tie trouble, as their employees had de-
cided to wait until Tuesday before

NO COMMENT ON MOVE
TO Be TAKEN IN ROUMAN|A

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19-Neither
the State Department nor Minister
Jay had any comment to make to-
day upon a report from Bucharest
that the American legation there
would be placed in the custody of a
charge as a measure of diplomatic
pressure to induce the Rumanian
government to adjust pending Amer
lean claims.
Mr.. Jay, on his arrival in Wash
ington a few days ago for confer
ences with Secretary Hughes and
other officials, indicated that he ex-
pected to return to Bucharest but no
definite date has been set. His visit
here is known to have been made at
his own suggestion and Is taken to
indicate the seriousness with which
the situation In Rumania, both as to
claims and as to oil legislation Is
viewed at the State Department.
In view of the situation 1t would
not be surprising If Mr.. jays stay in
the United States should be some
what protracted, nor is it altogether
unlikely that the Rumanian minister
gauged the situation with reasona BILE
accuracy when he advised his gov
ernment that the Bucharest legation
might remain without its chief in
definitely unless some way to meet
the American viewpoint in matters
under discussion between the two
governments was found.

board was appointed, he said, and
that board has suggested the present

crossing at Morgan and at the streets
in Keyport. 1t was projected to
build another road parallel the rail-
road from Morgan to Keyport over
| the Cheesequake meadows and to
widen the underpass at the railroad
in South Amboy. The total improved
ment would have length of six and

inland route, but understood that the
people were in favor of another
route. He said that the South AM
boy-Keyport line was unsuited. that
there is no roadway and the building
Of another road over the marshes
would be highly expensive. He pro-
posed the finland" route already in
existence, which he said from the
layman's point of view would cost
much less than the one proposed by
