MANY To SEEK
SHER|FF'S job
IS OUTLOOK
Mayor Wilson Says He Has
Not Said "No" to His
Boosters
PETERSON Is IN RACE
AppIegate and G0Wen Also
Seek Chance to Succeed
Sheriff WyCkoff

Reports, apparently originating
in New Brunswick today reached
local Republican political circles
that there will be a big field of G.
o. P aspirants looking for the po-
sition of sheriff to succeed
Elmer Wyckoff when his
term expires the latter part of tn. $
year. The rumor which CAUSED
much speculation here was that
Mayor William c. Wilson had been
approaciiedab strong county organ
lzation men and told that his cand5-
dacy in the contest would recei |e
the solid support Of the county
Republicans.
Mayor Wilson when questioned
about the possibilities OF his enter
ing the contest. today said that he
had not said NO" to those who had
asked him to become the Republl-
can county organization's choice.
The mayor explained that his posi-
tion in the matter might be called
"on the fence" as it is a subject
which deserves considerable
thought before making an answer
one.Nay nr the other.
In addition to Mayor Wilson three
other names have been mentioned,
Fred S. Gowan. lresent under
sheriff, is reported to have announc-
ed his intentions of becoming a
candidate but the continuous feud
which has existed between the pres
ent sheriff's office and the Repub-
lican freeholders is thought to have
made impossible any chance of the
G.. O. P. organization backing Gowan
at the polls.
Freeholder George S. Applegate,
of South River, is understood TO con-
slider favorably the position of sheriff
but as his resignation from the coun-
ty board would make it possible for
the Democrats 10 obtain control
in a Democratic landslide as far as
county board is con :erned, it is re-
ported he will probably be prevailed
upon by the county Republican or
ganiZation to remain out of the race
Freeholder Anderson's entry into the
race might jeopardiZe the RepubL-
can control of the county. it is point
ed out by Republicans, and it is not
likely that the county organization
will be willing to take a chance on
losing the whip-hand which it holds
at present.
The name OF former assem- blynan
- u" al u D. IStel SuIl' OIL LHlS CITY mas
been mentioned as a possible COM
promise candidate for the position
Of sheriff should Mayor Wilson de-
eide not to become a candidate.
Indications at present are that
Mayor Wilson will receive the or
ganization support If he desires TO
run. If he should decide not to en-
ter the contest. rumor has it that
this county support Will so over to
Pet><son, who will be acceptable as
a compromise candidate. In this
way the control of the Board OF
Freeholders viii not be jeopardized
even though the Democrats are sue
cessful in electing three members
to the board next fali.

S|LZER To ASK
ROAD BID BILL
WITH TEETH
Road Situation Seems to be
as Far From Settlement
as Ever
ANOTHER CONFERENCE
Senate and Assembly Again
in Session Today-NeW
Moves Being Planned

TRENTON, Feb. 2S-Governor
Silzer for the second time during the
present session of the legislature
will go in person before a joint ses-
sion of the lawmakers this after
noon if matters can be satisfactorily
arranged. The occasion of this first
personal appearance was on the sub
ject of highways and this afternoon
he will urge the passage of an "open
specifications" law that contains
Xeeth.
TRENTON. Feb. 28-The high
remains without a State Highway
Commission is evidently as far
from settlement as ever. This be-
came apparent after another con-
ference of the senate Republicans,
which lasted from II o'clock yes
terday morning until 2 o'clock in
the afternoon. Yesterdays confab
followed one held Monday oig'lr,
after the legislature adjourned and
which lasted from II o'clock Mon
day night until l o'clock yesterday
morning. This palaver also ende1
in a deadlock.
One tangible result. however.
came of the conference yesterday
afternoon. This was the expressed
decision of the senate bitter end
ers" to attempt to force the namirg
of Daniel E. Pomeroy, Of Bergen,
and either State Senator Collins i.
Allen, of Salem. or Walter j. Buzby.
of Atlantic City, as the two Repub-
lican members of the compromise
four-man board in the places OF
Walter Kidde of MontcIair, and
T, Af EOriy1n2-
ton. The plan last week was to ask
Governor Silzer to withdraw the tyr
latter names. So far this has not
been done by the Republican legis-
iators Governor SilZer has frankly
stated he will not withdraw the
names of the two Republican ap-
pointees. Yesterday. in an inte--
view with General Scott, the latter
expressed unequivocally declared ne
would not retire from the position
as one of the governors appointees
to the road board So far as can be
learned, practically the only objec-
tion to Kidde and Sctt on the part
of the Republican legislators IL that
the politics of the two men are
supposed to be Of neutral tint,
although they were appointed TO
the road body as Republicans. Gen
5&ral Scout YESTERDAY CldSSeQ HlHlSeiI
Is a Republican, and asserted he
had always counted himself as a
snember of that political party.
The "irreconcilables' in the SEN
ate are marking time at present On
the road situation. They are under
stood to be waiting for word from
Poneroy as to whether he would &C
cept a place on the road board II
ne were offered it. Pomeroy is now
in Santa Barbara, California. He
is at present the Republican state
committeeman from Bergen county
and is president OF the Bankers
Trust Company of New York.
As between Senator Allen and
Buzby. the formers chances were
said TO be rather better than Buzby's
of getting a place on the road board
in the event that Governor Silzer can
be forced to call back his appointees.
Senator Aliens name was mentioned
for the place a few weeks ago, and
in some quarters it was intimated
that he would not object to place
on the new highway commission.

alton of Harding's Plan in
the Senate

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-Formal
consideration of President Hard
iug's proposal for American mem
bership in the international court
set up by the League of Nations ap-
parently came TO an end today for
this session of congress.
After a conference with President
Harding, Chairman Lodge of the
foreign relations committee said
it was hardly likely that the Presi-
dent would respond before March 4,
TO the committee request for further
data.
Senator Lodge said the questions
asked by the committee were I'M
portant ones and that before reply
ing, the President would, of course,
consult with Secretary Hughes. He
added that the President had told
him it was not vital that the pro-
posal be acted on at this session.

Ice Reported Thick

During the cold weather that has
caused ice to form with considerable
thickness in the bay, large obstacles
upon which ice has collected have
been visible in the bay. Some OF
these to the naked eye seemed to
have shapes resembling barges. An
investigation today established the
fact that these seemingly obstruc-
tions are the rock foundation of the
channel lights that were placed IN
the bay some months ago. The plac-
ing of the rocks about the lights at-
ter they are set, protect these guides
to mariners from the action of the
water and damage from drifting
boats or ice. One of the founda-
tions can be seen raising out of the
water near the Great Beds Light and
others along the channel extending
down the bay.
