NEWARK SEEMS
SURE TO GET BIC
ATHLETIC MEET
$4,000 Appropriation for Ma
tional Amateur Champion
ships Here Next Year.

Arrangements for the athletic meet
which is to be a feature of the cele-
bration of Newark's 250th anniver-
sary next year have been practically
completed. II was announced today
that the proposed appropriation of a
fund of $4,000 to cover the cost of
the meet has been indorsed by the
heads of the committee in charge of
the event 1t was also announced
that the committee Is in accord with
the idea of holding the meet under
the rules of the Amateur Athletic
Union.
The announcement of the 1000
appropriation clears away the last
objection that stood in the way of
holding the Amateur Athletic Union
here in conjunction
with the local celebration.
This city was favored for the hold
ing of next years meet by the dele
gates who were at the meet in San
Francisco several weeks ago, provid-
ed. of course, that guarantee was
given that the financial end of the
meet would be taken care of.
1t is likely that delegates of the
A. A. u. will be polled by a mail
vote, and this city selected as the
place for holding the championships
in 1915.
A. conference was held this after
noon, at which were present former
Governor Franklin Murphy, Fred S.
Ruben, secretary or the A. A. u;
Wilson Vance, secretary Of the Com
mittee of One Hundred H. Yelling
ton Wack and Edward j. O'Brien,
chairman of the committee on ath-
letics. 1t was then decided that the
A. A. u. plan for holding the cham
pionships in this city be adopted.
The meet will be held at Weequahic
Park during the last part of August
and will extend over period of two
weeks. One of the features will be a
fifteen mile Marathon run.
Mr.. Ruben promised that II the
meet was held in Newark all of the
Pacific coast stars who captured most
of the events at the San Francisco
meet would take part in the events.
The announcement of the $4,000 ap-
was made by former Gov
ernor Franklin Murphy, chairman of
the Committee of One Hundred, act
ing for the executive and financial
committee Of the general committee.

RESPER|AN MEN
BLAME ATTACK
ON SUBMARINE.
Declare in Affidavit Fragments
of Steel on Deck Prove
Their Contention.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-Coenmand-
ing officers of the sunken liner Hes.
perian in a joint affidavit forwarded
to the state department today de-
clared that from the fragments or
steel which fell on the deck it was
''indubitably' shown that the ship
was struck by a torpedo.
Commander Main and the first and
second officers of the Hesperlan made
the affidavit, which was cabled by
American Consul Frost. at Queens
town. They asserted that the torpedo.
struck the ship about eight feet below
the water line and that the steel frag
ments flew about the deck with large
quantities of water. They also de-
clared that there was strong odor
of high explosive and that the Hes
perian had a 'six-inch gun" on board
which had been painted a service
gray and would not have been con-
spicuous even at short range and
probably would not have been OBJ.

ENTITLED TO A
BLANK BALLOT
City Clerk Archibald Also
Rules Party Will Have
Ballot Box.
OBLIGED TO ACT AS
RESULT OF NOTICES
GiIIen and Denny Petitions TO
Be Filed for Board of
Works.

The Progressives will have a ballot
box and official ballots in blank at the
primary election on Tuesday, Septem-
Der 2S. This announcement was made
today by City Clerk Alexander Arch
ibald. 1t apparently settles the con-
troversy as TO whether the Progress
sives were entitled to a ballot box and
ballots at the primary election. The
Progressives did not file petitions of
candidates. for nomination last Fri
day. the final day for fling of
petitions for county offices.
Mr.. Archibald said. II was notified
some time ago by the county clerk
that the Progressive party was an
official party. | also received notifi-
cation from Walter F. Simpson, sec
retary of the Progressive County
Committee. that the Progressive
party would have candidates Tor
trict in the city.
Nothing Else to Do.
"ln view of these facts there is
nothing for me to do only furnish the
box and the ballots at the primary
election"
The announcement by Walter F..
y
ty Progressive Committee, that petit
tions in behalf of Charles P. Gillen
and George M. Denny for the nomina-
tions for the Board of Public Works
on the Progressive ticket would be
filed tomorrow, also served to clear
up the atmosphere around Progressive
headquarters today
The decision of Mr.. Archibald VIII
no doubt be accepted as a precedent
that will be followed by the other
municipal clerks in Essex.
'tAll the talk" said Mr.. Simpson,
that we We're not entitled to box
at the primary election because we
did not file a list of candidates for
State and county offices was all bosh.
81 sent out notices to all municipal
clerks in Essex county in July that
we would have candidates for county
committee in every district, and even
if we don't have candidates in every
! district, under the law the clerk must
| furnish ballots in blank in which the
name of the candidates can be written
or a poster used"
Can you give the reason why the
/ Progressives did not file a county
ticket?" was asked Mr. Simpson.
81 can, but 1 won't" was his reply.
IT prefer that you get that informa-
ton from some other source.
81 understand that Howard S.
Dodds Is going to give out a state
ment later in the week, in which the
reason will be set forth, and ! think
that statement will cover our POSI-
tion in the matter

