FACTSONFERRY
Double Deck Boats Not Feas-
ibIe Between Here and Tot
tenviIle, Official Declares

Vice President Voorhees, of the
Staten Island Rapid Transit, told the
PERTH Amb0J Rotary Club at The
luncheon today that there were two
reasons why double deck ferryboats
to accommodate more automobiles
on each trip were not feasible. The
Rotary Club has been in communi-
cation with the Rapid Transit off,
Gals in the matter of increased ferry
accommodations believing that it
be to the advantage of Perth Am
boy to retain as much of the auto
mobile traffic as possible in view of
the fact that new ferry is in con-
temptation between Tottenville and
South Amboy.
Mr.. Voorhees, said that, in the
first place, the boats We're not con-
structed so as to carry two decks,
ard in the second place, the ex-
perse that would be necessary at
Perth Amboy and Tottenville for
loading and landing passengers
from the upper deck would not be
warranted.
The ferry service has been greatly
improved in recent months, Mr.
Voorhees, said. The two beat
service has been extended to sixteen
hours with two crews and the Cne
boat is now in service for twenty
four hours. The new boat to re-
place the Tottenville will be put in
commission in about one month.
AS a matter of fact, it was declsr-
ed that the present service was ade-
quate for all traffic excepting for
Saturday and Sunday during the
three summer months, and that
there were no ferries anywhere
about Manhattan that were adequate
for the peak of the traffic on such
occasions. AS a matter of fact, ii
was stated that the line of waiting
automobile here is shorter than at
any of the other ferries.
AS to the ferry to Washington
street, there is no intention on the
part of the Staten Island Rapid
Transit TO take any action in that
direction at the present time, Mr..
voorhees, said. II in the future the
people here seem to demand such a
ferry it may be built.
Mr.. Voorhees, touched briefly in
the strike situation and said that
1t was matter of qualification to
all the operating officials of the rail-
roads that the executives had taken
the stand that they had in reject
ing President Harding's suggest ons
fo1 settlement of the trouble. He
said the superintendent. foremen
and traffic managers had given their
word to the new men employed tnat
their jobs would be permanent,
based on the decision of the United
States Labor Board. Now for these
surerintendents and foremen to go
back on their word would mean re-
pudiation.
Three new members were intro
duced to the club today. They were

TuttIe Cmpaign Aided

TRENTON, Aug. 2-As the re-
suit of the enthusiasm shown for
Banking Commissioner William E.
Tuttle. Jr., at the Democratic out
ing here last Saturday, a campaign
committee of his boosters was or
ganized last night in the Tuttle state
headquarters in the Stacy-Trent ho-
tel for the purpose of furthering
the commissioners nomination for
governor at the September prima-
ries. George Dapper. clerk to the
Mercer county jury commission, was
chosen chairman of the committee:
Charles Grover, of Princeton juno
ton, was made vice chairman and
James Dugan of Trenton, treasurer.
Dapper. who will be the Tultle
campaign manager in Mercer, is an
active Democratic worker, having
been a member Of county committee
since 1899. He played a conspicu-
Gus part in the recent Democratic
outing plans. Grover and Dugan are
also Democrats of long party stand
ing.
In statement issued today Chair
man Dapper stated that the contest
for the Democratic nomination in
Mercer county is not to be a fight
against any other Democratic faction
or group in the county. rs to be
fight for Tuttle because we believe
him to be the strongest candidate
the Democrats can select and be-
cause he can be elected in Novem-
ber."

meeting last night of his friends and

$4,000 HEART BALM
ASKED BY LOCAL GIRL:
TILTED, SHE CHARGES

Heart balm amounting to $4,000
Is sought by local girl who claims
to have been Tilted by young nan
of this city, according to papers in
a breach of promise suit that have
been served by the sheriff's Office at
New Brunswick.
1t is understood that the young
girl accepted an offer of marriage
from the man she is now suing and
that the AFFAIR had progressed AS far
as the formality of taking out q
marriage license. The man had pur-
chased an engagement ring some
time ago and she had completed all
arrangements for the wedding, she
alleges, when suddenly her fiance
announced that he would not marry
her and all bets were off. No reason
for the break was given, the girl
says through her attorneys.
The girl in the case is Henrietta
Pensler, eighteen year old daughter
of Max Pensler, baker whose
home is at 619 Elizabeth street.
Through her father, who is bring
ing the suit, the rejected girl is
endeavoring to soothe her injured
feelings with the $4,000 or what
ever fraction of that sum the courts
see fit to allow.
Jacob Lesslauer, delicatessen deal
er of rs Smith street is the defen-
dant in the action. When ques-
toned by an Evening News repre-

