Vermeule, adminis trative engineer ef the Stae A visory tsoarci or fubiic worKs, on the sewage disposal plans of the City of New Brunswick until after the legislative session on next Wednesday, it was announced yes terday at the Newark offices of the Public Works Board. There has developed in New Jer sey a serious question, namely, as to the ability of municipalities to plunge themselves further in debt through additional bond issues to defray the cost of improvements to be financed by federal funds.

The legislators considered the bond question and municipal debts at last week's session, and referred it to a committee headed by Assemblyman Bradley of Essex county, who will submit a series of bills that will permit the municipalities to take advantage of the federal proffer of aid. Some legislators believe the oonds issued for public works Improvements with aid should not be included in the legal bonded debt of municipalities, while others favor extending the bonded debt from 7 to 10 per cent. Unless the municipal debt law is modified, it was pointed out to the legislators last 'eek that only a few municipalities in the state would find themselves in a position to go through with their feder-1 works programs; Stop Order Given The matter Cuine to the attention of the Advisory Board of Public Works, and approval on all projects now under consideration was held in abeyance.

Way Sought To Revive Arms Confab Germany Absence and Reported Rift Make Task Difiicult By The Associated Press GENEVA, Switzerland, Nov. 18- The French and British foreign min isters groped for a way to resuscitate the disarmament conference today and found the task difficult be cause of Germany's absence, and reported rift in the Franco-British proposals.

A meeting of Grman, French Italian, and British representatives some place other than Geneva, how ever, remained a possibility in the attempts to proceed with arms con versations from the point at which they were disrupted last month by the Reich's withdrawal. Sir John Simon, the British sec retary for foreign affairs, and Joseph France's foreign min ister, engaged in a long conference and then conferred with Arthur Hen derson, the British chairman of the dormant disarmament conference Aiterwards the indication was seen that France is apprehensive of the disarmament concessions Great Britain is said to be willing to make to Germany but which the French believe they can not support. m. faui-tsoncour at a press conference announced that the French position has not changed. "The departure of the Germans from the disarmament conference changes nothing in France's posi tion," he asserted.

POST Quinn Comes Out for Dill as Party Candidate for Governor Despite reports to the contrary emanating from Trenton, Democratic leaders of Middlesex county have received assurances from Democratic headquarters that Governor A. Harry Moore would be the Democratic opponent of U.

S. Senator Hamilton F. Kean at the 1934 election. Governor Moore is reluctant to become a candidate for the U. S.

Senate, but since his announcement of a few days ago that he was out of the race, State leaders have had further conversations with him, and Middlesex leaders have been advised that he has consented to become a candidate. The running mate of the Governor will be Judge William F. Dill of Paterson, former motor vehicle commissioner, who has the support of the Democratic organ ization for Governor. The cam paign in behalf of the Moore-Dill slate has been under way for several months. The Democrats are looking forward to an easy victory in New Jersey next November.

This confidence is attributed largely to the returns of November 7 which showed Passaic and Monmouth counties captured for the first time in many years, the election of a Democratic sheriff in Bergen county and a Democratic assemblyman in Camden county. Quinn Statement Following the Moore-Dill announcement today came a statement by formef State Senator Arthur Quinn of Middlesex, new U. S. Comptroller of Customs at the New York custom house, that he wished to see an end put to his boom for the Governor nomination. Quinn, who had never approved the association formed to boost him for the gubernatorial nomina tion, said: I wish it distinctly understood that I shall not be a candidate for the Democratic governor nomina tion.

I have never had any intention of running. I am an organ-j ization Democrat Judge Dill is my choice." This left on the Democratic side former Assemblyman John A. Mat thews as the only candidate op posing the slate of the State organization. It is the belief of political observers that Matthews will retire before the primaries. Police Search For Body of Hart Is Futile Divers and Airplane Un able to Locate Victim of Kidnapers By The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO, Nov.

