was filled. They said they would
return later in the day.

was opposed to any further delay
and indicated that 1t was his de-
sire to present his views to the
executive. He reiterated that the
Legion would not be drawn into
any discussion of ways and means
for raising the necessary funds.
On leaving the White House,
both Mr.. Mondell and Mr.. Ford
ney said the house would pass

again to expected savings in the
next fiscal year, but he would not
give an estimate as to what this

what views the president had ex-
pressed.

FUTILE QUITS
STATE CONTEST
Clear Field for Judge SiIzer--
III Health Forced This AC-
ton by Tuttle

TRENTON, Sept. 5.-Banking and
Insurance Com missioner William e.
Tuttle, Jr., today notified the secre-
tary of state that he had withdrawn
from the primaries for the Demo-
cratic nomination for governor.
The letter of declination dated to-
day, reads:
Il hereby resign as a candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
governor and request that certifica-
ton to this effect be made to the
county clerks so that my name may
be eliminated from the official bal
lots"
Commissioner Tuttle's action in
withdrawing from the race was
prompted by the demands of his
told him that if complete recovery IS
to be had there must be an imme-
date cessation of activities.
In connection with the resignation
the commissioners brother, Alfred
d. Tuttle. of Westfield, gave out the
following statement:
"Only the threat of permanent
physical disability could have per
suaded my brother to withdraw from
this contest a this time. Moved
and heartened by the loyal support
of Democrats in all parts of the
state. it had been one of the ambl-
tions of his life to be worthy of the
great confidence reposed in him. The
doctors, however. have become in
sistent during the past few days and
it was finally absolutely necessary
for me to use my persuasion to have
him consent to this step. In the
circumstances it was the only thing
he could do, much as he opposed it,"
The illness of Commissioner Tut
tie began Sunday, August 27. After
a days campaigning in Gloucester
county he returned TO Westfield and
about o'clock in the morning was
seized with severe attack of what
he thought neuritis. For time he
was in a serious condition. This de-
veloped into acute inlammatory
rheumatism, centering in both of his
hands.
Gradually his condition became
worse. but the plans for his cam
paign continued. Just previous to
the demand of his doctors that he
throw everything from his mind.
Commissioner Tuttle had completed
plans for one of the most elaborate
advertising campaigns in the history
of New Jersey politics. His enthusi-
asm and anxiety to get this under
way probably affected his condition
materially.

Peculiar occurrences featured the
races arranged by the regatta COM
mittee of the Keyport Yacht Club
yesterday. These events were the
fourth of a series being held under
the auspices of the Raritan Bay
Yacht Racing Association.
In the first event on the program,
the sailboat race, the Elsie captain
ed by Vad Curtiss of Keyport sprang
aleak and almost went down. In
this same race the Nadia, owned by
Louis Compton of this city, was un-
able to complete the race because of
lack of water on the course. The
raca was run at low tide and the
Perth Amboy boat grounded three
times. The Tempest won first hon
ors in this race, the Dart of Keyport
finished second and the Indian OF
this city captured third honors. The
Indian is the property of e. j.
Waring and was sailed by Nelson
Macan.
While the scratch speed boat race
was in progress the attention of the
spectators was called to the manner
in which the Mongrel, belonging to
Pierre A. Proal of Red Bank, was
circling about in one spot. 1t was
later learned that in making sharp
turn the occupants were thrown in
the water and the rudder turned.
causing the boat to circle about.
After circling around about ten
times the boat ran up on adjoining
land and came near hitting horse
doing farm work. The Cadillac own
ed by J. J. Boland of Keyport won
