WILL NAME SUCCESSOR
TO SENATOR HUGHES
Governor Edge Expected to
Make Appointment and to
Enter Race for Full Term
TRENTON, Ian. a

TRENTON, Jan. 81.
The probable successor to United
states Senator William Hughes. of Pat.
erson. who died here yesterday, il
uppermost in the minds OF political
leaders of the State. Many legal au.
thorities agree that under the State
laws Governor Edge has the power to
appoint a successor for the unexpired
term Of Senator Hughes. His term
would have ended on March of next
year and the Governor will probably
appoint man TO fill the vacancy tenn
porarlly until the general election in
November when full term Senator
will be elected.
Governor Edge said today he was
in no hurry TO act in the matter. Dur
ing the long illness of Senator Hughes.
New Jersey was represented by but
one Senator. Joseph s. Frelinghuysen.
The Governor will first make sure that
he has the power to make temporarr
appointment and he will probably ask
Attorney General Wescott for an opin-
ion on this point. II is generally agreed
here, however, that the power Of the
temporary appointment rests with the
Governor
The fact that Edge Is expected To enter
the race himself for the nomination for
the full term against Col, Austen Col
gate, of Newark, already Announced as a
candidate, makes the matter of the tenn
porary appointment interesting. as on
this may hinge the nomination of full
term Senator.
Among those prominently mentioned
for the ad interim appointment are ex-
Governor T.. c. Stokes. Trenton; ex-
Governor and former United States At
torney General John w. Griggs, Pater-
son; Ex-Governor Franklin Murphy,
Newark. and Chancellor Vivian NJ.
Lewis. Paterson.

NORWAY GETS MORE BITTER
 AGAINST !. s.
Asserted That Denmark Is Being More Favored by the Allies and Is
 Less Neural.

CHRISTIANIA, Jan. 23 - Feeling in Norway against America and to less degree against the other lln- tente Allies is growing bitter. It is reported here that America demands the stoppage of Norwegian exports to Germany in return for shipments of grain to Norway, but refuses to guarantee or promise Norway any supplies.
 The Norwegians are asking why they should offend Germany by cur tailing supplies at the bequest of America, after all. Reports that Denmark is receiving provisions and other goods from America are re- ceived with amazement and some anger. The Norwegians say it is an open secret that the Danes have fed Germany during the whole period of the war, while the Norwegians claim to be comparatively innocent. Yet, they say, Denmark is favored by America and the Allies and they ask why.
 The Germans are making the most of the opportunity for propaganda
