No E[ECT|0N|N
Eth DISTRICT
Vacancy in Congress Must
Wait Until November Be-
fore Being Filled.

TRENTON, March 26.-Governor
Edge will not order a special election
in the Fifth Congressional district to
| fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Representative John H. Capstick.
While no definite statement on the
subject has been made by the COVER
! nor, 1t became known here yesterday
that he-had reached a decision. The
law does not make it compulsory for
him to order an election, but 1t has
been the rule In this and other states
to order special election where va
cAnoy occurs year or more before the
expiration Of the term.
With the decision of the governor
not to call special election the va
cancy Will be filled at the regular cleo
ton in November. This would mean
that the candidate for the regular term
would also be q candidate for the un-
expired term of Congressman Capstick.
The only effect this will have will be
to postpone the contest now in prog
ress for the Republican nomination.
There are half a dozen avowed aspir-
ants for the nomination and all Of
them had anticipated a special election.
No reason is offered for the failure
Of the governor to call special elec-
ton, but it is assumed that the COM
plicated senatorial situation has much
to do with 1t. Friends Of the COVER
nor said that the governor deemed it
unnecessary to put the counties Of
Union and Morris TO the expense Of d
special election, and for that reason he
would not order a special election.
The latest phase Of the situation in
the Fifth district Is the possibility of
Hamilton F. Kean as compromise
candidate for the United States SEN
ator. He has been looked upon as the
leading candidate for the congressional
nomination In the Fifth district, al
though he has made no formal an
Of his candidacy, but the
possibility Of split in the regular"
vote that might lead to the nomina-
ton of George L. Record as the Repub-
lican candidate for United States SEN
ator is giving the organization leaders
much concern, although they pretend
not to fear the candidacy cf Mr.. Rec

The Kaiser's legions are close to the

believe that the issue Is going to be

that 1t will mark the highest tide of

after checking the enemy there the
Allies won't wlit long before taking
the Initiative again. - : -
This view was shared by British
Off ic rs.
That Germany's titanic effort to
break the British lines has failed at
the end of the first phase OF the bat

military authorities here today. '-The
position of the battle zone Is now
clearer" 1t was said.
A high American military officer
said 1T is possible to get a more
general view Of what has happened
during the first five days fighting. 1t
Is clear that yesterday the situation
improved considerably. The first
phase Of the battle Is In fact over, or,

Verdict for $10O In Assault
Case Against Public Service

| A verdict Of 500 was found in the
| district court this morning by jury
| in favor of Samuel Manger, of David
son avenue, and Smith street against
| the Public Service Railways Company
The suit was the outgrowth of an as
sault on Manger on a Public Service
car on November II of last year, when
Manger was a passenger, coming from
Keasbey on one of the defendent's cars,
and was assaulted and tnsulted by
John Slanjack. the conductor.
With Manger at the time were two
cigarette. Manger says that he told
the man to throw the cigarette away,
and as he made the remark the con-
ductor of the car, informed him that
he was running the car, and took
Manger by the throat and pushed
him into the car. An argument en-
sued when the car arrived at the wat
er works, Manger was invited to leave
the car and fight the conductor. This
he refused to do and rode to the car
barns where he started to leave the
car. AS he left the car he alleged the
conductor pushed him Off.
Manger brought suit against the
Public Service for $500.
The defense was a general denial of
the assault charge, either on the car,
or when Manger left 1t. and claimed In
turn that Manger had provoked an
argument, and had called the conduc-
tor vile names. I
Thomas Brown appeared for the
plaintiff, and ]. G. Townsend OF New
ark represented the company.
