CANDIDATES NAMED FOR THE ASSEMBLY Talk in Second District of Nominating Henry A. Mur- phy, of Huntington , Who Served Before in Assembly. John Boyle , jr., of Huntington , is mentioned as a candidate for Member of Assembly in the Second district to succeed Cecil \V . Proctor , ' Mr. Boyle has been spending; his summers at Huntington for a number of years but voted there for the first time last fall. He was for years .Transfer Tax Appraiser for Bronx County and since has been attorney for the State Tax Commission representing Bronx County a position he held when last fall the -Democrats carried the state. Boyle knows the political game but is not very well acquainted in Suffolk County. It is also gossip in political circles that former Assemblyman Henry A. Murphy may again enter the race for the Republican nomina- tion in the Second-Assembly district. The Democratic State organization is going to make a drive t.o capture the Statu Assembly next fall and it is understood that Governor Smith is going .to lead the camp ' aign. This year the Assembly was Republican' b y a majority-of five. While the Demo- crats are planning to . carry \ ' the As- sembly , the Republicans are already at work to increase their majority in the Assembly believing that a heavy- Republican vote this fall will be a forerunner of the Presidential cam- paign next year. One of the districts that will receive the (attention of both State organizations U the . Second Assembl y district in this county. Last fall Cecil \V. Proctor , Republican , was only elected by a small majority. His opponent was Elector Robiehon of Huntington. This year Assembly- man Proctor announces that he . will not be a candidate for re-election and who will bo named to take his place by the Republicans is not ' known. The leaders , however , Jn that district , will pick a strongcandidatc for it is know n that the Demociats . intend to put up a fi ght there this fall. The dinner given to Speaker Mac- hold at the National Republican Club was, a bi g dinner \to ~ a big man. \\The Speaker was placed among the fore- most [ Republicans of the state and nation. .The dinner resolved itself into a boom for Machold for Gover- nor. There is considerable speculation as to what Governor Smith will do to t'he repealer to the Mullen-Gage law. Some say ho will and some say ho. will not sign. Others say he must sign it to keep faith with a large per- centage of those who voted for him , and others say he cannot , sign it , hav- ing taken the oath to support the Constitu tion of the United States. However , it will not 'be acted upon for two weeks , and in the meantime , those who . have not made a guess will have a chance to say what thev .think. Strange as it may appear , there are those who know just exactly what the Governor intends to do. But they may be mistaken too. The New York World has started a drive to have the next Democratic National convention meet in \ that city. Mrs. Eloiso C. Tuttle , postmaster at Romsenburgh has resi gned to tats \ ef- fect immediately. The pay is so sm-d that Mrs. Tuttle could not afford to devote her time to the position. It is expected that Forrest Tuttle will suc- ceed her. Two post offices in a vil- lage of 500 inhabitants doesn 't pay and since Mrs. Turtle ' s ; resignation there is some talk of' consolidating. The row years ago over-changing the name of Speonk to Eemsenburg divided the village and caused two post offices to be established there. FIND WILL EXECUTED ' BY MfiSJRIFFING Was Believed Copiague Worn- an Had Died Intestate Until Brooklyn Lawyer Wrote to Surrogate Last Week. Another interesting feature in con- \Wt'ojv-with , the estate of the late Mrs. Mane C. Griffing, of Copiague widow of Nathaniel A. ' Griffin* to- rn orl y 0 f Rivcrhcad' , was the finding last week of a will which Mrs. Grif- fing had executed on March 8 , 1910. Mrs. Griffing died on January 4 last at the home of George W. Cort , Jr., in AiiutyviHe. A short time thereaf- ter , Mrs. Susan Blauvelt , of Clinton , Conn., a sister of Mrs. Grillin g, ap- plied, to Surrogate Robert S. Pclle- treau for letters of amfnistration and being assured that no will was found the letters were issued to Mrs. Blau- vel t , who . was un ' aware that there waa a will in existence. Charles Grim , an attorney, of Brooklyn , read in the newspapers last week that George W. Cort , Jr., had been directed, by Surrogate Pelletreau to turn over jewels , the appraised value of which is .$1 , 370 awl other per- sonal property belong ing to Airs. Griffing, to the administratrix of her estate . ' Lawyer Grim, though t Mrs. Griffin g ' B name sounded familiar so he wont to his safe , looked through his papers and found 1 the will which he had drawn for her in 1910 , and in which he was named as executor. He immedi ately wrote a letter to the Suf- folk Surrogate ' s Court and, enclosed the original will. The Brooklyn at- torney said he did not know Mrs. Qrif- fin.g was dead until he read the article in the newspaper last w . eek. The will , however , makes no change in the distribution of the estate. It provided that the testatrix ' s paren ts , Mr. and Mrs. Charles Walter , should have the use of the estate during thei r lifetime and at their death that it should be divided among her next of kin , other than her husband , who was then Henry ,11. Spiticchi , (Prof. Henry R. Spedick , of Frcopor l , director of Spedick' s Orchestra.) Mr. and Mrs. Walter predeceased Mrs. Griffing, so the next of kin at Mrs. Gri fling ' s death were her sisters , Mrs. Blauvelt; and Mrs. Emily Col- lins , , thc latter of Brooklyn , who would also have received, the estate if Mrs. Griffing had died intestate. The will states that the testatrix did not desire her husband ( Prof. Spedick ) to have any part other estate , but \I wish the same distributed as if I had died intestate without leaving a hus- band surviving me. \ .Lawyer Grim ' s letter states that soon after the will was executed the decedent obtained a divorce from her husband. They were married at Brunswick , N. J., on July 8; 1902. The decedent had previously been married to a man named BadJor , and a son , Charles A. W. > Bader , born of that union , died on November 2 , 1905 , at the age of 18 years. On September 10 , 1911 , \ Mrs. Spiticch i (that being the name she was then known by when she