RECORD Partial Returns Slow Him in Lead By More Than 77,000 Vetes TO FACE EDWARDS | ‘In Fall Harding’s Friend Will Be Opposed by Wet Candidate (By the Associated Press) Newark, N. J., Sept. 27.—United } States Senator Joseph Frelinghuy- Sem, friend of President’ Harding and one of the administration lead- {ers in congress was renominated by ; Republicans of New Jersey yester- iday in a sweeping victory of more 3; than two to one over George L, Rec- lord, a Jersey City lawyer. | Returns from 2,054 of the 2,464 districts in the state gave him 146,933 votes against 69,922 for Record, a jlead of 77,011. The Senator waged his campaign on two main issues which he sup- ported, prohibition and the tariff. He did not discuss the soldier bonus against which he voted. And he rare- ly answered Record’s charge that he was sympathetic with monopolies. In the November elections, Senator Frelinghuysen will fight it out at the polls with Governor Edward I. Edwards, the Democratic nominee for United States senator. As Governor Edwards is the champion of the “wets” New Jersey voters expect a warm contest on the prohibition is- sue. Most of the Republican congress- men who were opposed in yesterday's battle seemed today to have been victorious over non-organization can- didates, ASKS A NEW TEACHERS’ LAW President Allen Wants Mini- mum Qualifications Law Fargo, N.

REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT GAINS (By The Associated Press) London, Sept. 27.—Greece is in the throes of a revoluticn which has already caused the downfall of the governmept and according to several reports from Athens has forced the unhappy Constantine to abdicate in favor of the Crown Prince, thus losing his throne for the second time in five years. The revclutionary movement which is said to be led by General Gonatas, is making headway in all directions but thus far without reports of bloodshed. The insurrection, which while not altogether un- looked for, broke out in formidable ‘force with un- expected suddenness. It had its inception among the vanquished troops brought from Smyrna to the Islands of Mytilene: and Chios and among the sol- diers at Saloniki. Strangely enough, however, these two revolts seem to have had different object—the former aimed at the overthrow of the goyernment and King Constantine and the latter at the defense of Thrace against the Turks. (By The Associated Press) London, Sept. 27.—Greece. is in the grip of a revolution- ay mevanen and King Constantine is reported to have ab- icated. At least part of the navy has gone against the govern- ment and several warships and transports manned by revo- lutionaries are believed. to be advancing on the capital from the Aegean Islands, where the revolt originated, Direct advances from Athens are lacking, indicating that \censorship is in effect but the report of Constantine’s abdi- cation has persisted since the last dispatch, telling of the cabinet’s: resignation and the approach of a crisis, was re- ceived late last night. The revolutionary movement is headed by an officer named Gonatas, variously described as_9 general and a col- ;onel, who organized the soldiers on the Island of Mitylene and Chios, off the Smyrna coast to which they were removed :following their crushing defeat by the Turkish Nationalists. | An order for the demoblization of these troops is said to have been the immediate cause of their mutiny. The revolt quickly spread to the navy and many of the warships refused to answer queries sent out by the admir- ‘alty. An airplane appeared over Athens and showered the icity: with pamphlets signed by Gonatas and demanding the resignation of the government and the abdication of the King. $1000 GONE Set "FROME ESTATE OF REV.
