen
Allen, said today that her brother
worried considerably over business
affairs. She fears, she said, his mind
may have become unbalanced.
