STATE c. I.
CLAIMS VOTE
See election of FreIinghuySen
and Runyon by at Least
$4,000

TRENTON, Oct. S1-Fffty thous-
and and upwards is the conservative
estimate by which the Republican
candidates for United States senator
and governor. Messrs. t'relinghuy-
sen and Runyon. will win the cleo
ton this day a week over Governor
Edwards and Judge Silzer in the
opinion of Republican State Chair
man e. C, Stokes. The former gov
ernor made this estimate yesterday
following a conference here with
the county chairmen from through
out the state.
Former Senator David Eaird, Of
Camden, Arthur 7. Vanderbilt cam
paigl for Senator Itunyon,
and H. Edward Bilkey, sect etary to
Senator Frelinghuysen, were also
present. The county chaltnen were
from Atlantic, Bergen, Burlington
Camden, Cape May, Cumberland,
Essex, Hudson, Hunterdon, Mercer,
Monmouth Ocean. Passaic, Somer-
set and Warren.
Former Governor Stokes, as state
chairman, informally discussed the
situation following the conference
expressing his qualification ever the
reports received from the county
leaders. He said his prediction of
a Republican victory by so GEO and
upwards was a conservative one. 1t
win be recalled that in 1920 he pre-
saged a Republican sweep in New
Jersey by 10000 and Harding and
Coolidge carried New Jersey by
double these figures.
The work this year has been
more intensively organized than
ever before said the state chair
man, discussing the campaigns pro-
gress. Mrs. Feickert has had
charge of the women's organizations;
Mr.. Vanderbilt and Mr.. Bf'key have
looked after the publicity; the coun-
ty committees have been BETTER or
ganized and have done better work
in their respective counties n the
any preceding campaign. and the
state committee has had general su-
pervision over all these various
counties, and has co-ordinated the
work and the different agencies.
There has been unusual harmony
and no friction throughout the state.
Reports of the county chairmen
were most encouraging, and a con-
servative estimate indicates a ma
jority on the Republican ticket of
fifty thousand and upwards"
Although he made no statement
here, former Senator Ratrd in a
Camden paper was recently quoted
as having predicted $4,000 majority
for Frelinghuysen and 100000 for
Runyon.

Court Decides Buchler
Must Answer HirshfieId
Supreme Tribunal Holds Re-
fusal TO Testify in Markets
Inquiry Uniustified

DR.. Samuel Buchler, former Deputy
Commissioner of Markets, will have ia
appear before David Hirshfeld, Com.
missioner of Accounts, n August %
and answer questions in connection
with the investigation into the De.
partment of Markets. DR.. Buchler's
refusal to answer these questions upon
an earlier appearance before Commits.
sioner Hirshfeld, resulted in contempt
proceedings by the Commissioner OF
Accounts.
Justice O'Malley, of the Supreme
Court, handed down decision yester.
day adjudging DR.. Buchler in contemp,
and directing him to answer questions
put to him. Justice 'O'Malley said:
81 do not find the slightest legal jus.
LITIGATION for the respondents refusal te
answer the questions propounded by
the commissioner. Section ITO of the
Greater New York Charter, gives full
power and authority to the Commits
sioner of Accounts to conduct the ex.
animation and to compel the attendance
of witnesses and the constitutionality
Of the act has been sustained by the
highest court"
DR.. Buchler complained that Commits.
sioner Hirshfield had displayed an atti-
tude of hostility and prejudice in the
investigation. In a supplemental afi-
davit filed by DR.. Buchler, he quoted
Hirshfeld as making disparaging re-
marks about E. j. O'Malley, Com
missioner of Markets. Justice O'Malley
said he would refuse to receive or con.
slider this affidavit and that it was filed
without authority.

Police Mystified by Disappear.
ance; Father Believes She
Was Kidnaped

Nellie Biglin, twenty years old, lefs
her home at 10 East Ninetieth Street.
last Tuesday and vanished.
The police have been unable TO find
q single trace of her movements from
the moment that she started for bak-
cry at 116th Street and Eighth Avenue.
She was dressed in q lavender hat and
sweater and blue and white striped
skirt. She wore large tortoise she'll
spectacles, is described as being FIVE
feet six inches in height, weighs 100
pounds, has blue eyes and bobbed ao-
burn hair Detectives who have hunted
for her for five days are as puzzled
as are the members of the girls grief
stricken familN
The young woman's mother told the
Missing Persons Bureau that she can
ascribe no motive for her daughters
disappearance.
Nellie always was extremely quist
and ome-ioving, and had no sweet
heart" she declared. 81 am sure there
was no elopement. She was seldom
out of the company of her two sisters
and was not particularly fond Of
gayety."
The girls father, John H. Biglin,
who is in the express business, does
not believe she went away on her own
account. He fears that she may have
been kidnapped.
The Biglin home adjoins that of the
late Andrew Carnegie, at Fifth Avenue
and Ninetieth Street.

Not Magnetic Orator
One rainy Sunday afternoon in the
early spring large part of Dublin
turned out to hear discussion of the
merits of the treaty from it's advocates
Collins and Griffith spoke at the same
time from stands in College Green, one
to the east of the grim old parliament
house, the other to the north.
The crowd about the Collins platform
was five times as dense and at least
that many times as vocal as the one at
the other place. Griffith was speaking
under protest, had learned He read
well~ordered, logical, penetrating
paper on the benefits of the treaty
His applause was respectful The peo-
pie followed him and were stimulated
to thought
The yells from the other meeting
often drowned out his words. There
was real acclaim there. "Mickey" Col
Inns was in the midst of his partisans
He was the idol of his throng, as Grit
fifth was the teacher of his.
Griffith was frequently seen on the
streets of Dublin. His coming and
going occasioned no comment A short
square-DullC inquire, clad Soberly, ne
might have passed for a respectable
draper or green grocer going about his
business. When with Collins he was
all but ignored by the crowd. Collins
always created stir.
Griffith will be all but irreplaceable
No other leader of his day combined
the prophetic with the practicaisas hi
has, and the need of his people is fol
the latter type Every county in Ire
land has prophet for the cause, bu
sensible statesmen are rare.
