ABANDON HOPE OF
GENERAL PRIMARY
Democratic Leaders Do Not
Expect Congress Will Pass
Proposed Bill.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9--President
Wilson does not expect a presidential
primary law to be passed during the
next session of Congress, and some
Democratic leaders do not believe one
can be enacted to be effective in 1916.
In his message to Congress last De-
cember. the President urged that such
a law be passed Immediately and ex-
pressed hope that there would be a
general agreement to 1t. He is known
still to favor a primary law, but In
vestiga ton has impressed on him the
difficulties of the technical details.
The chief difficulty encountered by
the President has been that of fixing
a date for the presidential primaries.
Primaries now are held on different
dates in the States and the question
has been whether the legislatures can
change the state primary dates be-
fore 1916. Separate State and national
primaries, he has been told, would
prove very expensive.
The President has not yet begun
work on his next message to Congress
but 1t Is considered doubtful whether
he will mention the presidential pri-
mary question. He Is expected to
dwell on the necessity for economy
In appropriations and to urge the pas
sage of the Philippine bill. the Alex
ander ship purchase bill and several
remaining conservation measures.
Presidential primaries, rural credits,
railway securities and other questions
are expected to be left over because
of the brief duration of the session
The President now has no intention
of calling an extra session after
March 4.

GEN, CARRANZA
REMAINS FIRM
IN HIS REFUSAL
Issues Guarantees to Residents
of Vera Cruz, Despite Cutter
rez Adherents' Protest.

VERA CRUZ, Mex, Nov. 9-Gen-
eral Carranza has issued at Cordoba
a decree promising that the import
and either taxes collected at Vera
Cruz by the Americans since they
have been in control of that seaport
will not be levied again by the Mex
leans after the American evacuation.
General Carranza. however, makes
no reference to the demand made
upon him that those Mexicans who
have been in the employ of the
American authorities at Vera Cruz
be given guarantees of protection.
The decree was issued at Cordoba,
where General Carranza is In con-
ference with committee from the
Aguas Calientes convention.
The preface to the decree refers to
the petition circulated in Vera Cruz
asking the American forces to with
draw from that city, and says that.
since the residents of Vera Cruz have
manifested willingness to reject the
protection demanded for them by the
Unied States. the chief of the Consti-
tutionalists Is disposed to have their
wishes fulfilled. The preface Is cal
culated to show that the Mexican
people acted on their own response
bility. and not because of pressure
fr m Washington.
While Carranza was issuing the
decree in the character of the chief
executive, General Obregon and
other members of the committee ap-
pointed by the Aguas Calientes con-
vention to inform Carranza of the
election of Eulalio Gutierrez as pro-
vsional president, were insisting in
published statements that the con-
vention was the sovereign body and
Gutierrez the legal head of the ma
ton.
General Carranza met the members
of the committee from Aguas Calien-
ties. and in the conference the latter
persisted in their demand that the
sovereignty OF the convention and
the presidency of Gutierrez be pro-
claimed. General Carranza frankly
disagreed with this plan and with
sarcasm expressed doubt of the as
sertions of the committee that Gen.
erai Villa had retired from his COM
mand. He added that IL those who
made up the convention were afraid
to tear Villa from the northern field,
he himself would do 1t. General
Aguilar's line was further strength
ened during the night

Gray Had Plurality of More
Than LOO Over Mcdonald

Although the returns in the con-
gressional fight have not been COM
piled, so far as the Hudson county
section of the Eighth district is con-
cerned, there is said to be every rea-
son to believe that Edward w. Gray,
Republican, had a plurality in ex-
cess of LOO votes over his Demo-
cratic opponent. Gerald E. r. Nc
Donald. With these figures verified
1t would have made little difference
whether or not Thomas j. Duffy was
in the race.
Duffy, 1t Is understood, had been
put in the contest to hurt Melon
AIDS chances. Duffy received over
l. 400. The original returns gave Gray
plurality of a little over LOO votes,
and Immediately the cry went up
that If Duffy had not been in the
race Mcdonald would have won.
Gray's friends declare that If A. w.
Archibold, Progressive Republican
had not been a candidate, Gray would
have had a walkover, as Archibold
received more than 1000 votes The
official returns of the Essex county
section give Gray 7,477 votes against
4S06 for Mcdonald.

