So Says Gardner, Who AS
serts Secretary Lacks
the Capacity.
REVEALS POOR TARGET
PRACTICE BY SHIPS
Thinks Range Will Be
Shortened to Make
Better Showing.

Hallowell, Me-, Aug. 29.-Congress-
man Gardner, speaking here tonight,
declared that "a vote for Wilson is a
vote for Daniels" The Congressman
said that in the recent division target
practice in Cuban waters the battleship
Nebraska fired eighty-three shots, and
the battleship Michigan fred forty-two
shots, without either ship hitting the
target a single time.
Mr. Gardner offered TO contribute
$500 TO any charity which Secretary
Daniels might name if that official
could deny the correctness of the
scores attributed by the Congressman
to the battleships Michigan and Ne
braska. He also expressed an opinion
that the target practice this fall might
show IS per cent of hits, but said that
the range would be about mile, in
stead of from seven TO nine miles,
which was the range in this years
spring practice.
Daniels's "Victrolas."
at isn't much good voting to build
a big navy" said the Congressman, "if
you are going to have a Secretary of
the Navy who hasn't the executive abil-
ity to push the ship building pro-
gramme to completion. You can't ex-
pect our navy to be properly run If
you have Secretary who elbows out
the trained organization of his prede-
cessor to make room for his own
coterie of favorite officers. No one
knows better than | that many of the
navy officers in the department at
Washington are splendidly equipped
for their positions and admirable Off
Gals in every way. In that category |
place Captain C. p. Plunkett, director
of target practice, Notwithstanding the
fact that he is quoted by Secretary
Daniels as severely condemning my ex-
posure of the target practice scores.
Unfortunately, alongside of good ad-
ministrators like Captain Plunkett, the
Secretary has surrounded himself with
a sort of kitchen cabinet, known TO
the navy officers outside of Washing
ton as the Victrolas, because of their
alscrity in catching the tone of their
masters voice. II you are interested
in the navy Of your country, never
forget that a vote for Wilson is a
vote for Daniels.
"The Secretary does not deny that in
both of the last two years in the middle
Of the European war he has actually
recommended to Congress that we
should Gu. in two the building pro-
gramme recommended by the general
board of the navy. He defends his con-
duct by the claims that in times of pro-
found peace Republican Secretaries of
the Navy have done the same or worse
than he. That fact | deny. Even If it
whole Who'll world is abIsze II Is no defence
of the Daniels policy of 'dawdle. dsw-
die, dawdle' to say that Republican
Secretaries of the Navy were equally
remiss when the whole world was at
peace and likely to remain So"

Conference Is Called for
Friday to Elaborate
Campaign Plans.

Surface indications at the headquar-
tiers of the Democratic National Com

ports Of friction among President Will

Mr.. Mccormick, Henry Morgenthau and
other members of the committee.
Chairman Mccormick returned from
a conference with the President in
Washington yesterday. He declared
that Secretary McAdoo. Colonel House,
other close advisers Of the President
at Washington, and himself, were all
working in complete harmony.
1.-THE stories of friction in our ranks
must have been inspired by the en-
emy." said Mr.. Mccormick. "There is
no foundation for such reports. Any
one who visits headquarters here can
see we are all working in harmony. |
am glad to receive suggestions from
Secretary McAdoo, Colonel House or
any one else who is a friend of the
President and interested in his re-
election. There may be local factional
differences in some of the states, but
there is no discord among the men who
are running the campaign"
The chairman is planning more
speeches for President Wilson. He
announced yesterday the President
would speak in Lexington, KY, on
Labor Day; in st. Louis, before the
National Underwriters Association,
September 20, and in Baltimore Sep

the rural districts and especially among
the Republican farmers. He said he

they were going TO vote for Wilson.

WHITMAN WANTS
PRIMARY INQUIRY
Declares Authorities Must
Prosecute Fraudulent
Signers of Petition.

