To Take Care of Upstate.

Another appointment which Gov
Smith will make, probably within a day
or 50 after ne Is inaugurated, is that OF
superintendent OF Public Works. This
position now Is held by Charles L. Cadle,
who ran on .he Republican State ticket
for State Engineer and Surveyor. In
this department there are hundreds Of
Jobs on the State canal system 70 he
filled. and they do not come under the
State civil service. II was said here to-
night that there was bare possibility
that Smith might ask Edward Walsh.
who held IL two years ago, 70 take the
post again.
The appointment OF an Adjutant- Cen
eral TO succeed J. Leslie Kincaid Of
Syracuse. will be another OF the first
official acts OF Gov. Smith after he is
inaugurated. II was said the chances
are that Smith will select military man
from New York city for this Job.
One thing. however. is certain. ac-
cording to the political Observers at the
Capitol. that Gov. Smith. because OF the
tremendous vote he received upstate
will have TO take care" OF upstate
Democrats. and not play too many IA
vorites with New York city.
To show that upstate Democrats al
ready are thinking about jobs. the fol-
lowing incident was reported tonight by
one OF the orderlles at the Capitol
shortly after S o'clock this morning
while the orderly was standing near the
main entrance TO the Capitol, a man
approached and asked what time the
Capitol opened" The orderly told him

anything he coud do for him the man

SMITH FACES DEADLOCK IN THE LEGISLATURE
Credited With Winning
$500, 900 in Bets on Smith

A TOTAL Of s2.5Oo.oOo changed
~ owners as a result OF the
election. according to Wall
Street betting commissioners. Some
estimates put the figure as high as
100000. Many Democratic sup
porters laid eleventh hour wagers
at widely varying odds that Smith
would be elected by a plurality of
$4,000 or 100000.
A Seattle man. rated as an un-
known outsider in local betting cir
cles. won 100000 on election
wagers. One bet was Sc, 900 against
$4,000 that Smith would win by at
least 100000 plurality. Politics is
the Westerner's hobby. and before
placing wagers he makes a close
study of national. State and local
political conditions in much the
same manner that Wall Street
brokers study the trend of general
business and the stock market.

Tax Patronage.

II was said here tonight that the
chances are that Smith will have the
automobile license bureau returned 10
the Office of Secretary of State from
the State Tax Department, where Il
was transferred under Gov. Miller.
There are series of good patronage jobs
to BE filled I'm this work. and 1t was
the transfer OF this bureau to the tax
commission that brought the first split
between Gov. Miller and Secretary OF
State John j. Lyons.
Another department in which Smith
will have some good jobs at his dis
posal is the State Industrial Commits
sion. The commission at present is
composed OF Henry d. sayer. Mrs.
Rosalie Loew Whitney. John d. Hig-
gins and Richard II. Curran
The State Insurance Department. ot
which Francis r. Stoddard. Jr.. at pres
ent is superintendent, Is due for a house
cleaning under Smith. No one here
seems to have any idea as TO the possible
insurance superintendent under Smith.

FIND DYNAMITE
IN RESIDENCE
County Detectives Discover
SO Sticks in Highland Park
Home Yesterday

NEW BRUNSWICK, March o.
As the result of the investigation
being conducted by the county au-
thorities into the circumstances sur
rounding the, wrecking of the resi-
dence at go Woodbridge avenue,
Highland Park, on the night of
February 10, County Detectives
William Fitzpatrick and Charles
Collins yesterday arrested Joseph
Dongora, of Central avenue. The
officers also announced that they
seized thirty-three sticks of dyna-
mite and a quantity of in1ammable
material, which includes gasoline,
straw and bedtick stufing. Dongora
is released on bail of 81, 900 to await
grand jury action on a charge of
having explosives in his possession.
The arrest and seizure took place
when Chief Edward Paige. of the
Highland Park fire department, no.
titled County Detective Ferd A.
David that he had received several
telephone calls telling him to search
the premises at the Central avenue
house. David, who has been direct
ing the probe of the mysterious ex-
plosion, sent Fitzpatrick and Collins
over to Highland Park to discover,
il possible, who sent the calls to
Chief Paige, and the search of the
Dongora residence resulted when
the authorities received no further
notices from the previous informer.
With yesterdays discoveries David
believes that the case is well on the
way toward being cleared up, al
though much remains to be done.
Dongora maintains that tho gasoline
and the straw and other inflamma-
BILE stuff was purchased for legiti-
mate purposes. In view of the fact,
however, hat Dongora is the son of
the man living in the house adjoin-
ing that which vas wrecked by the
explosion, the county authorities are
inclined to believe that the explo-
sion was staged to collect insurance.
Dongora claims the dynamite was
planted" in his home while he was
away and that he is being framed"
Detective David says the story may
be straight but that he has his
doubts until further investigation
substantiates Dongora's claim.
It has been learned that dynamite
was purchased in Bound Brook by
a Salvatore Vanchere and compari-
son of the package found yesterday
with the explosives obtained by
Vanchere gives Detective David the
basis for his belief that the explo-
sion was effected by a portion of h
dynamite purchase, the remainder
of which was seized yesterday.
