Association an- PROHIBITION FEATURES CONTEST IN NEW JERSEY Trenton, N. J., Nov. T.—Enforcement of prohibition is the chief bone of con- tention in tomorrow's election of sixty New Jersey assemblymen and six state senators. & The democratic candidates waged their campaign largely on the issue of repealing or modifying the drastic Vanm Ness prohibition enforcement act, while the republicans took up cudgels in fa. vor of strict law enforcement. The democrats cannot possibly ride Into a majority in the state senate, as eleven of the 15 ho'd-over candidates— a majority of the full house of 21—are republicans. They hope, however, to land a majority in the lower house and to elect enough candidates to the wpper house to give them a majority on joint deal promptly with possible violations of the election laws. CRAIG CALLS MEMBERS OF ULSTER CABINET TO LONDON London, Nov. 7.—(By The A. P.)—The discussions on the Irish settlement are nearing a climax. After a long confer- ence with Mr. Lloyd George today, Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier, sum- moned the members of his cabinet from Belfast for a meeting in London to con- sider the proposals made by the British government. 4 The members of the Dlster cabinet who will attend the meeting include John Milne Barbour, the marquie of London- derry, U. S. Andrews and E. A. Arch- dale, Thomas Moles, chairman of the committee of the Ulster parliament, will also join In the conference. The official announcement of this ac- tion also stated that there would be a further conference with Mr. Lioyd George Thursday afternoon. It is understood that the Ulster prem- fer informed Mr. Lloyd George that he could not possibly think of shoulder- ing the responsibility of accepting the proposals made to him by the prime min- ister, and would be compelled to consult hels colleagues in the Ulster parliament and also the representatives of the Ul- ster parliamentary group in Westminis- ter. Sir James Cralg authorized the state- ment that Mr. Lloyd George had con- sented to meet the Ulster delegation aft- er their meeting with Sir James. Everything, It is said, now depends on Thursday's meetings. and if the Ulster representatives definitely reject the com- promise proposals it is regarded as pos- sible that Mr. Lloyd George will carry out his threat to resign from office. According to the agency reports issued at a late hour tonight the serious offi- 1cial view regarding the negotiatons is due to the stiff attitude taken by the Ulster premier in his interview with the prime minister. Sir James is represented as intimating his firm determination to maintain Ulster's position, as he is said to have signified that in_his opinion the proposalg which Mr. Lloyd George suu- mitted to him seriously imperilled the reports of Ireland. In any case, he would concede nothing on his own responsibili- ty.