POLICY FIXED
BY DEMOCRATS
"Hands Off" on Fight Be-
tween Si|zer and TuttIe
Plan of State Committee
MEETING AT TRENTON
No Stand to be Taken, Chair
man Heller SayS--To Ap-
peal to Women Voters

TRENTON, Aug. 2.-The Demo-
cratic State Committee will main
tain "hands off, policy so far as
the. fight between State Banking and
Insurance Commissioner William e.
Tut.e. Jr., of Union, and Circuit
Court Judge George S. Silzer tor
the gubernatorial nomination is con-
cerned. This became apparent here
when the committee met and form
ulated plans for the coming cleo
tioE campaign.
While the meeting was closed to
newspapermen, it is learned that
neither the name of Tuttle or Siizer
was mentioned in the meeting. "It
has always been the policy of the
state committee to take no stand
on the primary candidates." added
State Chairman Heller. of this city,
What the committee did decide
to 90 is to go out strong for the
Wcmen's votes next November. 1t
authorized Chairman Heher to ap-
point special committee of five
women, whose function will be to
go about the state organizing Demo-
cratic women and mastering their
maximum strength. The commit
tee will employ paid woman sec
rotary. who must be a member of the
state committee.
The general policy of the party,
1t was decided. will be to appeal to
the women on the ground that the
Harding administration at Washing
tor is planning to raise the cost of
living as reflected in the housewives
budget through the proposed high
tariff bill. "a High Tariff Means a
High Cost of Living" or words to
that effect, will be the slogan in the
partys bid for the woman vote. The
liberal attitude of the party. espe-
cially on the liquor question, will
be the chief ground of appeal to
the men of the state, according to
present plans.
No candidates were invited to the
meeting. with the exception of Gov
ernor Edwards, whose nomination
TO" the United States Senate is un-
contested, and who came rather as
spoke at the luncheon at the Stacy
Trent Hotel. which preceded the
meeting, hurrying away Immediate
ly after for Atlantic City.
The governor expressed great sat
isfaction with the political outlook
for the party, based on his observa-
tions on recent campaign pilgrim
ages around the state
A Democratic majority of $4,000
in Hudson county was predicted by
the chief executive. When Mr.. Ed.
wards was elected governor he rolled
up majority of $4,000, but that
was before the vote was doubled by
woman suffrage. Allowing for in
crease in population. the governors
estimate is believed to be one indi-
eating about the same relative Dem
ocratic strength in Hudson as thai
which his candidacy actually
brought out three years ago. Joe"
Fitzpatrick, Hudson committee
member, estimated Democratic
majority of $4,000 in his county.
The state committee decided to
hold monthly meetings, and Chair
man Heher declared that perhaps it
will meet even more frequently than
that.

Coal Situation

WASHINGTON, Aug. Z.-AdmIn-
istration leaders hopes of a speedy
ending of the coal strike as a result
of the call for joint conference OF
ths coal operators and strikers IN
the Central Competitive Field issued
by John l.. Lewis. president OF the
United Mine Workers. in Philadol-
phia, fell as soon as operators began
sending their replies.
Mr.. Lewis proposed a meeting IN
Cleveland Monday. With few ex-
certions the mine owners fatty re-
jected the plan, despite the hearty
support given it by the adminlstra-
ton. Most of them proposed In
stead that district conferences to de-
termine wages for each district be
held.
A. M. Ogle of indianapolis, presi-
dent of the National Coal Assoc. a
tion, expressed the belief that noth-
ing could be accomplished at the
Cleveland conference. Operators IN
the Pittsburgh district, Indiana and
Southern Ohio have already an
nounced their refusal to participate.
Consequently, SO far as is known
at present. the only mine owners
who will be present are those from
Eastern Ohio and few from West
Virginia. The Eastern Ohio opera
tors were included in the invitation
and have accepted; the West Vir-
girians, not included, will nevertEe-
legs seek to be admitted.
