NELLY Is CONTENT
TO MAKE ATTACKS

OF MIXED VOTERS IN

Much Of His Talk Was Devoted TO
The intelligence, Accusing II
OF Unfairness.

Congressman NJ. NJ. Nicely. candi-
date for reelection this fall, coaxed
a mixed audience into an enthusiast
tic frenzy last night at the Market
Auditorium. and just at the point
where unpretudiced hearers were ex-
pecting to hear him tell why he
should go back TO Congress this fall.
he brought forth the applause OF part
OF his audience by using the same
tactics that characterized the year
prior to 1861. Centering his attack
principally upon the Intelligence and
its publisher. he resorted to all the
vile epithets that are known to his
silvery tongued vocabulary. Persons
who expected TO hear a political
speech. based upon the current Issues
OF the day and answering the clamor
OF an American people. received the
same information that they could
have received by reading the issue OF
the Congressional record. that tabu-
lated the actions OF October s. 1914.
Doctored and redoctored. he re-
rendered with few exceptions. cutting
out the things that would reflect
upon himself here In the district. the
same speech that he made before the
house Of representatives. In speak
ing Of the enthusiastically. he said
that he never had promised the post

Brokers Are losing Money.
Stock exchange brokers reconclled
themselves today 20 the probability OF q
prolonged suspension Of the market OF
New York. w. C. Antwerp, a member
OF the board OF governors, said that there
was no thought of reopening the ex-
change in the immediate future
The financial aspect of the situation
he said, was serious one. Members Of
the exchange realized that they would
suffer enormous losses should the period
Of suspension be prolonged. for, while
receipts in the form OF commissions or
stock exchange transactions would b.
cut off, expenses go on as usual

Although immediate resumption OF
business is not expected, brokers have
hesitated to disorganize their machinery
by dismisslng employees and cutting off

be unable to transact business.

TRYING TO SAVE CECILIE
Ship With Gold Ordered to Avoid
British Ports.
CARRIES TEN MILLION
Big shipment from New York L.
Consigned to Banks in London
and Paris-Three Liners

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.--This. govern
ment is investigating report that the
steamer Kron Prinzessin Cecilie has been
taken in charge by British cruisers The
gold bullion it carried is regarded as
neutral until delivered to the English
and French conslgnees.
NEW YORK, Aug. 3-Wireless mes
ages were dispatched today from the
home office of the North German Lloyd
Steamship company In Bremen ordering
the Kron Prinzessln Cecllie, which has on
board SO,6oo,OOO in gold for London and
Paris banks, to proceed directly to
Bremen without touching as usual at
Plymouth and Cherbourg. This order,
as announced at the New York offices of
the company here today, was taken to
mean that the steamship officials pro-
posed to deliver the gold aboard German
warships rather than run the risk of
seizure by British ships.
The report that the ship was off the
north coast of Ireland last night and
another that it had been captured by
British men-of-war, were not confirmed
nor was there any information as to the
disposition of the passengers. Most of
them are bound for England and France.
Liners Reach New Yor'.
The anxiety in New York for this and
other steamships increased az the reports
of war activities were read today. There
was relief in two instances in the ar
rival Of the steamers George Washing
ton from Bremen, Southampton and Cher
bourg and the Rotterdam from Rotterdam
and Boulogne. Their cabins were crowded
with homecoming tourists, grateful to
have reached port in safety.
The Hamburg American line offices
here learned today that their steamship
Albingia, headed for Jamaica, had put
back to Cartagena- Colombia, rather than
run the risk Of entering a British port
today. The Graecia, from the West Indies.
arrived here safely.
Agents of the Austro-American steam
ship line announced that the steamship
Kaiser Franz Josef 1. which was due TO
sail from Triesta and Fiume on Saturday,
would be held there indefinitely. The
, Martha Washington OF the same line ar
rived safely at New York today.
