Edward C. Wyckoff, a former resident Belmar Chamber of Commerce Head Would Substitute Inland Highway. CITES SUCCESS OF SOUTH JERSEY RESORTS The ocean boulevard, which has been the boast ot the North Jersey shore for many years, and has been presented as one of Its greatest assets, Is really "an albatross that Is crippling the forward movement of this resort area," In the opinion ot John Hillig, president ot the Belmar chamber ot commerce. His statement was made today In connection with a study of the ocean boulevard problem now being made in Belmar, as a result of a spirited discussion which arose at 'a recent meet--, ing of the chamber. A committee appointed at that time will make It recommendations at the July meeting.

"The problem Is- not one facing Belmar alone. It is common to the shore at large," said Mr. Hillig, "It is perhaps a problem to be more particularly applied to the 6oros of Avon and Belmar as they are similarily situated in that their shorelines project farther out into the ocean than does that of Bradley Beach to the north and that of Spring Lake to the south." Abandonment of the ocean boule vard and substitution of A street, a block west of the boardwalk as the main artery of travel parallel to the beach, is not a matter for conjecture as to its success, declared Hillig. The theory has already been de monstrated as practical fact by the successful resorts of Atlantic City, Wlldwood and Ocean City," he declar ed, "There are no ocean boulevards in those places but there is a paying resort proposition. The idea has been fostered for many years in this section that the ocean boulevard Is essential to a successful resort.

That is not correct. The important thing for us do is to provide a readily accessible beachfront and that will be made available by the many side streets running from A street east to the oceanfront. "No resort makes any money out ot thousands of autos passing along Its ocean boulevard without stopping, as most of them do. What asset are brought to the shore come from those people who walk along the oceanfront of make use of the concessions and other advantages there." The time for taking action Is now, declared Hillig, who added that concession operators and storekeepers have been frank to state that there has been no improvement In business on the oceanfront during tha past several years. "There is one reason for the condi tion and one remedy, as I see It," he said, "The reason is the use of the ocean boulevard as a speedway by thru traffic and the remedy Is the turning of that traffic further west cf the ocean.

People using our hotels and cottages are dismayed, especially' if they have children, at the danger threatening them everytlme they want to get the beaca. Those who seek a restful vacation refuse to have their children'! lives threatened or their mind worried by traffic conditions." It will be a practical and easy matter to make A street into the main artery of travel, In the chamber president's opinion. There is plenty of room, ho stated, to turn off the boulevard and back again at the northern and southern ends of the town; also, Silver lake could either be partially filled In or bridged. If filled in, the extra grounds, he declared, could be used for public tennis courts or for other public pur poses. The concrete boulevard, once aban doned as a motor channel, he declared, could be easily adapted into a boardwalk.

The present boardwalk could be left as Is, or to a point Just west of the bulkhead, thus affording more beach area for bathers. The property lines west of the boulevard could be advanced eastward, he stated, and the many entertainment and other facilities west of the boulevard would be easily and safely accessible to boardwalk promenaders. There would also be room for public amusements of the proper type, he said. OCEAN BOU EVARD I 1 (Continued from Pf onoj hot un, listening to the story of the battle and hearing National Commander Bpaflord of the American Legion tell of Lafayette part In the fight. The clear day, national colors, and green farm lands4 provided a picturesque setting for the program at the park.

The business section of the boro had been a mare of red, white and blue from the day before and as the many troops gathered, this time in peace, the patriotic fervor Increased until the streets were lined with anxious spectators. No additional plans have been announced by the general committee regarding the raising of money to pay for permanent markers or monuments. Pre-celebration plans, and lack of donation from expected sources, had cawed those in charge to cancel for the present, all plans for erecting eques- train statues of Washington and Lafayette. So far as could be learned today, the memorial tablet to be un- tUa4 tomorrow on Monmouth battlefield will be the only permanent marker of the celebration at this time. Police reported that the motor traffic, which congested all thorofares of Freehold and necessitated the use of state troopers, had been handled without serious accident and that the many hundreds of cars had been guided to and from the park without incident.

