Y 119— U-7-7t* Sailed From Perth Amboy Last Friday-1 Missing in Wreck on Coast The Singleton Palmer, the flve mastcd schooner which was rammed yesterday morning by the Clyde pas senger liner Apache, off the Dela ware coast, near Fenwick Island light, sailed from the Perth Amboy Dry Dock Company's plant here on Friday for Norfolk where she was scheduled to take on a cargo of coal for Boston. The Apache and the Gloucester of the Merchants and Miners' line, which came to the scene of the accident following wire less calls for help, picked up the crew of the vessel. The impression is, however, that Bngineer Swanson, a Swedish-American, had been lost. According to information obtained here today, the crew of the Palmer was signed by Captain J. Griffin in Boston and New York. None of them are Perth Amboy men. Two of the crew of the Palmer, Sven Lanstrom and a black Barba dian, Thomas Jones, were brought into New York yesterday by the Apache. The entire crew on the Palmer consisted of twelve men. According to Lanstrom, mate of the vessel, she was sailing through a placid sea off Fenwick Island light at about 2:30 yesterday morning, with not a cloud to hide the stars. When the Apache's lights were sight ed. It was the duty of the Apache to give way to the Palmer, but the big steamer continued on her course with the result that the Palmer was rammed with such force that every man aboard her was thrown off their feet and Lanstrom was tossed into the sea. * __ a. — i — f nnr.4 n t Inn rnoolvAfl from the Perth Amboy Dry Dock Company here, it is likely that the France & Canada Steamship Cor poration, the owners of the vessel, will place another ship in service at once to do the work scheduled for the Palmer. The company has two vessels now anchored in the harbor here, one of these is the six-masted Edward J. Lawrence and the other the five-masted Oakley C. Curtis. It is likely that one of these will be chosen by the firm to do the work. The Palmer was owned by the France & Canada Steamship Cor poration and hailed from New York. The vessel saw considerable war service in which several of her five masted sisters were lost. She was built at Waldoboro, Me., in 1901 and measured 2.859 tons gross and was 294 feet long. Last week the ship was hauled onto the dry dock here and was repainted and otherwise repaired for the trip. There is a possibility that a coast guard cutter may tow the damaged vessel into the Delaware Breakwater as she was left a derelict in the course of coast wise shipping.

F.* 11TH HOUR CAMPAIGNING IN CITY AND COUNTY _ .1, . ..H: The eyes of the state arc turned toward Middlesex county this year owing, to the important bearing which the outcome of the stale senate and assembly contests will have on the make-up of the two houses of the legislature this year. Three Republicans now represent Middlesex county in the assembly and the result of this race will play an impor tant part on the make-up of this body. According to Tren- ; ton reports, factional differences on the Democratic side will play an important part in the outcome of the voting in Mid I dlesex county. _ RIVAL LEADERS EXPRESS CONFIDENCE OF VICTORY In another twenty-four hours the voters of this city—about 9,000 in number—will be going to the polls to cast their ballots for the men who, in their estimation, are best fitted to carry on the business ad ministration of Perth Amboy. The candidates in an effort to take ad vantage of the few remaining hours are today finishing u campaigns which have been or the intensive variety, especially for the past two or three weeks. Both sides express confidence in their candidates. Local interest seems to be centered in the outcome of the siifth ward contest, the Dem ocrats having aimed all of their "big guns" in this direction in an effort to put across a vote larg enough to not only elect a Democratic aider man but to make the election of a Democratic alderman-at-large as sured as well. The Republicans, however, feel that they have coun teracted this effort and will return to the Board of Aldermen the man who is now there and is running for election. They figure likewise that a victory for the Republican aider man in the ward will make certain the reelection of their alderman-at large. Although realizing that there will be some close contests at tne pons tomorrow on both city and county tickets, the Republican leaders this morning were optimistic concerning the results of the election. County Chairman John Pfeiffer declared this morning that "the pros pects for a Republican clean sweep in the county and city are very good indeed." "I loo!: for a Republican victory all the way from the top of the coun ty slate down to the bottom of the city ticket," -Mr. Pfeiffer said. "Perth Amboy will do itself proud at the polls tomorrow by voting for the men whom the voters now real ize have made good while in office and are deserving of re-election. These men have protected the inter ests of the taxpayers and deserve their support at the polls.” Senator Thomas Brown said: "The Teports from every part of the county and city indicate that there is going to be a shift in the vote from that of last year which will favor the Democratic party. The numerous taxes that have been piling up during the last year under the Republican control in the state, county and city should result in a reaction at the polls. The voters will realize that it is a bad political condition to permit one rurty to predominate nnd will no doubt place a check upon the Re publican party by electing to office the Democratic nominees. (Continued on page 2) 1922 ELECTION HINufcS UR VOTING IN N. J. THIS YEAR TRENTON, Njv. 7.—State lead ers of both the leading political par ties will watch with Interest the re sults of tomorrow's balloting, which has to do with the selection of sixty members of the House of Assembly and seven state senators. Tomor row's election, in a measure, will have a bearing upon the campaign of 1922 when New Jersey picks a governor and United States senator. ■ If New Jersey goes strongly Repub lican this vear. it may be taken as presaging a G. O. 1*. victory a year hence. Vice versa, a Democratic gain in the legislature, which in the last session was overwhelmingly Re publican, will stir the Democratic leaders throughout the state to -re newed efforts for the next and very important Dallot, which in addition to a governor and senator, will in clude a new delegation of congress men at Washington. Eyes of all political observers will be turned tomorrow night to the returns from the pivotal county of Essex, where the old issue of ‘wet’ or ‘dry’ is again to tfce fore, although this time the Van Ness act is in volved. It seems to be conceded that Hudson will be Democratic on Tues day, although Republican a year, if same party carries Essex, it will have a total of 24 seats in the House, or seven less than a required majority and six less than recessary to tie the lower legislative branch. The Democrats will re-elect As semblyman Harry Runyon in War ren, the man w ho was the lone rep resentative of his party in the 1921 session. The Republicans, in fact, have failed to nominate a candidate to compete with him. The Democra cy has a fighting chance to land their men in Sussex and Hunterdon, once rock-ribbed Democratic coun ties. but now becoming debatable territory. The counties enumerated would provide a total of 27 assemb lymen. if they are all in the Demo cratic column tomorrow. This is three short of encugh to tie with the G. O. P. and four short of a majority of one to control. Because of the quietness of the campaign it is impossible to say where else the Democracy may gath er in the required seats.

Y. new BRUNSWICK, Nov. 7.— A slight clue to the disappearance of six-year-old Stella Ostroski of Jamesburg, who disappeared four teen days ago. has been received by her parents, who live at Fresh Pond and followed- np without .much suc cess thus far. A woman who lives below Jletuchen wrote to the dis tracted parents telling them of a lit tle girl who answers to Stella's de scription, who was put off a fast line trolley near her home who told the story that she was bound for New York with a companion, but was unable to continue her journey because she lacked the necessary fare. The woman put the youngster on the next car. supplying her with money and that was the last she had heard of her youthful visitor. John Ostroski. the girls' father along with a detective, visited the address from wh.ch the womar wrote but could get r.o more particu lars except that the little girl wa. r hatless and coatless and greatly ex I cited.
