depreciation of the Eighteenth Amend
ment, having qualified, in addition to
the twenty-six named by the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee. There
is a considerable number of women
named in each party group.
A small vote is expected on the Dem
ocratic and Prohibition tickets, as state
officials have held that voters at this
election may choose their ballots at the
polls regardless of party affiliation
announced at the time of their regis
tration.
"An elector may register Republican,
Democrat, Socialist, Nonpartisan or in
any other way, and at the primary he
may vote an entirely different ticket
just SO long as he designates the party
name Of the ticket he desires to vote

State, announced some time ago.
that Hoover's greatest strength will be
shown in the southern part of the
state and that Johnson's strongest sup
port will come from the northern part.
H. l.. Carnahan, former State Cor
poration Commissioner, has directed
Johnson's campaign. Ralph P. Merritt,
former Federal Food Administrator for
California, resigned as comptroller of
the University of California to take
charge of the campaign for Hoover.

Decision Not to Press

Allen Trimble Is Satisfied
Newark Leader Asserts He
Is Convinced Wood Fight
Was Clearly Conducted

There will be no recount Of the votes
cast in the New Jersey preferential
primaries last Tuesday.
This was decided upon ct q confer
ence yesterday afternoon IN the John
son campaign headquarters in New
York Of Senator Hiram johnson, Allan
Trimble, New Jersey campaign man.
ager for Senator Johnson; Harry
Kalisch, of Newark, who filed the petit
ton for the recount; Frank J. Pfaff,
an Elizabeth lawyer, who was to assist
in the proceedings; Sylvester J. Nc
Aztec. Of San Francisco, secretary Of
the Johnson campaign; al c. Joy, as
sstant manager of the Eastern cam
paign, and Milford Ballard. one of the
defeated candidates for delegate-at-
large on the Johnson ticket.
There won't be any recount because
required by Supreme Court Justice
Gummere," one of the men at the John
son headquarters said. 1--WE can't even
raise the $4,000 that might be neces-
sary. We thanked the Wood head
quarters in New Jersey for their offer
to donate $4,000 to the fund. Of
course they can easily do that sort of
thing, for they have slathers of money
and we haven't. We have not got that
much money for our entire national
campaign"
In telegram sent to General Wood,
who is in Indianapolis, Captain Robert
j. Foster, one of the New Jersey man
ayers of the Wood campaign, expressed
willingness to meet half the cost of the
recount provided it covered the whole
state.
Despite the fact that the recount
matter is closed incident, the John
son attorneys and managers considered
whether one last effort should be made
to obtain a recount in some of the
suspicious" districts at minimum
cost.
Allen Trimble. who directed the
Johnson campaign in Newark. said he
was satisfied with the count in New
Jersey, and that Captain Robert j.
Foster, in charge of the Wood forces
in Essex County, had played fair and
conducted clean campaign in the in
terest of Wood.

North Shore Co., Out of
Coal, Suspends Service
City Buses Also Blamed for
Withdrawal of Trolleys on
Long Island Line

Cars on the lines of the New York
and North Shore Traction Company on
Long Island stopped running before
dawn yesterday and George Stanley,
Rpres,i!dent of the company, notified the
Public Service Commission that the
suspension of service was necessary
because of his inability to get coal
that he had contracted for. The com
petition of the municipal buses was
another unfavorable factor, he said.
The cars had been running only two
weeks since the service was suspended
in February because of the snow.
Borough P re d n Connolly, of
Queens, directed yesterday, on the ad-
vice of the Corporation Counsel, that
bids be received for the repavng of
Jackson Avenue, Long Island City, and
the removal of the tracks of the New
York & Queens County Railway from
the side to the center of the thor
oughfare. The company had refused
to move it's tracks. Now the city will
pay for the work and charge the costs
against the trolley company, to be col
lected like taxes.

school teachers would only place the
lives and fortunes of teachers in Che
hands Of the Commissioner of Educa-
ton and put premium on jealousy
and create talebearers among teach
ers." 1t would drive self-respectng
men and women out Of the profession,
he says.
Opposition to Measure
Opposition to the measure will also
be voiced by r. Ernest Johnson, rep
resenting the Federated Churches of
Christ Of America, and by William f.
Gardner, executive to the presiding
bishop and council Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. Others protesting
against the bill include the New York
State League Of Women Voters and the
Y. M. G. A.
There are eight Lusk-Fearon bills
before the Governor. Five Of these
measures deal largely with American
ization through school instruction as a
means to curb sedition. The three
measures which are storm center in
the group are the ones which would
give the courts power to pass upon the
qualifications of a political organiza-
decide if members of such parties are
qualified to hold public Offices; an
other approprlates 100000 for the Gre
alton of a secret service bureau in the
Attorney Generals Office for the pros
ecution of criminal anarchy. The third
measure gives the State Board of Re-
gents authority to pass upon the
courses of study offered by private
schools conducted by fraternal or re-
ligious organizations Or private individ-
uals. The board would have the power
to wipe any private school out of ex-
istence through refusal to grant a
license