In commenting on the charges made
by John ]. O'Connell, chairman of the
Progressive County Committee, that
many fraudulent signatures had been
found on the Whitman primary petit
tions, Governor Charles S. Whitman,
who was in the city yesterday, said he
hoped if any such violations of the law
were found the offenders would be
prosecuted.
"If there have been any violations
of the criminal law" said the Governor,
ait is the duty of the District Attorney
of the county where the violations were
committed to proceed against the Of
tenders. In this case, as IN any other,
shall insist on the enforcement Of the
law by the proper authorities"
Governor Whitman had no comment

I issued by Judge Samuel Seabury, can
didate in the primaries FOX the Demo-
cratic and Progressive nominations for
Governor. The Governor IS expected
TO answer the Sesbury statement later.
Governor Whitman conferred yester-
day with Commissioner F. j. II. Kracke,
his campaign manager, and State
Chairman Frederick c. Tanner. Com
missioner Kracke declared the Whit
man campaign committee and the state
committee would work in perfect har-
mony.

OF Judge Seabury's statement in which
he says he will stand firmly against

Chairman Tanner. as this the same
Seabury who supported the theories of
Henry George, the single taxer; the
panaceas Of Thomas Watson and the
government ownership programme Of
the Independence League"
Judge Seabury's headquarters were
formally opened at the Breslin Hotel
yesterday, but no progress in campaign
plans was made because Of the serious
illness of the candidates father, the
Rev william j. Seabury, at his home
in Easthampton, Long Island. Judge
Seabury was with his father. The lat
ter is professor of ecclesiastical laws
at the General Theological Seminary in
this city.
Melvin G.. Palliser, the Seabury cam
paign manager, said he was confident
Judge Seabury would win over Gov
ernor Whitman in the Progressive pri-
maries. He declared more than 1000
members of the Progressive county
committees in the state had announced
themselves for the former jurist.

into conflict with a fully authorized
hotel chef-well, you caA take it from
Charles E. Hughes, the chef is hard to

This morning Mr.. and Mrs. Hughes
reached the dining room for breakfast
at GAS. Under the rules, any guest
who fails to claim breakfast by $3.50
must go forth and seek food n the

tial candidate and his wife met two

Mr.. Hughes raped vigorously, and

through a narrow opening in the door.
The waiter looked the pair over IN I'M

and proceeded to close the door
Mr.. Hughes thrust foot into the
opening, book agent fashion, and ar
gued. The waiter recognized the
guests, but insisted that the chef would
not permit any infringement OF his
rights, which involved refusal of food
after $3.50.
The mansger finally was summoned,
and that parsonage, too, admitted
fear of the chef. A compromise finally
was effected, however, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Hughes ate such leavings as could
be gathered.
Mr.. Hughes went later to Long Peak
Inn, 10000 feet above the sea level,
where he was the guest of Enos Mills,
the naturalist, at luncheon. After
luncheon he was urged to make the
4.000-foot climb above the timber line

looked up the perilous path and de-

ing the three acts ia enormous. Much
happens and some Of il is funny.
Three men were employed in writing
the farce, and il is hardly TO be ex-
pected that any one person can under
stand il all. The story is complicated
and gets more so as the evening wears
on. We must admit that we don't
know quite how il all came out, except
that Joe Santlcy married Kathleen Cliff
ford.
But for the all-night restaurants the
thing might never have happened. 1t
was at Macks, gay resort, that Peter
Cranky seized the wrong coat in max
ing hasty exit, and the fact that 1t
contained counterfeit money made him
all sorts of trouble.
1t takes the playwrights a good while
20 get their story wound up. once the
thing is adjusted, it speeds along fast
enough. Before stating our belief That
the play is only occasionally funny, II
is fair TO state that it seemed to amuse
the audience greatly. Possibly we are
farce stale, but we never did get much
enjoyment out of plays where char
acter upon making joke quickly shirts
position, as if he expected kick from
behind. Moreover, nobody in the cast
seemed to be having any fun. We mold
that the secret of farce success is that
the most harassed person in the play
shall be on winking terms with his au-
dience. Thus in the case OF Jimmy
Powers, of Somebody's Luggage, no
body ever feels any doubt that he is
having a jolly evening of it. whether ne
be seasick. inebriated or held by the
enemy. Maude Eburne, who played
slavey part in "a Pair Of Queens was
richly rewarded by laughter last night,
but we did not enjoy her performance.

perate hard work.
There was great deal of Miss
Eburne and she was not content TO get
her audience gradually. She rushed
them as soon as the curtain went up
Less aggressive in his comedy methods
and much more amusing was hugh
Cameron, who played Steve Haines, q
stupid detective. Cameron did not al
low you to know right away Just how
funny he was, and there was enjoyment
in discovering that fact for yourself.
Frank McGinn, in another police part,
furnished no little amusement. Ed
ward Abeles is not richly lowered with
opportunities, and Joseph Santley, who
used TO dance with Gaby, is too STACEY
for anything but musical comedy.

