GREECE MAY YET

Greek Government Official, in

Disagreement in New Cabi-
net Formed on March 8.
Special sbu United Press Wire.

Special sby United Press Wire,
London, March 19:-While Eng
land eyes were fixed on Italy today.
a statement from Athens indicated
that Greece may yet decide to join
the allies. An Official statement Civ
ell By the Greek government and
cabled here this noon denied there
had been any disagreement in the
new cabinet formed by M. Gounaris
on March 8. In addition it contained
this significant statement:
THE government continues to
study the external situation. 1t will
establish its policy on a solid and
sure basis that will enable it to OBJ
tain precise promises in the event
that Greece decides to abandon her
neutrality"
Premier Venizelos. outspokenly in
favor of war, rendered his resigna-
tion and a new cabinet was formed
at once. No report of dissention in
the Gounaris cabinet has been re-
ceived. 1t was assumed the new min
istry was thoroughly in accord with
the king in his desire for peace. That
the Greek government saw fit to deny
that any disagreements have occurred
aroused belief here that the new cab
met may not be so strongly in favor
OF neutrality as the Athens report in
dicated.

reports received at the state house

succeeded in having members of
their sex elected to the boards of

First Ordinance In January.
Conference With Mayor.

Upon being informed concerning
the attorneys latest report, then in
the hands of City Treasurer James
A. Rhodes, Alderman Hilker went
Immediately to Mayor Garretson for
conference this morning. Just what
course will next be pursued has not
been definitely determined, but it is
believed that City Attorney Andrew
J. Wight will be asked to prepare
complete ordinance for introduction,
probably at an adjourned meeting of
the council Monday night. 1t is like
ly that firm OF bond attorneys will
be asked to approve the new measure
before it is acted upon by the coun-
Gil, SO as to eliminate further expense
and delay.
The ordinance to be introduced
will probably be an amendment to
the present one. Mr.. Hilker contends
it Is strange that the attorneys
should want a certification from the
County Board of Elections, after they
had written on January and asked
for certified copies of election returns
as filed at the city clerks office. 1t is
the city clerk who sends notice of the
election here to the county board.
Mr.. Hilker conferred with John
Hanson this morning and was sur
prised to hear that it would be neces-
sary for the county board to have 4
special meeting to render certlf-
cate and that such a meeting would
cost SIS man, or $50 day.

Can't Pass In House.
According to Senator William e.
Ramsay and others, it is unlikely
that the measure can survive In the
house. 1t was passed in the senate
by margin of one vote and then only
after Senator Read had exerted
strenuous efforts to have senators
vote. Contrary to an understanding
which Mr.. Wight states he had with
Mr.. Read, the city did not get hear
ing from the senate judiciary COM
mittee. Mr.. Wight and probably
Mayor Garretson will head the Perth
Amboy delegation before the assem-
bly, committee on Tuesday. Several
of the aldermen here are not so GER
tain that the bill will not be passed
in the house, unless a sufficiently
strong campaign is waged against it.
The bill has been declared by state
and city officials to be Public Ser
vice measure. Aldermen, who pro-
fess to have studied it carefully, and
always also declare that the bill
would eliminate home rule to a large