RAYMOND TELLS
WHY He DID NOT
REVIEW PARADE:
Says He Remained at Resi-
dence Because Committee Did
Not Send an invitation,
BoNNEL ASSERTS MAYOR
WAS SENT AN INVITATION
Grand Marshal of Demonstra-
tlon Says He Himself Wrote
the Letter.

Mayor Thomas L. Raymond today
issued statement telling why he did
not review the Labor Day parade
yesterday. He says that no invita-
ton was given him, and the criticism
Following his non-appearance was un-
just.
When the parade went by the City
Hall yesterday all eyes were turned
to see the mayor He was not there
The Horseshoers' Union had a fancy
souvenir horseshoe for the mayor.
They gave it to policeman. Those
who sought Mayor Raymond were
unsuccessful in their search. The
mayor now says that he spent the
morning at his home, in Kinney
street.
Following is the statement that
Mayor Raymond gave to the press
today:
II have had my attention called to
an article in a morning paper criti-
cising me for not being present to re-
view the Labor Day parade yester-
day, but inasmuch as [ had received
no invitation or intimation that my
presence was desired, or that it was
customary for the mayor to be pres
ent without invitation, although | re-
mained at my residence in case my
presence should be desired at the
City Hall. cannot feel but that
the criticism is rather unjust.
II have invariably received invita-
tions to review the other parades and
while / am not criticis;ng any one for
not sending me one in this instance,
feel that I should equally be free of
criticism in the matter
"It would have afforded me great
pleasure to review the parade had |
known my presence was desired"
Nathaniel Bonnel, grand marshal
of the Labor Day parade, said today
thatihe himself had written the letter
inviting Mayor Raymond to review
the parade yesterday. He says he
addressed the invitation to the
mayors office at the City Hall.
ST do not know just what day that
I sent the invitation" said Mr.. Bon
mel but I wrote the invitation and
mailed it to the mayor myself"
1.-THE mayor denies that he ever re-
ceived RSftinvitation," was told Mr.
Bonnel.
THAT may be so" replied Mr.. Bon
mel "but nevertheless the invitation
was sent and It was addressed to his
office in the city hall.
What they did with 1t there I don't
know, but it was sent just the same" ;"
Badges Also.
Henry +. Hilfers, one Of the COM
mittee of the Essex Trades Council, in
charge of the demonstration, stated
that one of the committee was armed
with several beautiful badges with
which to decorate Mayor Raymond
and any other of the prominent city
officials that might review the pro.
cession.
The badges were never used by the
committeeman who was in charge of
them.

WOMAN SENATOR
SUESJ. v. Cliff,
JERSEY EDITOR
Helen Ring Robinson Seeks
$4,000 Damages From Sum-
NIT Politician.

