V0ORHIS ON STAND
DEFENDS HIS ACTS
Doubtful Names on Registry
List Investigated Before Bal
lots Were Cast, He Says.

The activities Of the Progressive
party played ar important part in the
hearing yesterday of the charges
against John R. Voorhis, State Super
intendent of Elections, by the Honest
Ballot Association. A long list of
names of dubious voters made up by
Francis W. Bird, chairman of the
Progressive County Committee, was
handed to Mr.. Voorhis by his counsel.
Mr.. Voorhis testified that he had
received the list and that every name
upon it had been investigated. The
witness asserted that in every in
stance when there was any question
of the right to vote involved the name
was placed on the challenge list. Mr..
Voorhis's statement was borne out by
documentary evidence.
Compared to former sessions, that
of yesterday was dull. The only time
the proceedings struck fire was when
w. Cleveland Runyon, counsel for the
plaintiff, said that he knew of man
in Philadelphia who voted for twenty
years after his death.
John I. Dooling, of counsel for
Voorhis, insisted that ain dear old en-
lightened New York such depravity
was not TO be imagined"

HEDGES ANSWERS WOMEN
Replies to Delegation on Suf-
frage Question.

Job E. Hedges, candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for Governor, was
held up at 165 Broadway yesterday TO
state his position on woman suffrage.
The women who asked him TO put him.
self on record were Mrs. Martha Went
worth Suffren. vice-chairman Of the
Woman Suffrage Party, and Mrs. Eliza
beth Lee Norton, leader of the move
ment in the 18th Assembly District.
This was the reply of Mr.. Hedges:
81 know no logical answer to the ar
gument in favor of Woman Suffrage.
Its benefit to women will depend on the
way they use IT, It's benefit to the
state will depend on the number of
honest-minded, thoughtful women who
will fulfil their political duties. The
main argument against Woman Suf-
frage is much weakened by the num-
Der of men who refuse to participate in
their political duties.

EXPORTERS FACE
BUSINESS CRISIS
Shipping Tie-Up Impels Many
Firms to Begin Laying Off
Idle EMPLOYEES.

Requests are being made by mem
bers of the American Exporters and
Importers Association at its Offices, II
Battery Place, for information as to
how merchapdise sent TO the piers for
export just before the war began was
to be shipped abroad.
There are more than twenty large
exporting and importing firms in the
association, including w. r. Grace &
Co., Arkell & Douglass, R. W. Cam
eron & Co. and Strong & Trowbridge,
and in normal years the firms do a
business of S75,000,000. Everything
now, il was stated, is at a standstill
and employees are being laid off by a
number Of concerns, especially in cler-
ical departments.
"Some of the members" said George
F. Trowbridge, secretary Of the as
ISOLATION, last night, "are just be-
ginning to realize the situation. Mer-
chandise is coming TO one Of our men,
bers from Japan, for instance, and we
have no line on what has become of it.
Much merchandise put to sea before
the war began is unaccounted for.
"The entire situation is an object
lesson. A bill was introduced several
days ago in Congress providing that
merchant vessels could be purchased
for this country, but it will be prob
ably held up and passed about the time
the war is over. Meantime there is
within our grasp a great export trade,
especially in canned goods, and no
means 20 deliver them"

SEEKS TO DISCARD
HUSBAND OF A DAY
Mrs. Cawley Asks Separa-
ton from Health De-
partment Man.

The meeting, courtship, marriage ana
parting of Mrs. Jane Elizabeth Cawley
and Brice Cawley, food inspector OF
the Health Department, seem 20 nave
progressed with the rapidity OF NOV
ing picture as it is told by the wife IN
the separation suit she has filed IN the
Supreme Court.
They met as passengers on South
ern Pacific steamer in January, 1912.
Both we're bound for New Orleans,
Mrs. Cawley's native city. The court
shin followed Immediately and fhe
couple were married as soon as they
reached New Orleans.
On the same day Cawley, whose
father is Samuel Cawley, jr., an in
surance broker, received call to come
back to New York. That was the last
the young bride saw of her husband,
she says.
For some time after leaving her
Cawley wrote to his wife, she declares,
always promising TO return. Then she
ceased to hear from him.
Mrs. Cawley came to New York in
June, 1913, and searched unsuccess-
for her husband for two months. She
was called home by the illness Of her
mother, who later died. Since that
time, the wife declares, she has been
penniless.
Mrs. Cawley says her husband has
an income besides his salary from the
Health Department and is living in
luxury at the home of his parents, 1911
Dean ST., Brooklyn. The court yester-
day awarded Mrs. Cawley $25 a week
alimony.

