EDGES VICTORY IS FORERUNNER
 OF HARD FIGHT
Will Be Opposed By Pro- hibitiOnist, Democrat
 And Independent

NEWARK N. J., Sept. 24.-As be- lated returns from yesterdays primary came in today, the majority of Senator Walter E. Edge over National Commit teeman Hamilton F. Kean for nomina- tion as republican senatorial candidate increased to 52,41S with all but 23a scattering districts of the 2,559 re- ported. The vote was Edge 211 ,490 Kean 159,072. MT. Kean telegraphed Senator Edge a pledge of "hearty sup port"
 Senator Edges victory was generally considered today as. victory for the solid liberal clements. MT. kean was supported by the Anti-Saloon League. The fight was bitter one, with the prohibition question perhaps the fore most issue.
 klan Suport Charged.
 Edges supporters had openly de- clared that Kean had the general fol- lowing of the Ku Klux, Klan. MT. Kean had never admitted that this was true.
 Senator Edge was also opposed by the National Non-Partisan campaign committee of the American Federation of Labor. Mir. Kean had frequently as- serted in the campaign. that Mir. Edge had failed to stand by President Cool idge and that change of party contro. was necessary.
 Senator Edge asserted that he had supported President Coolidge and criti- cized his opponents for the sort of cam Doion which he assarted Kean'S ad- herents waged.
 Hard Fight Ahead
 Senator Edges victory will mark the beginning Sof another hard fight to be decided in the election in November, it was admitted today. The Rev. Dr. James K. Shields, former superintend- ent of the state Anti-Saloon league, will be an independent candidate for senator in addition to Major F. w.. Donnelley of Trenton, democrat, and George l.. Record, Jersey City, inde- pendent progressive and adherent of Senator La Toilette. Dr. Shields an nounced that he would withdraw from the contest if Mir. Kean were nomi- mated.
 The first woman to enter congress from New Jersey may have appeared in Mrs. Mary T. Norton, vice chairman of the state democratic committee, who was unopposed for the nomination in district which is normally democrat.
 John Eagan of the eleventh district, the only democratic congressman to face opposition for renomination, ap- parently was defeated by Oscar l.. Auf Der Held, who ran on q light wine and beer platform.

PRESIDENTS AD' IS SOLICITED. BY PHILADELPHIA.
Butler Stays Or Corrup-
 tion Is Exposed, Says . League
(By Associated Press.)

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 24.-Presi- dent Coolidge was urged tonight by the Law Enforcement League of Philadei- phia to intervene in the controversy between Mayor Kendrick and his di- rector of public safety, Brigadier Gen cral Smedly D. Butler, in a telegram signed by William R. Nicholson, Jr the secretary.
 The league told Mir. Coolidge that he alone 'can save Philadelphia from fu- ther disgrace and humiliation" and asked that he ''act to avert this calamity" when he comes to Philadel- phia tomorrow.
 The President will deliver an ad- dress here at the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the meeting of the first continental congress and of the 2O0th anniversary of the founding of the Carpenters company.
 Possesses Evidence
 "The Law Enforcement League" added the message to the President possessed signed documentary evidence charging political corruption all down the line in Pennsylvania by federal of flee holders and that it is the worst spot in the Union. This is not publicly known to date, but the removal of Di- rector Butler. whom you enabled 10 come here. will necessitate the publica' ton by the organization as our duty to the nation. The document is signed by one of the highest officials in your administration
 The Enforcement League issued call for a mass meeting next Monday night ito give every citizen an oppor- tunity tO exnreSS his attitude toward the inhuman efforts of the chief exc cutive of this city to discard valiant marine whose only real offense had been the successful execution of orders received from the chief executive of Philadelphia
 Mayor Kendrick. in the opinion of close observers of the situation, clearly indicated today that this letter to Gen eral Butler. which was prepared Mon day. but withheld because of the gent erals illness, contained a request for his resignation.
 Will Re Mayor
 Tn the last analysis said Mir. Ken drick. "1 am mayor of Philadelphia, and I am going to be mayor. I will not be intimidated nor coerced by any one. If cant have a man in my cab inet who will co-oprate with me I'll have another even if I have to change them every day. 1 had nerve enough to bring General Butler to Philadelphia and I have nerve to fire him."
 Mayor Kendrick added he would say nothing further until General Butler has recovered and returned to his desk and that his letter would not be delivered until that time.

