Part of State

MILTON NAMES vIcKERS

JERSEY CITY. Dec. S.-William
Griffin, local broker and alleged
boss of the bootlegging gang, for
the protection of whose operations
several Weehawken police officials
and patrolmen have been indicted,
was surrendered to Hudson county
officials today by his counsel, George
E. Cutley. Griffin was RELEASED in
$4,000 bail.
Chairman Harry j. Hearns of the
Weehawken police committee also
surrendered himself today on
charge of conspiracy and was re-
leased in the same bail. A third
development today was the an
nouncement that Supreme Court
Justice Minturn will charge the De-
cember term of the grand jury to-
morrow concerning the continuation
of the investigation of the rum con-
spiracy. The November term ad-
iourned last week after handing
down twelve indictments in the case.
George B. Vickers. former county
prosecutor, a Republican and an at
torney for the New Jersey Anti-Sa-
loon League. today assumed the po-
sttion of special prosecutor ever the
twelve. men who have been indicted
in connection with the alleged opera
tions of bootleggers in the reported
landing of millions of dollars worth
of liquor on the Weehawken water
front.
Vickers' appointment as special
prosecutor was announced last n.gnt
by Prosecutor John Milton of Hud-
son county, who said that the trial
of the indicted men, eleven of whom
are police officials, may be expected
before Christmas. Milton stated that
he had appointed Vickers to repre-
sent the prosecution because the lat
ter is a Republican, while the in
d.cted men as we'll as the prosecutor
and his assistants are Democrats.
'I fel that the withdrawal of my
self and my office from the case, and
the engagement of Mr.. Vickers, will
free my office from the criticisms
that Father Bennett and Samuel
Wilson, assistant superintendent of
the New Jersey Anti-Saloon League
have expressed" he said.
The Rev. George F. Bennett, a
pastor of the Roman Catholic church
and who played a prominent part in
bringing about the indictments, re-
Gently announced he had no faith
in the prosecutors Office"
The police investigation into the
reported operations of the bootleg
gers turned yesterday to a figure in
Brooklyn whose identity was shroud-
ed in mystery. According to the
story being investigated by the Of
ficials, this man may prove to the
head of the alleged liquor ring
charged with having protected the
bootleggers.
The two men, Charles D. Kirk and
John Dorsey. on whose affidavits the
twelve men were indicted, were re-
leased yesterday in $4,000 bail each.
They were held as material wit
nesses originally on $4,000 bail
each.

COALITION Of
THREE PARTIES
Political Situation in Germany
UncIarified as Result of
the Election

BERLIN, Dec. 8 (By The Associa-
ted Press) The outcome of yester-
days general elections leaves the
parliamentary situation wholly un-
clarified, as the new party lineup IN
the Reichstag precludes the forma-
ton of a three-party coalition COM
posed of the Socialists, the Clericals
and the Democrats. in the opinion
of political leaders.
According to the latest returns
these three parties have elected a
total of 227 members of the Reich
stag. and with only this number to
depend upon the leaders fear this
liberal combination would be un-
able to command a dependable ma
jority even If it were given the sup
port of the Bavarian peoples party
with its nineteen votes.
The alternative suggested by the
increased number of deputies due to
the Unexpectedly heavy vote is that
of a four-party coalition, taking In
the Socialists, the Clericals, the DEM
ocrats and the Stresemann Peoples
party. The component units of this
would represent political
elements of hostile contrasts, how
ever. and it could only maintain a
parliamentary existence, IL is pointed
out If the parties composing il SUBJ
scribed to political truce.
