ISSUES SEEM
To Be IGNORED
Borough Jobs Seem to Go
Begging During Recent
Election Campaign
BOROUGH HAS ISSUES
But Candidates on Both Sides
Are Not Inspired Expect
Heavy Vote

METUCHEN, Oct. 27.-An elec-
ton without an issue will confront
the voters of the borough in the To-
cal contest which is to be staged on
November Z, the only offices to be
filled being that of councilman for
which each party has two candidates
in the field.
The failure of the candidates to
make an issue of any of the very
important matters that should be of
interest to the citizens of the town
comes as somewhat surprise, as it
Is generally accepted fact that the
growth and prosperity of the com
munity has been seriously retarded
by the lack of initiative displayed
by the officials together with the
lack of civic pride usually displayed
in a present day American town by
its citizens.
While the borough formerly
known as the "brainy" one is admit

fellow townsman, the standard bear

The contest for election to the
council will no doubt be fought out
along party lines as none of the
candidates have seen fit to come for
ward with any clear cut issues which
If carried to the polls on election
day would tend to work for the good
of the town.
Phineas M. Jones is a candidate
for reelection on the Republican
ticket, and has as his running mate
Luther E. Riddle, Jr., while Harry
Raymond and Daniel ] .Maloney are
seeking the honors on the Demo
cratic ticket. Some Of the candidates
are reported as having progressive
ideas on which they had intended
some unexplained reason were eau
toned against expressing themselves
before election.
Among the issues that could prop
erly come before the voters at this
time, any one of which is sadly
needed are the construction OF a
sanitary sewer system, the extension
of water mains in the sections here
tofore without service, a water pres
sure suitable to combat serious
conflagration, a fire department un-
der the control of the borough, an
effort to lower insurance rates which
have been recently raised on ac-
count Of the failure of the authori-
ties to provide fire protection, po-
locemen enough to adequately. pa

pair the streets that in the past
have been sadly neglected.
The present council stands hve
Republicans to one Democrat mem
ber, and will remain the same If the
Republicans are successful, but In
the event that the two Democrats
are elected the body would be even
ly divided on party lines with the
Republican mayor having the decid'

Disappearance of Eye-Wit-
ness to Hall Mills Murder
Adds to Mystery
HER SON is At HOME
New Brunswick Now Starts to
Doubt Story Told by
Woman

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 1S----
Mrs. Jane Gibson, who claims to
have been an eye witness to tne
Hall-Mills murders on the night Of
September IA. has disappeare1.
When efforts were made TO reach
her at her home, near the Phillips
farm on which the bodies of the
slain rector and his choir leader
were discovered six weeks ago to-
day, newspaper men We're solld she
had gone to Pennsylvania
Despite the statement made by
Special Deputy Attorney General
Wilbur A. Mott, in charge OF the in
yestigation, yesterday that Mts-
Gibson's story of witnessing the
murder was creditable, the general
feeling about New Brunswick today
was that her story could not be r4-
lied upon. 1t was said that Mrs.
Gibson. since becoming the leading
light in the murder mystery, had
exclusive interviews and sellirs
pictures of herself and mule.
Joseph G. Bair, neighbor of Mrs
Gibson's, who is a teacher in a New
York high school, is quoted as say
ing the people in that vicinity do
not like Mrs. Gibson and have nct.
trusted her. Bair is said to hdve as
serted Mrs. Gibson had pointed our
three different men at different times
referring to each as her husband.
The name of the young man living
with her is thought to be Eastman
and not Gibson, Bair is reported to
have said.
Mrs. Gibson and her son are un-
derstood to be under instructions
from the prosecutors office not to
talk to newspapermen on what they
know OF the murder. The disap-
pearance of Mrs. Gibson. it Is points
ed out, may have been a means OF
her getting away from those seek
| ing information.
County Detective David, of Mid
dlesex, and County Detective Totten
of Somerset were active about New
Brunswick this morning but nothing
could be learned of the cause Of this
sudden activity on their part. Al
though first reports this morning
were to the effect that Prosecutor
Mott would not be in New Bruins
wick today, it was later ,understoos

He said he had been present when
she was subjected to severe cross
examination. Some times, he said,
Mr.. Mott would question her about
points he would not mention, but in
variably she came back with the re-
tort that she had not said any such
thing as he had attributed to her.
Toward noon the whereabouts of
Mrs. Gibson developed into some
what of a mystery. State troopers
stationed at her home were with
drawn and William Gibson, her son,
said she was not at home.
A tour of the house by reporters
with the permission of the son, con-
firmed this. Asked where his moth
er was, Gibson said he had been in
structed not to talk.
