THE CHANBFR OF COMMERCE.

Friends of Fred e. Hilton. the re-
firing secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce, are sorry to see him leave
the city, but are glad that he is going
to an ever larger field where he will
probably have q greater opportunity
to show his ability. Mr.. Hilton has
worked hard since coming to this city;
he introduced many features that have
added much to the life of tho COM
munity, notably the forum idea which
brought together the men interested
in the city's welfare at q luncheon on
a certain day each month to hea dis
cussions for the Advancement OF the
city.
There have been numerous handi-
caps in the way of accomplishing all
that one would like to have done and
the Chamber of Commerce has not re-
ceived the backing that an organiza-
ton of this character in a community
ought to have. but the organization
has certainly made Its influence felt
during the past two years and not a
little Is due Mr. Hilton for what has
been one.
1t il significant that with the resig-
nation of Mr.. Hilton as secretary Of
tho Chamber of Commerce. both of
the local civic bodies. the other being
the United Business Mems Associa-
ton are now without permanent secre-
taries. AS these two organizations
have practically the same object in
view and as there hardly seems to be
room for both to exist in this a city of
this size, we would like to suggest that
the leaders in the two organizations
get together with the idea of combin-
Ing their forces In securing a new
secretary. We are sure that the city
needs a live, active Chamber of Com
merce IL 1t Is going to hold Its W
with the other progressive cities OF he
country and with it's merchants
bureau and manufacturers' bureau
1t ought to be able to serve Che
interests of all under the right
management.
The idea Is worth trying. All the
men interested in the welfare and
advancement of Perth Amboy ought
10 be working tremendously for its
development. 1t is only by all pull
ing together that anything worth
while can be accomplished. Now is
the time to make this united effort
for the sake of Perth Amboy.

Chicago, June 12.-Warren G..
Harding, United States senator from
Ohio, was nominated for the presi-
dency today by the Republican ma
tional convention after a deadlock
which lasted for nine ballots and
which finally forced out Of the rum
ming all the original favorites.
AS his running mate, the conven-
ton named Governor Calvin Cool
idge of Massachusetts,, upsetting a
plant of a combination of the Hard
ing hackers to nominate for the place
Senator Irvine L. Lenroot Of Wis
consin.
The collapse of the forces of Gov
ernor Frank o. Lowden and their
transfer in large part to Senator
Harding, put the Ohio candidate
over.
General Wood lost heavily, how
ever, when the Harding drift began
and Senator Johnson, the third OF
the trio of leaders on the early bal
loting yesterday, also went steadily
downhill.
Entering the convention four days
ago as a candidate distinctly OF the
clark horse" class, Senator Harding
got only sixty-four votes on the first
ballot yesterday and on the second
he. dropped to Sc. j.,
When the convention adjourned
last night at the end of the fourth
ballot he had 81.
Wood and Lowden Run Close.
In all-night conferences among the
party chiefs, however, he was men
toned many times as the most likely
to break the nomination deadlock
should neither Wood, Lowden nor
Johnson take a commanding lead to-
day. They all failed to do so. Wood
and Lowden running a neck and
neck race for leadership on four
more ballots, while the strength OF
the California; candidate dwlndled
steadily.
Meanwhile Harding pushed his to-
tai to 1873, individual delegates from
many States swinging to him from
the columns of the leaders and. OF
various favorite sons. The Johnson
managers, fearing landslide. was
impending, then made last play to
save the fortunes of their candidate.
They moved to recess for couple
of hours in order to take an inven-
tory and seek a new combination.
The Wood and Lowden forces, both
virtually at the peak OF their
strength, but both disheartened at
the long string of ballots without
material gains, fell in with the recess
plan and the convention adopted it.
Dramatic Conferences.
In the dramatic succession OF con.
fererces that followed the fate OF
the candidates virtually was sealed.
Some of the Wood and Lowden man.
ayers tried Intellectually for an
agreement which would hold their
deleeates in line and kill off the
Harding boom. Some tried to get a
Wood-L Lowden-J ohnson agreement to
adjourn until Monday without max
ing a nomination. There also was a
conference between Johnson and
Harding supporters, in which the
Ohioan's supporters tried without
success to have the remaining John
son strength swung to Harding.
It was the parleys between the
Harding and Lowden men, however,
which apparently bore the most fruit
when the balloting began again, for
Governor Lowden came to the con-
vention during the ninth roll call,
and reversing a previous plan to 60
before the convention itself, issued
instructions from behind the scenes
releasing his instructed delegates.
