BROWN FACTION
To GET PLUMS
See Little Chance For Cannon
Men In Make Up Of City
Government
SEE JOB FOR WILENTz
Mention Costello For City
Clerk = Several Offices
Still In Doubt

The announcement by the Board
of Aldermen next month of the
Democrats to be named to fill
municipal offices now held by Re-
publicans will be an indication of
which wing" of that party is in
control in this city. The result of
the recent election proved a victory
for the City Democratic Club, in
which former State Senator Thomas
Brown plays an important part,
over the old Democratic organiza-
ton led by County Clerk Bernard
NJ. Cannon.
Democratic leaders are endeavor-
ing to keep quiet the names of those
who will be selected to fill the posi-
tions made vacant by the outgoing
Republicans the first of the year,
But nevertheless ii can now be seen
that the Brown faction is debating
who shall be appointed to the va
cancies.-
There now is little doubt but what
David WilentZ, a lieutenant" of
former Senator Brown who worked
hard in the recent campaign for a
Democratic victory, will be the new
city attorney. Other names have
been mentioned, including Cannon
favorites, but these will not receive
the votes necessary from the alder
men to make appointment possible,
it is said.
The position of City Engineer will
no doubt, go to Louis p. Booz, Jr.,
although the Cannon constituents
are said to favor the naming of an
other Democrat to this position.
The fact that Booz opposed John
White, one of County Clerk Gannon's
hardest workers, at the recent pri-
mary contest for Committeeman
as proof that an effort was being
made to wrest the power from the
Cannon wing" BooZ was defeated
in the race by White. incidentally
Alderman John J. Clark, who might
be called the spokesman of the Can
non faction in the Council, has
shown on numerous occasions dur
ing the grade crossing elimination
proceedings that he was not un-
usually favorable to Booz.
John White is reported to be the
Cannon mems choice for the office
of city clerk but latest reports would
indicate that this position will go to
man favorable to the other
flank" of.the local Democratic par
ty. Phillip Costello and John Ber-

talk of compromise appointee is
to be heard.
The selection of a city clerk is
said to be the biggest problem be-
fore the Democrats at present, ru-
mors now being circulated that
City Clerk Arthur E. Graham, the
present Republican incumbent, will
be held over. These reports cannot
be verified, however.
AS far as can be learned the city
comptroller's Office. made vacant
after the first of the year by the ex-
piration of o. ]. Morgenson's term,
is without any applicants. The
name of James Rhodes, former city
treasurer. has been mentioned but
he is said to favor the position of
city treasurer. now held by Ferd
Garretson, rather than that of city
comptroller. John Kelly. present
water commissioner. has been men

This Democratic opponent four years
ago, that this righ be affirmed. Mr..
Newberry in his letter said he had
been impelled to retire from that
pody because of the defeat of his Re-
publican colleague, Senator Town
send, in the November election.
At the same time in discussing the
controversy in its relation to the
campaign just closed during which it
was an issue in many States. Mr..
Newberry expressed the conviction
that "a fair analysis of the vote in
Michigan and other States, where
friends and political enemies alike
have suffered defeat, will demon
strate that a general feeling of un-
rest was mainly responsible"
"The present situation, however"
he said, rendered futile his further
service in the Senate, since it meant
he would continue to be hampered
by partisan political persecution"
Should future opportunity present it
self. Mr.. Newberry said he would
hesitate to offer himself to his State
and country.
Before the case passed as an issue
into the recent campaign the SEN
ate had upheld Mr.. Newberry's title
to a seat by margin of five votes,
but it appeared that the fight was to
be resumed early in this session OF
Congress.