Defeat for Gubernatorial
Nomination Seems
Certain.
EX-SENATOR EDGE
LEADS AT PRESENT
Republican Chiefs Pick
Him for Governor and
Murphy for Senate.
From /, star Correspondent Of The Tribune

Trenton, N. j., Aug. eft lies fiat
on a brush,' is the advertising slogan
Of a certain dental cream manufact-
ured by Austen Colgate, one of the
three candidates for the Republican
nomination for Governor of New Jer-
sey. To all appearances, the candi-
dacy of Colgate has assumed the same
recumbent position.
Walter f. Edge, former Senator Of
Atlantic County, seems to have the
nomination pretty well sewed up. and
there are those who predict-and one
straw vote shows it--that George l..
Record will run second at the pri-
maries on September 26.
There are several things that are
contributing to the almost sure de-
feat Of Colgate. While his record is
clean, he has not been regular, and the
state organization is against him. He
also had the misfortune to lose his
campaign manager, Alfred N. Dali
rymple, of Essex, who was killed in an
automobile wreck.
Newton A. X. Buggy, Republican state
chairman, while taking no part In the
primary fight, said to-day that some
one would be doing Colgate favor il
they induced him to get out Of the
fight and save his money. Buggy, who
merely reflects the opinion of major,
ity of the state committee, expressed
this sentiment following a conference
of Republican leaders at Atlantic City
on Sunday and yesterday.
After a talk between Franklin Muir
phy. former Governor and candidate
for United States Senator; David Baird,
the South Jersey leader; Commodore
Louis Kuehnle, of Atlantic County, and
other leaders Of the strong Republican
bailiwicks, a deal was fixed up whereby
the state machine is TO support Murphy
for United States Senator and Edge
for Governor. Before leaving the city
Murphy. while refusing to admit that a
deal had been made, did not hesitate
to say he was pleased with the out
look"

"A Pair Of Queens" might have been
a straight flush from the vigor with
which it was played at the Longacre
Theatre last night. The new farce is
very violent. The action takes place in

the twenty-one counties. and asserts
he has a mortgage on the twenty-hrst.
This opinion Is echoed pretty much by
Baird, who said to-day that Edge would
have eighteen Of the counties, with two
in doubt.
IL is certain that the Democrats
would rather see Edge win than Col
gate. Geographically the Atlantic City
Senator is not a good candidate. The
Democrats figure il Colgate we're nomi-
mated he would surely carry Essex
County at the general election. Certain
IL is that ha would also command a
large vote in Hudson County where he
has a model plant, employing $500 men
and everyone of them satisfied. The
Democrats figure that IL Edge is nomi-
mated they will carry Essex and Hud-
son by majorities large enough to over
come the Edge lead in South Jersey.

forest in quiet bend of the river A
stout plank was laid as a gangway
from the bow to the bank and the
crew worked until nightfall cutting
and piling firewood for the boats fur
mace. Then they came on deck for
their evening meal. The three white
men were already at dinner when a
fearful yell from the natives brought
them out of the cabin TO see a large
elephant viciously attacking the wood
pile. The blacks went ashore With
firebrands snatched out Of the cook
stove to drive the monster away But
he paid no attention to them until he
had demolished the woodpile, when he
whipped one man with his trunk heels

SACKING A THEATER.
What New Workers In 1865 Did For an

a theater In New York from the Ga
zette of that city of May 3, 1865:
"The play advertised to he acted last
Monday evening having given otfense
to sundry and divers inhabitants Of
this city, who thought 1t highly in
proper that such entertainment should
be exhibited at this time of public dis
tress, when great numbers Of poor peo
pie can scarce find means OF subsist
ance, whereby many persons might be
tempted to neglect their business and
squander that money which is neces
sary to the payment Of their debts and
the support of their families. a rumor
was spread about the town that if the
play went on the audience would meet
with some disturbance from the multi
tude
This prevented the greatest part of
those who intended to have been there
from going. However, many people
came, and the play was begun. but
soon interrupted by the multitude who
burst open the doors and entered with
