UP) Gov-! ernor Moore, it Is understood by close political associates, will renew I in tits annual message to the legis- lature Tuesday his plea in favor of the preservation of the open primary law. He will reiterate his declarations In last year's inaugural address in favor of maintaining the direct nomination system Installed in 1911 by Governor Wilson with the aid of a Republican senate. He wil urge crime wave bglsla-tion and support the- contention that more highways are needed to take care of the steadily Increasing vehicular traffic In New Jersey. The repeal of the Blackwell so- called "easy divorce law" will again be ursed Governor Moore holds to the as sertion that while the legislature cannot do very much to solve the liquor problem under the. eighteenth amendment it can do something on the subject and should do what it can.

The governor favors adoption of a memorial to congress urging modification of the Volstead act. He also favors repeal of the Hobart state snforcement act on the ground that it is Inequitable and unfair. Governor Moore will call attention to the pending proposed amendments to the state constitution and criticize some of them, especially the one that would make the terms of governors four years instead of three and throw all gubernatorial elections (Continued on Page Two) KEEPPRIMARYTO i BE MOORE'S PLEA Tilson Sees Coolidge and Proposes Bill For Drafting Ship Specifications. BRITTEN TO DEMAND FUNDS FOR CONSTRUCTION WASHINGTON, Jan. 6 OP).

The embattled naval appropriation bill moved thru the house today to produce the first test of strength be-twern "big navy'' men and those who, standing with President Coolklge would avoid for the present any extensive building program. An amendment-reefed course faced leaders guiding the bill in accordance with the president's injunction that no additional appropriations be authorized and thus keep within the budget recommendations. In his note yesterday to Representative French, Republican, Idaho, in charge of the measure, Mr. Coolidgo expressly warned against providing funds for constructions of three cruisers authorized in 11124, but house leaders today were not certain they could muster sufficient strength to defeat amendments to appropriate the money, A prospective amendment, in principle in accord with the president's (Continued on Page Two) ments of the law which provide that the State Highway commission route must connect with its original ro.ute within five miles. It is understood that the Stevens amendment or act, will raise the limit to 10 miles.

Senator Stevens could not be reached this morning to obtain a statement regarding the legislation he will propose. With the convening of the legislature Tuesday at Trenton it is expected that the Monmouth highway situation will be plAcd before the legislature immediately and efforts made to obtain a speedy enactment of relief legislation. The matter undoubtedly will be given a hearing by a senate co'mm'lttco and at that time municipal officials and civic organization opposed to the plan will have representation to support the proposed change. Opposition to the proposed tio-in plan is based on tho fact that a great amount of the trafilc over the new' Shark river bridge would be dumped into Main street at Avon Instead of proceeding thru a back road. The Highway coi mission has claimed that it has no alternative that a connection must be made to the original route within five miles.

Main street, which is Route 4, is the original highway. RESCUE AT SEA A thrilling midsea rescue of 26 men on the freighter Marnofa was witnessed by Morris Elchengrecn of Neptune City, a passenger on the N. G. S. S.

adv4' IN CRUIS CLASH LOCAL IN SEES BY 26JPLAYERS Sox and Tigers Call Story of Sloughing of 1917 Series a Lie Hearing Will Continue Tomorrow. TRUTH, "SWEDE" AVERS, AFTER REPEATING CHARGE CHICAGO, Jan. 0. OP) Swede Risberg, Minnesota cowman and baseball outoast, sat In Commissioner Landis' crowded, stuffy office yesterday and heard 26 his, former playmates give him the lie. For hours ho sat within- arm's reach of men who used to sit beside him on the bench as members with him of the 1917-1920 White Sox; yet he heard no word of greeting, no "Hello, Swede," nor received any nod of recognition.

Once he was called a "pig." More than once he wos denounced as a liar, but he stuck to his story. When the hearing was adjourned early last night, after nearly, eix hours of testimony. 26 players had faced Risberg and denied his charges and more of them will take the stand when the hearing is resumed tomorrow, prepared to tear his revelations to shreds. For one hour he sat on the witness stand, his gaze matching that of baseball's overlord, and recited his story of a four-game baseball series which he said was bought and paid for to Insure an American league pennant for Chicago. Thru It all the denials, the shunning by former diamond pals, Risberg was the lone wolf against the pack; Impassive, stoical, determined.

"They can call me a liar," he said after it was all over, after Donie Bush, now manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, had Jumped from his chair and challenged him to fight, after Eddie Collins and the baseball hosts had vigorously scouted his story. "They can attack maas-an-ouieast of baseball, but i know that I told the truth. I'll stick to my story as long as they want to hear me." Weaver Won't Back Story Not even Buck Weaver, banished from baseball with Risberg following the expose of the "thv-own" world scries of 1919, gave Risberg's story substantiation. "I don't know anything about it, judge," said Weaver, when Commissioner Landis asked him about the 1919 series which Risberg laid was sloughed to Detroit. "I was always In there to win," Weaver said he was not with his team when the Labor day week, 1917, series was played the series Risberg sayvas for 11,100.

While 13 players told Landis that a pool had been raised, each said the money was not In payment for the Tigers to "lay down" but rather was a reward for the three-game beating the Tigers handed Boston, runners-up In the 1917 pennant race. Those who told Landis they contributed to, or had knowledge of the pool, were Eddie Collins, Kay Schalk, Rowland, Red Faber, John Collins, Harry Leibold, Joe Benz, Reb Russell, Jourdan and Buck Weaver, Members of the Tiger team of 1917 who said they got a share of the pool were: George Dauss, Oscar Stanage, Bcrnle Buland and George Cunningham. Call It Reward Money The Sox who contributed to the pool said It was reward money to the Detroit players for beating Boston. Dauss and Cunningham each beat Boston in the series mentioned, and Stanage caught. Boland, however, said he did not pitch in that series.

"I got $50 of the Sox pool," said Boland, "but I didn't pitch any of those Boston games. I guess it was 1 a present for my rooting on the bench." Bill James, "pay-off" man for the Tigers In the distribution of the Sox pool, Is on his way here from Los Angeles to his testimony to the grist. James, then a Tiger pitcher, Is the man Risberg said received the Sox pool to disburse to the Tigers.

Hope for improvement in tho Nicaraguan situation, dimmed by recent victories of the Sacasa Liberals in their war wilh tho American recognized conservative government of Adolfo Diuz, has been revived at the state department.
