[By Evening News Correspondent.


TRENTON, Aug. S.-Several live"

structor in home economics at the
State College, salary $1.S00.
There was no opposition to any OF
the county superintendent. Owing
to the fact that Commissioner En-
right is new in that office he was
unfamiliar with a rule of the board
that a memorandum of all appoint
ments to Office should be sent to the
board members in advance, and such
advance notice had not been given.
Following a previous skirmish over
resolution of Col. d. Stewart Craven
of Salem, Col. Craven now insisted
that the rule referred to be enforced

The resolution for the appointment
of Miss Shank and Miss Wagner
kicked UP a real rumpus. 1t was
offered by ex-Judge William f. Nor

Vocational Training Committee, who
said it had been mailed to him by
Roy l.. Shaffer, the new assistant
commissioner of education j charge
of this work, with a request to have

jected to this method. He continued:

NEW BRUNSWICK, Aug. s.
The MiddleseX county board OF
elections is in session today, Hnlsh-
ing up the work incident to the
arrangements for the September
primaries. At today's meeting rep
resentatives of the various munich
palities will present names of the
district election boards, and the
location of the polling places for
the approval of the county board.
A communication was received re-
ouesting that a change be made IN
the location of the polls in a High
land Park district. Last year the
polling places were in the Irving
school, on the outskirts of the dis
trict, and complaint was made or
the inconvenience caused by this
condition. The board consented to
the change in the polls and the new
location at Seventh avenue and
Woodbridge avenue was designated
as the point for the polling place
for this year.
No appointments to the district
election boards will be made today
but the county board will obtain lists
from the various districts and make
the appointments by the 18th.
Monday morning of next week has
been selected as the day when the
election board will tour the county
and inspect the polling places for ap-
proval before the primaries. Lists
of polls are not complete as yet but
the clerks of the board will get in
touch with the district boards imme-
diately regarding the situations OF
the polls. in view of the fact that
approval and selections must be
made by the goth of August.
The county board also took action
this morning to arrange a conference
with the Board of Education in re-
gard to the complaints made last
year after the use of the schools as
polling places. The objection of the
school board was based upon the fact
that the buildings were left in a very
dirty condition after election.

returning from the shore slowly

Paris. Aug. S.-Consultations rel
ative te-the upper Sifesia question
took place today between members
of various governments prelimin-
ary to the first session of the Su-
preme council this afternoon. 1t was
hoped to present the views of Italy.
France and England on the Silesian
question.
Premiers BRAND and Lloyd George
dined together last night 1t is be-
lieved they hoped to settle differences
of their governments on different
questions. particularly the Silesian
case.
1t is understood the British gov
ernment's plan to solve Silesia's S
trouble is to give the Pless and Ryd-
MAX sections to Poland, and it is
said Lloyd George has expressed
the opinion that any other solu-
ton would create a new Alsace-
Lorraine.
France would draw the frontier
between Poland and Germany along
the Oder river. it being asserted
that such an award would be in
line with the result of the plebicite
held in upper Silesia.
Italy represented what might be
called middle ground. suggesting
that the line be placed east of the
oder river, but to give some of the
mining districts to the Poles.
Interest in the meeting was inten-
sified by the presence of George
Harvey. American representative.
The first subject on the program
for the council was the question
whether re-enforcements should be
sent to Silesia.
Am bassador Harvey had n long
conference with the representative
of the United States on the repara-
tions committee, and later Colonel
Harvey called on Sir Robert Horn,
chancellor of the British exchequer,
who will represent Great Britain at
the final meeting of the powers.
