 Officials of the secretary of states office pointed out that practically all of the strong wet strongholds of the state are represented in the above figures by complete votes, while the rural counties, the strongholds of the drys, are yet to be heard from.
 Chief Statistician Johnson of the secretary's office continued tonight to predict that all four proposals had been carried by the drys. some of them by from 30 900 to 75.OO0. He admitted, however, that later returns show that . the dry majority for the Crabbe pro- hibition enforcement bill referendum may not be as large at he at first an ticipated.
 On available returns at the state house, the wet majority on the Crabbe act referendum was larger than the majorities on either of the other three proposals. being 63.559. The ratifica- tion referendum gave wet majority on the same figures of 60.010; the 275 per cent. beer amendment gave a wet

CONGREGATIONAL PASTOR :.
 BUNcOED OUT OF 5000

Paterson, N. J.. Nov. 5.-Frederick Loehrs, pastor of the Congregation for the Enlightenment of Soul and Spirit, probably will never again give his note for $5,00U toward purchase of buried treasure on New Jersey farm. He testified in court here today that he had been ''inveigled into'' giving his note for an Oakland street tract after he had been interested in a dream in which a negro woman ap- peared and explained that more than $2.0o0,o00 worth of jewelry and gold lay buried" there.
 Loehrs took the witness stand in . suit brought against him by Daniel Balsinger. who sought to recover on the clergyman's note..i He testified that Balsinger was the man who had tho dream and told it to him.
 Loehrs. Mrs. Sophis Sautter. treas- urer of the congregation. and Mrs, Marie Blumer. secretary. co-defend- : ants with the pastor. all dug on the treasure farm, Loehrs said. without finding eevn 8 stictpin.
 Balsinger "gaye every. indication that he intended to dig for the hidden treasure himself. Loehrs said, but the negro woman reappeared in later dream. and her description. of the fated digger and owner fitted Loehrs so well that Balsinger decided to sell to him.

OPERATORS DENY GOMpERS' STATEMENT

Washington, Nov. 5.-Denial of Samuel Gompers' statement that rep resentatives of the operators walked out of the meeting called by Secre- tary Wilson for the purpose of try ing to settle the coal strike was made tonight by. the executive committee of the bituruinous coal operators of the central competitive field. The operat- DTS expressed willingness to present all facts bearing on the controversy to any tribunal that might be named by the government.
 "A careful examination of Samuel Gompers' announcement regarding tEe coal strike" said the opera tors state ment, 'fdiscloses the absence of 8 single accurate statement of facts. In that respect, his pronouncement is identical with the statement Ae put out last week in which he charged coal operators with curtailiqg prcd,:c- tion to boost prices-a statement which even Acting President Lewis of the miners organization emphatically repudiated.
 'Tn his latest statement MT. Com perfs goes lightly from one inaecura- cy to another. He mistakes working conditions, miners advances and ap- orators selling prices.
 Tt is not true that the operators representatives walked out of Secve- tary Wilson's conference. leaving MT. Lewis with no alternative but 10 call a strike. The operators representa- tive accepted President Wilson's pro- posal in it's entirety and withdrew from the conference in order that their presence might not embarrqss Secretary Wilson in his effort to per suade the miners to take the honor able course thus opened to them. At trn ti-- ,r +Ne'' withdrawal the operators advised Secretary Wilson that they ,.o4.,, remaIn .n Washing ten, awaiting his call to further con- ference.
 Tt is not true. as MT. Gompars inn plies that the miners are not permit tel by the operators to work full time The operators have no control over the demand for coal. They can mere ly stand ready to produce and fur uish it when the public requires and is willing to accept it.
 Tt is not true that the miners re- ceived an advance of twenty cents per ton in 1914

raised the price of coal s5 per ton in 1874. On the contrary the price was reduced.
 Tt is not true, as NJ. Gompers states, that for the past several years ,the miners have averaged only 160 to 180 working days a year.
 Tt Is a fact, however-and Mr. Gompers could easily have ascertain ed it-that virtually every bituninous mine in the country has on it's pay roll a substantial nu <.r of men three days a week when they have an opportunity to work
 MT. Gompers states that the miners are demanding shorter working hours so that their work may be made reg ular instead of intermittent. How is it possible to effect such regulation How can mines be worked when no cars are available? How can mines be worked on days when mine Sidings and railroad yards are blocked with loaded cars which the public does not need and will not buy
 MT. Gompers well knows that the public buys it's coal only as it wants it and it always will.
 Docs MT. Gompers think that a change from an eight hour day to q SIX HUT udy VIII COHlpSl me puDlC to buy its coal far in advance cf its requirements at tremendous advanced prices, made necessary by increa sel pay for less work on the part of the miners.
 "The statements issued oy Mr. Gonlptrs, the American Federation of Labor, and officials of the United Mine Workers of America with re- spect to hours of work and earnings of miners have, in their entirety, been grossly inaccurate, misreprese and misleading to the public. Statistical information of this scrt because of its compiexitv cannot be i accurately presented or analysed ir the public press.
