In statement made public today
County clerk Bernard NJ. Cannon.
Prominent Democratic leader in
Middlescx county, makes an attack
upon the policies of Governor Ed
ward /. Edwards and gives his rea-
son for not supporting him as a can
didate for the United States senate.
"My reasons for publishing the
statement" MIR. Cannon said. lis
caused from the fact that the Sec
ond Ward Democratic Club of Perth
Amboy recently at a dinner endorsed
Governor Edwards as their candi-
date for United States senator and
the Democratic Club OF Woodbridge
did likewise. Since that time l have
been asked by at least one hundred
Democrats from various parts of the
county where | stood on the matter.
They were all surprised when ! told
them of my experience with the gov
ernor and most of them advised me
u publish the facts so that all my
friends would know of II.
The statement in fun follows:
one evening during the session Of
the legislature in 1919 / came IN
contact with Mayor Hague at the
state house, Trenton. He urged me
TO boost Edwards for the nomina-
tion for governor. | piled that /
could not do so. as Congressman
Scuily had tipped off some of his
friends that he was going to throw
his hat in the ring, in which case l
would have to support him. Hague
said he had reason to believe that
the congressman would not enter
the nght. and II he did not. then In
that case he urged my support for
Edwards, which / said | would
gladly give. At that time Hague.
Nugent and all hands were for Ed
wards. Eventually Edwards and
Scully entered the fight. Edwards
could not be induced to make wet
fight. and Nugent entered the race
himself. and was causing the Hague
Edwards combination considerable
trouble.
I think Il was in August. previous
TO the primaries. that Mayor Hague
requested me TO call at his office in
Jersey City. when did call he
urged me to get tom" Scully out
OF the race, as he was very much
afraid that Edwards and Scully
would split n vote that would all go
To one IL either would pull ont. and
he figured that Edwards would be "A
sure winner ON election day ON ac-
count of his enormous vote In Hud-
son county.
II was long conference and bow
ing to Haynes superior political
Judgment and naturally wishing To
see a Democrat elected. and figured
Edwards the strongest of The three.
| told him that I would see Scuily
and try To induce him to get out.
Hague was delighted and asked IL
he could send for Teddy" meaning
Edwards. | told him that IL was
unnecessary but that if he wished
to do 50 20 go ahead
In about five minutes Edwards and
Mr.. Blakeslee entered. Hague giee-
fully told them that 7 was going 10
try and get Scully out Of the race

MAN Of $500
Herman Reder Held Up in
Alley of Home at SO State
Street

Herman Reder, of 6S State street,
one of the proprietors of the Ditmds
and Crescent theatres, was held up
by two armed men last night short
ly before midnight and robbed OF
$3.50. The men perpetrating the
holdup escaped Immediately in an
automobile standing at nearby
corner and no trace of them has
been discoyered since.
The robbery took place near
Lewis street and Kearny avenue as
Reder was walking toward the back
of his home through an alleyway.
The men attacked their victim, hur-
riedIy searched him, and then ran
out OF the yard. disappearing along
Lewis street in the direction Of
Kearny avenue. An automobile
seen standing near the corner all
through the evening was later found
to be missing and it is established
that the bandits escaped by this
means.
The occurrence was brought to
the attention of the police depart
ment when telephone sail from
Stacey Coutts informed Sergeant
George Kozusko that shots were be-
ing fired in that vicinity and that
a holdup had been pulled.
Chauffeur William Clooney was
sent down with the atrol wagon
and he found an excited knot Of peo-
pie gathered at Lewis street and
Kearny avenue. one of whom told
him of the holdup. 1t was found
that Buick car had been standing
at the foot of Kearny avenue since
last night and it had disappeared a
few minutes after the roldup. The
siIppositfon is that the machine was
left there by the bandits as a means
of escape and that they lay in wait
for Mr.. Reder as he came home
from the theatres with the money
taken through the box offices.
Officer Clooney made tour of the
patrolmen on post and told them
to look for the automobile bearing
the holdup men. The ferry ap-
proach was covered and then a
search of the southern section of
the city ensued. Clooney and Officer
Frank Geneski making the search.
No sign of any machine was found.
Mr.. Reder describes the bandits
as young men Of medium build. They
wore caps and oyercoats, one gray
and the other brown, he said. but
further than that he is unable to
identify them.

MAY END RAIL STRIKE
HARDING TO ACT TO EFFECT
SETTLEMENT.
President Preparing to Issue Joint
Call to Both Sides to Adjust
Dispute.

Washington, July 1S-President
Harding will act to settle the railroad
strike within twenty-four hours. This
was the first statement of Attorney
General Daugherty on leaving the
White House after a conference with
the President.
Mr. Harding is preparing to issue
a joint call to both sides in the rail-
road strike to adjust their differences
by conference.
With indications pointing to a
spread Of the strike beyond the ranks
of the shopmen, the White House be-
lieves it to be the duty of the admins
tration to exhaust every means in its
power to keep the roads running.
Although the President has hereto
fore taken the attitude that the rail.
road labor board is the only govern
ment agency equipped to deal with
the situation. this view, in the face of
the present emergency, is disappear
ing. No such technicality will be per-
mitted to stand in the way Of the
Presidents action to effect a settle
ment. it was stated In the opinion
of the executive and his advisers any
means short of seizure of the roads
is UNSUITABLE to prevent the economic
disaster that would follow on the heels
Of a railway tie-up, superimposed upon
nationwide coal strike.

WARNING GIVEN WIRTH
GREAT NATIONS PUT BAN ON
RADICAL SOCIALISTS.
No Loans for Germany If Reds Are
Allowed to Enter the
Cabinet.

Berlin, July 1S.--"If Germany wants
any financial help from the outside it
must see to ii that the government
does not. slip into the hands of radi-
Gals. Capitalists and those who have
money to loan have no confidence in
Socialistic government.
This in effect is the warning given
to Chancellor With by foreign dip
lomatic chiefs in Berlin including, ac-
cordng to reports current in parlia-
mentary circles, the American ambas'
sador
Ambassador Houghton is credited
with calling Chancellor Wirths atten-
ton strongly to the non-SOCialistic
and anti-radicalistic sentiment in
America and is alleged to have given
the government TO understand that
Wirth's plan for taking radical So
cialists into the cabinet is likely to
prove a death blow to Germany's hope
for a loan. 1t was pointed out that
after the experience in Russia, private
money and credit givers are not in
clined to take chances with the posi-
bility of radical regime in Germany.
Other ambassadors are also reported
to have supported this stand and to
have told the chancellor that any
move toward a greater rehabilitation
of the German government would pro-
portionately lessen the outlook for
financial help

date Questions.

London, July 1S,-Following a fort
nights conversations with Lord Bal
four, chief of foreign affairs in the
absence of Lord Curzon, Ambassador
Harvey announced a perfect agree
ment had been reached on all man
dates. The United States interests
will be adequately safeguarded and
her nationals will be guaranteed equal
concessions and exploitation privileges
with members of the League of Ma
tons.
According to the opinion of an
American official here, this disposes
of the last difficulties between the two
countries in the Mesopotamian oil con-
cessions which have been bothering
Washington and Downing street ever
since England accepted the mandate
from the league.
