CONDEMNED TORPEDO BOATS
MOORED TO CITY DOCK HERE

The second flotilla of condemned
torpedo boats to arrive in this port
within the past week was towed in
yesterday morning, three in number,
and moored to the city docks. They
were known by numbers only but
during the war had seen convoy
duty as the Rogers. Du Pont and
Delong, being removed from service
and stationed at the Philadelphia
Navy Yard at the time of the Armis-
tice.
Their future is a mystery but it
was rumored that they were being
taken to New London, Conn.,, to he
sold either for scrap or private use.
They appear rather delapidated but
with no one allowed below the decks
it is understood that their engines
and controlling machinery are in ex-
cellent condition.
The Du Pont, the largest of the
three, evidently saw service in the
Spanish-American War, for there is
an honor plate in the control turret
signifying a record of 80 knots an
hour off Sand Key, Fla, on January
10, 1898.
The length of their stay in this
city is not known but it is supposed
that they are only awaiting the ar
rival of the tugs.
1t was also rGmored that a large
monitor is now being brought UP but
whether it will be towed through
the inland route or take the outer
course is a question of doubt.

of the Red Cross, and that these
affairs were by the far the most
successful of their kind attempted
by the local chapter.

by national headquarters for the
week of November IL were discuss

HERBERT and APPtEBY
IN HOT CAMPAIGN
CONTINUED from page IL
What Thompson Said.

In his address before the club,
Mr.. Thompson dwelt on fair play TO
the ex-service men, child welfare
and the waste of the present De-
mocratic administration. He pre-
scented figures to prove that the pre-
sent administration was spending
money w~astefully. He was of the
opinion that many of the Office
holders in Washington at the present
time should be removed and soldiers
appointed in their places. He referred
to the League of Nations and the
good road question. He said he was
agains- the storing of high explosives
at Morgan or Camp Raritan and
congratulated the people of the
vicinity for the recovery they had
made from their experiences of the
explosion.
Herbert continued to base his
campaign on good roads and a
National Highway. He also urged
that the soldiers who fought in the
late war be given preference. He
held that the roads should not be
rebuilt at the entire expense of the
state. Other issues which have
marked MI. Herbert's campaign
throughout the district were brought
TO the attention Of the Matawan Re-
publican voters last night.
This is the first time during the
campaign that Thompson and Her
bert have met on the same plat
form to discuss the issues. About
forty or fifty were present at the
meeting which included five women.
1t was the opinion following the
meeting that Thompson had created
the best impression.

TRENTON, Sept. 10-With big or
atorical guns soon to be brought in
to this state by the political mana
gers on both sides, the campaign in
New Jersey may nov be said to be
warming up nicely. In less than
three weeks the primary election
will be held and after this is out of
the way and the congressional and
local county and municipal contests
within the party ranks settled, the
observers of things political look for
a stiffening of the lines along both
the Republican and Democratic
fronts. The primary election takes
place on Tuesday. September %.
If his work in the executive office
does not interfere Democratic lead
ers expect to see Governor Edwards
do some active campaigning in the
interest of Cox and Roosevelt and
the state candidates. Mr.. Edwards
has already been appearing before
county committees throughout the
state occasionally comforting and
discussing with them the issues of
the campaign.
Charles Evans Hughes comes into
the state a week from tomorrow to
address a Republican conference ar
ranged in this city. On that day he
will be the luncheon guest of Re-
publican State Chairman Stokes.
Among those invited to attend the
event are the former Republican
governors and acting governors,
Chief Justice of the State Supreme
Court Gummere, Chancellor +. r.
Walker, Associate Justice Mahlon
Pitney, of the u. S. supreme court,
a former colleague of Mr.. Hughes on
that bench; Supreme Court Justice
Trenchard and Vice Chancellor Bu-
chanan, both of this city and former