Some considered the traffic the heaviest that Freehold has ever experienced and were commending the police for their method of regulation. Fraternal homes and private residences of the boro were opened to visitors and guests. The American Legion home on West Main street was the center for World war veterans coming from several points. Sesqui Sidelights Among the many dignitaries seated on the speaker's stand was Captain Samuel WoodflU, hero of the Argonne and nest of Major H. G.

Thomas of Asbury Park, Woodnll. single-handed, accounted for more of the enemy during the World war than any other man. He is a mountaineer and a Daniel Boon type of soldier and has served 33 years In the U. S. Regulars.

As usual, where events that attract thousands are staged, peddlers, shouted their wares along the streets of Freehold, offering all types of novelties. Police to some Instances were forced to make them move on when they attracted groups with their demonstrations and blocked the walks. As the afternoon's program at the Driving Park progressed, the crowd became uneasy because of the heat. Women and men seated in the Infield, used all available spots of shade, to avoid sunburn. Traffic was tied up on Broadway when a motor bus parked In the center of the road caused Incoming motorists to wait for nearly 15 minutes before the police had the line moving again.

Lawns of the boro were crowded with tmvi alone: the line of march. Porch rails were usde by many who wanted to get an unobstructed view of the pro ceedings. Traffic passing thru Freehold was de-toured as It entered Broadway. Thru traffic was sent across Main street ana down Hudson to South street where it continued on to southern points wiin out adding to the congestion at the courthouse square. While the exercises were being con ducted at the park, a Catholic priest, ths Bet.

Father Kivolltz, was also celebrating his 84th birthday at the church rectory on McLean atreet. When the Centennial celebration was held in 1878, Father KivollU took a prominent part but because of his age, did not go to the park yesterday. Amplifiers carried the voices of the speakers to all parts of the park and grandstand. Those sitting in motor cars, parked six deep In the field, heard the addresses as well as those In front of the speaker's stand. When Samuel W.

Hankins of Freehold, veteran of the Civil and Spanish American wars, marched past the re viewing stand, he was greeted with a demonstration from the crowd that riv alled the applause given the speakers Despite his age, he is about 84 years, Hankins marched the entire length of the parade and around the half-mile track. Other O. A. R. Veterans rode In cars.

The parade, passing in review before the assemblage at the park, was colorful from the time the first color guard entered the field. As offifficers passed the stands their swords were lowered and raised in salute while the flags of the many army units were dipped, Freehold Leglonaires brought up the rear. In the absence of Governor A. Har ry Moore, State Comptroller Newton Bugbee gave the address of welcome to the thousands at the enclosure. The Rev.

Thomas M. Kirk took the place of Cardinal Patrick Hayes of New York City, who was to give the prayer for guidance for the Supreme Ruler of na tions, pleading for tolerance In American government. The Rev. Albert Lincoln Martin of New York city substltut ed for Rabbi Stephen S. Wise In offer.

The Trenton Legion post. colorful uniforms, received much ap piause a they pased. Newspaper camera men and movie men, made numerous requests for pic turn of the Molly Pitcher flag donated by Joseph Humphreys.

Mayor Peter F. Runyon and the donor of the flag stood beside the banner as several photos were taken. The mayor later presented It to Thomas Mahar, commander of the Freehold Legion post.

The vote from 1,095 precincts was: For repeal against repeal 50,617.

BELIEVE GILL GIRL FROM SPRING LAKE (Continued from page one) Beach but nothing is known of how she reached Herbertsvllle, which is 15 miles from the Park hotel in Bradley Beach, where she spent the night after registering under the name of "Sally Thomas," of New York city. Frazee reported that the girl appeared at his home, which is about three miles from the state highway, and in the center of Herbertsvllle. It was 6.15 Wednesday morning and she inquired of the way to Herbertsvllle.

When told that she was In the center of the town which she sought, Frazee said the girl became confused. Asked for Railroad Station She then asked the direction to the railroad station and the Herbertsvllle man informed her that the nearest place where she could get a train was at Point Pleasant. He did not say whether or not she told him her destination and what city she hoped to reach by train. The girl was not inclined to talk. She continually twisted a black felt tam o' shanter in her hands.

