The Cunard liner Aquitania, from
Southampton, which was to have
brought Premier Lloyd George to this
country for the Washington confer
ence, came into Quarantine yesterday
with 1889 passengers, but did not dis
embark them until 1880 p. m.
She carried 1000 sacks of mail and
the discharge of tbs large cargo in
the lower bay delayed her arrival at
the pier.
Among her saloon passengers was
ex-Justice Townsend Scudder, of Mas
sau County, the Democratic nominee
for the Court of Appeals, who was de-
the choice of the Republicans, who re-
turned after a brief journey to Switz-
erland, where he had gone on trip
for the Masonic order. of which he is
a Past Grand Master of New York.
When Justice Scudder landed he
sauntered over to his baggage and with
q smile informed his friends that he
had learned of his defeat. In "The
Cunard Daily Bulletin" of Friday he
read at the bottom of the account of
the Hylan victory one significant SEN
tence, which read: "On the state ticket
William S. Andrews was elected Judge
of the Court of Appeals"
"Well," he said, Il guess I will have
to resume the practice of law 1t is
interesting, but | must admit public

seeks publicity and does not get it.
There are some things that we can
receive with smile and toss off light
There are others that hit us hard, and
! must say that in this class was the
death of Justice Squires, of Brooklyn.
l heard of his passing and it was a
great shock to me. He was one of the
last friends to bid me goodby the night
before | sailed"
Justice Scudder said he was pleased
and not surprised at the reelection of
Borough President gelmann of Brook
lyn. He said he had been an able and
constructive borough head and deserved
retention in Office.
The Right Hon. Lord Riddell, owner
of the London weekly, "The News of
the Week." came over, he said, to act
as liaison official between the British
delegation to the Washington confer
ence and the representatives of the
British press. He said he also represent
ed the Newspaper Proprietors' Assoca-
tion of Great Britain, which included
practically all publications of the
empire.
81 am here" he said, "to watch over
the British press. l am in favor of
wide publicity. l stood for that at the
peace conference in Paris, and had to
make representations for the Ameri-
can as well as the British press. 1t will
be unfortunate if this conference re-
solves itself into a talking machine
The conference will not be judged by
what it says but by what it does Del

on all final conclusions, and they should
