BRUMBAUGH SHUNS
POLITICS ON TRIP
Governor and Bride Proceed to
Hot Springs, Va, After
Stop at Capital

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-Governor
Brumbaugh and his bride spent the first
day of their wedding trip here. They
arrived late Saturday night and almost
Immediately their presence here became
known. The Governor seemed greatly
annoyed by the opportunities of visitors
who sought to discuss politics with him.
After dining in the public restaurant
of the Willard Hotel Saturday night, the
Governor and his bride sat in Peacock
Alley a short time, Early yesterday
morning they left Washington to con-
tinue their trip to Pinehurst, n. c.,
where President Wilson and his bride
spent their honeymoon.
The presence here of Governor Brum-
baugh revived the story that the Gov
ernor and Mayor Smith, of Philadelphia,
taking up the battle of the Wares against
Penrose, will lead a fight for Speaker
Amber for Auditor General, and If his
nomination is not acquiesced in by the
Penrose faction, the Republican party in
Pennsylvania will be plunged into a fac.
tional war in the May primary.

VARELAUNCHES BOOM
FOR BRUMBAUGH- FIRES
FIRST GUN AT PENROSE
Congressman Issues Call to Re-
publicans of Country to Com
bine on Progressive Candi-
date, Suggesting Governor
DELEGATE FIGHT BEGINS

Congressman William $. Ware today
fred the opening gun in a Statewide fight
against Senator Penrose for control of the
delegates to the Republican National Con-
vention, which will be held in Chicago
next June, and at the same time openly
launched the presidential boom for Gov
ernor Brumbaugh.
In a statement made at Washington,
Ware announced that Governor Brum-
baugh was his first choice for President.
He mentioned, however. that Supreme
Court Justice Hughes and Senator Albert
e. Cummins of Iowa, also represented
the type of man who might be selected
TO lead the Republicans this year. The
statement was an appeal for reunited
party.
When asked his views on the Ware
statement, Senator Penrose absolutely de-
clined to make any comment and left for
Washington this afternoon.
Congressman Ware said there was moth
ing further to say on the matter at this
time and Senator Ware held the same at
titude.
Former Director of Public Safety
George d. Porter recently allied with the
Penrose wing OF the Organization said,
"I am satisfied that Congressman Ware $
statement as respects Governor Brum-
baugh's advsability as presidential can
didate should be taken for what it's
worth"
Politicians here regarded the statement
as launching the Brumbaugh boom on a
national basis They did not regard it as
only Il "favorite-son" movement, coupled
as it was with an appeal to Republicans
and Progressives OF the country to get
together.
Governor Brumbaugh was in Washing
ton on his wedding trip when the state
ment was issued, He declined to COM
ment on it.

MAsII1NGrnN- Inn III.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81.
The United states will insist that the
Entente Allies agree to dsarm their
merchant vessels, or they will be denied
clearance from American ports. This is
the attitude that the state Department has
decided to take despite the unofficial an
nounccment from London and Paris that
the British and French Government in
tend standing on the heretofore accepted
rule that merchant vessels have the right
to carry guns for defense.
So soon as official text OF this decision
is received by Secretary Of state Lansing
he will renew the original proposition.
He will also make 1t plain that the entire
question of compelling submarines to OBJ
serve the requirements of stos page and
search of merchant vessels befofc sink
ing them hinges on the point of whether
the Entente Governments have directed
merchant vessels to carry guns to resist
attacks by submarines.
Secretary Lansing will not decide how
the second note on the subject will be
framed until he has received official re-
fusals to his original informal suggestion
that the Entente Allies agree to disarm
their merchantmen. 1t was made very
plain at the State Department today
however that the Lustania negotiations
will have no part in the exchanges on this
subject The Lusitania is separate mat
ter and the Entente Allies have been
so informed through their embassies here.
President Wilson and Secretary Lansing
have heard from Colonel House regarding
Germany's attitude on the lusitania case,
although the Secretary refused to discuss
receipt of any message from the PrcSi-
dents special European envoy. 1t had
previously been agreed that any reports
from the Colonel were to be extremely
confidential and were to be carefully
guarded to prevent their reaching the
pit,Iif

the Camden County Naturalization Court,
conducted today by Judge Boyle, was
unable to gain his citizenship papers
owing to technicality, decision upon
which was delayed by the religious Or
ganizaton of which he is a member.
When he last appeared before the court
Wood refused to take oath that he would
bear arms for the United states. on the
grounds that it was contrary to the tenets
of his religious belief. He claimed that
there was a legislative provision eXclud-
ing Quakers from taking an oath,
To settle the question Wood said he
would submit the question to the Phila-
delphia branch of his church. This he
did. The meeting in turn referred the
question to a subcommittee, and, as Wood
in a letter to the court today explained,
the subcommittee has taken no action
as yet
The conflict in Europe was reflected
with both humor and pathos in the court.
A total of ~ applications, virtually all
from the war-torn countries. came before
the court, and of these fewer than 10 were
refused their papers.
A Belgian and n German stood before
the bar OF the court together There was
no evident animosty between the two.
But when the Belgian, in answer to
question from the Court, said: II wish
to become an American because | have
no country now" it was with difficulty
that he suppressed the emotional conflict
he felt. Jacques Won Dale, the Belgian,
received his papers.
The German, when asked if war should

ton until it was explained to him that
he would be denied his papers If he ad-

that mistake had been made and he had
meant he would not fight against the
United States. He was admitted,
Two men assured the Court that there
were only two colors in the American flag
but they disagreed as to what cOlors these
two were. Both were sure that white was
one of the colors, but one claimed that the
remaining color was red, while the other
thought it was blue.
Nitto LingellO, an Italian, became so
excited when called before the Court that
he forgot his name. After being given
five minutes to think il over, he regained
his COmposure and also his name He
