K. Bugbec, organization candidate for the Republican nomina tion for governor in a summing up of a non-partisan survey this week of the political situation across the Delaware. , The bailiwicks allotted to Mr. Bughep do not include Hudson county, where Republicans have been nt variance for "years in n district which always goes Democratic; Ksspx, where the G. O. I. factions arc making ready for a battle royal over Thomas Ilavmond. Newark's former mavnr. who h running on a "wet" platform : Atlantic, Governor Edge's home district, where the ag gressive Kuehnlc insurgents are pro fessing to feel very friendly toward Jtavmoml bcrausc the regular machine Is for Bugbec. and T'nion. Union, it is conceded, probablv will cast its vote ftroncly for Governor Runyon, Air. Bugbee's most dangerous opponent as matters stand, because it is his home bailiwick. Friends of the candidate, including the "wet" fol lowers of the Issfx aspirant, are keep ing their hnnds off. The tendenrv is to avoid along the wholp line and in nil of the rival camps any breeches that might refuse to re spond to harmoni7ing influences after the primaries six weeks hence. Boozo Question Not an Issue It is generally ronccded that Gov ernor Runyon clarified and simplified the whole situation very materially this week when in promulgating his "plat form he said the booze question is not and cannot be made an important issue iin the campaign. I This statement removes any ground for bitterness between Mr. Bugbee and the governor or their respective sup porters, it is contended, as thr.t is ex actly what the foimer has been main taining ever since he declared himself in the fight. The Runyon pronouncement is all the more significant in the light of the fnct that Messrs. Raymond and Nugent, both of the "state of Isrx," have based rirtually all of their hopes upon appeals to liberal resentment over the enforced dryness now pervading New Jersev. j Some profess to believe Governor Run yon, who has been regarded during ir tually tho whole of his political career as an apostle of the local optionjsts and their brethren, the straightouf prohi bitionists, is casting an anchor to wind ward bidding for wet support. It has been pointed out that his declaration that ho will enforce the law when the eighteenth amendment be comes effective, if he is nominated in September and elected in November, really means nothing, for even the re doubtable "Jim" Nugent has said pre cisely the same thing and Mr. Uugbee is clearly upon record also in that con nection. Passaic Goes for Bugbee Passaic county, one of the largest In the North Jersey tier, declared this week for Bugbee beyond a shadow of doubt. Warriug Bugbee and Raymond leaders in Essex reached an agreement looking to harmony and getting together after the primaries. John WooUton, chairman of the county committee, the only conspicuous county leader to go in unqualifiedly for Raymond, has agreed not to be a candidate for re-election to C that office if tho Bugbee chiefs abandon tneir mreac 10 remove mm summuno , Mr. Raymond, who under other cir cumstances might have commanded the support of the state organization, swung into Senator Edge's county of Atlantic this week and told his story to the Kuehnle followers. Ills visit scarcely caused a ripple there, because Atlantic ceased to be a "liberal" bat tleground seven years ago, when then Governor Wilson closed Atlantic City tighter than the proverbial drum on the first day of the week. Atlantic now regards a "long dry spell" as inevitable and views the pros pect with equanimity. It is the firm conviction of the Edge-Bacharach-Johnson machine that the home fight over senator and assemblymen will not be carried to the gubernatorial division, The anticipated flocking to the Nu gent cause among Democrats has not tfnnsnired in South Jersev. unless it J-Cl. In Pnmilsn itiarn tlin 7n.i.ilr Iuiob j ill .uiiiutii i.ui. i ,uv ,vt,M,n uvaa it ito be feted a week before the primaries with an imported "wet" in the person of Judge Bonniwell, of this city, as master of ceremonies. Ocean County Visit Failure Nugent's cause has made no percepti ble progress thus far in Atlantic, Cum berland, Burlington or Mercer counties. His visit to Ocean county, where lie was credited with delivering at least two soul-stirring addresses to the body poli tic, which were not delivered in fact, Is claimed to have been a failure. It is claimed and there seems to be good foundation for the assertion that the Democratic state organization