NEWARK TO GET
CONVENTION OF
MUNICIPALITIES
Delegates Will Meet Here in
1916 in Connection With
25oth Anniversary.
Special TO the Evening Star.

SpecfAl 70 tne Evening Stafs
MILWAUKEE,, Oct. 1.-The 1916
convention of the League of Amer
lean Munipalities will be held at
Newark, N. ]. This was decided at
the session of the present convention
here today. The action was taken
under suspension of the rules at the
invitation of James A. Rowe, auditor
of accounts, of Newark
The convention will be held at
Newark in connection with the 250th
anniversary celebration. The Newark
representatives put up hard fight to
land the convention for their city,
the principal competitor being Balti-
more. It Is probable that Baltimore
will get the 1917 convention.
Patrick c.. O'Brien, Of Newark, was
elected third president of the
league. Other officers elected were:
John ]. Ryder, of Omaha, president,
and Robert 10. Lee, OF aBltimore, Sec
retary.
The personal liberty spirit of Live
and let. live," under which Newark
has made such remarkable progress
in recent years, found great favor
with the delegates to the convention.
Newark's story was told in convjnc-
ing manner by James A. Rowe, aud
itor of accounts, and one of the New
ark delegates to the convention, In
an appeal for greater efforts to spread
the doctrine OF "home rule for Amer
lean cities.
Address Received with Interest
His address was received with In
terest and at it's conclusion he was
voted the thanks of the convention.
discussion ON some of the prin-
cipal points he made took place.
Mr.. Rowe had to answer more than
n hundred Inquiries and he more than
held his own. In his speech he laid
emphasis on the fact that all Ameri-
can cities We're handicapped by lack
of home rule and local self-govern-
Inent He said they had to depend
too much on the favor of the legis-
lators from rural districts, who were
largely in the majority IN pracrtically
all of the States and in the provinces
of Canada and that no matter how
honest the General Assembly might
be IL did not properly comprehend the
problems OF municipality.
Mr.. Rowe said everybody glorified
home rule for Ireland. why not,
then, provide home rule for America
and its domains n he asked. He said
he wanted the convention TO take high
ground and affirmative action on this
proposition, and WELD its great In
fuence In bringing this principle to
the attention of the country at large

NOT A CANDIDATE
| FOR MAYORAL!Y,
| SAYSMR. OELKERS
County Tax Commissioners Will
Not Enter the Field Against
Jacob Haussling.
WITHOUT A PAPER
CAMPAIGN Is HOPELESS
Mr.. OeIkers Fails to See Where
He or Anyone Else Would
Have a Chance.

County Tax Commissioner John 8.
Oelkers, in letter to the general
public today, set at rest all doubts
as to his intentions regarding the
Newark mayoralty question,
1t had been repeatedly asserted that
Mr.. Oelkers would be an independent
candidate for the office on the Demo-
cratic ticket as an opponent in the
party ranks to Mayor Jacob Hauss-
ling. who received the Democratic
nomination at the recent primaries.
Mr.. Oelkers will not be candidate
for the mayoralty.
He has given the matter careful
consideration and thought, he says,
and fails to see where candidate
for office could have any hope of sue
cess unless he had at least one daily
paper to espouse his cause.
Mr.. Oelkers's letter in full is as
follows:
To the General Public:
For some time past, have
been urged to enter the race for
mayor h2d been inclined TO
do SO, my purpose being 70 pIoll-
L.

tion
For the last two weeks have
consulted friends, who are versed
in public affairs. / must say that
I was inclined to enter the race.
However, l read an editorial in
Tuesdays issue of the Evening
News, wherein that paper gave
it's unqualified support to Mr..
Raymond
with the, Newark Star. no
doubt, giving it's support to Mr..
Haussling. it would leave me, or
anyone else, without the support
of any of our daily papers.
A campaign without the aid
and support of any daily, when
each of the other candidates has
the support. of one daily paper,
would be both a discouraging and
a hopeless carypaign.
This is my lew of the situation
and the friends whom ] have
consulted think as ! do. They
agree that, under the circun~
stances. there would be npts the
slightest chance of success.
Therefore. have, after consid-
ering all the facts Yad weighing
every condition, de9 ied not to
enter the race for mayor at this
time.

Express Optimism About Peace

Ell PASO, Tex, Oct Luis
Aguirre Benavides. secretary to Gen
eral Villa, under date of September
80, telegraphed the Associated Press
that an armistice had been declared
through Mexico, with Aguas Calientes
as neutral zone He stated also
that elections would be held accord
ing to the first agreement from Oc-
tober to 10.
These points had been agreed on,
he said, at preliminary conference
at Zacatecas, after which General
Villas party left for Aguas Calientes
to confer with General Oregon and
other Carranza leaders. Villa was
met at Zacatecas by commission
headed by General Eduardo Hay.
Benavides said that the meeting had
aroused great optimism for a happy
outcome of the conference.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.--President
Wilson said today that the outlook
was very good The, President said
Secretary Bryan had taken UP APP
peals for the relief of nuns and
priests in Mexico, but that at pres
ent there was little this government
can do.
General Carranzas' resignation,
generally expected today as a step
in healing the breach with General
Villa and his followers, may not
take place until after the conference
of military chiefs seekino to com
pose the differences finishes its work
at Zacatecas. The Zacatecas con-
ference was expected to assemble to-
day. Information here was that its
sole purpose is to satisfy the de-
mands of Villa
Chief among those is Carranza's
resignation, and while that may be
pledged it was said Carranza prob
ably would follow his original plan
of not actually giving up his place
until the Mexico City convention
chooses a provisional President.
Communications from Mexico, slow
in transmission and hampered by a
rigid censorship, shed no light on
whether this convention, also called
for today, would begin sessions, or
whether it would be DELAYED to await
tho outcome OF the Zaeate,ssss c,snfcr-
vailed IN administration circles and
among some close TO Carranza.
The delay, however. was not re-
garded as endangering the hope of
q settlement Of Mexican affairs, and
the FEELING of optimism In official cir
cles continued. The attitude of the
administration continued as one of
impartial observation.
