SEIZURE OF BRITISH SHIP
CAUSES PRESS COMMENT


LONDON, Nov. 6.-(By The Asso-
ciated ss)-Dispatches received
here from Jacksonville, Fla, report
ing the seizure of a British liquor
carrying vessel within the new
twelve-mile limit" which are fea-
turned prominently on the first page
of the London newspapers today,
caused some surprise in British min
isterial quarters.
There is an apparent desire on the
part of officials here to make it clear
that while Secretary Hughes propos-
al for the curbing of rum-running
has been tentatively agreed to by the
imperial conference it has not been
enacted into law or embodied in a
treaty.
The draft of the proposed treaty.
comforting on the United States the
right of search and seizure over sus-
pected British vessels within the
specified distance from the shore is
still in the hands of the experts and
will not be presented to the imper-
ial conference before Wedneday or
Thursday.
It is felt here that until the new
treaty is signed by both governments
and ratified by congress the existing
three-mile territorial limit must re-
main in force.

Party leaders we're divided today
in their opinion as to what candl-
dates would be favored by the voters
at the polls throughout the county
today. Democratic leaders laugh
ingly declared that it was good
Democratic" weather but the G. o..
p. heads discounted this by declar-
Ing that the large registration
throughout the county foretold a
Republican victory from top to bot
tom.
The early voting was quite heavy
In Perth Amboy and indications
were that a record number of ballots
would be cast before the polls close
at Z o'clock tonight. The registra-
ton in many of the districts on the
last registration day was the great
est in the history of those polls but
the totals have been considerably IN
creased since by those who regis
tered by affidavit.
The unfavora Bile weather failed to
keep the voters at home and both
parties had hundreds of automo-
biles at work, taking voters to and
from the polls. All of the candi-
dates were optimistic of their
chances to be elected and they to-
gether with their lieutenants, were
of those favorable to their candi-
dates.
State, county and city issues of
unusual importance are to be found
involved in this years election. The
fight being carried on throughout
the state i'll counties electing state
senators will no doubt result in a
|. Republican majority being elected to
i5khe upper house as it will be neces-
J Bary for the G. o. p. constituents to
elect but one of their eight candi-
dates. The assembly fight takes a
different aspect as there are hold
overs, In the lower house, sixty
new members being elected annually.
In an effort to have an assembly
which is Democratic. Governor Sill
ger took the stump in the campaign
and pleaded with the voters to give
him a friendly lower house. A
strenuous campaign was made in
MiddIesex county, the governors
home. and a spirited fight is antici-
pated.
In the county sheriff. three free
holders and two coroners are being
elected today. The shrievalty can
didates went about their campaigns
quietly but effectively while the free
nOlQeE llaNC SAesHS Sh III a
series of speaking and newspaper
charges and counter charges. The
Board of Freeholders is made up of
seven Republicans. Three of them
seek reelection. The Democrats
rannot gain control of the board even
though they elect all of their candi-
dates but a minority on the board
will make it possible for them to
give a great amount of publicity to
the actions of the majority and OPP
pose measures which they believe
to be detrimental to the residents.
The fight in the city Is one which
Is likely to result in the candidates
being elected by close margins. An
alderman-at-large and three alder
men are being elected. The Demo
cratic control of the board can he
broken only if the Republicans elect
three of their fopr candidates. Moth
:. ing is impossible, the Republicans
% point out, but the Democrats fee
y certain it can't be done. The Demo
Gratis have only to elect two of theil
four candidates to retain a majority
vote in the council.

statewide election of a new state
assembly and eight new state sena-
tors which began with the opening
of the polls at 6 o'clock this morning

heavy for an "off year."
Mercer county was being swept
by unusually heavy voting but with

Favorable Impression

PARIS, Nov. (By The Associated
Press ):-Ambassador Jusserand's s
cabled report on his conversation
with Secretary of State Hughes in
Washington yesterday, received by
Premier Poincare today, was said at
the foreign office to have made
pleasing impression there, although
nothing in the ambassadors dispatch
indicated what Secretary Hughes
may have observed in answer to the
ambassadors full statement of The
French position on reparations gem
orally and on the proposed expert
committee in particular.
The tone of the conversation was
such, however, it was remarked by
a high official at the Qua d'Orsay, as
to make incomprehensible the dis
patches received from Washington
by way Of London tending to show
that Secretary Hughes and President
Coolidge had taken a decisive atti-
tude on the scope of the committees s
inquiry
These dispatches are causing great
irritation in French official circles,
where they are considered as part of
the scheme to isolate France and
oblige her to accept the British plan
of reparation and abandon a consid-
erable part of her claim on Germany
without any consideration.
Dispatches from London declaring
Great Britain, Belgium and Italy
now are in accord to oppose the
French point of view are considered
as part of the same offensive.
A high official declared it was pre-
posterous to think that allies pos
sessing less than half the total claims
on Germany could settle reparation
problems Independently of France
whose interest was more than half.

