AUSTRIA NOW
IS WATCHFUL
of Events in Hungary---ItS fu-
ture Has Bearing on Austria

~ 80 a&t
VIENNA, Aug. 29:zAustria Is
watching the trend of vents in Hun
gary with growing apprehension. The
future of that former part of the dual
monarchy it is freely said by both
the press and men who are trying to
guide the country. to have O. grave
bearing on Austria's future, which it
self is admittedly uncertain. The
present ~ascendency of reactionary
element is feared here to point the
road to monarchial government,
either by the reestablishment of Hum
gary as q kingdom or the fruition of
the reported Roumanian scheme for
a dual Roumanian empire, under a
Roumanian king.
The activity of the royalist element
In Europe, outside of h immediate
house of Hapsburg, is indicated by
reports from apparently good sources
that approaches recently have been
made to q certain high parsonage
whose name and influence have not
figured in recent European history.
with the intimation that he would be
acceptable as either king or emperor
of Hungary. This approach is said
to have been made through a high
parsonage of one of the political par
ties at present in the ascendency OF
politics.
According to Information here the
forthcoming election in Hungary is
strongly toward q monarchial sue
cess.

Edwards Racks Up scsiIly

JERSEY CITY, Sept. 5:-Senator
Edward I. Edwards, candidate for
the Democratic gubernatorial nomi-
nation, today branded as false to the
uttermost the charge James h.
Nugent made here last night that the
First National Bank Of Jersey City,
OF which Senator Edwards is presl-
took up $4,000 worth Of Tom
Scully's notes after the latter retired
from the gubernatorial race I'M in
dorsed Mr.. Edwards for the nomi-
nation. He said in part:
Mr.. Nugent's statement relative
to Mr.. Sculiy's alleged transaction
with the First National Bank OF Jer-
sey City, of which I am president. is
unqualifedly false. Tom Scully never
| had a bank account with the First
National, the bank never loaned him
a dollar and 1t never loaned a dollar
to anyone connected with him. He
never asked for the loan of a dollar
and from what / can learn of him,
he never needed an accommodation
| of that character. If he did he has
the New York banks where his bust
| ness Is located. He has absolutely no
business connection with the First
! National Bank, n while l have
known him for a i do not re-
member ever having see him in the
bank.
isThe Essex man is simply over the
ropes. and he has los all sense OF
fairness IN playing the game. II
simply shows the desperation he Is IN
and how low in the scale of political
combat he has fallen to. My reply
ID him Is that II he can prove hi
assertion / will give $4,000 to any
worthy charity in Newark that ht
may name.

SCuLLY PASSES
LIE To UGENT
Denies Attack As to Transfer
Of Money to Edwards Bank

Congressman Scully, when askeI
for a statement in reply to James II
Nugent's charge hat he had with.
drawn from the race for governor
when his notes for $4,000 were
transferred from Perth Amboy to the
First National Bank of Jersey City
of which Edward /. Edwards is pres
ident, said:
Mr.. Nugent's statement is an alb
solute and complete lie, the product
of his own obscene imagination or
hat of some toadying creature oi
the political underworld with which
MIR. Nugent is so familiar.
1.-THE statement is a malicious slam
der, but IT is apparently uttered with
the calculated cowardice of the GRIM
inal who knows how to keep within
the law since my lawyers inform me
hat / have no case for libel because
1 cannot prove hat 1 have been dam
aged.
81 was never in the First National
Bank of Jersey City in my life and
never did a dollars worth of business
with 1t. Neither did I ever receive, for
any purpose q single dollar from the
Public Service Corporation or brew
ing interests.
II challenge James r. Nugent to
name the bank in Perth Amboy and
to meet me on N platform in Hud-
son County or Essex County n to
make good on his statement or else
publicly admit that lie lied. Lest he
try to claim that he was merely wrong
about the bank but not abou the
story otherwise, / challenge him to
prove that his statement was true with
regard to any such transfer between
any two banks, nj 1 will meet him on
any platform, as I have said, with Mr..
Edwards or any other bank president
and prove that his statement was a
malicious lie.
I'm my statement announcing my
withdrawal as a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Governor
I gave the true and the only reasons
for nv decision to withdraw. The
malice and cowardice of Mr. Nugents
most recent lie does not tend to make
me believe hat i was mistaken when
/ said his nomination would be a dis
grace and the attempt to elect him a
suicidal farce.
Mr.. Nugent's power and influence
has been for many years a restoring
sore on the Democratic party of-NeWl
Jersey. The name in which he has
obtained power and influence and the
use he has made of them have cor
the political morals of a gen.
Grafton and made the cherishing OF
a subject OF ribald posting.
ut is unfortunate that Nj. Nugentl
has succeeded in creating in certain
impressionable quarters h impress
sion that he, and he alone, is h stan
lard bearer of the AUTHORIZATION
Is it too late for those who'd
are interested in the success of the
ti-Prohibition 1ght-I mean hnan-
cially interested-to expose the cum
mendacity Of that claim and so
ave themselves from getting the
credit for Mr.. Nugent's overwhelming
defeat, and from suffering, not only in
New Jersey but elsewhere, the conse-
auences of a defeat with which Mr..
seems so determined to con-
them?"
"a man of his tripe cannot be cleo
ed, whatever principles he claims to
advocate. The logical thing for the
real believers in those principles to
do is to disassociate themselves from
his candidancy while yet there Is

ington hospital from wounds re-
ceived Sunday night, May 4th,
when Sheriff Jos. Talbot and
his deputy, John Mcdonald were
killed. Mr.. Stapleton never re-
gained the power Of speech; al
though he made an effort to
communicate by signs, nothing
was learned Of the crime that
was committed on that fateful
night. 1t is believed that the
long exposure following the as
sault contributed very materi-
ally to his death.
Mr.. Stapleton was born in Viz
ginia, and was 81 years of age.
He was appointed night watch
man in the summer Of 1918, to
succeed Mr.. Johnson, who was
