SAY NEW MAYOR
CAN TAKE POST
But Chase Not Likely to As
sumo So. Amboy Office Be-
fore First of Year

SOUTH AMBOY. Nov. 16-Ru-
mors to the effect that Daniel G.
Chase mayor-elect, would take
up the duties as chief executive OF
the city Immediately, have been
current for the past several days,
1t is understood that the mayor
elect may take hold of the reins
of the city at once if he chooses,
due to the tact that the unexpired
term of the late Mayor Thomas ].
SCully is being filled by Michael J.
Stanton, president of the common
council.
The term of office was not specil-
fed on the election ballot, and
many believed the omission was for
a purpose. While Mr.. Chase has
said nothing of his intentions. it
looks as though he will begin his
activities on January 1. Since his
election there has been a business
meeting and a regular council
meeting, and he has not made his
appearance at either. For this rea-
son many are inclined to believe
he will hold off until the first of
the new year.

STREET CARS AND STREET
CONGESTION

Every municipality in New Jersey,
large and small, has its traffic prob
lem. Congestion is the rule. There
isn't street space enough for the
wagons, trucks, carriages, buses,
street cars and motor vehicles that
are trying to use our thoroughfares.
The trouble is that cities, towns
and boroughs laid out to accommo-
date only the travel of pre-motor
days, haven't highway area enough
to provide for the tremendously in
creased traffic that the automobile
has brought.
The growth in the number of vehi-
cles registered in this State is astound-
ing. In 1916 there were l16.540
registrations; the latest figures for
1922 show 334,701-nearly three
for me-.
Accidents are multiplying-3o7
people killed in 1921 as against 1877
in 1918. The cost of carriage and
consequently the cost of living is in
creasing; the pleasure of automobile
riding in congested centers is lessen
ing. A serious situation, but one
which motor a owners can, to their
own advantage, help to cure.
One remedy is the use of street
cars instead Of automobiles for the
every day trips between home and
business. That saves wear and tear
on cars and nerves; saves gasoline.
oil and tires, and, when parking diff
fculties are considered, saves time.
Best of all. it lessons congestion
and saves street space for essential
business and all without diminishing
the real profit and benefit of auto
mobile owning.

WILSON Gould
HAVE REUNION
Many of His Friends From
Jersey Will be in Washing
ton After Mar. a., 1923

TRENTON, Nov. 16:-After
March A, next year, if former Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson eve has De-
casion to issue invitations for an
sat home'' or a tea, he will not be
compelled, as several Biblical kings
of repute are reported to have done,
to go into the highways and byways
to fill out his list of guests, but he
may, If he wishes, fill his drawing
room on S street with a number of
his old friends from New Jersey, his
home state, and in one instance, he
will shake hands with a fellow
townsman from Princeton, DR..
nCharles E. Browne, four times
mayor of that place, who was elect
1ed congressman from the fourth
New Jersey congressional district.
In fact, if the former chief execu-
tive of the nation should meet with
all the Jersey members of the ma
tional government, the gathering
could fairly be called a reunion of
the New Jersey state government of
1911, when Mr.. Wilson was COVER
nor of this state.
Among those who will be in
Washington after March 4, 1923, is
Governor Edward I. Edwards. new
Neglected United States senator
from this state over Senator Joseph
8. Frelinghuysen. Governor Ed
wards was a newcomer in state pol
tiles in 1911, when he was elected
state comptroller in that year by
the Democratic legislature which
had been swept into Office clinging
to the coat-tails Of the then Cover
nor-elect Wilson.
Then there is Elmer HI. Geran,
who was elected last week to be
Nnn OracCrna ~ frana fhn third dfGfriat
Mr.. Geran, who recently resigned
from the United States district at
t~orneyship in this state, sponsored
the Wilson election reform law in
the House of Assembly in 1911 dur
ing Governor wilson's term, the So
called Geran election law. Geran
vas an ardent Wilsonite during the
former Presidents term as COVER
nor Of New Jersey. Mr.. Wilson
later appointed Geran a member of
the State Water Supply Commission.
Another warn personal friend of
Wilson's who will take Office in
of Orange, just elected congress-
man from the ninth district. Nina
han was in congress during MI.
\Wilson's last two years of his Sec
find term as President.
John j. Eagan, of Jersey City. is
another admirer of the former
president, who will take his place in
congress next year from the elev-
enth New Jersey district. Eagan
served several terms in congress
during Wilson's presidency.
So much for the Democrats. On
the Republican side, there is Con-
gressman Ernest r. Alderman from
the fifth district. Alderman was
a member of the New Jersey State
Senate IN 1911 and presided over
the jeint session of the legislature
in that year which elected James
p. Maritime to be United States
senator. This was in the days be-
fore the seventeenth amendment to
The United States constitution gave
the people the right to choose their
United States senators directly. The
election of MARITIME, of Plainfield,
was forced by Governor Wilson.
James Smith. Jr., of Newark, op-
posed MARITIME for the office.

The tone denied the words; Harriet
knew what she was expected to do.

dren," she reflected, land nobody

Nina was duly dressed for the tea
party the next day, and went to show
herself to her mother while Harriet
dressed. The young girl looked her
best in filmy white with its severely
plain ruffles, and with wide white
hair. Miss Field, too, although she
was very pale today, looked simply
gorgeous as Isabelle expressed it,
when she saw them off in the car,
although Harriet's gown was not new,
and the little Powered hat she had
crushed down upon her splendid hair
had been Isabelle's own season ago
Harriet was in no holiday mood she
felt herself in a false position; this
was to be one of the times when she
paid high for all the beauty and lux
ury of her life.
Here we are!" Nina gave star
tied glance at the lawns and gardens
of the Jay mansion already dotted
with awnings and chairs, and sprinkled
with the bright gowns of the first
arrivals. They were early, and their
hostess, a handsome, heavily built
woman with corsets like armorplate
under her exquisite gown, and a
blonde bang covering her forehead,
came forward with her daughter to
meet them. Francesca was as slight
as willow, with demurely dropped
little head and a honeyed little self
possessed manner.

breathed Mrs. Jay, in a voice like that
of a horn. you girls run along now

I'm going to take Miss Field to the
table. Three hundred people comin',"
she confided as Harriet followed her
across the lawn, and to the rather
quiet corner of the awninged porch
where the tea table stood IN leave
you here, and you just ask for anything
you need"
The matron melted away; Harriet
looked after her broad retreating
back indifferently. She would have
loaned Harriet any amount of money,
the girl reflected, smoldering, she
would have shown her genuine friend
ship and generosity in a crisis. But
she would not introduce people to
Harriet this afternoon, and in a day
or two she would send Harriet bit
of lace, or dainty waist, as delicate
reminder that the courtesy had been
a business one, after all.
Presently the sun came out for Har-
riet in the arrival of a tall, swiftly
moving, dark-eyed woman some ten
years older than she was herself:
Mary Putnam, one of the real friends
the girl had gained in the last four
years. Young Mrs. Putnam, Harriet
used to think, with q little natural
jealousy under her admiration, had
everything. She was not pretty, but
hers was a distinguished appearance
and a lovely face; she had the self
possessed manner of n woman whose
whole life has been given to the social
arts she had a clever, kindly, silent