Actress Alleges Husband
Refused to Work and
Quit Home.
LOVE MARRIED BY
ROWS OVER MONEY
Man Ignored Responsibilities All
His Life, Witnesses Say
Wife Supported House.
[Rv r.lerr,ph % The rrlbune

Trenton, N. j., Aug. 12.-According TO
the testimony submitted in the Court
Of Chancery, Fredericks Chamberlain
Hoey, the husband OF Miss Elsie Fer
guson, the actress, has no idea OF MS
responsibilities. Vice Chancellor Backes
to-day granted a preliminary decree OF
divorce in the suit brought by the wite'
The divorce will become absolute IN
six months.
According to the evidence submitted
To the court, Hoey has never performed
any real work One of the witnesses,
State Senator John W. Slocum, OF Mon
mouth County, said that he had known
Hoey for thirty years, but he never
knew him TO have any visible means OF
support.
Miss Ferguson and Hoey were mar
ried in Christ Church, Shrewsbury,
August 10, 1908. They lived at Holly
wood, Long Branch, until December,
1911, when Mr.. Hoey suddenly went 70
Europe. Mrs. Hoey said she had not
seen her husband since, with the ex-
ception of one occasion, when she was
walking along the street in Paris and
came face to face with him. The best
Mrs. Hoey testified that her husband
was continually in financial difficulties
and for years she supported him out
of her earnings as an actress. Despite
this, they lived happily, their only
troubles being mere spats over his
financial difficulties.
Since Hoey left her in 1911 Mrs
Hoey has received two notes from him,
and each contained clippings about her
self which he thought she might like
TO have.
In the opinion of Mrs. Amelia Fer
guson, the mother of Mrs. Hoey, the
husband was nice, amiable sort OF a
fellow, without the slightest regard for
his responsibilities. II was to Mrs.
Ferguson that Hoey gave his only no
tice that he was going to Europe to
live. She said that he was crack shot
and that Hoey told her that ne was
going 10 Monte Carlo in an effort TO
win prizes and money.
Immediately after their wedding Mr.
and Mrs. Hoey went TO Hollywood to
live. Hollywood was founded by John
Hoey. father of the delinquent husband.
After some years the home was sold for
debt, and now Mrs. Hoey lives in the
same house, for which she pays rent
John Hoey was for many years the
president of the United States Express
Company.
The report of the special master rec
ommendng the divorce for the actress
said that there was no special reason
why Hoey should have left his wife
except that he was tired of his respon-
sibilities

SEE NO HITCH IN
N. H. SETTLEMENT
Appearances of Many Lawyers
Entered Only as a Matter
of Form.

The entrance of the appearances Of
several lawyers for corporations and
individuals named in the government
suit against the New Haven in the
United States Court yesterday was in
some quarters interpreted as meaning
that a hitch had arisen in the settle
ment. However, the facts are that the
appearances are entered as a matter OF
form and stand until the decree agreed
upon is entered.
No call has yet been issued for a spe-
cial grand jury to consider the criminal
aspects of the New Haven case. 1t is
now doubtful if this is taken up much
before next month, as the evidence was
to be submitted to a special panel, and
as the law requires ten days notice to
jurymeu, such body could not assem-
BILE until the last week Of the month.
A feature of the New Haven situa-
ton is the position Of those who were
short of the stock when the market
closed. The short interest in New
Haven was large and as persistent at
fifty as il was at par. During the last
few days of the open exchange, when
standard stocks of the gilt-edged
variety were dropping points between
sales, New Haven was steady.
Now that the possibility of long and
costly litigation and q receivership is
out of the way, the position Of the
shorts is doubly uncomfortable, and
the longer the market remains closed
the more unpleasant it becomes.
President Hustis of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad Com
pany, before leaving for Boston at
midnight, where he is to confer with
Chairman Elliott, issued the following
statement:
"An erroneous impression seems to
have gone forth that the company has
yielded in its settlement with the gov
eminent the time limit set for the sale
of the Boston e. Maine stock.
"The agreement between the Attor-
ney General and the representatives Of
this company of March 81, which was
ratified by the stockholders, provided
that the company should have two and
one-half years from July l, 1914, to
complete the sale, but, for good cause
shown, the time may be extended by
the United States District Court.
1.-THE arrangement just agreed to
provides that the company shall have
until January /, 1917, to dispose of the
stock, unless, for good cause, the court
grants additional time.
"But if by July /, 1915, the New Ha-
ven company and the Massachusetts,
Legislature agree on terms on which
this control shall be parted with, salts
factory to the United States and APP
proved by the court, such plan shall be
adopted by order Of the court"

WARBOUND, GETS
.ALIMONY INCREASED
Mrs. Chester B. Duryea's Re-
quest Granted, SO She Can
Come Home from Paris.