Railway BrOtherhO0ds
Restrained from Calling
Strike on Cotton Belt Line

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. Nov. e.--Threa rail-
way brotherhoods were restrained by
the Circuit Court today from calling
a strike on the St Louis Southwest
ern Cotton Belt railway
The injunction was directed against
the officers of the Order of Railway
Conductors, the Brotherhood of Rail-
road Trainmen and The J,ll therhood
of Locomotive Firemen and Engine
men.
The court ruled, however. that the
injunction did not prevent the unions
from taking a strike vote.
The injunction was granted at the
request of six union men who claimed
that the strike order was issued after
some of the men who had voted in
favor of a strike had asked that their
votes be changed.

PARLIAMENT MAY
FORCE OFFENSIVE
ACTION BY NAVY
Opposition Likely to Urge More
Aggressive Methods in Re-
cruiting, Too.
BY the United Press.

LONDON, Nov 9--With Parliament
converting Wednesday for its second
war session." the greatest interest is
beng manifested in the attitude the
opposition members may take toward
the government, especially in relation
to the affairs of the admiralty.
There is also the question of the
plans adopted by the war office in the
raising of the army for service in
France and Belgium, as well as the
system of censorship which permits
the public to know but little of what
Is transpiring in the field. The wis
dom of Withholding any information
which might be of value to the enemy
Is realized, butthe comparatively
slight response to the appeals for re-
cruits Is attributed to the fact that
nothing is evident in England to
arouse the patriotic fervor OF her
fighting men.
Members of the opposition feel that.
despite the fact that vessels sunk in
the North sea by the German SUBJ
marine raids were of little real value,
England has been Inundated by the
heavy toll taken there. The defeat OF
Admiral Cradock's squadron off the
Chilean coast came as a climax in
the growing sentiment for demand
that the admiralty assume some Of
fensive to offset these victories of the
Germans. 1t Is officially denied that
Yarmouth was bombarded by German
cruisers during last week, but ad-
mltted that these vessels did approach
close to the coast city.
There is a possibility that the
same patriotism which prompted the
opposing factions in Parliament to
present a united front when war was
first threatened will work it's infiu-
ence against any criticism from the
opposition. There has been a great
demand however. for the abolish
ment of much red tape still clinging
Unionist leaders believe the move
ment must either resort to conscrip-
ton or adopt a radically different
system of recruiting. They declare
that the cold, formal appeals for
recruits cannot be expected to bring
the patriotic response that would fol-
low an appeal to the war spirit by
the sight Of marching troops behind
regimental bands. Nothing is per-
mitted to be printed of troops leav-
ing for the front until they have
reached their destination. and they
generally slip out with few knowing
OF their departure.
There was no official comment to-
day on late Berlin wireless stating
that the fleet of Admiral CradoclS
had been "annihilated In the Pa
cific" The wireless also stated that
the kaiser had conferred the iron
cross upon the officers and crew Ct
the cruiser Karlsruhe.

Hotel Military Plaza
Promoters Re0rganize
and Will Hasten Work

The Park Investment Company, the
promoter of the Hotel Military Plaza
in Park place, has undergone slight
reorganization and work on the COM
pletion of the hotel building will be
pushed as rapidly as possible. The
building activity, while it had never
ceased entirely, had been reduced to
a minimum during the past few
months.
Business depression and the con-
dlTfon of the money market made the
operators bit cautious. RecentlF
John Montieth dropped out of the
project. and for time 1t was feared
that New York investors would have
to be called on to take his place
Then Edwin A. Kirch applied for ad-
mission into the project, which COM
pleted the company and kept the
hotel in Newark hands. The other
members of the company are Waldo
G. Genung and Herman G. Schneider,
the president.
1t is expected that the hotel will be
opened early in February.
