Trenton. Nov. 3.--"Iast statements"
and confident claims by. Republican
and Democratic leaders mark the close
of the rcdhot campaign for governor
that has kept New Jersey in condi-
tion of lively excitement during two
or three weeks last past.
State COMPTROLLER Newton \. H.
Bugbcc, the Republican candidate for
governor. said today he expected 81.
600 majority ut tomorrOw'S election.
State Senator Edward l. Edwards, his
Democratic opponent. places his own
ma iority at about the same figure.
The Republican claims are marked
by an aggrcssivcncss not manifest in
those of the Democrats.

manager being asked for an estimate
of tomorrOw'S result replied

my talking after the result. -
Stokes Attacks Notification
The "prcdiction included the 81. .000
Bugbec plurality. while the argument
on which the lattrr's campaign has been

Stokes declares to be the Democratic
purty's opposition to part of our con
Stitution, its determination to- "uul
lify the eighteenth amendment.
Against this attitude Stokes places
the pledge of MIR. Bugbcc to 'maintair

British Oppose Import
of American Motor Cars
lAasooiated preaa Correanondenoa.l

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence.)
LONDON, Sept. 10-Announcement
of the governments import policy, by
which 1T is possible for American au-
tomobile manufacturers to once more
operate in the British market, has
aroused English manufacturers to
what they term a sense of their dang
err" with the probability that the So
ciety of British Motor Manufactures
will make representations to the gov-
eminent.
IF imports ere unrestricted" said
Mr.. Mccormick, one of the leading
members of the society, there is
grave danger of the British market
being flooded next season, and the eff
forts OF British manufacturers toward
mass production will be frustrated.
Thousands OF people who might have
found employment in the motor in
dustry will, thus be idle, and British
manufacturers will be compelled to
revert to the pre-war practice of
limited production and consequent
high costs. 1t was American legisla-
ton that built up the American trade.
Why can't British legislation build. UP
the trade here?"

MEN LOYAL At
DRY DOCKS HERE
WalkOut in New York Does Not
Effect Local Yard

There is no truth to the rumor
spread about to considerable extent
that a strike is in progress at the
plant of the Perth Amboy Dry Dock
Company here. Although some of
the men employed in plants in New
York Harbof went on strike today,
the employees at the Perth Amboy
Dry Dock Company's plant remained
at work. The strike was called by the
Marine Workers Council, an indepen-
dent union and not connected with the
Federation of Labor, which intends to
hold the men out until q new set of
agreements dating from today and ex-
tending over a course of one year is
accepted.
The Marine Workers Council is a
new organization, and at the present
time CONTROLS the majority of the la
Dor in the various shipbuilding plants
in this section, both those owned by
private interests and those owned by
the government. In the beginning the
Marine Workers Council was q part of
the American Federation of labor but
some five or six months ago a miSun-
Outstanding tool place and the W
labor bodies separated and the pres
ent strike has nothing whatever to do
with the National organization.
At the local plant, which Is n OF
the plants in operation, but nine or
ten of the employees are members of
the Marines Council, the rest being
members Of the American Federation
of Labor. Those connected with both
organizations are on the job and so
the yard remained open. These con-
ditions do not exist in some of the
other plants, however.
1t is a known fact that the Perth
Amboy Dry Dock Company, regard
less of what other plants do, pay the
regular scale of wages, and whatever
settlement Is made between the union
and the plants in the agreement,
will be met by the Perth Amboy
Company.
Among the demands made in the
new agreement which is to become eff
fective today and remain in effect
until May 1, 1920, the union demands
an eight hour day on Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday and a four hour day on Satur-
day. All other work Is to be consid-
cred as over time. For this work they
demand two hours for one on new
work and two and one-half hours for
one on old and repair work, includ-
ing Sundays and holidays. On Labor
Day and Christmas they demand
four hours for one.
They demand a wage increase of
twenty-five per CEN over the basic
hourly rates of eighty cents and
eighty-six cents as established by the
States Shipping Labor Adjust
ment Board. They also demand a
twenty-five per cen increase on piece
work.

German Naval Units Now
Doing Regular Shore Duty
(ASSociated Press Correspondence.)
xXTTvyTJ TIIE ID EnpC'

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
IN GERMANY, Sept. 2:-The old
sharp distinction between the Ger
man naval and German military
forces is disappearing, AS the navy
has virtually no ships, the naval
officers and men are largely available
for shore duty.
According to information reaching
the American army headquarters in
Coblenz at the present time such
volunteer naval units as exist serve
practically as troops along the coast,
and transfers of naval men to and
from the Reichswehr, or national
army, are frequent. This was made
easy by the fact hal both the War
and Navy Department. are under
Defense Minister Noske.
BY q recent German naval order q
number of sea officers were trans
ferred to the coast guard at Will
heImshaven and a coast guard de-
tachment at Cuxhaven. On the other
hand a number Of officers on shore
duty have been transferred to the
only forces of the German navy
afoat, the three or four volunteer
torpedo boat fotillas.

TALK INTERESTS
100 Merchants Profit By Lee
ture Of Chamber Of Commerce

About 100 merchants of the city
attended the lecture by s. T. Fannon
of the National Cash Register Com
pany at the Y. M. G. A. last night on
Retail Merchandising. In connection
with the lecture the feature film,
Troubles OF a Merchant and How to
Stop Them" was shown. The affair
was held under the auspices If the
Chamber of Commerce.
Never before have the merchants
had portrayed before them the re-
suits of running a business no matter
how little or how big, in q successful
manner as was shown on the screen
by the films Troubles Of q Merchant
and How to Stop Them" The film
showed a store run in a careless man
ner and one run under a proper sys-
tenn, and the facts brought out by the
's'm XII l$dg remaYn tf- the memory
of those WHO viewed it.
During his talk Mr.. Fannew laid
emphasis ION the value of newspaper
Advertising to the retail merchants
He said iS part; 81 believe 1 am safe
in saying that ten merchants have
tie, to every n h a failed because
he advertised too much. Certainly
hundreds of stores have remained
small due to this neglect"
Advertising is simply a way of tell
ing possible purchasers about the
goods o have for sale. Simple words
and direct statements SHOULD, there
fore, be used in preparing your ads.
Big words and involved sentences will
not be read. The purchasing public
doesn't "a how well educated you
are. 1t simply wants to know what
you have to SELL its quality, and its
price.
In writing ads place yourself in
the position of the person you are
writing to. The kind of ads you read
are the kind that will interest the
other fellow. AS O. general rule it Is
we'll to give prices.
Make your ads different. Don't try
to cop what other people say. Put
your personality into them. Tell the
story about your goods just as you
would tell 1t in the store. If your
ad Is just like everybody else's 1t will
not be read.
Be absolutely honest in your ad-
vertising. Put your reputation into
every statement.
