Many of those going from this city
left the rooms of the City Democra-
tic Club in automo obiles shortly after
IL o'clock, the cars leaving as soon
as they had been filled, there being
no attempt to go to the summer cap
ltal in parade formation.
Politics were discussed to some
extent at the reception, but the prin-
cipal question that occupied the at
tending of the organization Demo-
Gratis was that of finding some one
to become chairman of the Middle
sex County Democratic Committee to
fill the vacancy caused by the resig
nation of Edmund A. Hayes, of New
Brunswick.
The general opinion among those
present was that Assistant Prosecu-
tor John Z. Toolan should consent

Perth Amboy is going to have a
five story furniture store located in
what is now known as the City Ma
tional bank building. This prop
erty was taken over by the Perth
Amboy Trust Company when the
two banks consolidated, and has
been recently sold by the banking
institution to Ludwig Wolff, who Will
occupy it as soon as the lease ruas
out on his present store in the Rar-
itan building at the corner of Smith
street and Madison avenue. Although
the purchase price of the building
has not been made public, it is un-
defstood to have been well into the
thousands of dollars.
The building at the present time
is a three story brick structure. The
main floor was remodeled when 1t
wac purchased by the City National
INK Mr.. Wolff declared today that
he will remodel the building and
occupy the entire structure himself.
He plans to build two additional
stories making a five story building
in all Among the improvements
Mr.. Wolff will install in the build
ing will be both freight and passel-
ger elevator service. When COM
pleted it will have 10000 square
feet of floor space, Mr.. Wolff says.
Twenty-six years ago Mr.. Wolff
came to this country from Germany.
After considerable hardship in OBJ
tanning positions due to his lack of
knowledge of the language his uncle
in Newark placed him in charge of
a clothing business in this city.
Meeting with success in this venture
he decided to go into business for
himself and opened a music store.
Later he sold this store out and
went into the furniture business at
104 and 106 Smith street The
present business is the growth from
that beginning
III 1916 he moved his business to
the large store in the Raritan build
ing and since that time the growth
has been such that the $4,000 square
feet of floor space is crowded as
well as his warehouse. The neces-
sity for a larger store became appar
ent some time ago and when the
opportunity came to purchase a
suitable building Mr.. Wolff immedi-
ately closed the deal.
By obtaining the larger building
Mr.. Wolff will lbe able to enlarge the
line carried by him considerabl,.
For instance, he expects tc increase
the talking machine and phonograph
department, and add trunks and
sewing machines. The furniture
house run by Mr.. Wolff is well
known throughout this section of the
state as Ludwig's Furniture house.

FRENCH SEEK AGREEMENT
IN NOTE To BRITISH

PARIS, July 2s.-(By The AS
sociated Press)-The French note
to Great Britain, in reply to the
British suggestions as to a joint re-
sponse to Germany's reparation me-
morandum, was said authoritatively
today to have been drafted with the
determination TO exhaust every
means of teaching a full accord
with the British.
The delivery of the French note
is only awaiting word from Brus-
sells that the Belgian note TO Lon
don also is ready. The French
communication, in any case, will be
delivered by the beginning of next
week, whether the Belgian note is
ready or not, because Premier Poin-
care is anxious to comply with the
desire of Lord Curzon, the British
secretary for foreign affairs. to re-
ceive Frances answer before the
British parliament adjourns for the
summer recess.
The chances of rewelding the
Entente. with Great Britain cooper
ating in the effort to obtain guar
antees for the payment of repara-
tions by Germany. is thought by
those closely in touch with repara-
tions questions to be better than at
any time since the split of last jan
uary. This feeling of optimism pre-
walls not enly in French official cir
cles but among the allied represen-
tatives who are in Paris in connec-
ton with problems arising under
the treaty of Versailles.
Both Premier Poincare and Prime
Minister Baldwin of England are
declared TO have shown a disposi-
ton to make every possible sacri-
fee. The British prime minister.
according to apparently excellent
British authority. feels that a long
er absence of his government from
action to secure the execution OF
the peace treaty is impossible.

CALL POLICE AS MEN
STRIKE At KEASBEY PLANT

The local police this morning re-
ceived a call from w. Guy Weaver,
superintendent of the National Fire
proofing Company's plants in this
city and keasbey, stating that the
men in the Raritan plant had gone
on strike and were marching to the
Standard and Perth Amboy plants
In order to have them join their
ranks The Woodbridge police also
were notified and officers were de-
tailed from both police stations.
The strikers reached the Standard
plant before the police arrived to
check their march and succeeded in
persuading the men there to join
their rangs. The workers of the
two plants then started for the
Perth Amboy plant to endeavor and
have the men there join the walk
out. The police arrived at the plant
before the men and the strikers dis
persed, no trouble resulting.
The trouble, according to Superin-
tendent Weaver, commenced at the
Raritan plant this morning when a
number of machine men refused to
go to work. They made no demands
he said, and did not explain why
thew would not work. These men.
about eighteen in number, announc-
ed a strike and they were Joined
by others, whereupon the plant Of
ficials decided to close the. plant al
together.
After the strikers had succeeded
in getting the Standard plant work
ers to join them that plant also was
shut down for the day. The remain
ing employees at the Perth Amboy
plant continued to work when the
police prevented the strikers from
interfering with them.
There are about $50 men employ
ed at the three plants, but all of
these are not affected by the strike.
It was estimated that about 80 men
were among the strikers. a majority
of whom are young fellows. These
youths, Mr.. Weaver said. are receiv-
ing from Sc to $3.50 a day and they
do not care to work a full week, be-
ing inclined to lay off and enjoy
themselves frequently with the good
wages being paid them.
