ITHACA, n. y, Oct. 29.-Ross W.
Kellogg, secretary Of the Board Of
Commerce, who has taken an active
part in the fight by Ithaca citizens to
bar the Hearst papers, explained to-
day that there had been a misunder-
standing regarding the position taken
in the fight by Frank Mayors. dis
tributer mere of all New York City
newspapers.
On October %. Mr.. Mayors was re-
ported to have refused to furnish any
of the papers to Sharpe & Kelsey,
after their refusal to handle the "New
York American" and the Evening
Journal" 1t was said that Mr.. Kel-
logg informed Mr.. Mayors that
"Ithaca citizens would not stand for
such tactics"
"Thesc statements are not entirely
in accordance with the facts" Mr. kel-
iogg said ycste rday. "Professor Cony
Sturgs reported to me that Mr..
Mayors had refused to sell Sharpe e.
Kelsey other New York papers unless
they took me Hearst publications. |
tOl0 PROFESSOR SturglS tndC | would
see Mr.. Mayors and ascertain his side
of the matter
Il saw Mr.. Mayors and stated the
facts as presented to ME. Mr.. Mayors
said that it was not his intention to
force Hearst or any other publications
on any dealer. but that he was obliged
to notify Sharpe & Kelsey that if
they discontinued one Hearst publ
cation they would not be permitted to
sell any Sharpe e. Kelsey We're
willing to discontinue the New York
American and Evening Journal This
action on their part however, would,
Mr.. Mayors said, force him to discon-
tinue Cosmopolitan "Hearst's, :"
Good Housekeeping" and other Hearst
magazines
"The Tribune article gives the i'm
preston that I used my position as
secretary of the Board of Commerce to
throw scare into Mr.. Mayors This
never was contemplated Mr.. Mayers
has been my friend for many years
and it was as a friend that 7 CON
suited him. | felt certain that he was
not trying TO force Hearst publications
on the community and | went to him
IN an effort to correct what 7 believe
to be and what proved to be mis-
understandings"

way to simple, unadorned dishes for
the wartime period. Dishes containing
two kinds Of meat or poultry, mixed
cold meats, liver and bacon, sweet
breads and bacon, bacon or toast as a
garniturc are among the most noted of
conservation's latest casualties. There
is only one silver of good news to New

restored to its natural place beneath
poached eggs or Clipped beef, service
forbidden when the twelve general or
ders were first promulgated.
1t is the hotel divisions close inter

The board announces that only one
lamb, veal, pork or mutton chop should
be served if the diners appetite $ lin

request the curtailment of the size of
portions of ham or bacon, with cor
responding reduction in price.

Defender Of Huns
BY BRIGGS

ELIZABETH, N. j., Oct. 29.-At the
polls next Tuesday Elizabeth voters

which has hung over this city since
July 4, 1917, when Mayor Mravlag re-
fused to accept an American flag as
a gift to the municipality.
Elizabeth voters have their choice of
three candidates: William Seton,
Republican,; John A. Mitchell, Demo-
crat; and the present Mayor, who is
running as on "independent." The
differences between Republican and
Democrat have largely been lost sight
OF in this campaign. in face of the
Americanism issue of the Mayor.
The flag incident occurred on the
first Fourth of July after the country
declared war on the Huns. G. Bar
tram Woodruff, now a captain in the
army. made speech presenting, the
Aag to the city. According to the
programme. Mayor Mravlag was tc

had said come pretty hard things
about the Germans: he called them
Huns and likened the Kaiser to At
tila And Mayor Mravlag, who was
born in Austria, refused to accept the
flag.
Mravlag, in published statement
later declared that the Huns were not
barbarians and that they were not un-
necessarily cruel in war.
Ambrose McManus, president of the
Elizabeth Chamber of Commerce. yes
terday appealed to voters to make
their choice between Republican OIL
Democrat. but to defeat the Mayor.
"Newspapers all over the country
printed the story of the Fourth OF
July incident" he said. On October
Is, Hearst's New York Evening
Journal printed a cartoon showing
the Kaiser barred from hell, but the
road 10 Elizabeth open to him. Ap-
parently the impression has gone out
that the Kaiser would be welcome in
Elizabeth If he'll won't have him. This
