FOR DELEGATE
Harry S. Medinets and Sam
ueI PoIinsky in Race for
Jewish Congress Honor

A spirited contest is assured in
this city and vicinity tomorrow at
the election of a delegate to the
American Jewish Congress, similar
elections for the selection of dele
gates being held throughout the
country at the sans time. There
are two men seeking the honor OF
delegate, they being Harry S. Medi-
nets and Samuel Polensky, both
OF Perth Amboy. Each candidate
has his large following and bitter
feeling now prevails between these
two factions, 1t would seem, as both
men are endeavoring by last min
ute publicity campaign to secure the
support which will give him victory.
Every Jewish man or woman over
twenty-one is entitled to vote upon
the payment OF ten cents, which
money is used to help defray the
cost of the congress. There are
four polling places in Perth Amboy.
one at the corner of Madison avenue
and Gordon street. one at 28S Smith
street ,one in Rabiner's drug store.
Hall avenue. and one in the syna-
gogue in Madison avenue. The
empty store on Broadway, South
Amboy, opposite to the postoffice
will be utilized. while. in Chrome
and Carteret the synagogues VIII
serve as polling places.
The polls will open at 8 o'clock in
the morning and remain open until
Z o'clock at night. The local Y. NJ.
H. A. will be the headquarters and
the ballot boxes and their contents
will be brought there Immediately
after the closing of the polls. The
general election board in charge
consists of Philip Levine, J. Sosin,
H. Jeb1in, Mrs. d. Goldsmith, Mrs.
S. Plane and Mrs. J. Haynig.
Mr.. Polensky is the chairman of
the present local Jewish Congress
Committee and was chairman of the
general Jewish relief committee in
this city. Mr.. Medinets has held
numerous offices among local Jewish
organizations and his supporters talk
optimistically of his chances to win
the nomination.
Medinets is charged by Polensky
with violating a gentlemen's agree
ment between them that neither
would resort to private solicitation
by circular or letter. Polensky claims
that he was unaware that Medinets
had resorted to appeal by circular
until now and as a. result he is forced
to take such action as would coun-
teract the work done with Jewish
voters by his opponent.

LIQUOR
SEIZED At n. Y.
Agents Start to Seize Booze
on Baltic, Halt Work and
Resume Raid Again
Is DEEP MYSTERY
No Injunction Proceedings
Started and Moves of Uncle
Sam are Questioned
Is EEP MYSTERY

NEW YORK, June 23 (By The As
sociated Press) Uncle Sam, after
starting to seize Johnnie Bulls liquor
on the Baltic today, halted, scratch
ed his head, and later resumed his
raid on the steamships lockers stock
ed with liquor under British Govern
ment seal, intended for use on the
homeward trip.
Just why he paused in his raid
remained a mystery at IL O'Clock.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon,
who promulgated the dry ruling
which the Baltic, Berengaria and
Paris have deied, Joined officials at
Washington in protesting ignorance
of the reason for the pause and Off
cials at the customs house, locked in
conference, could not be reached. AT
the offices of the White Star Line
it was stated that no injunction pro-
oeedings had been instituted.
Getting the liquor off the steam
ship promised to prove something of
a thorn in the side of the customs
agents. Chief Officer Williams of the
Baltic said they couldn't look to the
crew for aid and couldn't use the
ships cranes to land the spirits.
There are a half dozen narrow stair
ways and interminable crooked cor
ridors between the liquor and land.
A few minutes. after IL o'clock,
however, customs and prohibition
enforcement agents began bringing
the Baltic's 6,19S bottles of liquor
ashore and loading it on trucks des-
tined for a federal warehouse. It
was said the authorities had delayed
through courtesy for DIR. z. K.
Sprague, local head of the United
States Public Health Service, who
had issued a permit for the reten-
tion of some liquor for medical sup
plies. When he failed to appear, the
raiders resumed their work.
Surveyor Whittle of the customs
service. announces that a small part
of the liquor might be returned if
DR.. Sprague decided it was needed
for medical supplies. 1t was said
that seizure of the sealed liquor on
the Berengaria would be made
soon" There was no indication
OF an intention to seize the vessels
themselves. although such action
has been declared authorized under
the Volstead act.
Philip Elting collector of the port,
after a hasty conference with his
colleagues at the customs mouse TINS
morning, boarded the Majestic
shortly before 1880 o'clock and
went into conference with Secretary
Mellon.
The Baltic's case was surrounded
with further mystery at 1880 a. m.
when Philip Elting, collector OF the
port, coming out of conference
with treasury department officials at
the Custom House, declared with the
seizure in full progress, that the
status of the Baltic had not been
definitely settled and probably would
not be until tomorrow.
Mr.. Elting added: IF l knew def
nitely what we were going to do, l
would tell you"
He stated that he would hold fur
ther conferences with treasury Of
ficials during the day, but declined
to name them.
Meanwhile from uptown came an
nouncement by Surveyor of the Port
Whittle that there had been no pro-
longed interruption of the Baltic
seizure and that the Berengaria's S
liquor would be taken next.

If I could make boxes to order

I'd go right into a home, II

moving. Or perhaps I'd make a
whole set of porch boxes for
one house.
But first I would tell people
where to get me-my telephone