She was given a drink of water but continued to be evasive of all questions put to her. Persons at the Frazee home said she appeared in need of a haircut. Frazee took her to the Spring Lake station while on his way to work in that boro and she has not been reported since. At the time of arrival at Spring Lake, a northbound train was drawing-j Into the station but Frazee could not say whether or not she boarded the train. She gave no information regarding herself while on the way to Spring Lake.

Police of this city were notified last night when Frazee reported the Incident. Trenton police were also notified of the development, but the search was not aided in view of the fact that it was not definitely known what train she took at Spring Lake. The nervous manner of the girl and her early arrival in a section where she was a complete stranger, aroused the suspicions of the Frazee family but they did not give it much thought until the story of the missing girl was read Wednesday afternoon. The girl carried a purse similar to that reported by the night clerk of the Bradley Beach hotel and this led to the belief that she was the same girl who nad been reported in Bradley ueacn by Officer Harry Miller. Relatives of the girl today continued hopes for her safety and the reports of her being seen twice gave them confidence that she would soon be found.

The reason for her mysterious method of vanishing has been given as failure in scholastic work and later an accident with her father's motor car. She was on her way to this city, when the accident occurred. A few hours later her clothes were found in the bathhouse she had occupied at the Natatorium pool but the girl was missing. Is Off To Encircle Wo rid Fo Reco rd Mears, Former Title Hold- er, and Airplane Pilot Plan 23-Day Trip. NEW YORK, June 29.

WV-John Henry Mears and Captain C. O. coiiyer, who took off in a seaplane from the battery at 6 a. m. today to overtake the steamer Olymplo in an attempt to break the record for the lastest trip round the world, safely boarded the vessel from the pilot boat.

45 minutes later. A wireless message wun inis news was received here by the White Star line. The Olympic sailed at midnight. Mears said he hoped to circle the earth in 23 days. For part on the trip he will use a Falrchlld folding wing monoplane which was shipped on the Olympic and which will be piloted by coiiyer.

The present record is 28 days. 14 hours, 38 minutes and 5 seconds made in 1926 by Edward Evans, Detroit sportsman, and Linton Wells, newspap' er man. They bettered by seven days Mears' former mark made in 1913. Mears declared the object of his trip was not as much to establish a new record as it was to demonstrate tl.i speed and safety of travel when the airplane Is coordinated with the steam ship. By taking off in the seaplane they saved almost five hours over the Olym pic which they hoped to overtake 100 miles at sea.

JERSEY DELEGATES START HOWIE TODAY (Continued from page one) sound and a pledge that the air would be kept free tor broadcasting. Platform declaration for farm re lief and broadcasting pleased the dele gates and while the national prohibition plank could not in the wildest dreams be confused with the broadside which the state Democratic platform let loose against prohibition, delegates and leaders were Jubilant that discord wis averted and that the Volstead act was not mentioned in the national plank. When Edwards took his stand at the opening of the convention, the air was filled with rumors of prohibition fights and threats that northeners might be kept here as long as southerners had been held in New York four years ago. One southern leader promised a "kll- kenny cat fight," on the floor of the convention. Mayor Frank Hague, of Jersey City, and Chairman Heher as well as the rank and file declared they were confident of Democratic success In the state and nation.

Emphasizing that In their opinion this convention In the southland had brought about a new party, their enthusiasm unlimited, dele gates and guests from Middlesex county, the home of Morgan F. Larson, Republican gubernatorial nominee Joined In predictions that the ticket would sweep the state as well as the nation. The Jersey delegates went Into the convention ot this last day In the hope that one of their own number would be given an opportunity to display oratorical ambition. The expectation was that John Mat thews of Newark, who four years ago placed the name of Governor Silzer before the convention in New York would be honored as one of the seconders of Senator Joseph T. Robinson, in the event that the leaders continued to favor him as candidate tor the vice presidential nomination.

Fights which ranged on all sides during the convention came nearer last night when Harry Heher interfered in behalf of a noisy, unruly Smith rooter from Mississippi, while the delegations were changing votes. Police were about to drag the man out when the New Jersey chairman assured them that he was a delegate and had every right to be there. Mrs. Edwards Better JERSEY CITY, June 29. UP) Mrs.

