S|LZER QUITS
COURT BENCH
Will Devote All Time to Cam
paign for Governor Against
Runy0n
WHO WILL GET HIS JOB?
Judge Daily Mentioned Most
Prominently for Circuit
Court Position

TRENTON, Sept. S.-Resignation
of Circuit Court Judge George S.
Si,zer, nominated Tuesday as the
Democratic candidate for governor,
has been sent to Governor Edwards
to take effect at once, it was an
nounced here today. Having left
the bench, Judge Silzer is expected
to get actively into the campaign
against William N. Rrnyon. his Re-
publican opponent and is scheduled
to appear at the Trenton Fair along
with other candidates today.
The resignation Of Judge Silzer
now puts the question of the appoint
ment of a successor up to Governor
Edwards. The governor may ap-
point a new judge ad interim until
the next session Of the legislature
when he can send in name for
permanent judgship to be confirmed
by the senate, or he might call a
special session of the upper house to
act on a permanent appointment
now.
In view of the senate's past policy
of refusing to confirm Governor Ed
wards appointees to South Jersey
judgships in the hope that Senator
Runyon, a Republican, will be the
next governor, it is unlikely that Ed
wards could get a permanent ap-
pcintment confirmed. The present
Republican senate seems to be play
ing the game so as to get as many
Republicans in office as possible.
Judge Silzer's present term of five
years began only last January SO that
the appointment of a successor Will
be for a substantial time and worth
going after.
Judge Silzer was appointed cir
cult court judge by Governor Field
er in 1914 and re-appointed by Gov
ernor Edwards in January of this
year. His circuit includes Union.
Passaic, Somerset, Warren and Sus-
sex counties and for two years the
Judge sat also in Bergen and Morris
counties. He has tried many i'm
portant cases and is said to have
larger calendar than any other Cir
cult court judge in the state having
tried as many as $40 cases in one
term.
If the governor fails to appoint
a successor at once Chief Justice
Gummere of the supreme court may
turn some of the cases on the pres
ent calendar Of the Silzer circuit over
to some common pleas judge or may
ask assistance from other circuit
court judges.

GET COURT ORDER TO Dig
UP MRS Mills BODY,
SAME MOVE FOR RECTOR
Start Anew to Solve Murder
of Church Singer and Rec
tor at County Seat

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. rs
Supreme Court Justice Parker last
night signed an order permitting the
exhuming of the body of Mrs. Flea
\nor Reinhardt Mills who was MUIR
tdered two weeks ago together with
Rev. Edward Wheeler Hail, local
rector at farm near TINS city
The body of Mrs. Mills was buried
in Van Liew cemetery, near MILL
town, and since that time ques-
ton has arisen with regards to the
number of times she was shot ano
the calibre of bullet which causeo
her death. 1t is probable that the
body will be exhumed today so that
an autopsy might be performed
which will definitely settle the
points over which there now exls1s
q difference of opinion. !.
In the meantime appncatloh IL
being made to the Kings county
New York, supreme court 1or an Or
der pernitting the exhuming of REV.
Mr.. Halls body in order that an au-
topsy might also be performed upon
it.
With reference to the letter writ
ten by Charlotte Mills, sixteen yeai
old daughter of the murdered wo-
man to Governor Edwards. asking
him to assist in finding the slayer
Prosecutor Stricken this morning
said he could not see what the gov
ernor could do in the case. I-e also
said that he could see no good reason
why outsiders should be asked to
assist in solving the mystery, this
statement apparently having Heen
made because of the offer made oy
q New York newspaper this morn
ing to furnish the services OF a IA
nous criminologist If the Middle
sex and Somerset county authorltles
desired his assistance.
During the past thirty years nc
murder mystery in Middlesex coun'
~ has gone unsolved, Prosecutor
HSfricker said, and he felt that the
county officials could handle thl!
Vase to a successful solution with
but outside assistance. We were
Pouestioned about the Salamander'
Walsh bootleg murder case whicf
occurred near Rocky Hill about two
wears ago in which the men were
murdered. The prosecutor said thu!
case was not unsolved as far as hl'
Office was concerned. The mystery
was untangled but the county wa!
never able to produce sufficient lega
evidence to result in a conviction
Mr.. Stricken said.
"Willie" Stevens. eccentric broth
err Of Mrs. Hall, was again question
ed today by Prosecutor Beekman
OF Somerset county. An examlna
ton was also made of two suits o.
s.Willie's'' clothing which had beer
sent to the dry cleaners since tn
murder and were just received b!
him. The examination failed te
disclose any signs OF stains or
struggle, 1t was said.
Peter Tennyson, chauffeur II
Mrs, Halls employ. was taken u
the prosecutors office this Afternoon
and at once admitted for question
ing. The nature of his examina

