ment, it was made plain today, is
strongly opposed TO the proposed
morato rum for Germany's debts to

GALV|N'S ELECTION NOW
PRACTICALLY ASSURED
BY Big GAIN MADE
Recount Likely to be Com
pIeted by Tomorrow by
County Board
CALVIN VOTE GAINING
Will Stand Unless Big Gains
Are Made by Wester in
Other Polls

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. 20
The election of Richard ]. Calvin,
Democrat, as alderman-at-large to
succeed John N Wester, Republi-
can, In Perth Amboy, is now practi-
cally assured as the result of the re-
count, which it is believed will be
completed tomorrow afternoon. The
original returns from the district
boards in PERTH Amboy showed Gal
vim q winner by ten votes. The re-
count has resulted in Calvin increas-
ing this number instead of Wester
decreasing it and it is generally ad-
mitted by Republican leaders that
unless some unexpected gains are
made in the first ward recount, Gal
wins election will stand.
The recount of the two polls of
the third ward was completed yes
terday afternoon and resulted in
Calvin gaining possibly seven votes.
The first poll of the third ward, In
the original count, gave Calvin 191
and Wester 22S. The recount figures
we're: Calvin 1876 with six referred
and Wester 224 with five referred.
The second poll of the third ward
gave Calvin 2S1 and Wester III In
count shows Calvin with 2S5 and
two referred and Wester with 166
and four referred. Here it was that
Calvin made his gain, the actual
vote showing him to gain nine votes
but Wester had two more ballots re-
ferred than Calvin, making it possi-
BILE to decrease this margin to seven.
The total third ward vote for Gal
vim and Wester in the original count
was Calvin 472 and Wester 500. a
difference of seventy-three votes.
The recount figures give Calvin All
with eight referred and Wester 800
with nine referred. This shows a
gain of eight votes for Calvin with
out taking into consideration the re-
terred ballots, on which Wester has
,ne more than Calvin. These being
allowed Calvin will have gained
seven votes in the third ward.
One of the Calvin ballots refer
ed in the third ward had the fol-
lowing words written in the space
opposite the names OF the excise
commissioners:
81 think the City of Perth Amboy
should be able to get along without
4 Board of Excise Commissioners.
The writing caused the ballot to
be rejected by the board and refer
led to Justice James j. Bergen.

FRENCH MEET ITALIANS

WASHINGTON, Nov. % (By The
Associated Press) The meeting
today of the big five" naval experts,
the first general conference of the
naval men scheduled for nearly a
week, was postponed until tomorrow
at the request of one of the delega-
tion. No official statement as to the
reason for the postponement or the
delegation making the request was
given.
In the first authoritative an
ncuncement made Japan has sought
to replace the "5-5-3" ratio basis OF
the American limitation proposal,
giving her a sixty per cent. status
with a seventy per cent. ratio for
her fleet. Vice Admiral kato de-
clared this was the minimum neces-
sary for Japan's security.
Against this definite announcement
of the japanese position the Aneri-
can naval experts still gave every
indication today of firm adherence
to the view that sixty per cent. for
Japan is the maximum naval stress
that could be accepted in view OF
the American liability and interests
in the Pacific.

James Craig is quoted as saying.
What we say is. let the Sim Fein

proof of it's fairness and impartiality
toward the southern Unionists. Then.
in the course of time, the two Irish