Helen Ring Robinson, of Colorado.
who has the distinction of being the
only woman senator in the United
States, has, through Arthur 7. Van
derbilt, of this city, instituted a suit
for libel against John w. Cliff, owner
of the Summit Herald.
Senator Robinson asks for damages
at $4,000. In her bill of complaint she
bases her allegations on a letter which
appeared in the Summit Herald, de-
caring that she had introduced the
Maui Watts bill, which permitted rae
ing in Colorado.
1t is alleged by Senator Robinson
that rather than promote such legisla-
tion she has devoted her time as
legislator, to measures of political and
social reform. The letter on which
the suit is based was written, 1t is
claimed, by Barrett L. Crandall, OF
Newark. Helen Ring Robinson has
been in this City on several occasions
as a lecturer advocating woman suf-
frage. When the letter appeared in
the Summit Herald, local suffraglsts
at once communicated with Senator
Robinson.
Senator Robinson then authorized
Counselor Vanderbilt to bring suit,
since she declares in the official
papers filed that she was not respon-
sible for vicious and immoral legis-
lation.
In starting suit, Mr.. Vanderbilt
sets forth that his client has been
held in high esteem by many persons
in New Jersey, and therefore her
reputation and integrity have been at
tackled. The letter appeared in the
Summit Herald, it is claimed, on
August 6. The same COMMUNICATION
also appeared in another publication,
but the name was not signed.
A Supreme Court order has been is
sued and the return date is set down
for September "a. Meanwhile, Senator
Robinson has announced through the
Women's Political Union of New Jer-
sey that she will come to this State
and will arrive here on September 13.

WILSON BARS
ENDORSEMENT
BY JERSEYMEN
Declines to Have Home State
Democrats Take Lead Re-
garding denomination.

WASHINGTON. Sept. president
Wilson has declined to allow the
Democrats in New Jersey, his home
State, to indorse him for another
term, because he feels 1t might seem
as though he was taking advantage
of the international situation to gain
some personal advantage.
A letter from Secretary Tumulty
to Sheriff Kinkead, of the Hudson
County Democratic Committee, made
public at the White House today,
expresses that view at some length.
ut was my understanding when
we discussed this matter some weeks
ago." said Tumulty's letter. that
the meeting you had in mind was
merely a meeting of the Hudson
County Democratic Committee, for
which you were anxious to procure
the services of Senator Lewis, Of
Illinois, as the speaker.
"I had a talk with the President
about this matter and he deeply ap-
preciates the generosity of the sug-
| gestion, but New Jersey is his own
State, the men who would act in this
matter are his own personal friends,
and he feels that Ii might seem as
! If he were taking advantage of the
extraordinary situation now existing
to gain some personal advantage
through such an expression of conf
dence by them.
LAS I said in my letter to State
Chairman Grosscup a year ago, this
would be inconsistent with his whole
thought and spirit. and he shrinks
from 1t as from something that would
embarrass him rather than help
him.
"I feel confident that you will un-
derstand the spirit In which he says
this. and that In urging the Demo-
Gratis of Hudson county not to do
this. he is not evading in the least
his deep appreciation. or course, If
your meeting has no connection with
an Endorsement of the president and
is one to be held under the auspices
of the Democratic county committee
and shall be participated In by all
factions In Hudson county, | will
gladly aid you In procuring as a
speaker the services of either Sena-
tor James or Senator Lewis.
Sincerely yours,
JOSEPH P. TUMULTY,
Secretary to the President"

Russia's Capital
in Panic at RulnOr
of Riga's Capture
Great Excitement Prevailed at
Report Germans Were Ad-
vancing on Petrograd.
Rr the Associated Press.

BERLIN, Sept. 7 fby wireless to
Sayville, n. Y.).-The Overseas News
Agency says that panic was caused
in Petrograd yesterday by runors
that the Russian Baltic port of Riga
had been captured.
THE Lokal Anzeiger published pr1-
vate kilograms from Stockholm, says
the news agency, "stating that the
Russian capital was thrown into con-
fusion by reports that the positions
on the Dvina line had been captured,
that Russian armies had been de-
stroyed, that Riga had been taken
and that the German advance upon
fine capital would be no longer ham
nered. Immense crowds gathered in
front of the newspaper offices. There
was great excitement and many ar
rests were made.
Toward evening the newspapers
published extra editions containing
official denlals of these rumors and
saving that the Russian defensive
nositions we're still intact. However.
the spread of panic at the capital and
reports of Emperor Nicholas's trip
70 the front are only a pretense to
veil the removal of the emperot's
residence to the interior"

DUMbA HASTENS
TO SEE LANSING
ON ARMS LETTER
VIII Explain His Position on
Munition PIants-More Talk
of Dismissal.

