MENTION kEAN
As CANDIDATE
Hamilton F. Kean'S Activity in
Bronson Case Rumored to
Mean He Will Run
WOULD OPPOSE EDGE
Senator Edge Seeks to Have
Campaign Manager Bron-
son Recalled at Once
Bv GEORGE ii. MANNING,
washington Correspondent OF Ihe
Perth Amboy Evening News.)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-Repub-
lican National Committee officials
today expressed their firm belief
that Senator Walter r. Edge will
bring all possible pressure to bear
upon John T. Adams, chairman of
the committee, to have him recall
the credentials given eighteen
months ago to Horace e. Bronson, a
New York lawyer, to represent the
committee in campaign work in New
Jersey.
Bronson's activity in Camden dur
ing the past few days in working Tor
the Baird organization campaign ana
representing himself to be the rep
resentative of the Republican nation
al committee has proved very en-
barrassing for the junior New Jer-
sey senator.
The situation has assumed far
greater than local importance since
Senator Edges friends are claiming
that Bronson was sent to South Jer-
sey by Hamilton +. Kean, national
committeeman for the State, and
that his activity is in reality part of
Kean's plan to become n candidate
for senator from New Jersey next
year in opposition to Senator Edge.
Senator Edge has been making
frantic efforts during the past three
days to show that Bronson is an inn
postor and does not represent the
Republican national committee in
any respect.
Horace T.. Bronson, a New York
lawyer, became active in Camden a
few days ago in connection with the
Baird organizations campaign to
control the city government. He
claimed to have been sent TO Cam
den by the Republican National
Committee and is said to have told
some interested parties that he had
authority to charge financial ac-
counts to the Republican national
committee.
Some of Senator Edges friends be-
came disturbed over Bronson's ac-
tivitles, claiming that he was work
ing against the Senator's interests;
but in the interest of Hamilton L.
Kean, Republican national commit
teeman from New Jersey who, they
asserted, aspires to become the
United States Senator from New Jer-
sey in place of Edge.
Senator Edge telegraphed George
B. Lockwood, secretary of the Re-
publican national committee, at the
Washington headquarters on Thurs
day, asking If Bronson had been au-
thorized to represent the committee
in New Jersey. Mr.. Lockwood sent
a reply denying that Bronson had
such authority. Later Senator Edge
called Mr.. Lockwood on the tele-
phone to discuss the Bronson case

NEW YORK, Oct. Is: (By The AS
sociated Press)-The New York
Yankees stand today on the thres-
hold of the hall of world baseball
championships.
Bullet Joe" Bush, pitching the
way he pitched when he got his nick
name, pushed them there. holding
the Giants to three hits. all made by
Irish Meusel, in the fifth game of
the worlds series yesterday. While
Bush was shooting spheroids across
the plate with such bewildering
speed and curves his teammates were
humping the Giants for fourteen hits
and eight runs, winning the game
s to L.
1t takes four games to win the
worlds championship. The Yankees
now have won three, the Giants but
two. The Yankees have three of
their best pitchers rested and ready
to work: the Giants have only one.
John McGraw is famed as the great
est thinker in baseball, but he never
had so much thinking to do as now.
Arthur Nehf. who pitched and won
the third game of the series for the
Giants, has had but two days rest
pitchers usually take three-yet in
order to be safe McGraw is faced
with the logic that he should use
him again today.

MAN SCALDED
At PLANT HERE
Dies After Being Severely
Burned When Still BoiIs
Over

Mathew Koushensky. twenty years
old, of Main street, Sayreville, is
dead and Andrew Butzko of 654
Penn street, this city, is in the city
hospital seriously burned as the re-
suit of an accident in the General
Bakelite Plant here this morning.
Both men were scalded when they
tried to fasten a cover on one of the
bakelite stills on the first floor of
the building, and the boiling bake
lite splashed out on them. Following
the accident, Koushenslxy's body was
removed to the morgue of James J.
Flynn.
According to information received
at the plant, Koushensly was in
charge of the still and had started
it in operation before he discovered
that the still near the top had not
been tightly closed. AS the boiling
bakelite rose in the still to the top
1t began to splash out and while
trying to close the latch of the cover
Koushensky was so seriously burned
that his death resulted.
Butzko, who is foreman of that
department, seeing the effort being
made by Koushensky to close the
still, went TO his assistance and In
so doing was scalded about the face
and back. He was taken to the City
Hospital where it is said he will re-
cover, although it is probable that
he will be confined to the institution
for some weeks.
The Bakelite company located
here in 1910 and this Is the second
serious accident the company has
had The first occurred in 1913 when
man was killed when a defective
steam jacket on one of the stills ex-
ploded.
