As to Isl n. Seaton.

To the Editor Of the State Journal:
In the last political letter sent out
by s. T. Scaton, publicity agent for the
state administration, find the fol-
lowing:
1.-The Republican state central commit
tee, whoever that might be, continues to
misrepresent and misQuote not only the
facts representing the administration. but
the statements made by Governor
Hodges Tom McNeal, who came before
the legislature and begged the Democrats
to clear up a deficiency OF $S.464.sl. which
printer. is now criticising the governor
for increased appropriations. Neither MT.
McNeal. nor the Republican state CEN
trail committee Is honest enough to quote
the facts. When Mr.. 'McNeal says that
Governor Hodges claimed there was a
deficiency Of $4,000 In the state printing
hood: because governor Hodges never
made such a statement, and when Mr..
McNeal gave his statement to the press.
Governor Hodges, stating exactly
wwhat he said in his speech. Mr.. Nc
Neal, like all others who want to

which have never been known to give
Governor Hodges a square deal. The truth
is the Democratic legislature had to APP
propriate s.. 464.31 to meet : deficiency
caused by Mr.. McNeal spending too much
money when he was State Printer
In the foregoing statement there are
at least four falSehOOos.
First did not go before the legis-
lature and beg 1t to clear up a defi-
cheney Of 9.464.31 which occurred DUR
ing my term as state printer. I neith-
err went before the legislature nor be-
fore the ways and means committee
to say q word in relation to the defi-
cheney bill. l claimed then and claim
now that there was no deficiency in
fact.
Second-When Mr. Seaton states
that at the time made my statement
to the press concerning the statement
OF Governor Hodges, I had letter in
my possession from the governor stat

WILSON SILENT
UPON SEIZURE OF
AMERICAN SHIP
Refuses to Comment Upon Ac-
ton of British Cruiser Until
Particulars Are Received.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-President
Wilson had not been officially in
formed today of the seizure of the
American tank steamer Brindilla by
British cruiser, but told callers he
was following the case with interest.
The Brindilla was seized off New York
and taken to Halifax.
Generally speaking, the President
said. a ship of a neutral nation, bound
from one neutral port to another, is
exempt from seizure. He added. how
ever, that he did not know enough
of the particulars to say what posi-
ton would be taken by the American
government.
Acting Secretary Lansing, of the
state department, received message
today from the American consul-gen-
eral at Halifax, reporting the arrival
of the Brindilla under convoy Of the
British auxiliary cruiser Caronia. No
details of the circumstances Of the
seizure were given and Mr.. Lansing
said that in the absence of further in
formation no expression of opinion
would be made by the department.
HALIFAX, N. s., Oct. 19.-Just what
plan would be pursued with regard
to the American tank steamer Brin-
dilla, seized by the British auxiliary
tiulHti t<dIOIid anu sDiVh6hi ttNiS
yesterday could not be learned today.
1t Is supposed that the Brindilla,
which was formerly the German
steamer Washington, was suspected
of having contraband aboard. It Is
also. reported that when she was halt
ed by the Caronia outside of New
York harbor last Tuesday she was
steering a course at variance with the
ordinary course for her announced
destination. She cleared from New
York for Alexandria, Egypt.
1t was thought possible that the
question whether the transfer of the
Brindilla from German TO American
registry was a transaction In good
faith might be considered by the adj
milarty court. The purchase of the
steamer from the Riedermann line
by the Standard OIL Company of New
Jersey. was announced on September
Il.
The oil tanker Brindilla is owned by
the Standard Oil Company, OF Bay
onne, N. j., and was transferred from
German to American registry early In
October, under the Underwood amend
ment to the Panama canal act OF 1917.
David r. Warden, manager OF the
foreign department of the STANDARD
Oil Company of New Jersey. when
told last night at his home in Mont
clair that the Brindilla had been cap
tured, said he would take the matter
up with Washington today. Informed
that the vessel was suspected OF taxi
ing fuel to German cruisers, he
laughed, and said her cargo would
be of no use, as 1t was illuminating
oil and the vessel herself was a coal
burner.
An official of the United States GUS
tom house in New York last night sur
missed that the captain of the warship
might not have received notice from
Lloyd's regarding the change of reg
istry, and when her code letters r. j..
I7W B. were hoisted at the nainmast
head he read it in his book to be the

Brindilla, of Bayonne, N. j.