Unit Rule to Govern
Democratic Delegation
Secretary Hoyt Announces Cues
ton Will Not Even Be Dis
cussed at ALBANY Meeting

ALBANY, May 3.-The question of
adopting unit rule to bind the New
York state delegation to the Democratic
National Convention at San Francisco
will not be discussed at the meeting
of the delegation to be held in this
city Thursday and Friday Of this week.
Albert E. Hoyt, secretary Of the Demo-
cratic State Committee, said day the
unit rule was adopted unanimously at
the Democratic State Convention held
here in February.
"This action" said Mr.. Hoyt, twas
in accordance with precedent since
1876 and, l presume, much longer. The
only year when the state convention
did not adopt the unit rule was 1884,
when Daniel Manning was fearful of is
ability to control. The delegation it.
self subsequently adopted the unit rule
and cast the solid vote for Cleveland,
in spite of vigorous protest. The
Democratic party is the party of state

Campaign Chief
HereTonorrow
General, i'm Conference With
Managers, Is Expected to
Define the Status of
Hitchcock and Proctor
Adjustment Held Urgent
Former Postal Official Is
Declared Not in Race for
National Craftsmanship

General Leonard Wood, who finished
his pre-convention campaign in the
Indiana primaries last night, will be in
New York tomorrow to confer with
his Eastern and Southern managers
and others, and probably definitely de-
termine the status Of Frank II. Hitch
cock, his campaign general manager.
and that of Colonel William C. Proctor,
chairman of the Leonard Wood Ma
tional Campaign Committee, in the
further plans of the campaign.
AS related previously in The Tribune
ever since March 5, when Former Post
master General Hitchcock was called
into the campaign by General Wood
himself, there has been lack of har-
mony, or lack of understanding of
jurisdiction. between Mr. Proctor and
Mr.. Hitchcock. This condition, to some
extent has initiated against the sue
cess of the Wood campaign. Now that
the primaries are largely over and it
is apparent that General Wood, al
though with the largest number of
delegates, does not dominate the Chi
cago convention situation, the Eastern
managers united in requesting him to
come to New York, talk things over
and make an adjustment that will war
rant the conviction generally that his
interests are in safe keeping for the
final stages Of the contest in the ma
tional convention.
Will Ask Decision on Hitchcock
The Eastern managers are frankly
of the opinion that Colonel Procter's
ceneralship leaves something to be de-
sired. They will tell the general so in
the conference tomorrow. Probably
they will ask him to define the status
and duties of Mr. Hitchcock as general
so that from now until the
Chicago convention adjourns there will
be no Misunderstanding.
The conference tomorrow will be at

Wilson Supporters WiH
Control Texas Contention

DALLAS, Tex, May s.-Meager ad-
cratic precinct conventions, held to
elect delegates to county conventions
Tuesday, who in turn will select dele
gates to the Texas Democratic State
Convention May %, further emphasized
the overwhelming victory of that ele-
ment' Of the party favorable to the
national Administration. The unof-
fetal returns, with 141 precincts miss
ing, gave the forces Endorsing Pres
dent Wilson's Administration 1910 Of
the 1,4OO votes in the state convention,
while the figures for the anti-Adminis-
tration element, headed by former
United States Senator Joseph W.
Bailey, remained at forty-nine state
convention votes.
Tomorrow Democrats. in the more
than $50 Texas counties will meet in
county conventions and select 1,400
delegates to the state convention, in
structed, in accordance with the will
expressed by voters Of the precinct
ministration and it's policies.
In none of the available returns,
however, was preference expressed for
any candidate for the Democratic
Presidential nomination.
Charges of fraud and intimidation in
the precinct conventions and announce
ment that Bailey would stay in the
race for Governor of Texas "to the
end" were made in statement by
Luther Nickels, campaign manager
for Bailey. He declared that only
100000 Of the 100000 Texans ex-
pressed themselves AT the conventions
which overwh elmingly Endorsed Presi-
dent Wilson's Administration. The
forces led by Bailey sought to repudi.
ate the national Administration.
1.-THE overwhelming appearance OF
the convention results were due to the
precinct unit rule and are not sup.

