Mr.. Bollschweiler said that he re-
ceived this communication from the

Saturday wrote him that although
he was appointed to the ofhce IN
December, 1913, he was not sworn
in until January 13, 1914. When ms

formed the attorney general that he

,on, to the office now occupied py
Mr.. Rollschweiler. The recommends
ton was sent to the attorney general
severa. days ago and it is still at the
department of justice awaiting the
approval of Mr.. Daugherty.
In the event of Mr.. Daugherty ap-
proving thu recommendation. and
there is now reason to suppose that
he will not, according to the Newark
newspaper, it will be necessary to
remove one other obstacle, as the
Democrats see it, Mr.. Bollschweller
himself. The Democrats contended
that his term is not out, but the Re-
publicans are working on different
system and in order to get rid OF
Democratic incumbepts are claiming
that the terms of office expire as
soon as the term of years. dating
from the original date of appoint
ment, is served. They argue thac
Mr.. Rollschweiler. fer instance. was
appointed to two terms in the office,
each extending over four years, and
that his term expires in 1921.
Consequently. to give this post to a
desirable and deserving Republican
Mr.. Bollschweiler will have to ge:

ark paper adds. that Mr.. Bolt-
schweiler will be accomm odating
and give the Republicans an oppor-
tunity to partake of the joys of the
job. Any unpleasantness would be
deplored. and Mr.. Bollschweiler has
before him the example of other
Democrats who have not been gra-
cious in yielding their jobs and have
heretofore been summarily removed
by the President, acting under the
inspiration of Mr.. Daughtery, who IL
the patronage dispenser of the ad'
ministration.

Hotel Guests Flee to Safety
in Early Morning Blaze

Smith and State streets at 2:4o
o'clock, Seiboth remained near the
fire alarm box No. 81 at the corner
and turned in the alarm when Act
ing Sergeant Jorgensen approached
the building and discovered the fire.
The two officers then proceeded
about their work of arousing the oc-
cupants of the building and in sew
eral instances found it necessary to
break in doors in order to awaken
sleepers. The difficulty in getting
the guests out of the hotel delayed
the process for so long a time that
the last portion of the work was ac-
complished in the midst of dense
clouds of smoke that hindered the
policemen and frightened the awak
ened sleepers. Jorgensen and Sieboth
remained in the building until as
sured that every one was out.
Fifteen guests were forced to leave
the hotel attired scantily in night
clothes.
Starting in the cellar the fire rap
idly spread through the building 1t
self and before it was gotten under
control by. the fire department the
flames destroyed much of the rear
of the hotel. The ground floor was
divided into a poolroom containing
at least a dozen tables. a barber
shop and shoe shining stand. The
contents of the two rooms are prac-
ticaIly a total loss as the result of
the combination of fire and water.
The adjoining establishment. the
Boston Confectionery. suffered from
smoke and water. The damage is
put at $4,000 by Gus Pappas. the
owner of the store.
The hotel property is owned by
Richard Martin, of 165 Kearny ave-
nue.. and the loss is believed to be
partially covered by insurance.

rear of the building at 2:25 O'Clock
yesterday morning, about twenty
minutes before the flames were dis
covered. George Simas has been
arrested and is paroled until want
ed. Patrolman Nolan noticed Simas
coming out of the hotel early in
the morning and wondering why he
should be UP at that hour. ques-
toned him. Simas maintained that
he had left by the rear door be-
cause the front entrance was lock-
ed and he also stated that he was
going to take an early morning
walk.
Nolan became suspicious when
the fire was discovered short time
later and started a search for Simas
which ended in the mans arrest on
suspicion as he was standing In

gress of the blaze. Simas is report

FAVOR RUNYON
At WASHINGTON
N. J. congressman Believe
Runyon Will Secure G. O.
P. Nomination
BY GEORGE HI. MANNING
washington Correspondent OF the
Perth Amboy Evening News)

WASHINGTON, Nov. est is
the almost unanimous opinion OF the
New Jersey congressman that VIII
liam n. Runyon of Union will secure
the Republican gubernatorial nomi-
nation at the primaries next Sep
tember.
Thev also believe, a careful can
vass discloses, that Senator Edge
will before long throw his support
to Runyon, although he would per-
sonally favor Senator William IS
Mackay of Bergen for the nomina-
ton. This opinion of the Jersey
congressman is based on their belief
thai Senator Edge will shortly real
ize that Runyon will obtain me
nomination either with or without
his support and that the senior Jer-
sew senator is too astute politician
TO back Senator Mackay when he
knows that Runyon will be the VIC
tor in any event. leaving him back
ing a loser and discredited as the
biggest political influence in New
Jersey.
Jersey politicians in Washington
are expecting that shortly some KIND
of a deal will be made through
which the Edge forces will rally
back of Senator Runyon in order TO
prevent the total loss OF state pa
tronage that might follow Runyon'
success over opposition of the Edge
following.
lis we'll known that Senator Edge
would like TO back Senator Mackay
and see him elected as the next gov
ernor of New Jersey. He has l.
ways been more friendly with Sem
ator Maokay than with Senator
Runyon, although on good terms
with the latter. His position up 10
this time has been that he is not
putting forward a candidate but is
waiting to hear who the people want.
The Jersey congressman say that II
that is the senator's position he must
soon come out for Runyon because
it will be perfectly plain to all in
a little while that the Union county
man is the public's choice.

Endangered by Conflict
Bv the Atociasea Press.

ARIS. July 1.-THE conflict
between the Paris Municipal
Council and the French Olym-
pic Committee over the choice of
location for the 1924 Olympiad is en-
dangering the Olympic games, so far
as Paris is concerned, Frantz Reichel,
secretary of the Olympic Committee,
said to-day.
The selection of a place where the
games are to be held, he declared,
lies exclusively with the committee.
which meets next Tuesday, and un-
less the council recedes from what
the committee terms its "dictatorial
position" the organization of the
games will be abandoned.
II Is argued by the committee that
Pershing Stadium. which was desig-
mated as the field for the games In
a recommendation adopted by the
Municipal Council yesterday. is too
small to accommodate crowds for
local meets and will be woefully in
adequate for the Olympic contests.
The committee also resents the
Council making decision without
consulting the committees members.
So far as economy is concerned, the
committee rr1aintains II would cost
nearly as much TO repair and enlarge
Pershing Stadium as to build a new
stadium.
