Authorities of Camden and sIle town of Nep- tune revealed fears as the assembly met that unless the state comes to their rescue in a few days they will have to close schools to obtain money for relief purposes. In Ewing Township, with a population of 5000 the 450 families formerly on relief rolls begged their living from mer- chants and neighbors with the au- thority of begging permits issued by the townships governing committee.
 Many Cities In Bad
 Samuel s. Kenworthy, executive secretary of the League of New Jer- sey Municipalities, estimated at special league meeting last night that 342 of 449 municipalities in the state were in condition almost as bad. A majority of communities, he said, can carry no more than one- fourth of the burden thrust upon them last Monday when the state relief fund became exhausted.
 The problem confronting Tren- ton, the capital, with a population of 123,000, illustrates the plight of most of the states cities. Relief to Trenton's indigent has been costing approximately $363, 1000 a month. Of that amount, the state has provided $350,000 and the city $13,OOO. No one has been unable to predict where the city is to obtain the money needed.
 Jobless Will Not Quit
 John Spain, Jr., whom the lnem- ployed men in the assembly cham Der elected speaker" of mock as- sembly session Tuesday night, said that his group would have heavy endorsements today. At times in the sitting marathons" more than 400 persons. including wives and children of the mock legislators, have joined them.

By a unanimous vote, ito help some other guys get jobs," the group adjourned yester- day to the senate chamber while civil service examination was held in the assembly's quarters, but re- turned when the examination was ended.
 Leaders PeSsimistic
 Legislative leaders were privately pessimistic about chances to obtain quick replenishment of the depleted relief treasury. The fund fell into its present state because the legisla- ture repealed a state sales tax last year without providing a substitute revenue. The fear of public opinion that compelled repeal of the sales tax, the leaders thought, would pre- vent its re-adoption. Other tax schemes have gained little support.
 Suddenly Cancelled
 Trenton, N. J., April 24.-(UP) - The extraordinary session of the New Jersey assembly called to con- sider the critical relief situation was suddenly cancelled today while un- employed thronged the assembly chamber and state house police armed with tear gas maintained a constant guard against rioting.
 Speaker Marcus w. Newcomb call ed the session shortly before the scheduled meeting time at 10 a. m. on the ground that there was mo point" in converting today since the state senate is not scheduled to meet until Monday.
 The cancellation came as sur- prise at a time when increasing numbers of unemployed hunger strikers poured into the assembly room and the balcony. Many of the unemployed have been in the Capi- tol building since Tuesday demand ing that the legislature provide im- mediate funds for relief.