NEW YORK. Sept, 7.--Dr. Con-
stantin T. Dumba, Austro- Hungarian
ambassador, left for Washington this
morning, after having spent the
night at hotel here.
The ambassador declined to make
any statement regarding his reported
efforts to tie up munitions plants at
Bethlehem, Pa; Pittsburg and other
places, saying he was going to Wash
ington to lay his side of the case
before Secretary of State Lansing.
and would have nothing further to
make public until after his meeting
with Mr. Lansing.
WASHINGTON, Sept Upon a
diplomatic definition and application
of the term gross improperly"
hinges the Washington administra-
tion's attitude toward Austrian Am
bassador Dumbas possible recall.
This was indicated today by an off,
cial high in diplomatic councils.
President Wilson will be the judge.
Ambassador Dumba was due here
today from his Massachusetts sum-
mer home to explain personally to
Secretary Lansing his action in sug-
gesting to his foreign office that Aus
trians employed in American steel
and war munitions plants be called
out. He was understood to bring a
copy of the letter found among docu-
ments taken from James +. j. Archi-
bald, the American correspondent de-
tained recently at London, TO Aus
trian Chancellor Burian, suggesting
the strike movement.
That DIR. Dumba merely suggested,
and did not unqualifiedly recommend,
the Austrian strike was pointed out
today in official quarters, This being
the case, it was generally believed
the administration would take the
position that, while in bad taste, there
was no such gross breach of conduct
by Dumba as to warrant a request
for his recall.
State department legal experts were
searching today for some precedent
bearing upon Dumbas conduct.
In any event, 1t was deemed likely
the ambassador would be plainly and
emphatically told that his suggestion
for a general Austrian strike in Amer
lean war supply plants was displeas-
ing to this government.

Berlin Announces
Submarines Loss;
Had Sunk Cruiser
BY the Associated Press.

~ thO EAohoNAhAtu AHt5bs
BERLIN. Sept. I, via London 1:09
p. m.-The admiralty announced to-
day that the German submarine U-27
sank a small British cruiser several
" eeks ago. The U-27 has not been
heard from since August 10, the ad-
miralty also says. and probably Is
lost.
The announcement follows:
According to a report of one of our
submarines, it met the U-27 on the
high seas after the latter, about
August 10. had sunk a small British
cruiser of an old type west of the
Hebrides Islands toff the coast of
Scotland). The U-27 has not since
returned. and must be regarded as
lost"
The submarine U-27 had not figured
conspicuously in the records of Ger
man naval operations. She was built
in 1928, at the same time as the
U-19, these craft displacing $40 tons,
and was one of the speediest of the
u boats constructed up to 1914, being
capable of making seventeen knots
above water and twelve knots when
submerged. She was equipped with
th' ee torpedo tubes. Her complement
is not shown in recent naval lists.

The announcement that the czar
will head the Russian armies means
that the Grand Duke Nicholas, who
is cousin of the emperor, has
been supplanted in the field 1t
probably also will be accepted gen.
orally as meaning that Russia feels
she has been humiliated by constant
defeats at the hands of the AustTo-
German armies
Since the outbreak of the war the
Grand Duke has been in command
Of the armies of Russia In this ca
pacity he has achieved fame, and
military critics, not only of Russia,
but of other nations, have rated him
as one of the ablest generals of the
warning nations. Although the grand
dukes armies have suffered a long
series of reverses since the beginning
of the great Austro- German offensive
movement in May, their leader has
been credited with conspicuous
strategic successes during this period,
as well as in the earlier part of the
war; when he was leading his armies
forward VIGOROUSLY.
His main accomplishments were the
extrication of the bulk OF his forces
from the Austro- German enveloping
movements in Galicia, and later in
Russian Poland, when he again drew
out his armies, this time from the
dangerous Warsaw salient.
During the last few weeks there
has been principally the inadequate
duct of the war by the Russian au-
thorities. The minister of war, Gen
eral SoukhomIinoff, resigned. and the
formation of a coalition government
has been under discussion. The
source IF dissatisfaction, however,
ha sheen principally the inadequate
supply of munitions of war; and so
far as the cable dispatches from Rus
sia have shown, there has been no
criticism of the grand duke in this
connection.
