.F|TH|AN NOT To
RUN FOR MAYOR;
PARTIES At SEA

DIR. G.. W. Fithian has declined to &C
cept the offer of support for the Repub
hcan mayoralty nomination. Hi
grounds for refusal include the devotion
of attention to his private practice, hav
ing declared that he felt as though hi
would not be able to d>vote the time
he believed would be necessary to con
duct the office of mayor. AS result
the Republicans are farther up a tree
than ever through the absen~J. of de
sirable material. 1t is reported that
Democrats are practically in the same
ditch. Some declare that a Democrat
possibility will be settled upon this
week, while among Republicans it is
generally believed that there will be nc
decision among the opponents until
their outing and clambake to Coney
Island is held next week.
1t was freely admitted among G. O.
P. leaders in this city today, following
the announcement of DR.. Fithian 's
declination, that they were in a quandry
as to what course to pursue next to
pick a desirable man to seek the Re
publican nomination. A similar state
of perplexity seemed to be prevalent
among Democrats, while Progressives
smiled and spoke optimistically concern
ing their choice, Adam Eckert.
Not in years have the leading polit-
ical parties had so much difficulty in
settling on candidates for the office of
chief executive in the city. The posi-
tion seems to be more of an honorary
one than anything else and one must
jeopardize his private interests, often
times health and friendship in pursu-
ance of his duties, it is declared. 1t is
mainly on these grounds that the most
responsible people who are sought de-
cline to try for nominations.
Commenting on the dechnation Of
DR.. Fithian to become candidate for
mayor, this morning, H. R. Wilson, pres.
ident of the Republican Club, stated
that it was regretted very much that
DIR. Fithian could not see his way clear
to become the mayoralty candidate on
the Republican ticket this fall. He said
that in approaching DR.. Fithian to be
the candidate it was not with any in
tention of debating who the nominee
should be or to in any way interfere
with the opportunity of others who
might wish to place their names before
tho voters of the city in the open prim-
ary, but realizing the fact that the type
of men qualified to fill the office of
mayor creditably do not usually volun-
teer their services and as no acceptable
candidate had come forward the club
had, in looking over the field, concluded
that DR.. Fthian, being well and favor
ably known throughout the city and a
man in every way competent to conduct
the business of the office, would be a

PAVEMENT WORK
MAY Be DELAYED

Work of filling in and building up
the macadamized sections of Amboy
and New Brunswick avenues, to be
resurfaced with asphaltic oil and
crushed stone, is being completed to-
day. Bids for the paving of Amboy
avenue, which were readvertised for
because of discrepancy concerning
the thickness Of asphalt blocks to
be used, are sheduled to be received
at a regular meeting of the Board
of Aldermen tonight.
The outlying section of Amboy
avenue, extending from the northerly
line of st. Mary's cemetery to the
city's northerly boundary line, has
been put in completed shape by the
city's street department for the re-
ceipt of the proposed top dressing
Similar work under way on New
Brunswick avenue, bety en- Mitchell
street and the city's westerly bound
ary line, Is being completed today.
The surfacing work will be done
later when work on the proposed
pavements has progressed sufficient
ly.
Unless sufficiently rapid progress
is made within the next month, the
section OF New Brunswick avenue
lying between the Lehigh Valley rail-
road tracks and Mitchell street, may
not be paved this year. Chairman
John j. Clark, of the committee on
streets and sewers of the Board of
Aldermen, states he will not permit
street improvement work to 60 on in
frosty weather and he says there will
have to be some hurrying to get the
present project through in time.

rians and Poles, on their way to

phia, of the American line, for Eng
land, with the intention of transferr-
ing at Liverpool for their different
countries, before England had been
embroiled in the European conflict
When they arrived In Liverpool,
they were placed under arrest by sol
diers and detained, according to the
letter to Mr.. Goldberger. They have
no citizenship papers, and Mr.. Gold
berger knows Of no way to secure
their release, as they are considered
captives of war. The steamship
agent, however, has advised them to
appeal to the American consul, who
may prevail on the English govern
ment to allow the men to return to
this country. Some of them had
families with them, but their wives
and children were not held.

ported this morning that the United

Although he has a definite idea as
TO the men to fill important places in
his administration, and has communi-
Gated with some Of them, Governor
elect Whitman has yet reached no final
decision on any of his appointments.
He is faminarizing himself with the

Much Of the morning yesterday was

that the Governor-elect received 5000
letters. a goodly proportion were
either applications or suggestions for
appointments.
After a brief visit to the District

WALLSTEIN CALLS
MORE COR0NERS
Commissioner of Accounts Re-
sumes His Inquiry Into
Their Office.

Pursuit of the query, "Why is n
Coroner" will be resumed to-day by
Leonard NJ. Wallstcin, Commissioner Of
Accounts. DR.. Haven Emerson, Dep
uty Commissioner of Health, will be
the star witness in the morning, when
the value of inquistion papers will be
inquired into.
DR.. Emerson has said that 40 per
cent Of the 500 coroners' inquest
papers filed with his department since
January l had given causes OF death
which had not been sufficiently verified
before the certificates were signed.
Later Dr.. Israel l.. Feinberg and Dr..
Patrick d. Riordan, coroners, will be
called to take the stand. Coroner Tim
othy Healy is in Philadelphia.
Coroner Feinberg refused yesterday
10 tell what position he would take.
IL would not be respectful TO Commits
sioner Wallstein to do so in advance Of
the hearing, he said. 1t is believed
that his attitude will be much more
compliant than that of Coroner HELEN
stein.
As George P. Nicholson, Assistant
Corporation Counsel, had not digested
the testimony taken at Mondays hear
ing, no application was made TO the
court for an order upon Coroner Hell
lenstein TO show cause why he should
not answer the questions or be com
mtted for contempt. The application
will be made to-day or tomorrow.
Commissioner Wallstein was not
worried yesterday by the suggestion
that an appeal might be taken. II all
the coroners followed the lead of Cor
oner Hellenstein such action might
cause delay, but the inquiry would be
pursued without the assistance and ex-
plantations of the coroners.

the statements he made failed 70 throw
any light upon the whereabouts OF his
mother, who is much desired as W.T..
ness. Young Sullivan will be recalled
this morning.

at the Offices of the younger sullivan,
at 155 Maiden Lane, they we're refused

She proved to be Miss Lucille Cullen,

Sullivan's two daughters have been
visiting an aunt, Mrs. w. j. Weed, at

and it is presumed that she is still in
New Jersey.
More than fifty prisoners were re-
moved from Sing Sing 70 the Clinton
Prison, at Dannemora, yesterday, but
Sullivan was not among the number.
His health, il Is said, is shattered. He
is an inmate of the hospital, where he
is safe, incidentally, from the other
conyicts, who have vowed TO do him
harm for the disgrace they ellege he
brought upon Mccormick.
