JERSEY PARTY MEN
SEEK NEW LEADER
Nugent.^ Who Went Down to De?
feat With Smith, Expected
to Resign.
WILSON MAY NAME THE MAN
To Assume Leadership Himself.
Osborne Won't Take
It.
New Vork. January 29.?The resig?
nation of James 11, Nugent as State
elialrman <?r the Democratic party In
New Jersey has been looked for ever
slnee he emerged from the State house
at Trenton last Wednesday alter James
K. .Martini; had hocn chosen United |
States Senator, wearing on his coat n
white silk badge which proclaimed
thai James Smith. Jr.. was "the peo-i
pb's choice for Senator." The fact
thai Mr. Nugent marie no effort to eon-i
ce-il his failure to control the men
who had been his chief allies, but who
voted for Marline, was taken an an evi?
dence that ho was about to resign the
State leadership and confine his ef?
forts to the city of Newark, over which
his :<way is undisputed.
Chalfinau Nugent's espousal of Sena?
tor Smith's candidacy and Ids anger
at the withdrawal of the candidacy at
the suggestion of Mr. Smith's sons,
who directed the campaign, Instead of
making the light .tint might have'
deadlocked the contest for months,
left him with few shreds of authority
.< State leader. Never in his career
lots Mr. Nugent been contented with
nmptv bonus. When he Is called
loader, it Is his fashion to be leader
without restriction.
The victory of Governor Wilson in
bringing about the election of Mr.
Martine, a victory that was. largely
engineered by Senator H<irry V. Os
borhe. of ICsi nx county, has lliiwd up
for the time being a Democratic party
that is distinct from the old Stnte
organization, of which .lames Smith,
Jr., was the ?biet mainstay and the
late Hubert Davis, of Hudson county,
;.n important factor. As things stand
at present the onus of the ucM cam?
paign will fall upon Governor Wilson
and Senator 'Jsburne. but chiefly on
tin- latter. The old line men are
planning inaction except In their own
particular strongholds, Newark espe?
cially, where Mr. Nugent Is city coun?
sel, and where there will have to be
some hit; work <i<me to keep the party
in llnj^ liven Governor Wilson's sup?
porters are fearfui over tli? outlook
of a light with a split party.
The choice of a leader foi the State
Democratic organization Is occupying
much .11 tent ton. and th re arc few can?
didates: Some politicians would like to
see Governor ,v llnon assume the lead
it-.-lilt', working throujjlC.soiri'e capable
executive who would be State chair
in.in ;u name. Hi- recently appointed
secretary, Joseph Tumulty, of Hudson
county, appeals to some of them, while
the skill with which Senator Osborne
I'd the light against Smith has given
him a power through the State which,
i xertod in harmony with Governor
Wilsop. would make him a strong
leader. Senator Osborne. however, ap?
parently does not wish -to assume
party leadership any further than tak?
ing a Pig part In the doings of the
Statt Senate, in addition to Ids law
.practice he has business interests that
'?. . upv much oj his time. The Speaker
of tio House. Kdward Kenny, who
wields wide Influence, has been sug?
gested as leader, but h<: is in such prior
health that he will not take the place.
If Chairman Nugent resigns it is
said that there would be no immediate
move (i'v~i filling the vacancy, ex?
cept possibly In nominal manner,
(lie inclination being to let events take
their course and disclose the man lost
fitted to handle the situation.
ILS01 DECLARES
FOR PUBLICITY
Wants It Not Only in Govern?
ment Affairs, but in
Business.
.\ew Vork, January I'y.--uovcrnor
Woodrbw Wilson, who was the guest
<tf honor at the annual banquet of the
Knnsa.- Society of New York at the
Waldorf Astoria last night, declared
hi nisei I in favor of publicity In all
matters of business that affect society
hi general as well as In nffa'rs of
government, Ills speech was brief, ami
no direct reference was made to cither
State or national politics.
"My definition of business Is," said
Governor Wilson, "that it is an eco?
nomic service of society for private
profit, and the profit is not legitimate
unless society is served. There should
he more publicity about the affairs of
the big corporations, against whic?
tin- public lias to an extent become

''Publicity, in my opinion, will prove

United States of being a radical State..

A Stcinway, like the classics of music, is constantly reveal?
ing some new delight, leading to some new thought, affording
some new interpretation, holding up some new standard; inex?
haustible in muscial possibilities, irreproachable in effect. No
composition reveals all the possibilities of the Stcinway piano;
no pianist can exhaust its possibilities. It is a mine of music.
Every Stcinway has this pre-eminent characteristic. There
is no element of chance in buying a Stcinway ?every one is the
result of years of cumulative success in making the world's best
piano. Every one is a masterpiece?no need of choice, save to

