LANE ASKS WARE IF HE
WANTS TO BE MAYOR
Congressman Refuses to Tell
City Chairman If He Intends
to Be Candidate.

Informal" discussions held by the Re-
publican Organization leaders at Atlantic
City over the weekend left them still
deadlocked on the Mayoralty question, and
no farther away from a bitter fight be-
tween the Wares and MclSichol in this
years campaign than they were few
days ago.
The Wares did not attend the confabs
at the shore and their absence added to
tho aouteness OF the situation. They also
refused 1atly to give any intimatiOn ot
their intentions or plans for the cam
raign.
City Chairman David H. Lane and Sem
ator McNichol. after the informal con-
ferences, expressed their confidence that
harmony would prevail ultimately.
Senator Penrose, Senator McNichol and
Lane were among those who attended the
confab. Ex-Reglster of Wills David
Martin Joined the Wares in staring away.
Following the conference, Lane went to
see Congressman Ware. He, asked him
pointblank whether he intended to be o
candidate for Mayor or not.
Congressman Ware. however, refused to
declare himself, said Mr.. Lane after
ward.
The refusal of Ware to answer this di-
rect question propounded by other Organ
ization leaders did not clear the atmos-
phere any, and Lane and Senator Nc
Nichol at once told how certain they are
harmony would finally prevail.
'T am hopeful of an agreement upon a
candidate for Mayor who will be assured
of the united support of all elements in
the Republican Organization" said Lane

Mr.. Lane said he personally has no
choice that he will urge He said that
10 of the 50 men who have been suggested
are acceptable to him. The only man he
would oppose, he added. would be a ''hy-
phenated Republican"
Senator McNichol denied that there is
any friction in the Republican machine.
When the time comes to name a candl-
date for Mayor, there win be no factional
contest within the Republican Organlza-

ENGLISH PAPER INSISTS

LONDON, July L.
That abandonment by the United States
of its demands on Germany would cause
q break in the friendship between Eng
land and America Is the declaration made
by the Evening Standard in an editorial
Today Other papers reiterate their caus-
tic comment upon the German reply to
President Wilson's note declaring II as
f'impudent' and the concessions It offers
as "ldiotic."
The impression In British Official circles
is that the United States will carry no
more diplomatic correspondence with Ger
many over the submarine warfare but
will stand by its demands and break of
relations II the Germans commit any act
which the Washington Government re-
CARDS as violating them.
In its editorial conveying a yelled threat
70 America the Evening Standard says:
THE German note Is too crude even 70
provoke disgust. Assurances are given
after a fashion. but their acceptance
would make America the vassal OF Ger
many and politically her aceomplice in
murder.
President Wilson. having first de-
naanded security for Americans as their
legal right, cannot accept 1t as concession
from the Germans In partial MITIGATION
without eating his own words. Should
America now abandon her legal stand
point the cordiality OF Anglo-American
relations would be compromised for a
century
The Pail Mall Gazette says:
THE note is the most impudent doeu-
gment ever forwarded by one great Power
20 another. n the argument Is impudent
and unconyincing the German offer can
only be described as idiotic Germany
now makes plain her intention OF sinking
all vessels save those to which she otfers

. The Westminster Gazette says:
( TO the German people the note Is
= triumphant Yindication of the subma-
Pine commander. There Is no argument
possible with a Government which enters
this plea, or with a people which en-
Enthusiastically supports H. II IS ali a

fore the fact in Germanys crimes. or
Americans will continue 10 be murdered

NEW YORK, July IA strike which
may suspend the garmsnt-making indus
try In New York city began here today
when 10000 trousersmakers were called
out by the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers of America.
More than 200 shops were closed by the
strike and the trouble may grow until
10000 workers are involved.
Improvement OF working conditions is
demanded. Sydney Hillman president OF
the union said:
"Cut-throat competition has cut the
workers wages down so far that a strike
was our only choice. In the settlement
OF the trouble, in 1918, we got many
promises, but since then the manufac-
turers have played one contracting tailor
against another until the men, who made
$40 week two years ago. make only $40
or $l2 now"
The Manufacturers Association refused
70 grant the strikers demands, saving
they would night to the last ditch.
