RECOUNT MOVE
Will Ask County Election
Board to Withhold KalteiS-
sens Election Certificate

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. II. =
Republicans, looking out for the in
terest of j. Fred Orpen in his fight
to win the election of freeholder
from his Democratic opponent,
Klemmer Kalteissen, both of this
city, will appear before the County
Election Board at noon tomorrow
and request that the certificate, pro-
nouncing Kalteissen the winner, be
withheld.
The Republicans claim a differ
ence between the total votes for
Orpen and Kalteissen as sent in to
the county clerks Office by the first
poll board of Raritan township and
the figures retained by the municipal
clerk. The Republicans claim there
Is difference of five votes in Or
pens favor, as one sheet gives the
Republican III votes and the other
only 172.
A conference of Republican lead
ers of the county was held Saturday
night at which it was decided to take
no action on making application for
the recount until the county vote
had been canvassed by the Board of
Elections tomorrow. The Republi-
cans have hopes that a close check
ing up of the returns may still show
Orpen to be elected instead of de-
feated by three votes.

TO SELECT PRESIDENT

TRENTON. Nov. 12:-There is
strong possibility that the seventeen
Republican senators will hold their
caucus here tomorrow and settle the
question of who shall be the senate
president and Republican floor lead
er for the 1924 session. 1t is expect
ed that a big delegation OF the Re-
publican legislative members elected
last week will come to Trenton to-
morrow to get a line on now the
winds are blowing toward the organ
ization of both branches of the law
making body for the coming session.
Several of the senators who are
understood to be followers of United
States Senator Edge held a little
conference here last Friday and fol-
lowing that there was talk that an
attempt would be made to hold the
senate caucus tomorrow. IL is
thought here that this group is
against the elevation of Floor Leader
Stevens, of the 1923 session, to be
the presiding officer in 1924. stevens
Is the logical choice by the system
OF promotion usually followed from
position OF party whip to senate
president, but the group of senators
who fought the Silzer road program
last winter are being lined up as
against him.
1t is an open secret that there
would not have been much sorrow
bv some of these members of the
majority If such senators as Case OF
Somerset, and Stevens of Monmouth,
who helped the executive win the
road battle, had been left at home
last week by the voters of their re-
spective counties. And some of them
cannot get the idea out of their
heads that there was method to the
apparent political madness of Mr.,
Silzer in going into the counties to
oppose the reelection Of the very
Republicans who had aided nm.
These organization senator's are IN
clined to the opinion that the goVer-
nor, knowing what the effect OF ms
interference in the Monmouth and
Somerset county elections might be,
deliberately went there ostensibly-
to elect the Democratic candidates
but covertly to help return Case and
Stevens.
That, of course, is the viewpoint
of those who are still smarting over
the senate road battle OF the 1922
session and who still criticize the at
titude then taken by the two Repub-
lican senators just mentioned. 1t is
not entertained in any other quar-
ters.

Mr.. Menken of National Sc

With Israel ZangWelI
WEAKNESS INVITES INSULT
Cites History to Show Pre-
paredneSS Not Foolish
ArmiStice Day Events

Before an audience that packed
the local high school auditorium yes
terday afternoon S. Stanwood Men
ken, president of the National Sc
curity League, took sharp issue with
Israel Zangwill because of the lat
ter's stand on preparedness. Iang-
will describes preparedness as being
foolish and yesterday at the monster
mass meeting, held as part of the
Armistice Day celebration under the
auspices of the American Legion, Mr..
Menken showed the great loss in
several wars engaged in by the
United States which he said was due
only to eparedness.
After paying tribute to Mr. Zang-
Wills literary attainments and his
broad interest in all mankind" Mr..
Menken said:
1T would seem as if the gentle
mans temper, or temperament, has
unbalanced his judgment and that
his judgment exceeds his knowledge
of American character and history.
Il do not propose to quarrel with
| Mr. Zangwill His pen has made me
so much his debtor that I wish he
had resisted the temptations of the
| PLATFORM; but when he says that
those who believe in preparedness
are fools and thus pillories George
Washington, Thomas jefferson, Abb
raham Lincoln and Theodore Roose-
welt, together with thousands of
others, led by Leonard Wood, Ro-
bert Bacon, Augustus Peabody
Gardner, Joseph II. Choate, Luke e.
Wright. George L. Chamberlain and
julius Kahn, L feel it is time to
utter a word of polite protest and
to tell Mr.. zangwill that, as a deep
and sudden lover of America, he
should study those he loves so loudly,
appraise their orderly, God-fearing
lives, their industry their efficiency
and good fellowship and above all,
he should study their military
history. 1t is stirring literature.
He should be asked to squarely
admit the penalty England paid
for unpreparedness in 1914 and
be told the lesson of Armistice Day
in this land of peace with dignity.
He can then awaken to the fact that
unpreparedness is national men,
ace"
Mr.. Menken briefly reviewed the
wars in which the United States par
ticipated and asserted:
I'VE were forced into each of these
wars and into the World War. The
aggressors in each instance thought
us too weak to resent insult. Our

