SAYS STR|CKER
WAS OFFERED
APPO|NTMEN
Gov. SiIzer Says Position of
Attorney General Was
Offered Prosecutor
HE PRAISES KATZENBACH
Decision of Stricken to Re-
main in Office May Assure
Democratic Unity

Everything is again serene as far
as Democratic politics go in Middle
sex county, although there was a
threatened split over the appoint
ment of a prosecutor to succeed
Joseph E. Stricken, should he have
been appointed by Governor George
s. Silzer as attorney general. How
ever, the governor by appointing
Edward L. Katzenbach of Trenton,
to this Office, saved the day, so to
speak, and the outlook is that every
one will be united in the Democratic
ranks for the next two years at least
as that is the time which Mr.. Stricb-
er still has to serve.
Governor Silzer in an Interview
today when asked If he refrained
from appointing Stricken to the Office
OF attorney general. because of a
possible split in the Democratic
ranks in Middlesex county over the
appointment of a prosecutor to fill
/ the vacancy caused by the advance
M ent of Mr.. Stricken. denied this
to be the reason why Mr.. Stricken
was not appointed and said: "The
reason Mr.. Stricken was not ap-
pointed was because he did not want
the office.'' The governor further
stated that Mr.. Stricken could have
had the appointment of attorney
general If he had wanted it, but
the fact that he did not is the only
treason for his not being appointed.
Asked If Mr.. Stricken might be
appointed to some other office, such
as banking commissioner or clerk
of chancery, the governor said he
did not think it possible for man
to hold a county Office and a state
office at the same time, and pointed
to the fact that yesterday in New
Brunswick Mr.. Stricken made the
statement that he intended to COM
plete his term as prosecutor OF Mid
dlesex county.
In reference to the appointment
of Mr.. Katzenbach of Trenton as
attorney general, Governor Silzer
said he is delighted to have been
able to appoint such an able man
to the office, and pointed to the
fact that Mr.. Katzenbach is young
man of considerable ability. Il
could not have found a better man
| for the Office" said the Governor.
| Some idea of the great surprise
| created by the appointment of Mr..
| Katzenbach and how certain poll
| ticians were that Mr.. Stricken would
! be appointed to the office. may be
obtained from the fact that as late
as yesterday-before it became gem
orally known that Katzenbach had
| been appointed to the office--a COM
mittee of politicians from this city
visited Governor Silzer in Trenton
| in the interest of securing the prose
cutor appointment for Assistant
| Prosecutor John E. Toolan.

Captain Jennie Proves Good

License Here

The spell of the seat wove itself
into the hearts of boy and a girl
and set them looking out over the
horizon with nameless 1ongings. 1t
took possession of the lives of a man
and woman and called them away
from hearth and kindred. 1t sent
them adventuring into strange ports
to bargain with strange men. 1t
broke them, it hurt them, 1t tossed
them. but 1t still calls them. They

last sail shall have been hauled in.
And that's doubtless why the
cabin of the Jennie Crocker, now
undergoing repairs at the Perth Am
boy Dry Dock here, looks SO much
like home. It's the only home that
Captain Nelson Crocker and Cap
tain Jennie Crocker know.
Once they tried fixing up a little
home in Cliftondale, Mass. 1t was
a seven-room house and there was
a place to raise chickens and a little
bed for pansies. They tried it six
weeks and gave up.
Back to the Sea
The sea called them back. A for
rent sign appeared on the seven
room house.
Now there are carpets on the
floor of the cabin of the Jennie

a phonograph is in the corner and
on the table, screwed to the floor to
keep 1t from sliding, Is a grass basket
with a bit of embroidery.
For Captain Nelson Crocker and
Captain Jennie Crocker have given
up. They're not going to leave the
sea any more.
That's why Captain Jennie Crock
er took out the papers the other day
that made her the only woman cap
tain on the seven seas.
DOUBTLESS she could have taken
them out most any time during tnr
twenty years she was sailing as help
mate and chief mate with Captain
Nelson Crocker. her husband.
For once when they were coming