executed the will) married'Nathaniel A. Griffing. The latter-was struck and fatally injured by a big motor- truck owned by a New York bread company, on the morning of October 2 , 1915 , while on his way to the depot at Copiague to take a train for . New York , where -ho was employed. . LLTUAINWINS flLD ENGINEER STRICKEN George B. Cunningham Suf- fers Attack of Heart Dis- ease At the Throttle and Dies As Train Loaches • Brentwood. Engineer George B. Cunningham o£ 359 Autumn avenue , Brooklyn; had an attack of heart disease Sunday nigh t at the throttle of a locomotive pull- ing the west bound evening train from Greenport. With Cunningham ' s body, leaning from the cab-the , train Tan wild past the Central Islip and Brent- wood station at sixty, miles an hour. It was finally stopped when the con- . ductor , John J. McKdever , 1 realized that something was .wrong and pulled •the emergency air brake , cord, j The hundred passengers know nothing, of their danger until the train had been stopped. McKeevor was amazed when tho train ran past the Central Islip sta- tion. He knew that it was running wild when Cunningham did hot . sound a warning whistle at a grade crossing between Central Islip and Brentwood. Mcheover pulled the whistle cord , and when the signal was not answered or heeded by the engineer the con- ductor went to the vestibule and look- ed out the door. He saw the head and right arm of the engineer dangling from the cab window, and . at : once pulled the emergency cord. Fireman Matthew Carazza. said . afterward he was busy staking the engine when he heard and felt ther grinding of .the brakes ,. and looking across the cab , 1 saw that Cunningham was unconscious. - He immediately clambered to the other side and grasped the throttle from the hand of the engineer. McKeevor ' and a few of the , pas- sengers ran forward as soon as the train had stopped \ and lifted the eng ineer from the cab \ .;He ' was put in the parlor car and th * c \ fireman ran the train back ' to Brentwood , \ where Dr. E. S. Moore , of Bay - Shore , 1 waa called. - Dr. Moore - was unable*. toVre- \ vivo the engineer , who died' a \few , minutes later 'ih the Brentwood sta* ti' on. '«FWAV TIME , 'NO 00 IN E J ISTPORT VILLAGE Special School Meeting Votes to Have School Run on I Daylight- Savinp , Time , But Fight May Be Resumed id Fall. After a lively, controversy which threatened to , divide families and break up happy homes , Eastport has adopted the Daylight Savingitime for its nublic school. The question was brought up at the annual school meeting and . a lively row was started at once. , People took - sides and'indulged even in personali- ties. In some cases members of a family to ok differen t views. Finally it wa$ . decided to ha . ve a special meeting to decide the question .and, the Board of Education held forth last Friday eve- . ning to settle the question. Ail eli- gible voters of the school district were invited to vote , but the surprising thing was the smalt number that took . - advantage. Some of those who had talked ithe most against the new , time did not oven atten d the meeting, while scores who were there went away without ( Voting. , 'The Board of Education received many complaints when the new time went into effect. Most of, the duck ranches which is the . principal in- dustry in Eastport are run on stand- ard time , while the mechanics, observe the daylight time. The Board of E du- cation , which is composed of some ' men who are real diplomats , tried to . please both sides by voting to run the school on \between time , \ which was moving the school clock a half hour ahead instead of an hour. This plan, raised, a row. It pleased nobody. \Wo don 't want any halfway business , \ waa the cry raised by some of the women. . There was a large attendance at the meeting on Friday night, but not more than a third voted and there was only. 31 ballots cast with the reeult that 23 voted for daylight saving and 8 for standard time. \i - Now the supporters of standard, time are finding fault because their; ' friends did not vote at the meeting. Starting this week , the school will be run on daylight, time but before school starts in the fall a canvass of the dis- trict will be taken to ascertain what time the parents wish the school to be run on , as one of the strange things about the vote was the large number of people who voted; for daylig ht time who have no children in school. It is expected that the fig ht will be resumed in the fall. \ , ¦ • ' • SOUTHSIDE HOSPITAL ONE OF THE FINEST Building At Bay Shore Near- ing Completion. Will Be One of the Finest in the State. The Southsidc Hospital , which is being erected at Bay Shore , is rap idly ncaring completion and will be one of the finest hospitals of its siize any- where in the country. It will have all the very latest appliances and im- provements , and among other things , a perfectly equipped X-ray room with an X-ray machine as manufactured by the Campbell .Electric Company of Lynn , Mass., and a special operator is to _ be engaged to take charge of this department. The grounds about the hospital will be laid out in a most attractive man- ner , and Mrs, !H. K. Knapp, the chair- man of the grounds .committee , has re- cently announced an anonymous gift of a brick and iron grilUwork orna- mental fence to go along the entire front of the hospital grounds. This fence will cost over $5i000., and will add greatly to the attractiveness of the hospital property. 'At a recent meeting of the Board of Managers , two new members were elected to the Board , namely, Charles Smizek , of East Islip. and James F. Richardson , of Islip. ' James F. Richardson was made ¦ jhairman of the corner stone eommit- tcvrT-snd will have charge of the cere- monies on the opening day of the hos- pital. T \ he exact day of the opening has not yet been decided, upon , but it will bo as near the first of June as is possible. It is expected that Senator Copelarid , of New York , will make the ! chief address , and addresses will also be made by other spea kers , including the clergy of the various denomina- tions. lL The opening of the Southsidc Hos- pital will be a grea t event for the en- tire ' .South side of Ij ong Island , and it is almost impossible to o-itimato the benefits this institution will bring to the.inhab itants of Long Island .