The appeal for aid made by Mrs.
Chester B. Duryes that the Supreme
Court increase her alimony from $50 a
week 10 S4,700 a year, so that she and
her fourteen-year-old son could leave
Paris, where they are war bound, was
needed by Justice Hendrick yesterday,
who fixed the alimony at $4,000.
Chester B. Duryea, husband OF the
petitioner. is an inmate Of the Mattea-
wan State Hospital, where he was COM
mitted for the killing of his father,
General Hiram Duryea, in May. HIS
wife obtained a separation In l9O4.
Mrs. Duryea made her affidavit IN
Paris. asking for money at once to
enable her and her son to come home,
saving that she was destitute. Her
husband is one of the heirs Of his
father. and his income from the per-
sonal property is more than $4,000 a
wear. which he cannot use while IN
Matteawan. -.
There was no serious opposition IN
court Yesterday to granting an in
crease to Mrs. Duryea, although coun-
sci for the estate of General Duryea
thought that $4,000 was too much, con-
tending that the property would not
appraise more than 100000, instead OF
the 81 100000 estimate placed upon It,

CARRANZA NEARS
MEXICAN CAPITAL
Diplomats Go to Teoloyu-

Teoloyucan, Mexico, Aug. 12.-Gen-
ersl Carranza, the Constitutionalist
leader, arrived here to-day. Fifty
thousand Constitutionaist soldiers are
modified at this place, which is TWEEN
ty-one miles from Mexico City.
A special train from Mexico City
brought the ministers and plenipotenti-
aries Of Brazil, Guatemala, France and
Great Britain here for a conference

ianza has ordered held at Tampico a
large shipment Of ammunition con-
signed TO General Villa, according 10
official advices to-day TO the Wash
ington government For many weeks
Villa has been busy recruiting and
buying ammunition, and Carranzs has
not objected 70 shipment Of the latter
via Tampico. To-day, however, he
called a halt. and agents of Villa, who
have been purchasing ammunition for
him were much surprised.
Reports of increasing friction be-
tween the two Constitutionalist lead
ers reached here to-day from various
sources Villas demands, in brief, are
as follows:
First That a civil instead Of a mill
tary government be established
throughout Mexico and a general cleo
ton conducted by II; that no military
chief be provisional president and that
no military chiefs hold the office OF
provisional governor Of any Of the
states. General Villa himself is mill
tary governor of Chihuahua, from
which post he is willing to retire, and
he wants Carranza to retire as first
chief.
Secondhand reforms should be put
into effect in accord with the Mexican
constitution and in a lawful and or
derby way.
ThirdEThe present Federal army
should be dissolved, but its meritorious
officers and men be taken over into
the new army of the republic, COM
posed Of the Constitutionalist forces.
Fourth-Amnesty shall be given all
political offenders except those d.
rectly responsible for the overthrow
of Madero and SuareZ.

partment II was said the movement OF

them might be used in safeguarding
neutrality.

WILL BAR STATES
FROM SARATOGA
Leaders of Republican
Convention to Follow
Committees Order.

No candidates for administrative
Offices on the Republican state ticket
will be considered at the state conven-
ton in Saratoga if the decision Of the
leaders is carried out. The state com,
mittee, in issuing the call, declared
against il.
However, at that time, it was the
idea Of Senator Root and some Of the
others that suggestions might be made
for the Offices below Governor. When
former Senator Harvey D. Human be-
came an active factor in the Govern
ship situation, the suggestion was put
forward by some Of the leaders that II
might be wise 70 settle the confusion
at the convention. This suggestion has
been considered and rejected.
Friends Of District Attorney Whit,
man said last night he still believed
there should be no consideration OF
candidates at the convention.
Il has been rather generally believed
that Job f. Hedges, who made such a
fight for q convention to suggest candi-
dates would renew that struggle on the
floor. But he said mo"
Il believe the functions Of the state
convention will be confined to the
drafting Of a platform and the selec-
ton of the fifteen delegates al large TO
/ the constitutional convention said
/ Mr. Hedges last night. 81 have not
changed my opinion that II would have
been wiser had the meeting at the
Waldorf in May voted to hold the con.
vention that should recommend a full
set Of nominees TO the enrolled voters,
as that would have intensified interest
in the convention and would have made
the enrolled voter more potential in
expressing his opinion.
an the call for the convention, the
state committee has expressed It's
opinion that candidates should not be
named. There has been frequent dis
cussion among Republicans, l believe
with relative unanimity Of opinion, that
this Is the best course TO pursue, al
things considered. As far as I an
concerned, ] am entirely satisfied Il
follow the majority opinion in tina
view"
When District Attorney Whitman
was asked if he had read the speech
of Mr.. Hinman at the Clinton County
convention Tuesday night, he replied'
81 have no comment TO make except
to repeat my question to Mr.. Hinman'
will you support the Republican nomi
nee chosen at the primaries?
"If Mr.. Hinman will not support such
Republican nominee he has not claim
10 be called a Republican. The position
Mr.. Human has taken-that he vii
support the Republican nominee only
in case he himself is chosen, and tina
he will fight that nominee in case j
is any one else-is neither fair play
nor loyal Republicanism."
There is no truth whatever in the re
port that Mr. Whitman will not attend
the convention at Saratoga" said Fred
erick c. Tanner. his campaign manager
"He will ge as a delegate elected from
his district, as hundreds Of other dele
gates have been elected, and do hi
share in formulating the policies Of his
party"
