TRAIN OVER ONE
HOUR LATE Hen: !:
Delay Was Due to Breaking
Down Of Engine

The train over the Central Railroad
of New Jersey, leaving New York
at 4:40 and arriving at the Central
station here at 5:32 each weekday.
did not get into Perth Amboy last
night until about Gas, being over an
hour late. The delay was due to the
breaking down of the engine shortly
after the train left Elizabethport. Al
though the engine could run back
wards 1t was impossible for 1t to run
ahead and so the train was backed
down and placed on side track be-
tween Elizabeth and Elizabethport
where 1t remained until another en-
gine could be secured.
1t is said to be impossible for the
Central to run some of its largest ana
best equipped engines on this branch
of the service as two of the bridges
between this city and New York are
in such poor condition. These bridges
are located over the Railway river at
TremIey and the Woodbridge creek at
Maurer.
The class of engines now being OPP
Grated over the Central here are un-
derstood to not be equal to the heavy
traffic which has developed and IN
order to bring the larger engines over
this line as soon as possible, work has
already been started towards the re-
building of the Railway river bridge.
A temporary bridge is being bullG
around the present structure ana
trains will operate over this While the
new bridge is under way. 1t IS un-
derstood that the work of building 9
new bridge over the Woodbridge creek
will be started shortly after the Ran
way river bridge is completed.

$ LIKELY To END
May Either Resign or New State
Chairman Named

TRENTON, Nov. S:-The Republi-
can State Committee is to have a
meeting here next Tuesday at the
call Of State Chairman e. c. Stokes.
There have been rumors ever since
the party sustained defeat last Tues
day on the governorship that Mr..
Stokes will resign or that a move
ment would be started to supplant
him with q new chairman.
Yesterday when asked If any ac-
ton of this kind might take place at
the coming meeting, the chairman
said he thought not and gave the I'M
preston that he has no thought of
resigning, at this time at least. 1t
will be recalled that he took the
craftsmanship after Mr.. Bugbee re-
signed with the understanding that
he might retire after the campaign
was over.
The state chairman explained that
Tuesdays gathering will be to hear
reports of the different county repre-
sentatives as the result of the recent
unsuccessful fight. He said no new
plans will be taken up at the meeting
looking toward next years fight.
Mr. Stokes limited that he might
continue to hold the chairmanship
for another year. Despite this, re-
ports from other sources were to the
effect that something Dig might
happen at the coming State Commit
tee meeting and that 1t would relate
to the chairmanShip

stuff proved unsuccessful, but BolbeI

GUT OUT TRAINS
To SAVE COAL
But No General CurtalIment is
Planned

The following message was re-
cclved at the Lehigh Valley coal
docks here today from the director
general of railroads:
The machinery set up by the
Railroad Administration to distribute
the coal held in transit by the rail-
roads in accordance with the dtrec-
tions of the fuel administration is in
full operation and as a result wher-
ever possible coal is being distributed
in accordance with the priority list
established by the fuel administra-
ton where such coal is absolutely
needed. Therefore where there is a
real need for coal the problem should
be taken up Immediately with the
railroad ordinarily supplying the coal
and every effort will be made by such
railroad to meet the demand 1t is
of course, essential both because OF
the present bituminous coal strike
and In order that the needs for the
coming winter may be looked after
that fuel be used as economically as
| possible. 1t should be remem bered
| that the railroad did not interfere
| with the delivery of coal to desg-
mated consignees until the day before
| the present strike began.
"In order to conserve coal as much
as possible regional directors of rail-
| roads nave been given authority
wherever it seems absolutely neces
sary to eliminate for the time beint
train service but in order to provid,
for the essential business needs o
| the country no general curtailmen
| of train service is contemplated. ThC
maintenance of the public transpor
tation service is of paramount i'm
portance in order to serve the count
less needs of general public and the
| interruption of that service should be
minimiZed as far as possible"