MINEOLA, N. ", Oct. 19.-Mrs.
Florence Conklin Carman, of Free
port. was placed on trial today for
murder. She was charged with slay-
ing Mrs. Louise Bailey of Hampstead,
on the night of June 80 last, while
Mrs Bailey was in the office of DR..
Edwin Carman, the defendants hus-
band whittier she had gone for
medical advice.
Contrary to forecast, the case prog
ressed swiftly and smoothly during
Z its opening hours. Within twenty
minutes the first juror was selected;
within an hour and five minutes, three
men sat in the jury box; at noon five
were there. The 113 talesmen, 1t was
believed, would be more than adequate
for the jury.
A throng Of men and women storm
ed the Court House in futile effort
to obtain seats in the tiny courtroom.
Few were admitted.
Mrs. Carman appeared to be self
possessed, but became increasingly
nervous as the proceedings progressed.
She whispered often to her husband
and counsel during the selection of the
jury. William Bailey, whose wife was
the victim, sat within ten feet of her,
but apparently she did not see him.
r.. f. Ludlum Foreman of Jury.
Robert f. Ludlum, builder of
Oyster Bay, was the first juror select
ed and was, therefore, the foreman.
The other four jurors in the box at
noon included a barber, a gardener
and salesman.
Several talesmen were excused be-
cause they said DIR. Carman had pro-
fessionally attended them or members
of their family. Others were excused
upon announcing that they were op-
posed to capital punishment
Mrs. Jennie Duryea, mother of the
murdered woman, and William b.
Bailey, her husband, expect to at
tend all sessions of the trial. Their
testimony will have to do only with
the departure of Mrs Bailey from
her home to visit a friend They
have said they knew nothing of her
intention to call at the office of DIR.

ENEMY OF i. S.
Rev. Mercer G. Johnston Also
Sees England as Friend of
This Nation.

Rev Mercer G.. Johnston, rector OF
Trinity Episcopal Church. said yes
terday in the course of sermon that
England is the friend and Germany
the enemy of the American spirit,
and that If Americans thought Eng
land in danger of defeat in the pres
ent war they would throw eff their
neutrality to Join hands with their
blood cousins.
He said also that those who favor
Germany in this war should either
go there and fight for the modern
Caesar or remain quiet here and not
try to interfere with the full and free
working of the american spirit"
The occasion was the annual church
service of the New Jersey Society of
the Sons of the American Revolution
in commemoration of the 133d ami
versary of the British surrender ut

members of the Society of the Gin
cinnat. the Society Of Colonial Wars,

I'VE are met here today to remind
ourselves that this is the 133d anni-
versary of the surrender at yorktown
of Lord CORVALLIS, an Englishrnan,
to General Washington, an English
man, reborn an American six years
before this event. and to think such
thoughts as are suitable to such an
occasion at such a time as this.
Let me speak to you of the Ameri-
can spirit. Whence came this spirit?
who helped to bring 1T into being?
Who were its enemies, and who were
it's friends, in the beginning Who
are it's enemies and who are its
friends now? What is the future Of
this spirit? What Is the duty of it's
friends and lovers today?
"But for George Washington there
would have been no American ma
tion. Well. what think you of Wash
ington, whose son was he? Under
what flag was he born? Under what
flag did he live the first thrity-three
years of his life? Surely no one
would say that Washington was a
son Of France, or a son of Germany.
Surely no one will deny that Wash
ington was a son of England. Wash
ington was an Englishman down to
the day the Declaration of Indepen-
dence was signed, and he, never
ceased to be proud of the blood of his
English ancestors that flowed in his