AGED MAN NEAR DEATH WHEN HOUSE IS BURNED Joseph R. Bayles , of Mount Sinai , Has Narrow Escape , But Is Rescued By His Neighbors. * Joseph R. Bayles , an aged resident of Mount Sinai , narrowly escaped death early Sunday morning by suf- ifocation when his home was destroyed by fire. Bayles lived alone in a little cottage at Mount Sinai. About 3 o ' clock Sunday morning a neighbor discove red that the Bayles house was afIre l and going to the house he tried to arouse the occu- pant. He was unable to get any re- sponse to repeated pounding on the door and finally he broke a window in the kitchen and made his way 1 in 'the house. In a bedroom on tho .lower floor ho found Mr. 'Bayles partly unconscious from .suffocation and had hard work in getting the man outdoors. The lower part' of the house was starting to burn , the upper part being a mass of flames. Neighbors cared for Bayles and he was treated by a physician who ar- rived later. The . house was totally destroyed. ' Tho Port Jefferson and Port Jef- fe rson Station fire departments re- sponded to the alarm , but the house was completely gutted when they ar- tived. ' P An innovation in the Suffolk County Supreme Court this week was ^ the delivering to the grand jury upon the completion of its work of an impressive address-on good citizenship by Justice. John MacCrate , who among other things told the jury that their service in that capacity would undoubtedly be of great benefit to them and make them better citizens; The presentment of the grand jury contained the following com- plimentary reference to District Attorney LeRoy \ M. Young and Sheriff Amza W. Biggs : \The grand jury desires to compliment the District Attorney and tho Sheriff on tho efficient and courteous management of their respective * offices. \ Franklin Overton , a wel l known resident of Peconic , was foreman of the jury.

Gar- diner , jr., also of that place , for, $25 , - 000 damages for pergonal injuries. Miss 'Grace was in such a highly nervo us condition that she became hysterical when carried into the courtroom in a chair that she had, to be removed to the waitipg room and morphine had to. bo admJnis(;ered . 'ito quiet her. On account of her condi- tion she was not able to testify. Miss Grace was hit by young Gardiner ' s car on the night of November 9, 1921. She was walking in the hi ghway at the time. . It was raining and -witnes- ses testified she carried an umbrella. There was some testimony to the ef- fect that Gardiner did not have lights on his , car. Il-Io admitted th e re wore no lights when the car stopped , but ho con- tended that when the accident oc- curred the lamps were lighted , the electricity being generated by the en- gine when in operation. Counsel for plaintiff moved to have the verdict sot aside and Justice MaoCrate reserv- ed decision. Briefs are to be submit- ted by, both sides. Wesley Brown , ' of Huntington Sta- tion , who was struck and seriously in- jured ono night test summer by an automobile owned by (Morris and Jacob iCoh on , brothers' , of Huntington , was awarded $2 j 500 in an action for $5 , 000 damages.

According to Mr. Bladen , the insti- tution had agreed to provide a per- sonal attendant for Mrs. .MoCreary and he contended that if that had been (lone she would: not have been in- jured, 'He insisted the acciden t was due to negligence on th| part of the management of the home. Justice MaoCrate , in dismissing the com- plaint , held, that the plaintiff had failed to prove wherein the . institution was -negligent. Testimony was given showing that the institution was regu- larly inspected by the representatives of the State Lunacy Commission and that the floors had been similarly treated for many years and no one; had been injured! by slipping and fall- ing on them. Former Acting U. S. District At- torney Wallace E. J. Collins, was the trial counsel , for the plaintiff . Samuel P. Hildreth and, County Judge George H.