cast in the conventions" Mr.. Nickels

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
ALBANY, May 3.-The Lusk- Sweet
Daily bills, which would curb the free
dom of religious and political express
sion and create secret service bureau
in the office of the Attorney General,
will come before Governor Smith for
hearing on Friday, May ID, at / o'clock
p. m.
In announcing his decision to have
a hearing, Governor Smith said he has
taken this action because of the flood
OF protests against the measures. More
than 500 letters have been received by
the Governor from representatives of
fraternal organizations, churches, edu-
Gators and private individuals.
Although the Governor will not dis
cuss the measures or reveal his atti-
tude toward them, It is understood that
ne does not look upon them with favor
and believes they should be vetoed.
Among those who objected to tho
enactment of the measures are several
Masonic organizations. In letter to
the Governor q high Masonic official
points out that the proposed laws
would compel fraternal organizations
to lay their entire rituals before the
BOARD OF regents.
Adelbert Moot, of Buffalo, former
president of the New York State Bar
Association, is bitterly opposed to the
measure giving the courts power to
determine the qualifications of a DO
litical party.
Injustice Is Feared
IL trust" he says in a letter to the
Governor, chat you will not make
yourself a party to this foolishness to
deprive the Socialist party of represen-
tation in the Legislature. Some So
cialists deserve to be put out, but to
Quaker because he is opposed to war.
"lf this measure is enacted you
bring the courts into politics. Imagine
what would have happened if law
like this had been on the statute books
at the time of the Civil War--it might
have outlawed the Democratic party
or resulted in the defeat of Lincoln
in his efforts to restore the Union"
The measure providing for loyalty
tests for school teachers is denounced
by Mr.. Moot as an insult to the great
body of loyal teachers"
Professor Frank H. Giddings, of Co.
lumbia College, writes to the Governor
and asks for the defeat of the measures
which would license schools and teach
ers and create an anarchy prosecution
bureau in the Attorney Generals office.
In regard to the latter proposal he
says that the idea Of secret police is
considered un-American and absurd by
all.
The measure licensing schools he
likens to the law enacted by Charles
II licensing printers, which he says
twas the most evil measure ever en-
acted by man."
He declares that loyalty tests for

tended by General Wood, Mr.. Hitch
cock, Norman j. Gould and Colonel
Thomas w. KILLER, the Eastern manager
and his assistant; United States SEN
ator George II. Moses, the Southern
manager; Frank Knox. of the Marches
ter, N. H., "union"; William Loeb, for
mer secretary to Colonel Roosevelt, and
perhaps one or two other prominent
Republicans.
General Wood has no speaking en-
gagements on this trip to New York,
and 1t Is understood he will give all
his time to conferences with local Re-
publicans, afterward returning to
Chicago.
One thing to be made clear at the
conference tomorrow is that Mr.. Hitch
cock never has been and is not now 81
candidate for the Craftsmanship of the
national committee in case General
Wood Is nominated for President. Per
sons close to General Wood have in
formed him that Mr.. Hitchcock should
not have sole direction u the cam
Paign to the end of the convention. as
ne was seeking Chairman Hays's place
as head of the national committee.
Wood to Get Nebraska Votes
General Wood, who twice has de-
clared that on account Of his brilliant
services Chairman Hays should be
continued at the head Of the national
committee, will learn tomorrow be-
You'd peradventure that Mr.. Hitch
cocks sole desire is to accomplish his
nomination in the Chicago convention,
and that to facilitate that, he, Hitch
cock, must have supreme control of the
political mechanics of the field opera
tions from now until the adjournment
of the convention.
1t Is assumed by the conferees that
ne Will have such control, and that
General Wood will accord the same as
soon as he obtains full information.
The Eastern Wood headquarters re-
celved telegram yesterday from the
Wood men in Nebraska saying that
after the first or second ballot Cen
eral Wood will receive fifteen of the
sixteen Nebraska delegation votes in the
Chicago Convention, the stray one
being that Of Burt Mapes, of Norfolk,
Neb:, who ran as a Pershing man, de.
feating the Wood candidate.
1t will be recalled that Senator John
sol carried the state, but that General
W God carried two of the Omaha Con-
gressionai districts, emitting him to
four of the sixteen delegates. 1t now
appears that the entire Wood slate
Of delegates, including the delegates
aat-large, with the sole exception Of
Mapes, the Pershing man, was elected.
Under the Nebraska law, the dele
gates will obey the voice Of the people
as expressed in the plurality vote OBJ
tanned by Senator Johnson, and eleven
Of the sixteen delegates will vote for
Johnson on the first ballot, after which,

slipping" they will follow their ma
tural bent, and, with the four other
pledged Wood men, vote for the gen
eral.