A Great I'lnnlat.
Dorothy Letkbridge, one of the roro
most of contemporary piano virtuosi,
will be heard to-night in an unusually
attractive program at the City Audito
11 it tii. While many women play the
piano, it Is a remarkable fact, that
very few become really great pianists
of the caliber to stand successful
measurement with the opposite sex..To
combine the. strength and power of the
nun with the distinctive attributes of
womanhood seems to lie a rare accom?
plishment, as it nature intended such
cases only as phenomena.
The history of the planlstlc art pre?
sents but few such examples. Among
the younger generation, the foremost
critics of Europe declare that Doro
thv Lcthbridge stands almost alone.
Miss Lcthbridge is the. only daughter
of Sir Wroth Lcthbridge. Baronet, and
litdy Lethbridge, Beared in the ce?
ll ned and highly artistic, atmosphere of
one of England's first families, there
lire combined in her the indomitable
will and healthy activity of that race,
the warm-blooded, almost riotous tem?
perament of her Spanish ancestry, the
tlnesse a.nd gracefulness of her French
associations, and the cofnprchenislve.
thoroughly musical equipment of her
German education. Thus she plays
neither as an Rngllshman, nor a Span?
iard, nor a Frenchman, nor a Ger?
man; she plays not even as a man or
a woman. She is truly cosmopolitan,
knowing neither the restrictions of
territorial boundaries nor the limita?
tions of sex. This fact lias called
forth the most laudable comments from
even the staid and uncnthuslasllc crit?
ics of the great European musical cen?
tres.
In those days, when every artist is
heralded with a profusion of super?
latives, it is a pleasure to record sim?
ply of Lcthbridge that "she is great.''
ami her concert to;-night will not fail
to arouse the interest of every stu?
dent, teacher and lover of piano niusie.
The program which she will give con?
tains it pleasing variety of the im?
mortal favorites, and has been selected
as well for the pleasure and profit of
the audience as for the exploitation of
her marvelous technical and interpre?
tative ability.
"The ITonnry."
In "The Rosary," which comes fo
the Bi.iou for one week, beginning to?
night. Kilward K. Rose, the author of
the play, has taken an average, set of
people, and shows first their outside,
then deftly, subtly, with careful
strokes and a firm hand, he takes von
within the bruin and mind of each
character. It. Is like seeing first the
results of electricity?street cars run?
ning, telephones workng. all the
wonderful effects of this mighty force?
and then being taken to the central
powerhouse from whence all this en?
ergy flows.
And you see the. effect of thought
upon Die different Individuals. One
character is that, of a modern busi?
ness num. a stockbroker happily mar?
ried to a wife who loves him. but his
thought is wrong. fie harbors fear,
doubt and unbelief In the good that

Name of New Play.
I Ben Greet, who stag's iicnrt Bern?
stein's now play. "The Redemption of
Hvclyn Vaudray." In which Olga Noth
ersole appears at the Academy to-night,
arrived in the city, with the company
last night, lie has many things to
say in favor of the play itseir and
many more about Miss Nethersole,
! whom he regards as the most intel
1 lcctnal actress on the stage to-day.
Though he feels that the public will
gel the best there Is in the play from
Miss Xcthcrsole's p'nrf. Mr Greet very
frankly admits that her talents might
be put to better advantage to herself
in a play of greater reputation a ltd
scope. Incidentally* ho mentioned the
fact that Rostand had selected her
for the leading part in "i 'hanteeler."
but other pressure which he could not
overcome gave the gr?at part id Sarah
Bernhardt and Maude Adams.
Kverybbdy here and in hundreds ?f
other places throughout America
knows Mr. Greet, but it looks strange
to the people to son him as a pro?
ducer rather than in his familiar
Shakespearean roles. As a matter of
fact, ho Is not used to it himself. Las',
night he talked about many things,
and when it came to saying something
about tlic play he was putting on. for
the life of him he could riot rernetnbor
the riairio of it. When prompted, there
was a little sigh. "1 never eitn remem?
ber anything much except Shakes-^
ppiirp," In- said, "but after, all. 'wUt's
in a name?' "
"The rtcdemption of Rvclytl Vau?
dray." according to Mr. Greet, is not
unlike "Hast Lynne," which has been
on the boards hero countless times,
and has generally received a very
warm reception. With Miss Nethersole
in the loading role and a company
composed almost entirely of stars, it
will bo far more attractive and ar?
tistic than the old favorite, as it really
Is In the manuscript. For Miss Neth?
ersole. It is most strenuous, as she
occupies the stage the greater part of
j the entire performance. Poring the
I third act. which Mr. Greet says Ts one
I of the greatest he ever saw. she docs
I not leave the stage at all.
One of the features of the play Is
the appearance in the last act of".loo

Wh?i Christ said as a basis for

speaker, who pointed out that. the

were of plain objects. Thi? common
people can read Ills utterances with?

which opens April 29 next, in the pres?
ence of the King and royal family of
Italy, diplomats and foreigners of dis?
tinction and the Italian Parliament.
Without doubt the exposition will also
attract a great number of tourists fromi
America, for the reason that It will be>
the greatest ever held In Italy.
The Department of State is in re?
ceipt of reports from its consular of?
ficers in Europe, strongly urging that,
the attention of the American manu?
facturers and producers be directed ta
what promises tu he an exceptional
opportunity for the development of
American trade. The United States
government commission, of which
Francis H. Roomls is commissioner
general, is conducting aii energetic
campaign to insure a large American
representation at the exposition. For
the benefit of the would-be exhibitors
who cannot, send representatives to
Turin, the commission has arranged
to give special attention to their ex?
hibits, and will see that they are. prop?
erly handled and displayed. The. In?
ternational Exposition Bureau and the
Italian Chamber of Commerce In New
York is also offering Its services to
American exhibitors, preparing to ship
exhibits from New York and to do
everything necessary for their exhibi?
tion and protection. March T.l Is the
last date for receiving exhibits.
The occasion for the exposition Is
the fiftieth anniversary of the historic
year IS?l. when Victor Emanuol II.
was declared the first King of Italy,
and It is expected to present a picture
of progress, greater and more remark?
able than any ever seen In Europe In
su short an interval as fifty years.
The United States will have the larg?
est government exhibit at the exposi?
tion, its building having an admirable
position v.n the right bank of the Po,
witli a facade 200 yards long.
Five thousand workmen are busy
adding the finishing touches to the
