DU POINT PLANTS
WAY MAKE DYES
Powder Men Considering
Move to Build Up Big
Color Industry Here.

The du Pont de Nemours Powder
Companv. the largest manufacturer OF
high explosives in the country, has be-
come interested in the dyestuf s'tua-
ton and, according to information
given out Yesterday at the Custom
House. is considering til taking up OF
the making of dyestuf on large scale
with the view Of becoming the leading
manufacturer here.
DR.. A. D. Chambers. chief chemist OF
the du Pont company, came here from
Wilmington. Del, last Tuesday, and
from 3 O'Clock yesterday afternoon un-
I'll almost midnight conferred with DR..
Thomas II. Norton, who is in New York
conducting an investigation in behalf
of the Department of Commerce into
the dyestuff situation. Dr. Norton hopes
to interest American ingenuity and en-
terprse TO upbuild here a big, perma-
nent color industry, Of which the Unit
ed States is in great need owing 20 the
cutting off Of the supply from Ger
many.
While Or. Norton refused yesterday
TO make known the result of his inter
view with DR.. Chambers, it was said
the latter's mission TO the Custom
House was to talk over the situation
in detail, especially as 70 what assist
ance the government would give in
establishing this industry on firm
basis here.
Il was further said the du Pont de
>Nemours Powder Company, because Of
its large organization and extensive
capital, is in a position 10 enter the
dyestuff industry on a large scale. The
powder company is now large user OF
benzol and toluol, both of which can be
readily used in the manufacture of dye
stuffs.
At present manufacturers of high
explosives have contracted for large
quantities of chemicals, including
benzol and toluol, for the making OF
ammunition for the countries now at
war, and by entering into the dye
stuffs industry these companies can,
without much difficulty. use these
chemicals in the development OF the
new industry.
American capital has been looking
to the government TO protect il either
by an increase Of customs duties. or
by the enactment Of an anti-dumping
law, which, after the war, would
check or prevent the dumping Of the
German surplus supply on the Amer
lean market TO the detriment Of the
concerns engaged in developing
home industry.
Dr. Norton yesterday conferred for
some time with Henry Wigglesworth,
vice-president. and DR.. Hesse. consult
ing chemist, of the General Chemical
Company.

defeat at the polls OF Judge Edward

Yesterday noon IL was with the idea
Of following out the wishes Of the
boss" on Sheriff. in spite Of their
own feelings. when the unexpected
adjournment until evening came to
give time for the arrangement OF the
judiciary fusion with the Republicans
il seemed to give the unreconcilable
leaders their chance TO make set
against Edwards
They returned to the hall, and one
after the other went up TO the desk
Of the "Chief" and expressed their
opposition to big Bill" Some Of
them threatened TO quit the committee

To beat Edwtrd the leaders concen-
tratcd on Assemblyman Alfred Z.
Smith. who was retired from considera-
tion ten days ago because Murphy said
the organization could not spare him
at Albany.
No Edwards Men There.
Murphy's district is the 18th, and by
the time the rollcall reached him it was
evident the leaders would not stand for
Edwards The first six districts led off
BY naming Smith as their choice; other
men we're named by some Of the lead
ers, but the elimination OF Edwards
was assured, and his name was not
mentioned by one leader in the meeting.
Among other suggestions made on the
rollcall for Sheriff were Frank l.
Bowling, minority leader Of the Board
of Aldermen Richard j. Delaney and
Representative Peter J. Dooling, and
NullDcI OF OlNlIlNl ltdutISs lHCluulHS
John J. Dietz, Of the 2ith John V. Cog
gey. Of the 18th, and James J. Hines,
of the 18th. Then Frank J. Goodwin,
Of the 7th, moved to make it unanimous
for Smith, and IT was done with :.
cheer. for the former Speaker Of the
Assembly, who halls from the I'd As
sombly District. is one of the most
popular men in Tammany Hall.
After the meeting Mr.. Murphy would
not talk for publication about the tick
ct, but told his friends that while he
had not changed his mind on Edwards
he was satisfied with Smith, and be-
lieyed he would be a strong candidate.
When it came to the selection of
candidate for District Attorney Tom
Foley brought up the name of Magis-
trate Joseph E. Corrigan, but about
two-thirds of the leaders were for
Judge Swami, and his selection was
made unanimous.
There was no opposition to the in
dorsement of Justice Finch, although
he, by his signature law. has done
more than any other man to break up
fraudulent voting. Mr. Murphy himself
moved the adoption on the judiciary
slate, and not voice was heard in
