over his original plurality.

have to have twentyfou ballots

X-ray examination will be made to-
day at st. Mary's Hospital. Passaic,
to determine If his neck Is broken
He is strapped to a cot SO that he
cannot make the slightest movement.
Lux played fullback in the game.
Although not rough, the game was
hard fought and the score stood Il to
1s In favor of the Nutley team, with
two and a half minutes to play A
quarterback passed the ball to Lux
and the fullback plunged in with all
his force at the Paterson. line
He worked his way through for a
gain of about fifteen yards, when he
was tackled and fell, landing on his
head When the other players got up
to resume the game Lux lay on the
ground moaning.

father hurried to him, as did Dr. A.

scious, the youth was hurried to ST.
Mary's Hospital
There DR.. Henry c. Reynolds was
called in, and after a consultation it
was said one of the bones in the neck

injury Is cannot be discovered until
an x-ray photo is taken. Lux says
he feels no pain, but that his neck
and shoulders are numb.
The greatest precaution was taken
to prevent him from moving and pos
sibly enlarging the fracture.
The game was called off. The in

was considered a star player and lived
up to his reputation in the game yes

the announcement today that Mr..
Ford had purchased a large tract of
meadow land in the vicinity of this
city for the erection of a new plant.

erty was not made known, but il is
said that it is part of the Hackensack
meadow adjacent to the Newark
meadow development known as Port
Newark Terminal. Just when work
of erecting a plant viii begin is not
known. Ii means, however. that with
Ford leading the way, other auto
mobile manufacturing plants may
locate here.
When seen in New York today con-
cerning the purchase, Mr.. Ford seem-
ed surprised that news of it had be-
come known. He wonld not say
of automobiles. but it is understood
that the new Ford tractor, principal
ly to be used for propelling farm
machinery, will be manufactured
here.
Mr.. Ford held conference with
The agents of tho property late yes
terday afternoon after discussion
of his peace expedition. In regard to
his purchase, he said:
1T is quite true that l have bought
~the property and am going to build
b plant, but / don't care to have any
thing printed about this just now
When told that his purchase of the
property was known generally he
looked displeased and said that he
would not talk about the matter fur
ther.
It has been generally understood
in this city for some time that Mr.
Ford was considering the advisability
of purchasing land on the meadows
for the establishment of an Eastern
plant and about two months ago 8

to look the ground over. The EN-

great faith in the future of Newark
and believes that his own concern
win enjoy a great export trade. espe-
cialIy after the close of the European
war. So many automobiles have been
used by the armies now engaged in
the great conflict that thousands OF
orders aresexpected as soon as normal
conditions are resumed in Europe.

FOG HAMPERED
LOCAL TRAFFIC
Heavy Mist Came as Surprise
After Ideal Thanksgiving
Weather.

One of the worst fogs in this sec
ton in years prevailed early today
and hampered travel. Only few
accidents were reported and they were
trivial.
The fog was big surprise to the
residents hereabouts, who yesterday
had enjoyed ideal Thanksgiving
weather. The mist blew in from the
ocean before daybreak and increased
in intensity until at o'clock 1t was
almost impossible to see twenty feet
ahead.
The fog was accompanied by a
chill that left white frost ON ex-
posed spots. When the drivers OF
trucks got under way for their daily
toll the going for horses was pre-
carious at times.
Trolley cars were forced TO slow
down. and as a result the general
schedules were disarranged. The sur
got into action about o'clock and
soon the fog was dissolved.

Striking teamsters are holding a
meeting today to act upon the request
of the committee from the Express
mems Association that committee
made up of two drivers from each
stable be appointed by the union to

ions said came from a party of men
who disappeared in the fog.
Cannon was taken to the City Hos
pital and after treatment went to

other John McCambley, $40 CortlandI

descriptions of the men they saw in
the crowd.
Smith said that three women were
hit by stones and that he helped one
of them TO her home, but his story

such victims was found by the police.

The application will probably be
made to Vice. Chancellor Howell By

the receivership should not be per-

The receivership application is one
of the legal formalities consequent to
the financial embarrassment of Mr..

will be followed in the case of T. P.
Howell & Co. and J. H. Halsey &
Smith, leather manufacturing firms
in which Mr.. Smith had a controlling
interest.
The schedule of Mr.. Smiths assets
was not ready for filing with the sur

late today or tomorrow morning,
however. Aside from the receiver
ship for the publishing company, no
announcement is yet forthcoming as
to the probable disposition of the
leather companies in which Mr.. Smith
was interested.
The weeks business of the Federal
Trust Company will unquestionabiy
show a record comparing well with
the records of the past for a similar
period. In fact, the business is show
