HAYES CHARGES G. O.P.
HAS BROKEN FAITH

the freeholders. The Democratic
county leader refused to consider
the Republican solicitor but called
up Director Dey's home in South
Amboy on the telephone. Mrs. Dey
answered and said her husband was
not home and she did not know
where he could be reached.
Solicitor Richardson today made
the following statement:
"In order that there may be no
doubt about the willingness of the
Board of Freeholders to answer all
reasonable questions and meet the
issues of this campaign squarely ir-
respective of the methods so far
used by the Middlesex County DEM
ocratic Committee, it may be said
that the different questions already
propounded will be referred to the
respective departments for answer,
and as soon as the available infor-
nation is obtained the answers will
be published. This position is taken
by the Board of Freeholders because
it realizes that it is their accomp-
lishments in Office and their records
that the public is entitled to. The
reason that information has not been
furnished before this is attributed
to the method Mr.. Hayes has pur-
sued.
"The controversy with Mr.. Hayes,
however, has served one useful pur-
pose. The people of the county will
know just how much weight to give
information emanating from the
Middlesex County Democratic Com
mittee. There is ample time before
election for the publication of these
replies and there need to be no hur-
ry, but they will be put out in the
ordinary course of the campaign in
which the freeholders intend to give
a full account of what has been ac-
complished during their administra-
ton.
Unable to get in touch with either
Treasurer Hilker or Director Dey,
Chairman Hayes left the office, first
requesting Mr.. Fredericks to tell his
superior that he had called and
wanted Mr.. Hilker to give the neces-
sary authorization which would
make it possible to look at the rec
| ords.
After his visit to the treasurer's
Office Chairman Hayes told a report
er that he had had court case ad-
| iourned this morning so that he
might personally make the investiga-
ton and that Mr.. Vanderpoel had
come to New Brunswick only after
| considerable difficulty in getting
away from some important work.

SILzER SCORES SYSTEM
Of G. 0. P. LEGISLATURE

SOMERVIILE, Oct. 24:-Speak-
ing here last night in behalf of the
Democratic candidates for the legis-
lature from Somerset County, Gov
ernor Silzer scored the system"
which has characterized the Repub-
lican Legislatures of recent years.
He cited illustra tions to snow why
the newspapers called the last Legis-
iature 'the worst in the history of
the state" and declared that a
change in political control at this
time would be the only means of
changing the System"
There have been times when my
party was just as guilty of these con-
ditions as we now find the Repub-
iican Party" continued Mr.. Silzer.
THANK God that this is not the con-
dition within our party at the pres
ent time and that we can with frank
ness and candor, go before the people
and ask for their support"
The governor scored the Republi-
cans for taking the appointive power
for certain offices out of his hand.
He told of the fight among the
House majority members last win
ter over the water bills and the
charge of Assemblyman Hershf1eld,
or FdSSdAC' lHdl tHere was graft anu
the use of money to beat the Evans
water measures. He referred to the
"road grab" bills and said the Ma
this measure adding fifty miles from
Camden to Toms river would mean
an outlay of $3.975.000 to pavement
with permanent surface. He re-
ferred to the doubtful roll call b.
which this act was passed over his
head. Not a thing was done by the
Republicans to help alleviate the
coal situation, declared Mr.. Silzer.
Four bills were introduced but not
one became law.

spoke of the value of the public Ii
brary to the business man. He urg-
ed a greater use of the library and

NO Word From ship

DELEWARE BREAKWATER,
Del. Oct. 24.-No word came from
sea or elsewhere today regarding the
fate of the British steamer West
moreland which is reported to have
sent out an sos call in the midst of
the severe northeast storm on Mon
day night while S5 miles off the
Delaware capes. The call was heard
by the wireless operator aboard the
Danish steamer Phoenix which has
arrived at Newport News.
The Westmoreland, according to
her Philadelphia agents, carried a
crew of about 60.
Shipping men here were inclined
to believe the Westmoreland bound
from Boston for southern ports, is
safe and riding out the gale at sea.
The storm has subsidized here. Ves-
sells that sought the shelter of the
lsarbors here and at Cape May, N. j.,
weathered the blow without any
mishap. The only disaster reported
was the sinking of the coal laden
barge Fort Pierce 20 miles south of
the Delaware capes and the rescue
of the crew of four by the coast
guards stationed at Assateague, Vir-
.ginia.
