MEN CONFESS Penrose Stand Against Scotl Fails to Shake Vare Attitude WON'T ACCEPT MAGEE Political leadfrs of nil Itepubllcan complexions today admitted that tho long-hoped-for harmony Is getting fur ther lawny as a result of the stand of the Penrose men against Congressman John It K Scott for Lieutenant Gov ernor There no longer Is a doubt ns to whether Senator Vare and his follow ing of ward leaders In Philadelphia In tend to fight for Scott. On the other hand, the Penrose cohorts havo said they would not tolerate Scott ns a can didate. Now the only hope lies In tho fact that some of those Penrose fol lowers who formerly were emphatic are not quite so emphatic In their anti-Scott dfclni.itlons as they were a few weeks ago, Itefiise (n Change to Mngee For several das the Penrose people have been suggesting former Mayor Wil liam A. Mngee, of Pittsburgh, as a sub stitute foi Scott. They havo mado It apparent that Senator Vare might name the ranindutn for Lieutenant Governor In this way Magen Is the trrng arm of the Vare forces In tho western part of the State. Senator Vnre emphatically says Ma gee Is not a candidate for Lieutenant Gov ernor, and Mageo sas he never even whispered a desire to seek the nomina tion. At any rate, Senator Vare says, the suggestion of Magee Is merely an elTort to get Scott out of the race nnd "It Ih an effort that is nrt going to suc ceed." As a result of these dlckcrlngs and the wide separation between tho two factions It was said today there was probability that tho Vare leaders would be called together within n week to select a ticket It Is also predicted by some of Senator Vare.'s leaders that .1. Denny O'.N'ell will he Indorsed as the running mate of Scott and Paul W. Houek, who now has tho support of thn Vare forces, for Secretary of In ternal Affairs.

His announcement Is sensatlcnal, owing to the fact Dlmmlck made his candidacy on "Penrose as a moral issue."

RAILROADS LACKCARS FOR SHORE EXCURSIONS Washington Orders Dollar Trips Resumed, but Traffic Men Worry Hoth the Pennsylvania and the Phila delphia and Heading have received notice from Washington to resume the dollar excursion trains to Atlantic City. This will be done, it was said, nbout Kastcr but with ono restriction, If cars enough can be found. In tho Instruct Innn frnm Wnnlilnplnn I no mention was made, of similar excur sion trains to Capo May, Wlldwood, Holly Dcach or other popular resorts on the Atlantic Coast heretofore given similar service. While Atlentlo City Is rejoicing at tho restoration of the dollar excursion service cut off about a month ago tho railroads apparently are not so hannv. ..'Tho reason is that thy find themselves short or cars to give tho service. Ilonds Not Pleased. Ae explained today by officials of both companies, the demand for cars to serve war Industry plants between New York and Washington caused tho withdrawal from other service points of more than 600 cars on tho Pennsylvania Railroad and more than 400'on the Reading. Many of theso had to be taken from the sea shore service. Just how to accommodate the workmen at the government Indus trial pointH nnd the excursionists to At lantic City Is a problem that suddenly comes to perplex the railroads. "We Just haven't got tho cars," said officials of the passenger department of both loads, and one or the other of these services will have Jo be stinted. The dollar excursion trains were dis continued with the approval of tho New Jersey Publlo Service Commission and the Interstate Commerce Commission for the reason stated. Now that In structions have come to restore tho At lantic City service, some other service will have to suffer. It Is all because of a shortage of passenger cars.

It was added ,that cheap excursion trains from me interiors oi i-ennsyivania, Mary land, Delaware and West Virginia will probably be abandoned this summer.
