“Kid Potty” and Herman Ellis
Have Thrilling Experience
and Narrow Escape
AUTO BADLY WRECKED
Car Crashes Into Abuttment
Men Get Out of Car and
to Safety
Sidney Potthauser. well known as
k Kid Potty, of 138 Brighton avenue,
and Herman Ellis, of 72 Brighton
avenue, had a thrilling experience
early last night, when the coupe au
tomobile In which they were return
ing from Lakewood to this city,
brushed through the gates and
plunged from the end of the state
bridge Into the south abuttment. In
some unknown manner Potty suc
ceeded in freeing himself from the
wreckage of the car and getting on
his feet, after which with the assist
ance of bridge tenders, he aided his
companion from the car. Both men
were bruised a"bout the body as a
result of the incident.
According to Potty's version of
the affair he did not notice any light
to notify anyone approaching that
the draw was open. When he final
ly noticed that the gates were across.
Potty declares, he applied the
brakes and expected to hit the gates
(and be knocked back. Instead. Potty
declared, the gates gave right with
him and they took a drop in the car.
The cribbing of the abuttment
Which extends from fifteen to eigh
teen feet out from the south o«d <*t
the bridge prevented the car from
going down, and in this way the oc
cupants of the car had a chance to
get out of same. Acco ■ oig to re
ports of persons who aided in rais
ing the car to the bridge road, the
car must have turned completely
around for the front end was facing
south and was raised, while the rear
part was touching water.*
After Potty and Ellis had been
••escucd from the car. they were
driven to South Amboy to be given
medical aid. but it is said both re
'used and took a train for this city.

2 Smith St Stores
Robbed; Get $600
Merchandise valued at approxi
mately $600 was obtained by thieves
visiting two places of business in
the city last night. The first robbery
made known to the police was at
William H. McCormick & Sons’ hard
ware dealers, at 83 Smith street, and
shortly afterward the looting of the
clothing and haberdashery establish
ment of J. Tofte Hansen at 183
Smith street, was reported. x
The goods stolen at the hardware
store consisted of cutlery. A large
number of high priced pocket knives,
razors and other aiticles similar in
character were taken. So far as has
been learned nothing outside of the
looted cutlery case was disturbed.
At the Hansen store the missing
goods has not been completely
checked yet. but the estimate is
thirty high grade silk shirts, about
the same number of pairs of silk
hose, an overcoat and a few other
miscellaneous pieces cf clothing. The
loss at each store is rqughlj esti
mated at $300, but tlie inventory is
not complete in either establish
ment.
Passage through three doors had
to be forced before the thieves
could gain entrance to the McCor
mick store. Added to this difficulty
was the fact that at least three
fences had to be scaled and then
the robbers wero compelled to
'climb to the roof of the store to
find a means of entrance. A shed
adjoins the side wall of the store
and uphn the roof of the shed is lo
cated a large packing box, evidently
in place for some time, which al
lowed the robbers to get on the roof
easily.
Proceeding across the roof to the
doorway the thieves ripped off
boarding from a window, reached
through th? aperture and unlocked
the outer door. Once inside It was
necessary to force two other doors.
Panes of glass were neatly re
n oved and the locks unfastened
without apparent trouble. At the
third door it was evident that the
men doing the job had worked for
some minutes in an attempt to pry
the lock off the door and then
changed their plans in favor of the
easier removal of the glass.
Once Inside ihe store the thieves
went directly to the show case con
taining the cutlery, removed what
they wished and then, collecting
drills, hammers and other tools, at
tempted to open the safe in the of
fice. They were unsuccessful in this
attempt and left the tools lying be
fore the safe when they were found
this morning.
Captain Lawrence A. Long, chief
of the local detective force, investi
gated the robbery and thinks the
job was the work of some person
well familiar with the interior of the
store. He points out that the in
terior of the store would bo confus
ing to anyone not acquainted with
the upper floors and that indications
about the work lead him to believe
that the robbery was done by men
of little experience in that sort of
work.
At the Hanson store the burglars
got in through the back entrance.