18-Guarded closely against any lynching threat, Thomas Harold Thur mond was taken today from the city prison here to San Mateo bridge to point out the place he and John M. Holmes threw the trussed and unconscious Brooke Hart, whom they had confessed they had kidnaped for ransom, into San Francisco Bay. Two professional divers and an airplane were added to the forces searching for the body of the 22- year-old son of a wealthy San Jose merchant. The divers were sent into the water at a point where investigators found a bloodstain on the bridge rail, and near the spot at which police found a concrete block like those Thurmond said were used to make sure Hart's body would stay at the bottom of the bay. The police questioned a woman who said she "kept company" with Holmes when they were 16 or 17 years old, and that Holmes recently had asked her to go away with him, but that she had not taken the proposal seriously.

It was the plan of the G. O. P. to recount the votes cast in the mayoralty contest, which resulted in a vic tory for John J.

Quinn, Democrat, by 37 votes; but when it was shown that Kleckner had emerged victorious over Hausserman, the Repub licans decided to abandon this con test in order to concentrate their at tention on council tabulation. Woodbr's Recount An eleven hour surprise was sprung by the Woodbridge Democrats, who were sent down to de feat in an overwhelming manner on November 7, when Henry St. Clair Lavin, township attorney, announc ed that Supreme Court Justice Clarence had signed an order directing the County Board to recount the ballots cast 1n the second ward for Charles J. Alexander, Democrat, and John A. Hassey, Republican.

Hassey won over Alexander by 11 votes, according to the official canvass. Regardless of the outcome of the recount, the. control of the township administration will pass into Republican hands on January, as the result of the election of a Mayor and two township committee men by the Republicans. Justice Case signed the Wood- bridge order on Friday afternoon and directed the applicant to post $600 to meet the expense of the re count. Attorney Lavin asserted yes terday the cash would be posted early in the week when the supreme court order would be served upon Chester R.

The male members of the party have held the limelight in this re spect up to the present time. The county chairmen convened djring the week at the Carteret Cub of Trenton as the guest of U. Senator Hamilton F. Kean and they discussed the gubernatorial situation from all angles. Women's Turn Now It.will.be the women's turn tomorrow in New Brunswick the first meeting of the state organization to be held here.

Before a throng assembled at the HIGHLIGHTS OF TALK BY PRESIDENT SAVANNAH, Nov. 18. Highlights in President Roosevelt's address here today: "With our sense of proportion we understand and accept the fact that in the short space of one year we cannot cure the chronic illness that beset us for a dozen years, nor restore the social and economic order with equal and simultaneous success in every part of the nation, and in every walk of life." "It is the pioneering spirit and understanding perspective of the people of the United States, which already is making itself felt among other nations of the world." "In all those years of the pioneer, there were the doubting Thomases, there was the persistent opposition of those who feared change, of those who played the part of the mule who had to be goaded to get him out of the stall." "The saving grace of America lies in the tact That the" overwhelming majority of Americans are possessed with two great qualitiesa sense of humor and a sense of proportion. With the one they smile at those who would divide up all the money in the nation on a per' capita basis every Saturday night. "Three quarters of a year have passed since I left Georgia.

"I believe sincerely," said the resident, "That the most impelling motive that has lain behind the conversations which were successfully concluded yesterday between Russia and the United States was the desire of both countries for peace' and for the strengthening of the peaceful purpose of the civilized world." Mr Roosevelt struck out at the critics of his monetary plans with these words: "It has been remarked of late by certain tories that those who are today in charge of your national government are guilty of great experimentation. "If I read my history right, the same suggestion was used when Englishmen, protesting in vain against intolerable conditions at home, found new colonies in the American wilderness, and when Washington and Adams and Bul- lochs conducted another great experiment in 1776."

The weekly detail lists of PWA loans and grants for non-fed eral work show that very little of this money has been allotted thus far to New Jersey.