is for Senator Edwards, of Hudson, from State Chairman MacDonald down, and that whatever influence President Wil son and Mr. Tumulty, his secretary, wield at home has been promised to the banker-senator from Jersey City. An interesting bit of political-financial history wns disclosed tills week as an aftermath of Mr. Raymond's sharp attack upon Mr. Bugbee and tho Edge machine during his flying visit to At lantic county. A Among other things the Essex candi date for the Republican nomination charged Mr. Bugbee. as state comp troller, and William F. Read, of Cam den, as state treasurer, with keeping millions of state funds upon deposit In banks to curry favor with bankers, with the Tesult that taxation burdens were ten points hi?her than they should have been in some quarters. He averred there is pressing necessity for ousting the State House Commission, which comprises the governor, the comptroller sand the treasurer, and create an organi zation more representative of tho peo- L.' pJ . . Believe Trenton Uanlc Meant "Bubee chieftains assume that Mr. Rnyinond, in touchlnj upon tho alleged tUftMt!on . state ftg.a in fnyore i"'wuehu, gmwmauBg. ai which former Governor Stokes, now acting chairman of the state committee in Mr. llugbcc's stead, is president. Political history 'will show, they aver, that it long has been the custom to make the Mechanics' National, of which Mr. Bugbee is a director, a repository not only of state funds, but of political war chests, nnd that the campaign funds of the Democrats as well as the Republicans were on deposit there during the campaigns of AVoodrow Wil son nnd Governor Fielder, his successor as Governor. Seriously also it is said that the state funds held there or elsewhere consti tute the state surplus, which the Re publican administrations have trans formed from a Democratic deficit into some $3,000,000. If Mr. Raymond goes on the stump with his financial criti cisms, the answer thereto of both the Bugbee and Raymond spellbinders will be that it never has been regarded as poor policy to keep a bank account. It is maintained also in the Bugbec general headquarters that Mr. Ray mond's campaign utterance in South Jersey reveals that he knows little of the state's economical or business policies. $ 1 THRONE Archduke Joseph Asks Allied Recognition Seeks Crown, Vienna Hears SIEGE STATE IS REPORTED I Curtains Stay Down at Nine Theatres, but Three Present Curtailed Programs 30 REHEARSALS HELD UP By tho Associated Press New York, Aug. 0. Nine playhouses in the Broadway theatrical district have been closed, three arc presenting ab breviated programs, while seven have been able to defy the strike order of tho Actors' Equity Association and give their advertised bills with com plete casts. This, in effect was the status today of the latest labor trouble o make an appearance in New York. In addition to the theatres that arc closed, it was estimated that the re hearsals of thirty plays were being held up. Grant Stewart, secretary of the Ac tors' Equity Association, announced he had received telegrams, from actors in Chicago and those employed in the mo tion picture industry in California, pledging their support in the fight ngainst the producing managers. The message from Chicago said the mem bers of the organization there were awaiting orders. Both actors and managers are firm in their intention to fight it out on the lints established. The managers an nounced that suit would be brought against the actors' association as such, and against the actors individually for breaking contracts. Patrons arc accepting the situation as just another form of entertainment. The unusual feature of a prominent act or picketing a "scab" theatre and en tertaining a crowded sidewalk audience with stunts, gives an added public in terest in the strike. Theatres which remained closed were the Astor, Broadhurst, Gaiety, Knick erbocker, Lyric, Playhouse, Princess, Republic and Shubert. At the Cohan and Harris Theatre, where "The Rojal Vagabond" is play ing, George M. Cohan, producer, and Sam Forrest, general stage director, were forced themselves to fill in the gaps. Presentation of "Nightie Night," which was to have opened Thursday night at the Princess Theatre, has been indefinitely postponed, it was an nounced, while at the Forty-fourth Street Theatre, where the "Gaieties of 1910" was billed, a variety program was substituted for the regular pro gram. The Selwyn Theatre, where "The Challenge" is playing, reopened. E. H. Sothern