Gives Her Views to Evening
News on Big Problems
Of the Day

Seated in her cabin aboard the
Ruth Martin" which n at the plant
of the Perth Amboy Dry Docks un-
dergoing repairs, Captain Jennie T..
Crocker, the only woman possessing
a license as captain of sailing vessels
on any ocean in the world and the
only woman possessing license as
mate on a steamer, discussed the
modern woman, prohibition and pol
itics in an interview by an Evening
News reporter this morning.
The captain ad Tres the modern
woman and advocates bobbed hair
for the younger girls. The dress OF
today is too loud and how much bet
ter the girls would look in simple
dresses - ,oft tones, she says.
'I do not care for these timsy
dresses at ALL" said the captain. AS
To prohibition, it is really big
problem to discuss. The biggest un-
dertaking in connection with prohl-
hilton is the doing away with
ehootch' which is killing many OF our
people"
CAPTAIN Crocker maintains that
women should have a voice in the
CITY affairs, particularly as to the
schools in the city. A woman under
stands and knows much better than
man what kind of a school Is need
ed for her child, and what is needed
in the school.
The cabin is most pleasant and at
tractive and the sitting room with
its large leather chairs, writing ta-

Crocker and her husband,
Nelson A. Crocker who is shipped as

HAGUE REFUSES
To WORK WITH
ANY CANDIDATE
Jersey Democratic Leader Is
Pleased that Convention will
Be Held in New York
SEES FAvORITE SONS
Says New Jersey Has Men as
Good as Advanced by
Other States
BY GEORGE H. MANNING
washington Correspondent of the
Perth AmbOy Evening News)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16-Mayor
Frank Hague, of Jersey City, Demo-
cratic national committeeman for
New Jersey, is very happy over the
selection of New York City as the
place for holding the Democratic
National convention next June.
Hague favored holding the conven-
tion in New York from the outset
when only few were for Manhattan
and he never wavered in his sup
port when at times it appeared
Chicago or San Francisco would
win.
II have favored holding the con-
vention in New York all the way
through because 1 believed it was a
good thing for the Democrat party
to stage 1t in the east" said Mr..
Hague. Incidentally it will be a
good thing for New Jersey politically
and in a business way. 1t will mean
great deal for Jersey City, Hobo
ken, Newark, Elizabeth, Asbury
Park and Atlantic City in a business
way.
Several thousand people who
will attend the convention in New
York from all over the country will
be sure to visit Asbury Park and
Atlantic City. 1t will bring consid-
cradle business to the Jersey side of
the Hudson. 1 expect"
Insistent efforts of the McAdoo
and Underwood forces at the Demo-
cratic national committee meeting
yesterday to swing Frank Hague in
line for their candidate for the
Presidency were distinctly unsuccess-
FIJI. He was approached by one of
tho McAdoo leaders who asserted
that more than a majority of the
national committeeman were for
McAdoo and invited him to get on
the band wagon.
NO" said Hague emphatically, "I
am for one of New Jerseys favorite
sons for the Democratic presidential
nomination this year.
He declined to commit himself
when questioned as to whether he
will be for Senator Edwards, Cover
nor Silzer or any other prominent
Jersey Democrat.
"That is something that will come
along later" he declared.
'Tt is also much too early yet to
decide whether l will be for McAdoo,
Underwood, Ralston, Davis or any of
the several other candidates, all ex-
cellent men. New Jersey will prob
ably have a favorite son to put for
Nraid as good as any of those now
being mentioned when the proper
time comes"
MIR. Hague went to the White
House at 1880 this morning with
the other members of the Democra-
tic National Committee who called to
meet and pay their respects to Pres
ident Coolidge. Hague took his Hud-
son county friends along with him to
the Whit, House and presented each
of them to the President. In the
party were John J. Fallon, corpora

Her First Command
Now Captain Jennie Crocker is
getting ready to command her first

along as chief mate.
But whether either of them goes

neither of them is going to leave the

make good sailors and those are the