Indictments Not Likely,
New Brunswick Thinks,
All Week Session Outlook

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. 90. -
The Somerset county grand jury is
hearing witnesses in the Hall-Mllls
murder case and public opinion ex-
pressed in and about New Bruins
wick is that the jury will fail to
indict which will mark the close of
this unusual case. The feeling has
been growing among those il New
Brunswick closely connected with
the case that the Somerset county
grand jury will not indict as they
are not expected to take the story of
Mrs. Jane Gibson, woman farmer
and self-termed "eye witness" of the
murder, at face value. Mrs. Gibson
is understood to be the principal
witness of the state in this case and
failure on the part of the grand jury
to accept her story is expected by
those who have followed the case
closely.
Mrs. Gibson was known to the
Somerset county authorities before
her prominence in this double muir
der tragedy, it is said. and past ex-
perienceS with the authorities of
that county have been such as to
make it unlikely that her story will
be wholly accepted by the Somerset
grand jury members.
Raymond Schneider, the local
man who reported the discovery of
the bodies to the police and later
accused Clifford Hayes. another
New Brunswick youth, with the
murder, was taken from the county
Jail here by Sheriff Elmer Wyckofi
at $3.50 o'clock this morning and
removed to Somerville to appear
before the grand jury. Schneider
after accusing Hayes, retracted his
charges and admitted he had made
false statement in duplicating
Hayes. He was then re-arrested
and held on a perjury charge.

MRS. FELTON, WAITS IN Vain
FOR SEAT IN CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. - Mrs.
w. H. FELTON, of Georgia waited in
vain for an hour and a half in the
senate chamber today to learn
whether senate leaders would permit
her to take her seat as the first
woman senator in view of the re-
cent election of Walter F. George as
her successor. After much scratch
ing of heads over the problem the
senate managers decided to leave a
decision go over until tomorrow.
From a place in the rear of the
seats on the Democratic side of the
chamber the eighty-seven year old
grand old woman of Georgia"
peered out through her spectacles
upon the opening formalities of the
special session and then without u
mention of her name going into the
record, saw an adjournment until to-
morrow as a remark of respect to
the late Senator Watson to whose
place she had been appointed by
Governor Hardwick.

SHIP SUBSIDY
WORKSTARTED
Special Session Called by
President Is Started BY
Congress
WILL HEAR HARDING
Adjournment Taken Early To-
day--Mrs. FELTON, Not Seat
ed Today

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O-Con-
the special session of two weeks
called by President Harding for con-
sideration of the administration sh:p
subsidy bill upon which he is ex-
pected to address a joint session to-
morrow.
In both senate and House the
gavel beginning the new session
dropped a few minutes after 12
O'Clock and then in both chambers
followed the usual formalities
which attend the turning over a
new page in congressional history
The program on both sides was so
arranged as to permit adjournment
after these ceremonies until tomor-
row as mark of respect for late
Senator Watson, of Georgia, and
Representative Nolan of California
The senate was in session only
thirteen minutes adjourning without
giving an opportunity to Mrs. w. FL.
FELTON, of Georgia, or any other
new senators to take the oath of
office.
In the House the business of get
ting under way after the recess took
considerably more time, but the
leaders deferred any actual consid-
Grafton of legislation until after
the Presidents address tomorrow.
There was the usual first day har-
vest of new bills and resolutions,
all of which promptly went to COM
mittee and the opening session was
attended also by the usual noisy
outburst of welcome by the galleries
to new and returning members.
The extra session called by Presi-
dent Harding primarily to consider
the administration ship subsidy bill
with the regular session to follow
total of four sessions for this con-
gress, including the special session
called in April 1921, no congress
before ever having had more than
three and it may have the further
distinction of including the first
woman member to be seated in the
United States senate.
Interest in today's procedure was
chiefly claimed by the problems
presented in the efforts of Mrs. w.
H. FELTON,. of Georgia, the first
woman senator, to obtain a seat in
the senate for a day.
The way appeared to be cleared
for this up to the point of securing
unanimous consent to it, Vice Presi-
dent Coolidge and senate leaders as
well, it was understood. being dis
posed to grant Mrs. FELTON, the dis
tinction by this procedure. At the
same time, however, they were said
to agree that since Senator-elect
Georges election on November z
she had no legal right to be seated
and that a single objection on the
floor probably would bar her.
Although on hand for the extra
session Mr.. George said he would
not claim his seat in the senate un-
til tomorrow in order to give Mrs.
FELTON, first an opportunity to claim
the right to take the oath of office.