But having paid their tribute to their respective favorite sons, a halt dozen states Were ready to change their votes and get aboard the bandwagon.

For several minutes a presidential nomlna tlon hung In the air, while delegation chairmen from all sections of the hall tried to shout each other down In their rival attempt to be first to switch to 8mlth. Chairman Meeker ot Ohio, standing on his chair In the right center of the delegate section, won out and cast for the New York governor 44 Ohio votes where he had had but one on the Initial roll call. Mississippi, Indiana, Nebraska, Kansas, and Tennessee quickly follow ed giving Smith votes he no longer needed, and reducing the antl-Smlth. residlum to but 250 of the convention's total strength of 1,100 delegates. SMITH VICTORY HOLDS INTERESTS OF LEAGUE GENEVA, June 29.

WV-Governor Smith's victory at Houston interested league circles today because of a pre vailing belief that New York's governor favors closer cooperation with the league of nations. The name of Herbert Hoover is bet' ter known In Geneva than that of Governor Smith, due chiefly to the Republican nominee's war activities. Many officials however seemed to be Im pressed by the governor's executive record In Albany. New of Governor Smith' nomina tion put In circulation here a story to the effect that when Smith was asked about his feelings towards the league of nations he replied that he did not know much about it but thought that If fifty-five nations were sending representatives to Geneva It might be wise for the United States to find out what was going on. CLEAR AND HOT AGAIN HOUSTON, June 29.

(IP) An other clear and hot day, tempered only by a slight breeze, broke this morning for those who remained in Houston overnight to see a running mate for Governor Smith selected at the final session of the Democratic convention. Delegates were called to Sam Houston hall for a session beginning at ten o' clock central standard time, the earl lest meeting time yet fixed by the Dem ocrats. REED PLEDGES AID HOUSTON, June 29. (P-Senator Reed of Missouri told his friends who gathered In his room last night after the nomination of Governor Smith that he was going out to do battle again with the Republicans In the coming campaign.

15 (Continued from pace one) candidates, notably Senator Berkley of Kentucky, remained active. A Berkley band paraded thru the aisles of the hall before the session opened and was cheered by the assembling delegates, As the 10 o'clock convening hour came and passed with the convention officials conferring on the platform and making no move to Call for order, Senator Robinson who for some time had been in the group that had put their heads together on the speakers' stand, left the convention hall for his hotel, He was retiring from the physical presence of the honor the convention seemed about to pay him. He turned the gavel over to Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Smith floor marshal, who was designated to open the session. After the opening Itself, the gavel honors fell to Senator Harrison of Mississippi.

It was 10.18 o'clock when Roosevelt pounded for order. The delegates mostly were late ar riving and there was much confusion both on the floor and among the spec tators. The new chairman could not get them quiet for several minutes. Roosevelt Anally got the convention to attention by ordering the band to play the Star Spangled Banner. When the anthem was completed the opening prayer was offered by Rabbi Nathan Blechman, of Temple Beth-El, Houston, After some routine announcements, Miss Melvlna Passmor of Houston sang "Dixie to a eheering convention, and then the roll call for vice presl dential nominating speeches began.

In settling upon Senator Robinson, the Arkansas senator, who was chair man of the convention itself as their vice presidential choice, those who put him forward argued that he would bal ance off the selection of Governor Smith of New York as head of the ticket by giving it at once a western and a southern flavor. Robinson's sector of the southwest may not Itself be a fighting ground in the campaign, for It Is consistently Democratic, but the senator has many warm friends and admirers In both south and west and they are counted on to help. Some of the convention managers were predicting that Robinson's nom ination would be a first ballot affair as one sided as the presidential poll by which Smith himself was named last night. Demonstration Far lUMnsen. Bratton reviewed Senator Robinson's career at great length, praising him for his "rugged honesty" for hi sagacity and for the record of his legislative accomplishment.

