PROGRESS
ON NREPARATI
Nothing to Indicate That Way
is Being Cleared for an
Agreement
WASHINGTON'S ATTITUDE
Detailed Explanation oil
French Position is Laid Be-
fore u. S. Government

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Beyond
the fact that direct conversations be-
tween the Washington and Paris
governments are continuing, there
was no indication here today as to
what progress is being made in the
effort to clear the way for an agree
ment on the scope of the proposed
export inquiry into the PREPARATIONS
question.
A detailed explanation of the
French position has been laid before
officials here. A After receiving this
in a half-hour conference with Am
bassador Jusserand late yesterday.
Secretary Hughes avoided any COM
ment whatever on the outlook. while
the French ambassador confined
himself to the statement that the
conversations were continued, add
ing that when there is a definite re-
suit it will be brought to your no
tice." The secretary went directly
from the conference to the White
House to report developments Il
President Coolidge.
The fact that the exchange of view
points here with the French gov
ernment continues is accepted IN
some quarters as indicating at least
that hope is still retained of re-
counciling the American and French
positions and thus clearing the way
for an understanding among the al
lies in extending an invitation for
American cooperation in the pro-
posed inquiry. This was linked with
press reports of increased hope at
Paris of an ultimate agreement
among the allies as also supplying
an optimistic tinge.

HOUGHTQN WILL.
OPPOSE: HILkER
For County Clerk Is Talk To-
day at County Seat-EleC-
ton Next Year

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. s.
The results of Tuesdays election
have hardly had sufficient time to
"sink in" the minds of the voters
but preparations are already being
made for the important election of
county clerk in 1924, if reports heard
today could be believed.
This is no doubt in the minds of
local Republicans that County Trea-
surer f. William Hilker, of Perth
Amboy, will be the unanimous choice
of the party next year as a success
sor to Bernard NJ. Cannon. Demo-
crat, who announced during his 1919
campaign that he would not again
seek reelection.
The choice Of county seat Demo-
Gratis for Gannon's successor is Ed
ward f. Houghton, city commission
er, and the heavy Democratic vote
cast in New Brunswick Tuesday is
said to show that that organization
is already lining their voters up in
order that a big majority might be
given their favorite next fall.
One of the strongest political bod
les in New Brunswick is the City
Club, formed about ten years ago
with the advent of commission gov
ernment for the purpose of perfect
ing a working organization with the
commissioners at the helm. In past
years the Republican freeholders
have received the support of the City
Club, but this year the club men,
bers turned their support to the
Democrats. This could be plainly
seen in the Democratic landslide
vote here, which was in marked
contrast to the vote in recent years.
Republicans point out that Hilker
was defeated by only 1000 votes
when he ran against Cannon, a
strong candidate in 1919, and they
believe the county treasurer to be
their best bet" next year.

TALK STARTED
ON Commission
Matter is Being Freely Dis
cusSed on All Sides in City
Today
FOR THIS COMING YEAR
Would be BY Republicans and
Democrat Factions Left
Out in the Cold

With a 1924 Board of Aldermen
consisting of six Democrats and one
Republican the only remaining hope
for the Republicans of the city to
regain control of the city govern
ment is to start a commission gov
ernment move.
Talk of starting such a move
could be heard about the city this
morning and the rumor had it that
not only the Republicans as a whole
but the Democrats who are on the
"outside" would join forces in en-
deavoring to oust the new Board
of Aldermen.
There has been some talk among
local Republicans and dissatisfied
Democrats during the year of the
advisability of holding a commits
sion government election but the
decision to go ahead was never
reached.
The Republicans are anxious to
gain control of the city. With but
one member on the 1924 board
they would vote solidly for commits
sion government as that one mem
ber is powerless against six Demo
Gratis to have any of his legislation
nut through. In addition to this sol
id Republican organization, which
would be in favor of trying any KIND
of government rather than that now
in force where the Democrats nave
almost a unanimous vote, there are
a large number of Democrats be-
longing to a different faction from
that which will have control after
the first of the year.
The dissatisfied Democrats, ac-
cording to reports, are as anxious
as the entire Republican organlza-
ton, to see the new board ousted
and il would not be surprising to see
these Democrats working hard in
hand with the Republicans in or
der to put commission government
across.
Feeling themselves securely plac-
ed in office, the controlling Demo
cratic organization is said to be al
ready planning for next years cam
naign. Joseph Maloney Is spoken
of as their choice for alderman III
the fifth ward, to oppose Alderman
John !. Clark if the Oldest member
nf the board decides to run again
During the recent campaign Ma
Ioney was working hard for the IN
terests of the Democratic city can
didates and feeling between nm anu
Alderman Clark as the result of the
alleged difference in opinion and ac-
tivities is reported to have run hlgh,
especially on election day.
Another report now gong tLle
rounds is that Alderman Albert u
Waters, retiring representative from
the second ward who did not seek
reelection this year, will be eandl-
date for mayor next year. Alderman
Waters has said nothing officially as
to the truth of the report, but he
is aware that his name has been
mentioned as a likely candidate

Marching ON Berlin

LONDON, Nov s-The Berlin
correspondent of the Exchange Telc4
graph forwards a telegram from
Munich which says that the Bays-
rian irregulars have decided TO
march on Berlin tomorrow
BERLIN. Nov. (By The Assoc
ciated Press )-Chancell Stress
mann's hastily proclaimed measures.'
intended to bring relief in the nar
tion's financial and food situation,
meet with varying degrees of ap-
proval among the financial critics.
They view the government'sndsa dsaress
| as primarily possessing psychola Il
importance, in that they assured the
public that the paper mark is r5e
altogether worthless and that it will
be shortly traded in against the new
coinage in an equitable proportion.
The governments failure to fix
definitely the value of the paper
mark in relation to the present linn
tied issue of gold loan notes is the
chief source of popular disappoint-
ment, as the official communicates
the past three days were consid
cred to have foreshadowed definite
action at once in this direction.
The government now makes its
final appraisal of the paper mara
contingent upon its ability to hait
the money presses and obtain SUI
ficient new revenues through the
Communicating of foreign currcn
cies and the leVying of new taxes
the foreign monies to be replaced
with the new German gold curren
cies.
In releasing 10000 tons of sug.e
for export the government hopes t.
coax S0.000,000 gold marks into ex
chequers, although the treaty y
Versailles imposes an export en-
barge on saccharine products. This
feature of the chancellors emergen-
cy program also is provoking dis-
trust on the ground that the clint
nation of this amount of sugar from
the local supply will in all prob
ability result in the driving UP
retail prices in the home market
The government hopes to have It's
issue of "rentenmarks," as its mes
currency is christened, ready for
circulation on November 10. No an
nouncement has been made regard
ing the size of the issue or what
precautions viii be provided to pro-
tect it from being pounced upon by
the spectators, although the olIi-
cial communique hopefully asserts
that with the appearance of the new
currency "inflation will have come
to an end
