WORRIED BY
CANDIDACY OF
GOV. GATES
Strength for Governor Shown at
Biz Gathering
He IS NOT YET IN The FIELD
Meeting at Montpelier indicated That
Governor Fully Maintains His
Popularity.

One of the rather unexpected de-
velopments OF the Greater Vermont as
sCciation at Montpelier this week was
that Governor Gates is leading in the
senatorial race if the sentiment of the
thousand or so delegates present is a
correct guide.
Governor Gates has not yet an
nounced his candidacy for the senate,
but those who were at Montpelier got
the impression that ho will be in the
race and the man against whom Page
and Fletcher will have to make their
fight rather than against each other.
1t seems that Senator Page has al
ready sensed this new situation and is
prompt to act. The following Mont
pelier dispatch to the Rutland Her
aid shows the drift.
Montpelier July 13-The latest pro-
duct of Senator Pages letter-writing
plant is directed at Gov. Gates and his
candidacy for the senatorship. 1t is
form letter multigraphed and signed
by fac-simile, printed from cut,
and does not show the senator's usual
careful attention to details.
Instead Of the warm, personal let
ter, each separately typewriter and
signed personally, addressed and sub
titled, My Dear John--or Jones-or
Smith, the letter is of the MY Dear
Sir" type and indicates that the SEN
ator is finding it necessary to dele
gate some of the work of his letter
writing. There are also occasional
mistakes in names and personalities.
The important fact is that Senator
Page. after turning all his heavy artii
lery on former Gov. Allen NJ. Fletcher,
now realizes that he is face to face
with the potential candidacy of Gov.
| Gates. At least he says that from
time to time letters drift into me in
dicating that Gov. Gates may possibly
| enter the senatorial contest"
That this impression is correct is
indicated by the announcement, made
here during the Greater Vermont meet
ing, that the governor would announce
himself candidate early next week.
Senator Page, therefore, anticipates
that result by his latest form letter,
dated yesterday in Washington.
After calling attention to the dan
ger of sending new and inexper-
fenced man to Washington in these
tioublous times, Senator Pages let
ter says.
What | now especially desire is
your opinion as to public sentiment
touching Gov. Gates possible candi,
dacy. viii he enter the race, and il
he does do you believe he will be a
formidable candidate against me?'
The letter concludes by announcing
that the senator is sticking close tc
his job in Washington and must there
fore rely on his friends for informa
tion regarding the political situation
This is, notwithstanding the fact that
on July II, the date of the letter. h,
was a guest at the Greater Vermont
dinner in this city.

SHARK HUNTERS IN
/ SEARCH F0P.R!|G'
MANEATERS '' .
Concerted Effort All Along the New
Jersey Shore
BOYS BODY IS RECOVERED
All Bathing Has Been Stopped Except
at Places Where Wire Nets Are
Stretched.

New York, July 14-Matawan Creek
the little stream i'll which two swim
mers were killed by shark and anoth-
er severely bitten on Wednesday, was
alive with sharks yesterday, according
to the scores of men who went out to
hunt them with rifles, shotguns, boat
hooks, harpoons, pixies, and rynamite
Many fired from the banks or from
motor boats at what they thought were
sharks. Dozens were sure they had
seen one shark or more. There was
wellcorroborated testimony indicating
that there were at least four in the
stream within two miles of where it
enters Raritan Bay. A net of chicken
wire has been strung across just above
Wycoff's Dock at Matawan, where
Stanley Fisher and Lester Stilwell
were killed on Wednesday, and a stout
fish net has been placed at trolley
bridge a mile below to hold the sharks
in the creek until they be shot or har-
pooned.
Several sharks were caught by fish
ers along the New Jersey and Long
Island coasts yesterday and cut up, but
no evidence was found that any of
them had attacked bathers, four of
whom have been killed and fifth
manned by sharks within two weeks
Bathing has come almost to stop
along the Jersey coast, especially near
points wher the man-eaters have made
attacks and new sport combined
with a public service, the hunting OF
sharks, has sprung up.
Although shark was reported ir
Sheepshead Bay yesterday, and Others
were caught off Long Island, bathing
went on as usual at Coney Island
Brighton Beach, Long Beach, and 9th
er island resorts.