Will Take Office Tomorrow
No Other ChangeS--Peter-
son Turned Down

NEW BRUNSWICK Nov. 12-
William S. Hannah of Milltown who
has been engaged as county pro-
cess server for the past three years,
has been selected by Sheriff-elect
Frederick Gowen as deputy sheriff.
The naming of Hannah eliminates
former Assemblyman Edward j. Pc
terson of Perth Amboy who also
sought this appointment.
A conference of prominent county
Republicans consisting of members
of the Board of F'reeholders, Senator
Morgan +. Larson, Assemblymen
Harold G.. Hoffman and Thomas l..
Hanson, County Treasurer +. Will
liam Hill1er, County Solicitor Fred
crick +. Richardson and State
Committeeman Frederick Schneider
was held Saturday night for the pur-
rose of considering the two appli-
ants for the office.
The meeting was said to have been
a harmonious one in which the Re-
publican leaders decided to allow
Gowen to make his own choice be-
tween the two men. Yesterday the
sheriff elect announced his decision
favoring Hannah.
In explaining his selection of Han
nah, the new sheriff-elect said:
During my campaign l was running
with the slogan efficient service de-
serves promotion 1t would not be
consistant for me to turn down Mr..
Hannah who has served the county
conscientiously three years as a pro-
cess server during which time he has
become we'll acquainted with the
duties of the under-sheriff. L think
it only eight that Mr.. Hannah be
promoted"
Gowen also stated that voters in
outlying districts where large ma
iorities were piled up for him had
his appointment.
Charles Blue, who has been war
den of the county Jail for the past
year and half, will be renamed to
that office and Mrs. Blue will be re-
named matron of the Jail, Gowen has
announced. The Blues will occupy
the living apartments in the jail
building occupied by Sheriff Wyckoff
during his time in office. Gowen
will continue to reside in his High
land Park home. AS far as can be
learned the entire present personnel
of the Jail and sheriff's office will be
retained.
Peterson was a candidate for the
Republican shrieyalty nomination
this year but dropped out of the race
prior to the primaries. His action
was generally rumored to have re-
suited from his being promised the
position of deputy sheriff should a
Republican win. During the general
election campaign Peterson was ac-
tive in Republican circles, being
chairman of the committee on meet
ings. His supporters not only in this
city but in other parts of the county
argued in favor OF his appointment
on the grounds that Perth Amboy
and this end of the county should be
represented owing to a Highland
Park man being elected sheriff.
The poor vote given Gowen in
Perth Amboy is said to have been
one of the reasons why Peterson was
not favored for the appointment of
deputy sheriff. Last year, however,
when Peterson sought the appoint
ment of deputy surrogate, Charles
Forman, the successful Republican
candidate, lost out in his own city of
New Brunswick but was given a
slight majority in Perth Amboy.
Nevertheless Peterson was not
chosen.

Agreement on Railroads

DUESSELDORF, Nov. 12.-(By
The Associated Press)-A tentative
agreement has been reached by the
Franco-Belgian railroad administra-
ton in the Ruhr with the German
administration for the return of the
rolling stock taken out of the dis
trict since the beginning OF the oc-
cupation and a limited working ac-
cord. A preliminary draft of the
agreement was signed yesterday, it
is announced.
The French authorities are ex-
tremely optimistic over the agree
ment and believe that it will quick
ly restore the economic life of the
Ruhr, as the lack of transportation
has been the greatest obstacle in
winning over the industrialists, who
complained that the French and
Belgians could not move their
freight. The economic councils ere
ated by General Degoutte are cred
tied with convincing Berlin that the
resumption of transportation in the
Ruhr was absolutely necessary.
The text of the preliminary ac-
cord has not been given out, but a
general outline by the French says
the Reich has agreed to furnish
rolling stock progressively as it is
needed and to aid in eoordinating
the systems in occupied and unoc-
cupied Germany. The Germans ac.
cepted in principle many points that
will be discussed in detail at meet.

Secretary Mellon Would Re-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12-Federal
tax revision under a program apply
ing reductions to the entire range
of personal incomes and estimated
to cut the nations tax bill next year
by 1923, 100000 will be recon
mended to congress by Secretary
Mellon.
Outlining his proposed program in
a letter to Acting Chairman Green
of the House ways and means com
mittee, published today, Secretary
Mellon declared that, contingent on
the passage of a soldiers bonus bill
there should be for this year and
for the next four or five years a
revenue surplus above ordinary
budget expenditures including the
fixed debt charges of something
more than S300.000.000. This he said
gives a reasonable margin for tax
revision and reduction.
A soldiers bonus measure, the
secretary asserted, not only would
postpone tax reduction "for many
years to come" but would mean an
increase rather than a decrease in
taxes The treasury, he said, ad-
heres to the theory that the country
would prefer a substantial reduction
of taxation to the increased taxes
that would necessarily follow from a

Message Replying to Protest
of Council of Ambassadors
on Return of Crown Prince
CONFERENCE is HELD
Council Called HurriedIy-
Ex-CroWn Prince Has Not
Reached Estate as Yet

PARIS, Nov. 12.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press "A German note re-
plying to the protest of the council
of Ambassadors against the return
to Germany OF ex-CroWn Prince
Frederick William, was received
here this morning. The note is un-
derstood to be of an unsatisfactory
nature to the allies, and the mem
bers OF ambassadors council were
hurriedly notified to convene this
afternoon for it's consideration.
The exact language of the German
note was not disclosed, but it made
an unpleasant impression. 1t is un-
derstood it takes the stand that
Frederick William possesses the
same rights as other German citizens
and that the German government
has no reproach to make against
| him.
| The former heir to the--l sa9gfsi;5,
imperial throne is regarded in tifpIo-
| matte circles as having put the allies
in a serious dilemma. After send
| ing the note to Chancellor Strese-
mann setting forth the views of the
ambassadors council regarding this
princes return there developed
among the allies a feeling that the
matter had been taken too seriously
since it appeared very problematioaI
whether any effective action by the
allies would be possible.
The allies would have been glad
if the matter had been dropped, and
they were disagreeably affected
when word came that Frederick Will
liam had actually returned to Ger
many, because the note of the am
bassadors' council har committed
them to action of some sort.
Just what form that action will
take is said here to depend largely
upon Great Britain. 1t is understood
in allied circles that the initiative
in any step decided upon will be left
to London since it was on the re-
quest of the British cabinet, it is
stated, that the matter was taken
up in the first place by the ambas-
sadors.
