Refuses TO Answer Query.
The Assucieted prosE

By The Associated Press
LONDON, Dec. Premier Gio-
litti of Italy, speaking in the cham
ber of deputies in Rome yesterday,
refused TO answer a question, ask
ingswhether the government intend
ed to take military measures against
Captain Gabriel d'Annunzio in
Fiume, said a Rome dispatch to the
London Times.
The government" he declared,
"is anxious TO hasten final ratifica-
ton of the Rapallo treaty with Jugo-
Slavia, which already has been ap-
proved by the chamber and will be
submitted to the senate December
q"
While General Caviglia's regulars
have thrown Gordon around
Fiume, only small incidents thus far,
have been reported, said Milan
dispatch to the Times. Every ef-
fort will be made by the regulars,
it is said, to induce the followers of
d'Annunzio to desert.
The dispatch quotes a telegram
from Trieste to the effect that reg
ular Alpini and some of d'Annun-
zio's men exchanged shots and hand
grenades when the latter crossed
into Italian territory proper. A few
regulars were captured by dan
nunZio's soldiers at an advanced
post on the road to Cantriva. The
garrison on the island on Veglia
held by men loyal to the poet-sol-
dier has been reinforced.

TRENTON. Dec. 1--Astute use of
the agencies of the New Jersey Anti
Saloon League in behalf of the cam
didacy of Asse emblyman-elect George
s. Hobart, of Essex, won the day for
the -Kean- Stokes combination
here yesterday over the supporters
of House Leader Henry G.. Hersh-
field. of Passaic. who was backed by
the lieutenants of Senator Edge. On
the second ballot Hobart won thirty
votes. a majority of the fifty-nine,
thus giving him the honor place in
the House for the session of 1921.
Hershfield had twenty EIGHT votes on
the second ballot.
Hobart is a pronounced dry" and
Hershfield is ardently wet" Thus
the issue on the liquor question was
easily made clear cut when the op-
ponents of Hershfield started to use
it to defeat his candidacy. The Rev.
James X. Shields. state superintend-
ent of the Anti-Saloon League Came
here in person yesterday and took
a hand in the fight to land Hobart
winner. Shields was seen confer
ring with Frank Patterson, who was
| representing Baird. Frank Book, the
Essex Republican leader, and vari'
Gus other political geperals OF the
| party who were directing the con
test for the Essex county candidate
The caucus was open and they were
inter esting spectators of the two bal
lots which were taken.
''Drys" Scared Back.
The presence of Shields was suf-
ficient to scare back into the anti
saloon fold those ''drys" who had
given Hershfield their word of homo;
that they would be with him. Prob
| ably one of the most conspicuous
and interesting of these was the Rev
A. Lincoln Moore. the minister-As'
sembiyman<elect from Hunteftlor
county. On both roll calls he voted
for Hobart. After the battle, the
Hershfield forces produced a letter

Lyons To be on House
Steering Committee

Assemblyman Pierson, of Un-
ion county, who was one of the
aspirants for the House speaker
honors, has been made chairman
or the steering committee which
will fill the various vacancies oc-
curing in state offices at the
first of the year. According to
Assemblyman Edward j. Peter
son, of this city, one Middlesex
county man is on the steering
committee. he being Assembly
man c.. Raymond Lyons, of New
Brunswick. With this county
represented on the committee
which has charge of the appoint
ments, it is thought likely here
that Middlesex will be wen
taken care of. Owing to the fact
that there is only one Democratic
assemblyman this year, however.
all parts of the state will be rep
resented in the assembly by Re-
publicans, with the result that ali
will wish to be remembered
when the appointments are be-
ing handed out.

GENEVA, Dec. IA letter 10
President Wilson accepting his Of
fer to act as mediator in Armenia
was being drafted by the council
of the league of nations here today.
Mr.. Wilson's note which was re-
ceived this morning, was read to
members of the council at 1880
o'clock and was received with
marks of liveliest satisfaction.
President Wilson's acceptance of
the role of mediator in Armenia.
which was just known to most of
the delegates to the assembly of the
League of Nations when they went
to bed here last night. created a
great impression when it was an
nounced today.
Europe Less Abandoned.
Poor old Europe will feel less
abandoned was a remark made by
a member of the French delegation
while discussing the matter. The
news gave the assembly great conf
dence, as the Armenian question
had became the bugbear of the as
sembly. Many delegates regretted
1t had been brought up in partic-
ular form that would have exposed
the league tc censure in case a me-
diator had not been found.
There Is much speculation as tc
the formal mediation on behalf oil
Armenia. A. J. Balfour, a leader OF
the British delegation, remarked to
the assembly the other day that in
order to negotiate it would be nee.

| ot.Ir te
connection with Mr.. Wilson'S KNOW
opposition TO the, disposition made
of some parts of the territory OF
| Turkey by the Seyres treaty.
! Prediction is made here that In
the end the Greeks may pay the
| price for saving what remains OF
the Armenian people.
President Wilson's action is a
big step toward a solution of one OF
the most serious problems before
the assembly," was the way Lord
Robert Ceci. characterized the Am
erican presidents acceptance.
Wonderful News
THAT is wonderful news" he de-
clared when the information &as
given him. 1T brings relief to all
of us who are trying to find a way
to help the Armenians out of the
difficulty. Mr.. Wilson's acceptance
is commendable and worthy of the
best traditions of the United States
which have always been a friend OF
Armenia. and taken the lead in al
leviating her suffering.
''The decision of President Wilson
is not in any sense political from,
my point of view, and cannot give
encouragement to all those who
wish to see the United States in the
league. 1t is simply natural de-
velopment of an old humanitarian
policy"