A wooden door barred in place over
the Inner door was pried off Its
hinges with an Iron bar and a lower
pane of glass was removed. It was
then merely a case of inserting a
hand to the spring lock fastening
the door. An alleyway leads from
McClellan street directly to the rear
door of the store so it was easier to
get into the Hansen place than it
was to enter the McCormick store.
Once inside the thieves went to
the shirt boxes and took their
choice to the estimated number of
thirty and about an equal number of
pairs of socks.
Captain Long is working on both
cases and while he will make no
definite statement the intimation is
that both robberies may have been
executed by the same persons or
the same band.

! Both Sides Act
To Recount Vote
The complete official city returns,
as reported to the county election
board by City Clerk Arthur K. Gra
ham today, show Richard J. Galvin,
Democrat, the winner in the alder
man-at-large contest hv ten vote*.
Yesterday it was thought that nine
votes was the margin by which Al
derman-at-Large John N. Wester,
Itepublican, had lost but in going
over the books and tally sheets the
city clerk found one more vote for
Mr. Galvin.
The Republicans are planning to
go ahead with the«r recount plans
in order to have Aldi rman-at-Large
Wester reinstated. It seemed possible
today that ‘he lecount will also In
clude the fourth ward aldermanic
vote In an effort to pick up the twen
ty-six votes by which Fred P. I an
sen. the candidate for alderman, was
defeated by his D:mocratlc oppon
ent. Robert McGuire.
The city e'erk had several of the
poll clerks in his office last night for
the purpose of having the tally and
return sheets properly filled out.
There were no changes in any of
the figures as the result of this work
but it was necessary in order to com
plete the records. City f'lerk Graham
pointed out this morning.
When informed today that the
Republicans were planning on a re
count of the alderman-at-large
I vote. Senator Thomas Brown said
[ that if an application is made for
a recount of the Wester and Galvin
i vote. John Kozusko. the Demo
| cratic candidate for alderman in
I the sixth ward, who was defeated
I by thirty-five votes by Benjamin
: A. Riedy. will make application to
join in the recount and have his
vote counted also.
Owing to the confusion in the city
clerk's office during the early hours
of yesterday when tbe last city re- 1
turns were coming In a few small
mistakes were made in the unofficial j
tabulation of votes which were dis
covered yesterday afternoon by the
city clerk and rectified. It was found
thnt Wester's vote for aiderman-at
large should have been 3987 instead
of 3988. while Galvin's remained at
3997. giving the latter the election
by ten instead of nine votes.
The figures as published in the
Evening News in the state senate,
assembly and the coroner races were
correct. A change was made in the
vote received by Daniel W. Clayton.
Democratic surrogate candidate, the
official figures giving his 3967 instead
of 4005, a difference of thirty-eight
votes.
In the freeholder race William M.
Hallahan received 100 more votes
than he was credited with yesterday
the official figures being 4,284 in
stead of 4184. Robert R. Vanden
bergh's vote in this city was ten less
than the total published yesterday,
he receiving 3592 instead of 3602.
The figures in the aldermanic
races were correct. Wilbert G. Wat
ers winning by 171. Robert McGuire
by twenty-six and Benjamin A. Riery
by thirty-five.
The official figures in the race
for excise commissioner showed the
same five men elected as did the
Evening News totals yesterday, al
though the fifth man's margin over
his nearest opponent is only one
vote in the official figures, whereas
he was four votes ahead in the
News figures yesterday. The cor
rected figures give Emil Frey
3.236 instead of 3.233 votes and
Kerwin 3.139 instead of 3.140 votes.
These official returns are being
taken to New Brunswick by the ci'.y
clerk this afternoon in order that
the official figures for the county
might be known.
Democratic Sweep
I
Is Being Analyzed
—
The Republican leaders are today
wondering whether the Democrats
of the city healed the reported split
before election and now are "pulling
together" or whether they were
united before election, despite re
ports to the contrary, and have now
reached the point where a split is
imminent, the result of two separate
factions desiring to hold the reins
now that the Democrats have con
trol of the council.
