GENEVA, Nov II (By The Asso-
ciated Press) I'm the presence of
the official American delegation
headed by Representative Stephen G..
Porter of Pennsylvania, the fourth
international conference for interna-
tional control of the traffic in habit
forming narcotic drugs opened today
in the League of Nations palace. The
conference was presided over by
Herluf Zahle, Danish minister to
Berlin, and leading Danish delegate
to the League of Nations assembly.
The object of the conference is not
only to obtain an agreement for linn
itation of the expectation and i'm
portation of narcotics to medical and
scientific needs, but also to restrict
the growth of the plants from which
they are manufactured to these same
humane requirements.
The delegates assembled today
animatedly discussing what was gen.
orally regarded as the complete fall
ure of the preceding conference
which ended last night and which
was confined to considering the far
Eastern aspects of the opium evil.

TRENTON. Nov. 1.-THE Repub-
lican members of the 1925 legisla-
ture will hold their first conferences
here tomorrow on plans for organ
ization of both the senate and House
for the coming session. 1t is not
likely the assembly majority mem
bers will do more than informally
discuss the situation, but it is quite
within the realm of possibility that
the eighteen state senators and SEN
ators- elect may hold their caucus
Immediately to pick the man to be
senate president and floor leader.
There has been a rumor that Sem
ator William A. Stevens. of Long
Branch. Monmouth county, may en-
ter the lists for the presidency
against William II. Bright, of Cape
May county. who was leader in the
1924 senate. Stevens was the party
whip in 1923 but in the line-up for
the last session the group of senators
known as the Edge men" sidetrack-,
ed him for Firman M. Reeves. of
Cumberland.
However, it was claimed after

ward that Edge was not personally
to blame and that he really favored
Stevens selection. but his friends IN
the caucus would not sanction it.
Although Bright was for National
Committeeman Hamilton F. Kean in
the recent hot senatorial primary
fight against Edge, it is thought the
Cape May man took that course be-
cause of Kean's dry" affiliations
and the necessity for him to back
that kind of a candidate in Cape
May, which is regarded as a dry"
county although there may be wet
spots along its coast.
Last Thursday some of the Edge
group were here and informally
talked over the situation. Bright
was here with them and it was pre-
dicted he would be made senate
president. 1t Is not believed Edge
would hold the support he gave
Kean against the Cape May man.
realizing the latter had to take that
course in order to be re-nominated
and reelected in his home county
last fall.