He declared there was not one objection that could be urged against him. At the close of the speech the Arkansas delegates started a procession around the hall. Pennsylvania, North Dakota, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Montana, Iowa, West Vlrginls, Arkansas, Oeorgla, Colorado, Oklahoma, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Mississippi, South Carolina, Delaware, Nebraska, Michigan, New Hampshire, Ohio, North Carolina, Oregon, Maryland. Texas, and Virginia were among the states who sent their standards into the parade so close ranked that It looked as tho the whole army of delegates had almost gone over en masse to the banner of the Arkansan. It was not very noisy, for the delegates were about yelled out after the cheering and demonstrating of the past two days.

But It was Impressive enough In the representative character of it personnel. England Imported nearly 1,000,000,000 eggs last year. At Aqulllno's, Main Street and Second Avenue, you can enjoy a real de-Hclous ice cream soda, sundae, etc. Specialty In fresh box candy. (Continued from pace 1) As the chairman, having difficulty In getting delegates to leave the aisles and take their seats, called to the master arms to make everyone sit down and unauthorized persons were in the hall "peremptorily expel them" the governor sang "Out the Window They Must Go." He gave close attention to the read of the platform and when the plank pledging the partys nominee to enforcement of the 18th amendment and laws pertaining to it was read, he made some murmured comment which, however, was Inaudible even to those close about him.

Brings Dor to Hear He left the room while Governor Moody and Governor Ritchie were speaking and returned Just in time for the balloting, followed by his great Dane, Thomas Jefferson. "Come on over and listen to this, Jeff," he said as he lay down before tally sheet after listening a moment the strains of "The Sidewalks of New York," his campaign song, being sung on the front lawn by a group of girls from a Catholic school across the street. As one vote was recorded for him from Alabama he nodded and grinned. "That's one more than I ever got from them before," he said. In announcing the Arizona vote, six votes were reported for "Albert" E.

Smith. "They gave me six votes and they don't even know my first name," he laughed. The balloting went on and the governor kept careful count of all the votes. "I get all the big babies any way," he commented after a time. "Everything over 30 I get." But when the name of Missouri was called he said: "There's one 30 I don't get." All 30 went to Senator Reed.

Here's a hard one," he grinned as New York was called. "Great suspense." Ohio was first reported 48 for Pom- erene and then changed to give Smith one. "Find out tomorrow who that feller is," the governor called to his secretary. "We'll send him a telegram." It was Ohio later that gave the governor the nomination on the first ballot by changing its first vote. "Ohio Does It." There it is," he cried as the change was announced.

"Ohio does it." Immediately the governor's friends surrounded him and after he had been enthusiastically kissed by his daughter they shook hands with him and shout' ed their congratulations. The news spread rapidly to the crowd that had steadily Increased on the lawn and several hundred people broke into the strains of "The Sidewalks of New York." The governor Issued the following brief statement Indicating that for all his seeming composure since the con vention opened in reality his emotions had been deeply stirred: My nomination on the first ballot fills me with Joy and satisfaction that I know is shared by my family and friends and my heart 13 where my palate ought to be." The guests, realizing the strain the governor had been under, left the ex ecutlve mansion soon after the nomina tion was assured and the governor im mediately prepared to retire. As he was in the shower bath he was delivered a message sent by John W. Davis over the Associated Press wires congratulating him and promising support. It was the first congratulatory message received from out of town and the governor ex-presed keen pleasure on reading it.

Even after the new nominee for the presidency, the "happy who had fought his way up from complete obscurity on New York's lower east side to his party's choice for the highest po sition In the land, retired, his fellow townsmen still crowded the lawn singing the song with which his political rise is so closely associated. Mrs. Smith Is "World's Happiest" HOUSTON, June 29 OP). Describlna herself as "the happiest woman in the world" Mrs. Alfred E.

Smith and her party were seated. Crowds in galleries also Joined in the movement and in a short ltme the nearby aisles were choked. Space in front of the box had previously been roped off to keep mrongs in check and police and fire men on duty had their work cut out for them in holding back the Joyous cheering multitude. All three bands Joined in parade and strains of the familiar "Sidewalks of New York," were taken up by the musicians and singing mousanas. A small donkey was hoisted up over the box rail.

It was decked in red. white and blue ribbons with the lone star flag of Texas and the stars and stripes fixed in Its bridle.