last night resigned from the Actors' Equity Association, as serting that he wns not in sympathy with the action of the organization in calling a strike without first conferring with the managers. He explained that, in his capacity of actor and manager, he had tried unsuccessfully to arruugc such a cunfereuce. By the Associated Press Paris, Aug. 0. rormcr Emperor Charles of Austria'Hungary was be- secched by MagVar patriots to mount the Hungarian throne when the fall of the Pcidll ministry was determined upon, according to a dispatch from Zurich., The former monarch refused on the ground that having been king nnd emperor, he could not go down the social scale and be content simply with a king's crown. The Duke of Hohcpbcrg, son of Arch duke Franz I'erdinaud, whose assassina tion at Sarajevo in 1014 was the im mediate cause of the great war, also refused the crown, according to the dis patch, which says that the Hungarians ended their quest by choosing Arch- ' duke Jo5cph as a last resort. i A Vienna dispatch via Berne says that a state of siege has been proclaimed in Budapest. ' Says Rumania Will Withdraw , Rumania's course in Hungary is to be limited to maintaining order, it was said today by M. Vaida, of the Ru manian delegation, and Rumania will withdraw from Hungary as soon as the Hungarians comply with the Rumanian ultimatum and their troops are dis armed. I A series of three notes were sent by t the Interallied Supreme Council to Pre mier J. ,T. C llratiano, of Rumania. The first of these invited the Rumanian high command to stop the advance upon Budapest; the second advised the Ru manian cabiuet that the Allies could not approve the terms of the proposed Iiumanidnu armistice ultimatum to Hungary, and the third eNpiessed theJ hope Rumania would confer amicably with the Supreme Council. It was said no answors had been received to any of these communications. I Dispatches from American relief offi ccis who lme been co-operating with British and Italian representatives in Hungary repoit that Budapest is quiet hut that all transportation, including , that on the Danube, is being held up. As this imolves great danger of famine the allied officials have appealed i for an effort to lift the embargo placed by the Rumanians on supplies, as well ! as all other embargoes on food trans- I poitation nnd distribution affecting the region. Joseph Asks Recognition The members of the council also had for their consideration a message from Archduke Joseph, head of the new Hun garian Government, announcing the in tention of his regime to execute the terms of the armistice and asking rec ognition and authority to send delegates to Paris, The message received from the arch duke outlines the policy of the new gov ernment nnd says that it will call a properly selected constitutent assembly to reorganize labor with a view of in creasing production. Vienna, Aug. 0. (By A. P.) As the proclamation of Archduke Joseph, governor of state, calling on all classes of the people to help him win in his fight to establish order in Hungary, is signed "Joseph, archduke, field mar shal," it is taken here for granted that an attempt is to be made to set up Joseph as king of Hungary. Rome, Aug. 0. (By A. P.) Com menting on the situation in Hungary the Popolo Romano suggests the policy that Archduke Joseph," the head of the new Hungarian Government, is "aim ing to restore the Hapsburg monarchy and again join Viennu and Budapest." BREAKS ALTITUDE RECORD PERSHING RUMOR IN PARIS Baker Denies Knowledge of Order Recalling Him Paris, Aug. 9. (By A. P.) It is re ported here that General Pershing has been recalled suddenly to the United States and that he may even abandon his visit to King Albert of Belgium, planned for tomorrow. Washington, Aug. 0. (By A. P.) Secretary Baker and General March, chief of staff, said today they knew nothing of any order recalling General Pershing to the United States. White House officials stated they had not been advised that ' such an order had gone forward. It was said that, eo far as the War Department was conccrucd, there was no immediate reason for ordering the return of General Pershing. Such an orijer would come from the President as commander-in-chief of the army. CHILE FREES GERMAN CREWS and Interned Men From Dresden Sceadler Released Santiago, Chile, Aug. 9. (By A. P.)

The Seeadler, which had a sensa tional career as a sea raider in the Squth Atlantic, was finally stranded on Mophea Island, in the Pacific, early in the fall of UU7.