wives and lady friends of the mem
bers of the two clubs were also
present. Following the dinner. the
members went to the park and en-
loved the music by the best band IN
the world.
During the repast Aylin Person
president of the Rotary Club, said a
few words concerning the work nee
essary to plan for the day and bring
the Marine band here and how the
idea had presented itself that the
Boy Scout debt might be wiped out
and how this had been accomplish
ed. There were no other speakers.
ARRANGEMENTS at the park could
not have been more ideal. and the
large crowd was well handled. The
work of the police and Boy Scouts
in maintaining order is a matter ol
much favorable comment.
The bandstand, which was erect
ed in the center of the park, Wa'
constructed under the direction o1
Alderman Robert A. Mcclure in co
operation with the park commissi on
the mayor and other city ofiiclals
Tie lighting arrangements were
something out of the ordinary, spe'
ci; lights having been strung BY
City Electrician Jay FRANKIE for the
occasion. A new type of arc ligh
was used which turned the darkness
of the park into daylight.
The playing of the band is some
thing that will be remembered toi
some years to come. 1t was a trea
that comes only once in the lifetime
of the average citizen. 1t is seldom
that this organization gives free con

Will DAILY Get job?

The resignation of George S. Sill
ger, Democratic candidate for gov
ernor, as circuit court judge, mas
been the means of creating consld-
cradle talk and expectation as TO
who will be appointed to I'LL the
vacancy. Some weeks ago after
Judge Silzer announced that ne
would be a candidate, he said ne
would resign from the bench as soon
as he had the work in hand so that
he could do so. The rendering or
the resignation therefore. has not
created any unwarranted surprise.
Among the men which have been
suggested as possible appointees to
the circuit court bench to fill the va
cancy caused by the resignation OF
Judge Silzer. has been that of Coun-
ty Court Judge Peter F. DAILY. Judge
Daly is known to stand high in the
opinion of Governor Edwards and IL
also considered one of the most pro-
minent Democratic leaders in this
section of the state. He is also a
close friend of Judge Silzer, and
there is little doubt but that he can
have the circuit judgship If he COW
cts that appointment.
Should Judge Daily receive the ap-
pointment to the circuit cour'
bench it would leave a vacancy In
the county court which the gov
ernor will be called upon to fill
Those who profess to know some OF
the inside workings, suggest as then
opinions that the most likely mar
to be named a. county Judge woulc
be John A Coan of South Amboy
former assistant prosecutor of Mid
dlesex county.
AS Judge Silzer still had abou'
four years to serve on the circul,
court bench before hisS term woulc
have expired. the appointment
would be worth striving for. and FOL
this reason it is believed that Gov
ernor Edwards will appoint som'
one as judge for the time being ant
allow the vacancy to go untitled.

EXPECT CLASH
WITH TURKS
British Expect Armed Conflict
With Turkish Forces at
Any Time
SITUATION Is GRAVE
Cabinet Meets in London to
Discuss MatterS---Turk
Reply is Evasive

LONDON, Sept. 2S.-(By The AS
sociated Press s)-British government
circles today took a grave view of
the situation in the DardanelleS,
which was regarded as so critical
as to overshadow the revolutionary
development in Greece. The opinion
was expressed that there Is great
prospect of fighting between the
British and Turkish nationalists
than at any previous time.
The cabinet was convened this
morning to consider a message from
Brigadier General Harrington, COM
manding the allied forces in Con-
stantinople, and to summarize Mus
tapha Kemal Pasha's reply to Gen
era, Harrington's warning against
violation of the neutral zone along
the straits.
The reply was considered to be
evasive and ambiguous.
Two views may be taken of Mus
| tapha Kemars intention. 1t is stated
| One Is that under the cover of his
cavalry he may be bringing up artil-
lery and materials, and doing ali he
can to compel the British to fire the
first shot.
The less serious view is that he /:
truthful in his statement that ht
does not know where the neutra
zone extends.
1t is pointed out that Genera
Harrington is laboring under tire
mendous responsibility. He ha'
l. en- told to do all possible to avoit
| war, but to use his own judgmen
regarding the necessity of fightin,
to maintain the British edicts.
1t is understood he has the full
backing of the government which
will support any action he takes.
In his reply Mustapha Kemal say
| the Angora government does no
recognize any neutral zone. He com
| plains about Greek warships an
| chored near Constantinople. anC
also about the action of the Britisl
| troops in the region around Chanal
on the southern shore of the straits
Allegations are made that th'
British destroyed Turkish roads AM
| homes.
Mustapha Kemal also claims .h'
right to cross the so-called neutra
zone and to enter eastern Thrace
where, he claims, the Greeks are
killing the Turkish inhabitants. HI
concludes by saying he hopes tt
avoid any conflict with the British
