NEW ARK, Nov. s-The United
States Shipping Board has directed the
Submarine Boat Corporation Of Port
Newark not to proceed with the con-
struction of the last 80 Of 100 steel
ships for which the corporation holds
government contract. A suggestion
has been made that the corporation
take over the material and construct
the ships independent of the govern
ment Tho corporation has informed
the Shipping Board that it preferred
not to do this. The board now has the
entire matter under consideration and
is expected to mako known a decision
within a short time

proxmatcly $16,000,00O, was in the
Port Newark shipyard, but that there
was no way to force the Shipping
Board to proceed with construction If
the contract should be cancelled and

started.
The contract provided for the building
of 100 ships Of $3.50 dead weight tons.

ty-eight are on the ways. The eighty
ninth ship will be launched Monday and
the nineteth on Tuesday. Two new
keels will be laid Immediately after the
ships leave the ways. The one hundred
and eighteenth will be put down on
Tuesday. Under the present order from
the Shipping Board, no keels will be
laid after Tuesday.
The corporation has been negotiating
with the Shipping Board to purchase
the yard and equipment. 1t was hoped
to continue construction of the ships for
the government and also to seek con-
tracts for ships to be built for private
interests after the government work had
been finished. Approximately 1900
men are employed in the Port Newark
until after the Shipping Board has in
formed the corporation what it proposes
to do.

his boomers made lot Of noise. When
they discovered Tammany had decided
gracefully withdrew and decided to
wait until next time.
In view Of the adverse pluralities
against Democrats generally in New
York and in other places in the state
last Tuesday the friends of Governor
Smith expect to see him announce his
retirement from office olding at the
end. his term as Governor.
Election Opens Tammany's Eyes
The loss of Manhattan Borough. even
with popular Democrat like Edward
r. Boyle, backed by all the Democratic
and Hearst newspapers, was an eye
opener for the Tammany men, and they
are far less enthusiastic about running
Governor Smith in 1920 than they were
n week before election. The Governors
closest friends say he will not be a
candidate, preferring to stand one side,
and attend to the rebuilding of the
Tammany machine, so as to be ready
for the Mayoralty fight in 1921. The
Tammany men are likely next summer,
when the state leaders get together to
talk over candidates, to assent to the
demand of the upstate men taht the
candidate be from above The Bronx
William Church Osborn, who con-
tested in the Democratic primaries last
year for the nomination, is likely to
be an aspirant again next year, but

record to urge in his behalf, and they
count on Tammany swinging to Lunn
rather than to Osborn.
Socialism Just Wild Oats"
The Lunn men have an answer ready
for the Mayor-elect's critics who
charge he is too much Of a Socialist
for tho Democrats to run him for Gov
ornor. They direct attention to the
fact that when he ran for Mayor Of
Schenectady three years ago he was
opposed by the Socialists, who also OPP
posed him when he ran for Congress
in 1916.
Since then, they say, he has been a
stanch supporter Of President Wilson
in the House Of Reprcse ntatives, and
that his record as Socialist is a chap
ter Of political wildcats sowing that
should be forgiven as the indiscretion
Of an er-enthusiastic temperament.
The Lunn men say he now has n
mature mind, that he is in the states
man class on account Of his appearance
in the House Of Representatives, and
that his ability is sufficient to com
mand the respect of the voters all over

THE PUBLIC WARNED
Red Cross Issues Notice of Instances
Where Men in Uniform Were
Peddling

r. M. Cushman, director of After
care, New England division of the
American Red Cross, 755 Boylston
street, Boston, Mass, has sent out
the following regarding peddling by
men in uniform:
Several instances have been
brought to the attention of the divis-
ion office recently Of men in uniform,
claiming to be discharged from SER
vice, who are going about selling diff
ferent kinds of articles.
In some instances the men have
said they were sent out by the Red
Cross. The articles which they sell
usually are Of very little intrinsic
value but the men tell appealing
stories so that the real result is that
they are given much more than the
article they are selling is worth,
which undoubtedly is the object
which they have in mind when they
engage in such an activity.
In case it is not possible to learn
who the men are, secure as accurate
a description of them as is possible
together with description of the
articles they sell and send it to div
ision headquarters.
One thing that would put stop to
this sort of occupation is widespread
publicity in local papers. Please
make every effort to secure such pub
licity.
