NO SHOTS FIRED YET

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Sept. 20 (Associ-
ated Press) The situation between
the British and the Turkish Nation
alists was extremely tense tonight.
A note from Mustapha Kemal
Pasha to Brighten. Harrington, the
British commander, couched in hos
tile tenor, was considered by British
military circles here as closing the
door to a pacific settlement of the
straits question. The prospects Of an
armed conflict were considered more
evident than previously.
Kemal demands the retirement of
all British troops from the Asiatic
side of the straits, as the French and
Italians have done, and says in case
of acquiesence he will withdraw the
Nationalist forces Slightly" from the
neutral zone.
1t also demands the cessation of
what are termed the arbitrary meas
ures of the British authorities in
Constantinople in dealing with the
Turkish population, and a solemn un-
Gtr-aking that no Greek weasel shall
lie permitted to pass the Dardanelles
1t concludes with a protest against
the destruction Of Turkish war ma
terial in the straits.
The note of Kemal was in reply 20
the last written communication of
Gen. Harrington, transmitted through
Hamid Bey. the Nationalist represen-
tative in Constantinople, to Kemal in

Convinces Murphy.

Answering the assertions of Mayor
Hylan, William ]. Conners and other
agents that enough of the delegates
We're pledged TO nominate Hearst,
Smith convinced Boss Murphy that
only thirty-pine of the 705 delegates
TO the convention really favored
Hearst. Murphy was compelled to ac-
knowledge the accuracy of the Smith
figures. and surrendered to the over
whelming popular demand for the
former Governors nomination.
In forcing Murphy to do so by
cold presentation Of facts and figures.
Smith practically destroyed the con-
nection between the Murphy and Mo-

roll in New York city.

machine was not directly challenged

the latter's refusal TO acquiesce to the
Murphy -McCooey plan for nominating
Hearst for Senator amounted pretty
much TO the same thing. The result
of Smiths courageous stand convinced
Murphy that in a direct issue between
Smith and Murphy the former would
emerge the victor.
The dramatic circumstances under
which Smiths nomination was accom-
plshed without n dissenting voice to-

a showdown Murphy, confronted with
the unprecedented Independence OF a

astonishing hold Of the latter on the

doubtedly taken the form OF revolt
against Murphy's leadership not only
in New York but in the rural sections
Of the State, represented by more than
three hundred delegates. who notified
him that they would vote against
Hearst until hell froze over"
Murphy decided to risk whatever

CAPE May MASQUE BALL At
TRACTS WILDWOOD PEOPLE

The masque ball held in the Con-
vention Hall Pier at Cape May on
Tuesday evening of last week proved
a magnet that drew a number OF
Wildwood people to that spot n
from reports of those who attended
the affair was a success financially
a~rtistically, socially and d~ecoratlvely.
The big ball room was nicely decor-
aetd with Halloween colors, corn
stalks, jack-'o-lanterns, and just plain
pumpkins, and over the heads OF the
dancers swung a witch riding Sc
renely on the back of a large wnlte
goose. Quidort's Novelty Orchestra
furnished music and these musicians
kept every foot beating while they
were in action The masqueraders
numbered over a hundred and ranged
in age from six to sixty. Every char
acter of fiction, history n omeoy
was represented in the grand marcn
which took place about $50 in the
evening, and the judges had. a GILL
cult task in selecting the prize WIN
ners. They finally compromised on
awarding the prize for the most at
t~ractive costume to Miss Martha Teal,
who was attired in a pretty White
frock trimmed with red hearts. Ac-
companying "The Queen of Hearts"
was Russell LeVan in a black n
white Pierrot costume. The comic
prize was given to Louis Nelson n
U. w. Giles, who frightened n
amused the crowd by turns with their
antics as South Sea Islanders. The
costumes worn by these boys were
novel to say the least. Cider and gin
ger cakes were there as advertised IN
plenty. The cakes were fine and the
cider just as good and the crowds DID
not play shy of the refreshment
tables at any time during the even
ing. Over 400 people attended the
uance and over a hundred dollars Will
De turned over to the Memorial Monu-
ment Fund as a result of the ball.
rms fund is now about $4,000, and
cape May will have a memorial monu-
ment for her soldiers and sailors be-
iore next summer.
