The diners discussed the relative
strength of former Governor Cox Of

McAdoo could enter the convention
with 400 delegates with others ready
to switch to him.
Amidon, who is now en- route for
Europe il expected to return in Sept

clubs would be organized in many
states, and the campaign would be
ready TO be brought into the open.
The McAdoo supporters concluded
that IL McAdoo announced his candida

Death of President Harding
Changes Aspect of 1924
Presidential Election
BY GEORGE II. MANNING
Washington Correspondent of the
Perth AmbOY Evening News

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Calvin
Coolidge is almost certain to be the
Republican nominee for President in
1924.
The death of President Harding
completely upsets all the predictions
and calculations made by the politi-
cal experts during the past twelve
months as to the presidential can
didates the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis will nominate next June. The
booms for Hiram Johnson, Ford,
McAdoo. LaFollette and Underwood
must all now be reappraised.
If Calvin Coolidge conducts his
administration along progressive
lines from now until the Republican
national convention is held next June
he is almost certain to get the nomi-
nation. Progressiveism is, of course,
compared in this sense with the re-
actionarfsrn and conservatism of the
Harding administration.
A progressive administration by
Coolidge will snuff out the presden-
tial boom for Senator Hiram John
son so far as its adoption by the
regular Republicans is concerned.
and will make the clamor of Sena-
tors Magnus Johnson, Hiram john
son, LaFollette, Brookhart, Frazier,
Shipstead and Ladd for more pro-
gressive government fall on deaf
ears.
1t will also. by substituting a pro-
gressive for reactionary admins
tration, check the, tide that has been
sweeping towards nomination and
election of a progressive Democra-
tic candidate in preference to sec
ond term of Harding.
1t has been conceded on all sides
that if President Harding was re-
nominated he would be defeated
either by the Democratic nominee or
by a third candidate put up by the
progressive Republicans who, it has
been believed, would not support
Harding.

S|LzER URGES
DEEP RESPECT
Asks that Business be SuS-
pended Friday in Memory
of Harding

TRENTON, Aug. 6-Goyernor Sill
ger today issued a proclamation eu-
olizing the late President Harding
and urging that business cease, as
nearly as possible, on next Friday,
the day of burial ---
The proclamation follows:
New Jersey joins with the nation
In mourning the death of President
Harding. He was one o. the best
beloved Presidents. His hkeable
personality. his sympathetic interest
in the welfare of the people and his
unwillingness to do an unkind thing
or to injure anyone, were his out
standing characteristics. In this par
ticular he and President Mckinley
were strikingly alike.
He was deeply conscious of the
responsibilities of the great office
that he held, applied himself untir-
ingly to the great work that he was
called upon to do, and without doubt
his death was hastened by the many
burdens which he was called upon
to bear.
THE people of this state desire
that fitting respect be paid to his
memory. 1t is impossible for most
of US to be present in person at the
burial service which will be held
at the national capital and at his
home in Marion.
Therefore, 1, George S. Silzerr
governor of the State of New Jer-
sey. do hereby recommend that al
public buildings be draped in mourn
ing and that flags be placed at half
staff for a period of thirty days and
that on Friday, August 10. the dag
of the burial of the President, the
people of this state do cease, as fal
as possible, from their usual bust
ness. and that fitting memorial serv-
ices be held throughout the state or
that day.
'Niven under by hand and the
great seal Of the State of New Jer'
sey, this sixth day of August, onF
thousand, nine hundred and twenty
three. and in the independence OF
the United States, the one hundred
and forty-eight.'

NO MOVE MADE YET
Buses Continue to Carry All
Passengers Week -end
Rush Was Handled
NO MOVE MADE YET

NEWARK, aug. 6:-The Public
Service Railway Company will be
called upon by the Public Utility
Commission to show cause why it
should not furnish transportation to
the people of New Jersey unless an
immediate move is made by the
company and the striking trolleymen
to settle their differences, according
to an announcement by Harry V.
Osborn, chairman of the commission,
Today.
The announcement was made fol-
lowing telephone conferences by
Chairman Osborn with Utility Com
missioners Autenteith and Gnichtel.
In addition, the announcement
said, the commission will approve
the issuance of sufficient long term
jitney permits to ensure adequate
transportation service for the pub
lie. not only during the strike but
after it is settled.
The announcement stated the be-
lief of the commission that there
can be no doubt that some reasona-
BILE settlement is possible and nego-
tiations should now be in progress to
that end"
John l.. O'Toole, vice president Of
the Public Service Railway Com
pany, in response to inquiry, said
that the company had no statement
to make at this time upon the an
nouncement of the commission.
William Wepner, president of the
trolleymen's union, said that the
men stand ready to arbitrate their
differences with the company at any
time by means of the American plan
of arbitration.
Reports from various cities
brought forth the opinion that mo
one would know there was a strike"
so efficient are the jitney buses in
handling the travelling public. Week.
end rushes of pleasure seekers head
ed for beaches and amusement parks
found the buses prepared to fur
nish them with transportation in all
cities, and the expected overburden-
ing and congestion was hardly no.
ticeable.
The first indication of inadequate
service by the jitney busses came
from New Brunswick, when today,
the sixth of the strike, merchants
there wired to the Public Service
Railway Company at Newark, a re-
quest for the Resumption of trolley
service between that place and Som
erville, a nearby town. The mer-
chants backed up their request for
trolley service by an offer to pay the
striking trolleymen the difference
between the wages the company was
payin them and the wages the men
have demanded.
The men struck for 80 per cent
increase. Salaries of the trolley men
were based on so cents an hour for
a six day week of nine hours a day.
The majority of the men, however,
had worked seven days week and
twelve hours a day. Included in
their strike demands was a six day
week.

SPECIAL CHURCH
SERVICE FRIDAY
Simpson M. E. to Hold Union
Memorial ServiCe-0ther
Churches Plan Meeting

Mention was made of President
Harding's death in every pulpit of
the city yesterday. special sermos
and prayers in commemoration of
the deceased being conducted in sew
eral houses of worship. Present in
dications are that practically all of
the churches in the city will con-
duet special services on Friday, hon.
oring the memory of the twenty
ninth president of the United States.
Rev. Wilbert Westcott has already
arranged to hold special services in
the Simpson NJ. E. church next Fri
day morning at 1890 o'clock. AS
several of the pastors of other
churches are away on their vacations
at this time, Rev. Mr.. Westcott cor
daily invites the members of the
congregation of these churches to at
tend the services in the Methodist
church. Although Mr.. Westcott is
also on his vacation at the present
time he will come to this city from
Manasquan, Friday morning to per-
sonally conduct the service and de-
liver a memorial address in recog-
milton of the sacrifices made by
President Harding during his admin
istration, the last of which was the
supreme sacrifice-that of his own
life.
President Coolidge has made the
request that appropriate observance
be given the memory of the late
president on Friday when President
Harding's body will be laid to rest
in the family plot at Marion, Ohio.
In compliance with this request the
rectors of Catholic churches in the
city are understood to be planning
special services, the Christian
church members have been invited
to 60 to the Simpson NJ. e. churcn
and the various Jewish congrega-
tons will likely meet for a service
of worship and sympathy in honor
of the deceased president.
