LONDON. Oct. S.-Al eyes today
are turned to the city of Antwerp,
whose fate is regarded here as I'M
portant out of all proportion to the
numbers of men engaged in its at
tack and defense. Germany must not
only keep an open door into France,
It. is argued here, but she must be
prepared to close the back door to
Essen, a most important German
military centre, in case the long and
stubborn fight of General Won Kluek,
the commander of the German right
wing, ends in disaster
The condition of panic among the
populace at Antwerp was increased
by the appearance at II O'Clock yes
terday morning and in the after
noon of German aircraft which
dropped bombs, destroying seven
houses and killing score of peo-
pie.
On account of the zeppelins sue
ing to the railroad station quickly
became black with a struggling mass
of persons eager to escape from the
city. Seized with an unreasoning
terrible fear of bombardment or of
charge of German cavalry the resi-
dents are transporting invalids, Grip
pies and even the occupants of lu-
natic asylums. II was a pathetic
sight to see the poor people, some
carrying on their backs their hope
lessly MANNED or idiotic relatives,
who were crowded into railroad vans
and transported northward to remain
in some cattle shed or railroad plat
form until rooms can be found for
them in Dutch asylums and institu-
tions.
According to formal notification
sent into Antwerp by the German
commander, the active bombardment
of the city is now under way.
A dispatch to the Exchange Tele-
graph Company from Antwerp states
that King Albert remains in the city
during the bombardment.
The military governor, General de
Guise, has posted a proclamation
recommending that the inhabitants
make their cellars habitable and take
precautions against the fai}irg-- or
shells and the outbreak of fires.
The war has presented no picture
OF greater desolation than that Of
the hosts of refugees fleeing from the
last Belgian stronghold. The citi-

England and Holland in such num-
bers that the hospitality Of these
countries is likely to be taxed to the
utmost.

A cry has gone up from all quarters
of the city. Charges have been made
that policemen accepted money for
obtaining places in the line for the
purchase of reserved seats yesterday,
and director Porter has ordered q
rigid investigation. With detectives

The prospect of rain for the first

Special to the Evening star
TRENTON, Oct. S.-The resignation
of Congressman Walter I. Mccoy, of
the Ninth district, reached Governor
Fielder today. Congressman Mccoy
has been named by President Wilson
as a member of the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia.
As the congressman to be elected

FOR UNEXP|RED
AND full. TERM
Parker and Seymour Committee
Selections in Ninth Con-
'G gress District.

The Republican County Committee
at special meeting yesterday aft
ernoon selected r. Wayne Parker as
a candidate to fill the unexpired term
of CONGRESSMAN Walter I. Mccoy, of
the Ninth district. Mr.. Parker at the
recent primaries was nominated as
the regular Republican candidate Tor
the congressional office.
CITY Counsel Arthur r. Seymour,
of Orange, has been selected by the
Democratic County Committee to op-
pose Mr.. Parker for both the unex-
pired and full terms. Congressman
Mccoy has been appointed to the
United States Supreme Court bench
in the District of Columbia.
The proclamation. issued today by
Governor Fielder, calling for special
primary on November II for the nom
ination of a successor to Mr.. MCCOY,
and December / for a special election
in the case, will naturally upset the
plans of both the Republican and the
Democratic county committees.
Up to this time the law was inter-
preted by the officers of both commit
tees to contain directions consider
ably different from those contained in
the governors proclamation.
The election law. as construed here,
provides that the county or city po-
litical organization shall select the
candidates for vacancies which occu-
after the last day for fling petitions
has passed.
Both Mr.. Seymour and Mr.. Parker.
1t was figured out, would have their
names on the ballot twice; once for
the full term and again for the un-
expired term.
There was some speculation as to
Just how the unexpired term should
be filed. While in some quarters it
is maintained that it could be done at
the general election, others held that
only special election could settle the
question.
A section of the law that appeared
to fit the case is 1876, which provision
reads as follows:
whenever any vacancy or va
cancies shall happen in the repre-
sentation Of this State in the House
of Representatives 1t shall be the
duty of the Governor forthwith to
issue a writ of election to fill such a
vacancy or vacancies, unless the term
of service for which the person or
persons whose office or offices shall
become vacant will expire within two
months next after the happening of
such vacancy or vacancies"
As a new Congressman does not
take office until March 5, although he
Is administered the oath of office at
the first session of the new Congress
on the first Monday in December.
this would make the unexpired term
of Congressman Mccoy more than the
two-month limit mentioned in Sec
-1tion 1885,
