Five Investigating Charges of
Unlawful Expenditures by
Hoboken Commissioners
Approached, They Say
One Awarded Contract
Judge Suddenly Switches
Inquiry From Officials
to Men of Grand Jury

Five members Of the grand jury in
vestigating charges made against the
.ity commissioners Of Hoboken ad-
nitted yesterday that they had been
approached In connection with the case.
Supreme Court Judge Swayze obtained
he missions after switching the in
luiry suddenly from the officials to the
jurors. 49,
One Of the Jurors. William Gott-
'hardt, Of Jersey City, told the court
hat A. Harry Moore. Jersey City Com
missioner of Parks, Of the same poIit-
cal affiliation as the Hoboken commits
sioners, visited him at his home sew
eral days ago Moore told the Juror
that the latter had been awarded con-
tract for $4,000, he stated.
Don't you see any connection be-
.wcen that award and this case"
Judge Swayze asked. When Gotthardt
answered that he had never viewed it
n that light Judge Swayze said:
I'll can't think that Moore meant
anything else than to connect the Ho-
boken case with the contract"
Judge Swayze then asked Gotthardt
if Moore had brought the Hoboken
case into the conversation.
Cali he said was: we get news Of
what happens in the grand jury room
almost as soon as it happens, the
juror replied.
When the Jurors filed into the Hud-
son County courthouse in Jersey City
n the late afternoon ard presented q
stack Of Indictments, Judge Swayze
turned the papers over to the clerk
and signalled the twenty-three men to
be seated.
Speaking crisply and directly to the
jury, Judge Swayze told them it was a
cussed grand jury matters with them.
He declared he would put each Of the
jurors under oath to fnd whether there
was any ba is Of truth in the rumor
and to get all the details of such oc-
currences.
All IF the jurors denied that any
direct effort had been made to in
huence them in the case. Several, how
ever, admitted that persons had tried
to discuss the Hoboken case with them.
Clerk Summoned to Appear
Eugene T. HUBERT, one Of these, told
the court that c ERIK in his Office Will
lam F. Tanning, had tried to put him
straight on the charges against the
Hoboken officials. Judge Swayze then
ordered that Tanning appear in court
this morning to explain his interest
in the case.
Three other jurors, who told Of at
-empts to engage them in discussion of
he charges we're William F. Braun.
Edward c. Zeiger and Eric Peterson.
Braun and Zeiger could not remember
he incidents at first, until their
memories <kfere refreshed by the fore

Prussia did not come under national

The state in Che future, Herr HIrsch
said, would expect the finance and
other governmental departments to abb
stain from the practice OF permitting
national legislation calculated to en-
croach upon the constitutional Fights
OF individual states.
The Davarlun ucleEate was even more
outspoken in his protest against the
tax measures, declaring the Berlin gov
ernment's "speedy aspirations for a
unified state warrant the greatest mis-
givings." He said he opposed the pres
cnt measures on material grounds and
warned against what he said was de
priving the states Of their financial
sovereignty.
