ports that a full fledged endorse
ment would be given Governor Sill
ger as a candidate for the Demo-

was a strong sentiment favoring such
action.
Reliable reports indicated that
there was strong possibility of
Chairman Heller submitting the res
olution endorsing Mr.. Silzer for
President to- the committee.
Makeup of the women's delega-
ton to the national convention is
another important piece of business
before the committee. 1t is said

GOVERNOR SAYS
| LEGISLATURE
AGAIN FAILURE
Have Not Given Relief in Four
Great Matters, SiIzer
Claims
EDUCATION - TAXATION
Institutions and Water-Says
the People Will Place
Blame RightfuIIy

TRENTON, March 6.-"The fail
ure of the legislature to give the
state much-needed legislation and
relie1 on education, institutions, wa
ter and taxation is disappointing to
the people of the state" declared
Governor Silzer last night, in speak
ing of the accomplishments Of the
present legislature.
The executive asserted that the
people will place the responsibility
where it belongs and also that he
has used his efforts to procure ac-
ton in behalf of the citizens of New
Jersey.
1T seems difficult to understand
the frame of mind of the Republi-
can leaders with respect to- the out
standing issues to which the atten-
ton of the legislature should have
been given at this session." contin-
ued the governor. but it is their
responsibility. not mine. l have
conscientiously and thoughtfully di-
rected attention to these matters and
called upon. the legislature to act
upon them, but the majoriy has not
seen the wisdom of such action in
view of the political aspects of the
situation, The members of the ma
jority will, therefore, have to face
the consequences of their neglect, for
it is. inconceivable that the people
of our state will allow the incident
to pass without notice.
1.-THE principal difficulty seems to
be in the stand-pat senate.
at am certain that the people OF
New Jersey expect and will demand
some definite action toward the re-
duction of taxation, the burdens OF
the taxpayers having risen to un-
bearable proportions in the last Few
years. and I suggested plans for re-
lief, but they have been sedulously
| ignored.
! ST was certain that the state in
| stuutions should have better consid-
GRAFTON than they have received, ana
! in that belief l urged the adoption
of the departments four-year plan
! of leyying the half-mill tax, by
which funds pressingly needed for
| improvements and extensions might
he obtained, but the majority of the
legislature decided to give them a
ouarter bite. / am just as firmly
convinced that the educational sys-
| fem REQUIRES immediate attention.
and feeling that nothing could pc
done at this session, suggested
survey to determine, on the Judg,
ment of high-class. disinteresteo
citizens, Just what should be done
next wear to meet the situation, but
the majority could not see it. The
whole attitude of the Republicans
annears to be one of expediendys
rather than of responsibility. ana
am sure the people of our state
| will understand. There is still time
for repentance. Let US hope 1t VIII
come.''

COOLIDGE REFUSES TO
GIVE OIL TAX RETURNS

WASHINGTON, March 6:-Presi-
dent Coolidge declined today to turn
over to the oil committee the tax
returns of individuals and corpora
tions prominently mentioned in the
oil investigation.
Replying to a senate resolution
making the request, the President
said he had been advised by the act
ing attorney general that he was
without authority to comply.
The President offered, however, to
cooperate with the secretary of the
treasury in an effort to secure an
amendment to prevailing regulations
which would permit the oil commit
tee to inspect" the returns, if it sc
desired.

ROME, March (By The Ass-c-
ciated Press) ).-Archbishop Hayes OF
New York and Archbishop Munde-
lein of Chicago will probably be
nominated as cardinals, according 70
the view taken in well-informed
Vatican quarters. Up to this time,
however, no official decision has
been made public and so far as can
be learned no positive determination
MS to the appointments has been
reached.
The above dispatch apparently sets
at rest reports circulated in the
United States yesterday that Arch
bishops Hayes and Mundelein were
to be created members of the Sacred
College at the forthcoming Easter
consistory. Similar reports preceRed
the last consistory, held in Decem-
ber, but no foreign cardinals were
named at that time.
Officials of the New York arch
diocese yesterday said the arch
bishops were making the ad limina
visit to Rome which is required
every five years.