LEOPOLD, LOEB
 TIRE OF PRISON;
 PLAN FREEDOM
Rumors Spread As Dar- row Visits Young
 Slayers
(Leased Wire To The Age-Herald)

CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-Nathan F.. Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb, murders of Robert Franks, want to be free.
 With but thirteen days of their life sentences served in Joliet prison, the two wealthy 19-year-oid boys who so blithely confessed mudrering little boy for money and a thrill, already have initiated move which they hope will at least result in their transfer to some institution other than the State penitentiary at Joliet.
 Simultaneously with the return from Joliet of Clarence s. Darrow, their chief counsel during the hearing before Justice Caverly, word reached the states attorneys office here that the two young prisoners had tired of the work and routine at Joliet and that they had discussed means whereby they might first, be transferred elsewhere, and second. be restored to liberty when public sentiment against them had died down. t<-
 Darrow, asked whether he intended to begin any move to have his clients taken from Joliet, replied:
 Not For Many Years
 'I do not believe that they will be free for many, many years. Of course, if they should become insane they would be transferred to an asylum, but that is matter which the state of. Illinois would automatically handle"
 In this connection it was recalled that dispatch from Joliet Tuesday had quoted Loeb as telling fellow prisoner that the only way to get out of Joliet would be to go crazy.
 Leopold shows the strain more than Loeb does," Darrow said, in discussing his visit with the slayers. "The hands of both those boys are bruised and caIloused and they are not happy"
 Some of the prison officials would not be surprised if in the near future both Leopold and Loeb display evidences of insanity, they sent word to the authorities here. Loeb is much dissatis- fled over the fact that he is compelled to perform daily tasks in the prison factory and Leopold has admitted to keepers at the prison that he would murch rather have his books and study than work.
 States Attorney Robert E. Grove, asked whether he would oppose any move to have Loeb and Leopold trans
 
 ferred, replied:
 As Crimuially Insane
 q don't see what any such move would get them. If they develop evi- dences of insanity hearing will have to be held. If they are really insane they will be transferred to an asylum for the criminal insane. And they will be treated as criminally insane persons.
 ''The state will vigorously resist any attempt to obtain a pardon for these vicious murderes and, in my opinion there is no way in which they can be transferred to anything except the state asylum where criminals are kept"
 Loeb and Leopold lately have pro fessed an acute interest in the methods which Harry Thaw used to get himself committed to an asylum. Both boys are said to have informed their relatives that they would much prefer incarcera' tion in a semi-private sanitarum than in the states prison. Darrow may have left loop hole for such move during the hearing, as he continually insisted that both boys were victims of mental disease that fell short of legal insanity

 have jerked open the door and let the ghastly skeletons of the department of justice scandals tumble out on the floor in plain view again just when repub- Iicans thought they had them securely locked up for the duration of the cam 'fpaign.
 In one sense, however, these incidents. together with the discovery that La Toilette is running stronger in the west than was formerly suspected. have had a healthy effect in the republican camp. There had been an atmosphere of op- timism here, which has bordered on over-confidence, and some republican workers feel that it is better for the party to get good jolt now than on the morning of November ,. The re- suit of these developments, they say, will be to spur workers on harder and eliminate the danger of over-confidence which had caused many of them to lean back and wait for election day.

India alone IS represented by Slkhs. Jains, Parsis and smaller and newer Brahmo-Somaj and AryaSomaj faiths. Other religions, or branches of reli- gions, included in the study are Sufism, found everywhere in the world of Islam : Bahaism, which originated in Persia and has spread widely to the United States and other western countries; the Chinese religions based on the teachings ofLao-Tze and Confucius, and the prim- itive faiths of the Maoris, Dantas, and east and west Africans.
 First Of Its Kind
 It is said to be the first conference of it's kind ever held, inasmuch as a na- tive or actual adherent of each religion will himself explain the tenets of his belief and what they mean to him and the life of his people. It is being held under the auspices of the school of Ori- ental studies and the Sociological so- ciety. A distinguished list of native lecturers will discuss the bilogical, an thropological, geographical, psyichologi- cal, historical, scholarly, and synthetic approaches to religion.
 Sir Edward Denison Ross, director of the School of Oriental Studies, is chairman of the conference. Sir Ed ward has studied extensively in Flu rope, Asia Minor, Central Asia, China, and Persia.
 Discussing the scope of the meeting, the chairman noted that Christianity and Judaism are regarded as too com prehensive in themselves to permit of inclusion in a conference of this kind. Explaining in an interview some of the faiths included, Sir Edward sad
 Has American Following
 "Baha ism originated with Baha'u1- lah in Persia about the middle of last century, and had it's headquarters at Acre. Baha was persecuted and put to death, and his followers were exiled to Palestine. As it aims at combining the best tenets of many faiths in a uni versal religion, it has made headway in western countries, and has consider able following in America, although it sprang originally from Islam"
 Brahmo-Somaj and Arya-Somaj he added, were also united during the last century-in India. The first aimed at combining Hinduism, Islam and Chris tianity, and the second at reviving the traditional aspects of ancient Hindu faith. They have their headquarters at Quadian in the Punjab, and being
