The Director, In an Interview, declined to enter Into' a controversy with Colonel Sheldon Potter, who Is opposing him for the Independent nomination. He would not comment on Colonel Potter's statements regarding the administration support having been given to Porter at a conference held In the Mayor's odlce.

"The responsibility for any factional fight that might split a party will not rest with me," he said. "1 will not enter Into any controversy with Mr. Potter." The Director said that he Intends to let the campaign drift along as it Is at present, so far as he Is concerned. In answer to a question regarding his campaign plans, he said: "I do not cbntemplato attending any ward meetings or making any public addresses, really have no plans. I am In the hands of my friends." The Director said that he Is now preparing his platform.

Ho expects to announce It In about a week. "It will be short and to the point," he said. He vigorously denied assertions made by Republican Organization men that he will use the police and firemen to his own advantage, as former Directors have used them in other compalgns. "I want It distinctly understood," he said, "that no orders have been Issued, and none will be Issued to the police, except the usual elections day Instructions. They are free to vote as they wish.

The police and Hrcmen vote as Individuals. While working at their duties for the city they owe me allegiance only In my official capacity as their head." Adherents of Director Porter In every ward, ot th city are ringing doorbells today for the purpose of getting voters to the polls to register and enroll. Today's activity was the opening of the Porter cnmpalgn, and followed a meeting held last night In the Parkway Building by about 100 members of the George D. Pcrter pitlzens' Committee of 1000. The Porter cnmpalgn was planned at this meeting, which was strictly private.

Pfaff, chairman of the Porter Campaign Committee, and the campaign will then be started in earnest.

Today the Porter men arc making special efforts to secure a large enrollment In the Washington party, upon which ticket tho Director Is opposed for the mayoralty by Colonel Sheldon Potter.

Sept. 7. A dash from the Jail In Salisbury In custody of the Sheriff and deputies saved Frank Grano, triple murderer, from lynching this morning.

Grano Is now safe in Jail here. Yesterday he murdered a Worcester County farmer, his wife with whom he was Infatuated, and a farm hand. The county authorities frustrated several attempts to lynch the man and took ilm to Salisbury In the adjoining county. A mob, many of them men In automobiles, which gained strength as it made Its way toward the Wicomico County seat, set out to lynch the murderer. Early this morning Grano was hurriedly removed from tho Jail, taken to Cambridge )n an automobile and brought to Baltimore on the State steamboat Uov-ernor Thomas.

The woman was shot down In the hallway of the house as she tried to pacify the man, who acted like a maniac. Grano then shot Roblpson and Redding, who were coming to the yroman'a aid. The murderer, the officers declared he meant to kill himself, but lost his nerve. Grano, according to the officers, admitted the triple murder In almost Incoherent statements and declared he was actuated by Jealousy when he learned that Reddin had stolen the affections of Mrs. Robinson, whom Grano loved.

Prank Grano, the Italian who shot and killed three persons at Snow Hill, Is said to have confessed to the police at Salisbury, that his real name is Carmine Bturopo, who shotand killed his wife and seriously wounded two men in this city In 1913.

ALBERT BEYER, JR. MAYOR WILLIAM RIDDLE Jmm MtfM 1 BANKER SEEKS TO BE GOVERNOR; SON OF HIS FRIEND STANDS IN WAY Loyalty to Father Fights Ambition in Mind of Beyer, Assembly Candidate BACKED TO KILL BOOM Atlantic City Mayor Picks Young Officeholder to Check Godfrey's Hopes ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. a young man whose father had sent him through college and provided him with all the comforts of a good home stand up against such a parent and cause political embarrassment? Or should he defy his superior In public otllce, In order to free hlnifcelt from such a dllemmn? And how is this effected! If the son has no desire to occupy particular public office but If, on the other hand, his ovn success might spell political disaster for his father? These are questions Albtrt Beyer, son of City Commissioner Albert Beyer, Atlantic Clty' director of finance, Is asking himself. Ills answer will determine whether the large number of voters who would like to nee Atlantic City made a "liberal" town, with wide-open saloons, are gclnt; to have a representative In the race for Assembly this fall. Beyer, Is secretary to ayor Wil liam Riddle, sclf-constltutcd leader of the llberallsts at the shore, it was Rld-dlo who persuaded Beyer, who, like Ills father.

Is a Republican, to file papers as a candidate for Assembly. Riddle Is a political antagonist of Carlton Godfrey, a banker, a candidate for re-election to the Assembly, of which ho was Speaker last winter, who will be a candidate for the governorship a year hence. Rtddlo sought a way to striko at candidacy, hoping either to defeat him In the Assembly raco or to so reduce the normal majority as to weaken him as a gubernatorial possibility. But Mayor Riddle, In persuading his young secretary to Jump Into the Assembly fight, overlooked ono thing. He forgot that Commissioner Beyer Is a close friend of Assemblyman Godfrey.

He forgot also that It was probable Director Beyer would Intimate decidedly to his eldest son that he owed him some consideration. This Is the situation the whole town Is talking about today. "My son mado this move without consulting me." tho elder Beyer sald, with characteristic directness. "I am an earnest supporter of Assemblyman Godfrey, whoso candidacy may be damaged by my son If he stays In the contest." Wagers were made today that young Beyer would be out of the contest before the end of the week, even If such a course should cost htm his $1200 place aa Mayor Riddle's secretary. He Is known as a clean-cut chap, who played tackle on the Lafayette football team and has gone straight ns a die since he began to be known In official circles.

"It Is true I never consulted my father," the Liberal Sunday candidate for Assembly said today. "If I had I never would have dono this thing, because I would not intentionally endanger his political future for a whim of my own. I've got one of the best dads In this world." It Is tho oddest political contretemps Atlantic City ever has known. Commissioner Beyer haH been Inordinately proud ot his big family of boys and girls. The chances aro his pride will not lose out to the Sunday llberallsts.

"A Little Child Shall Lead Them" A 2-year-old girl, with bright golden curls and deep blue eyeK, stood before Magistrate Morris In the 19th and Oxford streets police station today and saved her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Rellly, 2121 Columbia avenu'e, from being sentenced to the House of Correction.

HUNT SEALS IN SCHUYLKILL School of Six Believed to Be in Fair-mount Park A seal thrust his wet and Bhinlng nose above the surface of tho Schuylkill River, in upper Fairmount Park today, and liked the air so much that he decided to spend a little whllo on the surface. Five minutes later his day dream was Interrupted by tho boom of a shotgun, and he dived Just as a sportsman on the river bank let fly the other barrel. The seal Is supposed to be one of the six that escaped from the Fairmount Park amiarlum two years ago. Since that time not one of the animals had been reen until today, and It was supposed they wero dead. Tho appearance of one, however, has given rise to the belief that the entire school may still bo In the river, and Park guards are keeping a sharp lookout.

Pleasing the Old Folks They had been engaged for exactly seven months, and their love was still a new, strange pleasure to them, "Dick dearest," sighed the girl ono evening, ns they supported the gate, "you send mo roses, or some other flowers, every morning, don't you?" "Flowers to tho fairest blossom of all!" gurgled Dick spoonlly "I send you a token of love every day, no matter what tho cost!" They paused for an exchange of kisses. "Sweetie man," cooed the girl, presently, when she had got her breath, "would It be possible, now and then, to send along a couple of pounds of sugar, or a loaf or two. Instead of tho flowers? It wouldn't cost any more, nnd It would np-peal to father and mother while food's so dear."