ON PREPARATIONS
But Veil of Official Silence Has
Been Thrown Over Latest
Developments
NOTHING Is AUTHENTIC
Ambassador JuSSerand Calls
at White House lust Before
Cabinet Session

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-With a
complete statement of the conflict
ing views of the European allies be-
fore 1t, the American government
today weighed painstakingly the
question whether the door had been
closed to American aid in an ex-
pert reparations inquiry.
In no quarter was there any au-
thentic indication how soon a de-
cision would be reached, or in what
direction the opinions of high Off
cials were tending. 1t was apparent
however, that hope of an eventual
agreement had not been lost.
Shortly before President Coolidge
and his cabinet assembled for their
regular Tuesday meeting, Ambassa-
dor Jusserand of France called at
the White House and spent twenty
minutes with the chief executive. He
said he had come primarily to pay
his respects, but left inquirers to
draw their own differences as to
what subjects may have been dis
cussed.
Yesterday the ambassador, Just
back from Paris, talked for more
than two hours with Secretary
Hughes, outlining the reasons why
Premier Poincare objects to the un-
restricted reparations inquiry favor
ed by the United States and appar-
emily agreeable also to Great Brit
ain. Italy and Belgium.
The long conference between the
secretary and the French ambassa-
dor led to many rumors of compro-
mise on the one hand, and of a dead
lock on the other. For none OF
these was there any basis in the
outgivings of responsible officials.
Both at the state department and at
the French embassy it was empha-
sized that in the present delicate
stage of the negotiations what pass
ed at the conference must remain a
closed book.
In authoritative quarters it was
indicated. however. that future ex-
changes between Washington and
Paris, intended to insure a cleaner
understanding of the position of the
two governments, must be awaited
before there could be final decis-
ion. 1t was said authoritatively that
nothing had transpired to finally dis
pell the hope of administration Off
cials in an agreement permitting of
American aid in the proposed in
quiry.
A veil of official silence has been
thrown over this latest development
in the situation. Neither the French
ambassador nor Secretary Hughes,
who later conferred with President
Coolidge on their conversation would
discuss it. The White House also
was silent on the matter.
1t thus appeared that neither side
regarded the issue as closed and that
the negotiations would continue on
the French position which, in its in
sistence that the inquiry be limited
to the present" capacity of Ger
many to pay, was understood here
to be the only obstacle to a final
agreement.

Suggest AcIkersOn

The name of Judge Henry Elijah
Ackerson, Jr., of Keyport, a lay
member of the Court of Errors and
Appeals. also has been mentioned in
connection with the naming OF a
successor to Supreme Court Justice
Bergen, deceased. Judge Ackerson,
a Democrat, is an ex-senator from
Monmouth county and was appoint
ed to the errors court in 1919. His
supporters maintain that during his
term as judge he has displayed his
ability as judge and is entitled to the
higher appointment.
The appointment by the governor
is subject to the approval of the
state senate. 1t is therefore likely
that the appointee will have to meet
the approval of Senator Arthur N.
Pierson, of Westfield, the Union
county member of the upper House.
1t Is said by friends of Judge Ack-
erson that he is exceptionally well
fitted for the Supreme Court bench.
He was born in Hazlet, October Is,
1880. His family moved to Keyport
a year later. He was admitted to
the New Jersey bar as an attorney
at-law March Z, 1904, and was made
counsellor-at-law and master in
chancery November 28, 1909.
He has been attorney of the bor-
ough of Keyport, and counsel TO the
Board of Freeholders of Monmouth
county, a post he occupied for seven
years. He is a director of and at
torney for the Peoples National
Bank of Keyport. He was elected to
the state senate in 1914, and re-
elected in 1917. He resigned as
senator to accept appointment as lay
judge of the Court of Errors and
Appeals in 1919, His term will ex-
pire April IL. 1925. His compensa-
tion as lay judge is $40 for every
day he is engaged in court. The
salary of justice of the Supreme
Court is $4,000 annually, and the
term seven years.
Prosecutor Joseph e. Stricken, of
Middlesex county, has been mention
ed as a likely appointee for the office
as have Common Pleas Judge Alfred
A. Stein and former Judge James
c. Connolly, both of Elizabeth.

TRENTON, Nov. 6. - The polls
opened at o'clock this morning in
the election for members of the state
legislature and county and municipal
officers. They will close tonight at
Z and by midnight it is likely that
most of the results will be known.
Altogether there are nine women
running for places in the House of
assembly this year. One of them Is
Miss Margaretta Fort. on the Essex
Republican assembly ticket. She is
daughter of the late Governor
John Franklin Fort. OF the nine
candidates seven are running on the
Democratic side, two in Hudson, two
in Essex and one each in Salem, Pas
sale and Union. The other Repub-
lican is in Ocean, Mrs. Joseph
Thompson, of New Egypt. MRS
Catherine Finn, of North Hudson,
and Miss May Carty, of Jersey City,
are the women candidates on the
Hudson Democratic ticket.
In the last House there. were three
women members, two Republicans
from Essex and one Democrat from
Hudson.
There is a big mayoralty contest to
be decided in Paterson wherey Fred
Van MORT, Democrat, who has serv-
ed two terms, is fighting for a third.
The Republicans have named Colin
Mclean and hope to land him a win
ner.
The Democrats have directed the
campaign from their side toward
capturing the House of assembly. If
they are successful this would pre-
vent any measures passing over the
veto of Governor Silzer at the next
session, inasmuch as it requires the
concurrence of both branches of the
legislature to do this.