The recount which is now being
planned by the Republicans as the
result of the Democratic city victory
will change things somewhat if Al
derman-at-Large John N. Wester,
who was defeated by ten votes by
Richard J. Galvin, succeeds in win
ning. However, even with Wester
remaining In the chair of alderman
at-large. the Democrats would still
be in power, fcur to three. If the
' recount fails to return Wester the
1 only Republicans on the board will
1 he Alderman John B. Soflefd in the
first ward and Alderman Benjamin
| A. Riedy in the sixth. Although a
I recount of the sixth ward votes will
■ lie made, according to the Democrats
j if Wester decides to have a recount.
the Republicans feel that tne tnirty
five vote majority of Alderman Riedv
is too niucii for h opponent, John
Kozusko, to picl; up.
Friends of County Clerk Bernard
M. Gannon, for years the county
Democratic leader, today pointed out
the important part played by "the
Judge" during the latter part of
the campaign. They declare that his
efforts to put across the Democratic
city tickets had a great deal to do
with the resultant victory and hinted
that he would now take an active
part in the city government, with
the Democrats in power. Mr. Gan
non when questioned declared he di.l
not wish to be quoted as making any
statement on this subject.
Another important factor in the
Democratic victory, according to oth
er leading men in that party, was
the excellent work of Senator Brown
who worked hard for the Democratic
candidates and made numerous
speeches in favor of the city candi
dates of his party. The election of -
the candidates for whom he spoke
would indicate that he also would
have considerable influence in city i
affairs. I
Crossing Plans
Handed To City
Mayor William C. Wilson. City
Attorney Leo Goldberger and Lou.s
P. Booz. Jr., represented this city
this morning at the hearing held
before the Public Utility Commis
sion in Newark on the matter of
grade crossing elimination in Perth
Amboy. The counsel for the Central
Railroad of New Jersey presented
to the commission the plans which
have been drawn and the Perth
Amboy delegation was asked how
long it desired to study these plan*.
Speaking for Perth Amboy Attor
ney Goldberger said that three
weeks would be sufficient. December
7 was then fixed by the Utility Com
mission as the day for the next j
hearing, the city to be supplied with
two sets of the proposed plans in
the meantime.
The copies of the proposed elim
ination plans were given to the
Perth Amboy men this morning and
the work of studying them in detail
will be started at once in order that
the city may make known on De
cember 7 its decisions in the case.
It is not likely that the plans will he
approved as they stand at present
as efforts will be made to have the
overhead bridges at the street cross
ings lower than the plans call for
and the tracks laid on a level lower
than is planned at present. The
union station idea will not be drop
ped. it is reported, and provision for
such will likely be recommended in
the city's report.
The grade crossings will be elimi
nated along the Central railroad by
depressing the tracks which will oe
laid west of the present tracks, thus
making it possible for the present
service to continue while the new
tracks are being laid.

i
Several thousand men and women,
bovs and girls, representing institu
tions of various natures including
educational, military, religious, fra
ternal, benevolent, industrial, poli
tical and official, will inarch through
the streets of the city tomorrow in
the form of ar Armistice Day par- j
ade with only the thought in mind
of paying respect to those who lost (
their lives in the late war and re
joicing in the victorious termination
of the struggle. Concentrated effort
on the part of the large committee
made up from members of these or
ganizations has resulted in the in
surance of a parade which will be
the largest, and perhaps the most
elaborate of any that has ever been
held in Perth Amboy.
Before the high school, the lawn
of which will be used as a grand
stand, will be seated the gold star
mothers of the city, the city officials
and a few other guests and it will
be here, at the termination of the
parade that the awards in the school
essay contests will be given out.
Practically every organization that
has expressed the intention of en
tering' the parade is also going to
enter a float and this feature will
also be particularly attractive. The
contribution of the public and paro
chial schools In this matter has been |
of great merit under the supervision ;
of Miss Rose McCormick and Miss
Edith Crowell. Beginning at the
Presbyterian church the school
floats and representations will ex
tend down High street to Lewis in
the following formation:
The Norsemen—School No. 8.
Columbus Discovers America—
Holy Trinity school.
Columbus at the Court of Isabella

made the supreme sacrifice. Con
