NEW MOVE TO GUST
DILL seen At TRENTON

TRENTON. Dec. 29.-Following
last nights conference of the Repub'
lican legislative leaders, the talk was
heard here today that another at
tempt is to be made to GUST Motor
Vehicle Commissioner Dill. The ru-
NOR has it that the plan will be a
bipartisan n to "Set" the com.
missioner, who about three years age
emerged the hero OF a Legislative
battle, then to take the job away
from him.
Assuming that he is reappointed
in 1925 by Secretary of State Mar
tin, under whom he serves, Dill
would be sure of seven more years
in the states service at $4,000 a
year. The proposed change is to
divorce the motor vehicle depart
ment from the jurisdiction of Sec
rotary of state, make it a separate
state agency and provide a salary
Of $500 a year, which would be
more in keeping with the impor-
lance of a department bringing in
approximately S4.000,000 a year.
The plan contemplatss the appoint
ment to be made by the governor
for the commissionership and, 1t Is
said, the Republicans bank on Gov
ernor-elect Silzer not remaining Dill,
the cause of alleged friendliness to
the Runyon candidate in tho last
campaign
Threatened with a rundown by
the Democrats in 1920, when he
wanted to be renamed with Secre-
tary of State Martin in that year, Dill
found himself between two fires.
The G.. o. P. leaders learning of the
Democratic attitude decided to take
the department away from Martin
and give Dill's job to one OF their
own fold.
