HEIGHT FOR REPEALER; M'CAMPBELL, AGAINST TRENTON, Jan.

19. UP) The New Jersey legislature, divided in political control, was apparently deadlocked on prohibition today as the state celebrated the Inauguration ofGov. A. Harry Moore. For the first time since Its adoption in 1922, a branch of the legislature ap proved a repealer of the Hobart state enforcement act.

The Democrauc-controlred assembly, its strategy ob viously to embarrass the Republican senate, reported from committee last night and enacted a repeal bill Introduced by a Republican. The vote was 42 to 15. The Republican senate, with cmbar rassment of the assembly as its object, last wek approved a resolution request' ing congress to call a constitutional convention for repeal of the Eighteenth amendment and return of liquor control to thestates. This step taken when the Republicans learned only two votes were available for repeal of the Hobart act. Monmouth Assemblymen Divided Monmouth county's newly elected as semblymen, both Democrats, split their vote.

Theron McCampbell was one of four Democrats to oppose the repeal measure, while Howard Height voted with the majority. Assemblyman Anthony J. Stracusa of Atlantic, sponsor of the repealer, attempted to bring from committee the senate resolution, but the Democratic majority kept it there. Tfie senate adjourned before receiving the assembly measure, but the majority leader, Emerson L. Richards, also of Atlantic, said action on the house measure "probably" would be taken when the assembly acted on the senate resolution sponsored by him.

The repealer introduced last week, was reported favorably last night by the Democratic-controlled Judiciary committee, and was advanced under suspension of rules to third reading.

TONES DOWN SPEECH TO "MENTALITY OF CROWD" WASHINGTON, Jan. 19 A startled anti-saloon league convention weighed today a surprise suggestion from Gov. William Murray of OklahO' ma that a more satisfactory form of liquor control might be substituted for existing prohibition. Recognized as a dry, the picturesque "Alfalfa Bill" was given prominent place on last night's program of the big biennial convention, following close up- a stirring address by Bishop James Cannon, defending the prohibition part he and other southern churchmen had played In political campaigns, and promising more of the same If neces' sary. The Oklahoman had distributed to the press a speech which among other things asserted he believed "that pro hibition will not prove the wisest legal solution of the control of the liquor traffic." This sentence and some others like It he left unuttered when he mounted the platform, but the general tenor of the original draft was maintained and afterwards he explained he would stand absolutely back of the written version "I got started off wrong and never could get back.

I kept a close eye on that crowd and I knew they weren't In sympathy with my views. The mentality of the crowd wasn't what I ex pected. With that he let the matter pass. His analysis of the audience's sym pathles apparently was correct. They followed his words closely but with al most no applause.

telnbach Co. AdvlS Moore Takes Oath in War Memorial With Essex Troop as Only Honor Guard. PARADE AFTER LUNCHEON Democrats Expect 50,000 fo Participate in March. TRENTON, Jan. 19.

I-Th-With the traditional pomp and circumstance of the occasion sacrificed In the Interest' of state economy, A. Harry Moore, standard bearer of New Jersey democracy, took his oath of office as governor today. The inauguration, coming six years after the day he first became governor, found Moore taking over the gubernatorial reins with an assembly controlled by Democrats for the first time since the days of Woodrow Wilson. More than 3,000 people Jammed into the Soldiers' and Sailors' war memorial building, which was rushed to completion for the ceremonies, to hear Chief Justice William S. Gummere of the supreme court administer the solemn oath to the new governor.

Mrs. Moore, once described by her husband as "the most astute politician in New Jersey," with an Irrepressible smile on her face, kept her eyes fixed upon the new governor as he repeated his oath after the chief Justice. There was a slight trace of tears in them, when her husband turned to her with a smile after the oath had been administered. The Impressive stillness which pervaded the memorial during the administration of the oath was broken momentarily when the great seal uf the state was turned over to Moore by his predecessor, Morgan F. Larson.

It was then that Governor Moore, now serious faced, began the delivery of his inaugural address to the legislature members assembled on the stage. The ceremonies began at noon In the war memorial, built by Trenton and Mercer county at a coast of approxl mately $800,000. The Inaugural procession from the Capitol to the building was headed by Col. William H. Kelly of East Orange, personal military aide to Mr.

Moore, and Adjt. Gen. Frederick Gilkyson. (Continued on Page 2) Moore to Abandon Shore Park Plan (RbccUI to The Frtu) TRENTON, Jan. 19.

Asserting that the reelection of Herbert Hoover hopeless, Mrs. George H.

"The psychology of the depression is against us," Mrs. Miles declared. "The entire country is thoughtlessly crying aloud for a change In the party In power.

Herbert Hoover is one of the finest men I have ever known. However, we can never stage a comeback under his leadership, nor has the Democratic party any Moses in sight." Confidence that Mr. Coolidge would accede to demands that he run if auf' ficlent pressure could be brought to bear upon him was expressed by Mrs. Miles, She urged tnat an appeal T)e made to his patriotism and loyalty to his party, Mrs. Miles, who was the first prom inent New Jersey Republican to come out in opposition to the renominatlon of President Hoover, expressed herself as In agreement with the position taken on Saturday by E.

He said $13,000,000 could be Governor Moore's speech will be found in full in today's Press, starting on page 11. taken from the gasoline taxes, and saved by a restricted highway program. His "ruthless" reform methods in cluded abolition of 15 legislative com- missions, many of which he termed "ufeless," reorganization of the state government, and delay or postponement of all projects not needed immediately. The latter include plans for a free state university and the state water policy's $37,000,000 Bunnvale reservoir development in Warren and Morris counties.

'Wants 12 men, not 94 agencies Reorganization of New Jersey's government by establishment of a cabinet ef 12 members to absorb the functions of 94 agencies was placed before the legislature by Governor Moore. Modeled after the system adopted by New York state at the suggestion of Gov. Alfred E. -Smith, the Moore program Is designed to place responsibility for operation of the government directly on the 12 cabinet officers. "The state government," said Moore, ta now spending annually In Its opera tion approximately $90,000,000.

It would seem to require no argument to demonstrate that an administrative organization which is to be charged with the responsibility for the disbursement of such an enormous sum of money should be modeled along lines calling for official responsibility which cannot be evaded, and for methods in keeping with the demands of modern business." The system proposed would provide terms of cabinet officers run concurrently with that of the governor, which Is three years. Altho he made no rex-erence to the subject In his message Moore has previously asserted the power of removal should be vested with the governor. Avoids National Issues Altho mentioned as a possibility for the nomination for president, Governor Moore In his Inaugural message made no mention of national or International problems. His only statement which might possibly be construed as recogniz ing conditions outside the state was a teference to economic conditions. TfTe statement was "The dire results of the business depression are being bitterly experienced in every state, city and corner of the country.

Millions of men and women are walking the streets In search of work. Destitution has taken possession of the American home, ever lengthening bread lines and countless toup kitchens are now familiar specta- eles." Moore asserted there has been a de ellne in the state's, agricultural status, and said he Intended to recommend to the legislature "definite legislative action that will relieve a large part of this unfortunate situation and that will at the same time be thoroly consistent with the best Interests of the general public." a Invites G.
