Sea Gate was an inhospitable place yesterday. In addition to the Sea Gate Association's own private police there were contingents of cops from the Coney Island station and 16 private detectives congregated around the gate.

They were there to prevent anybody Joining the war already going on tastde. Hundreds applied at the gate for admission, counting on a pleasant week-end In the xecluslve colony section, but unless they were friends of the party In control, the Assorts tlon, they were barred. Inside, the little group which had defied the Association's taxation was weakening. The ptlea of garbage whllch stood In mounds In front of their homes, uncollected by the As sociation's private street cleaning department, were weakening everybody. By 4 o'clock In the afternoon 15 of the 60 defiant property own era had succumbed to the aroma and the Association's adamant stand and paid their maintenance fees of from $200 to $250 each.

James W. Shaw, secretary of the Association, Jubil antly predicted that another is would give In before this morning. "The choice Is up to them," he said. 'They can pay their dues or suffer the consequences." Ashes and Garbage Pile Up. The long battle against the ob streperous group came to a head Thursday when the association had red marks painted on the sidewalks in rroni or the a home, to indicate to the local Police.

Fire and Street Cleaning department that these houses were to be skipped In the dally round of duties With ashes and garbage piling up around ineir nouses, uncollected since Wednesday, the (0 recalclt rants demanded the assistance of the city departments, claiming that as they paid clt taxes they were entitled to city service. Up until last night they had received no assurance from the city that they would get lt, and the association remained In control. The Association sent around letters to the members yesterday In which notification was given that tho rules that govern the Sea Gate district, already very strict, would be enforced even more rigidly In the future. The secretary said that he had been Informed that some of the members were commercialising their privileges by renting their places for week-ends. Hereafter, he wrote, the police of the section will be instructed to keep careful batch on the bathers, to see that no outsiders arc" permitted in.

Also, no bathers will be allowed to wear their bathlr.g suits through the streets. Fader ''Martial Law." The growing anger of the $0 objectors reached such a point that the Association deemed it necessary to call on the Coney Island police and the Plnkerton Detective Agency for assistance. The additional force was on hand, but no actual trouble broke out. The gate was virtually under military guard and the district itself tinder martial law. Mr.

Shaw denied that racial feeling had anything to do with tho trouble. He called attention to the fact, in answer to charges of anti-Semitism, that at the last meeting at which new members were taken In, 18 of the 26 applicants accepted were Jews. 1 5th A. D.

By HEXRY 81YDAM. Washlngon, Aug. 11 President Coolidge a return to Washington to-day was marked by a determination on the part of New England polit ical leaders to get behind his Administration and increase his prestige to such point that nomination next year will be inevitable. Except in the case of Secretary of War Weeks, who was a candidate for nomination in 1920, New England has never been able to get together on a candidate. New England would never have been able to agree on Calvin Coolidge as a candidate at any normal time, but ihe fact that he is now President will necessarily insure solid New England support.

Calvin Coolidge lo an accomplished fact, and no longer a pious aspiration. Clear Indication of coherent aown- east sentiment is already seen In the announcement of Senator George looses of New Hampshire, who will support Mr. Coolidge. Mr. Moses, however agile he may be mentally, could do no less.

As a progressive It has hitherto been assumed that he would back Hiram Johnson foi President. If suitable political oppor tunity offered. But now all is changed: for Moses to have turned dewn a New England President for a Paelnc Coast candidate would have been' almost political suicide. Coolidge Foreign. Policy Unknown.

Some persons are reading into Senator Moses' announcement an Interpretation that President Coolidge has already given, satisiaciory assurances irreconcilable settlement on such questions aa Mr. Harding's projected worm court aanesion. Is argued that Mr. Moses would never have deserted Hlram Johnson for Mr. Coolidge unless he had positive proof that the new President would yield to irreconcilability in foreign affairs.

This correspondent noticed that word was passed around at Marion and on President train returning to Washington last night that the President would do nothing to offend this sentiment of aloofness. Ths may or may noi oe true, out lt can be said with frankness that there has not been any ndlcatton whatever of Calvin Coolldge's foreign policy, one way or the other. George MAYOR HYLAN AIMS TO GET WATERMAN INTO BUS WRANGLE Chairman of Committee of 1,000 Assailed for Not Lining Up With City Administration. Mayor Hylan Issued a 'new statement yesterday seeking to dra Frank D. Waterman, chairman of the Committee of 1,000, into the bus controversy.

The Mayor says he is still waiting to hear whether. Mr. Waterman and his committee are willing to let the people of NeW York have adequate bus service to take the place of the temporary bus service which "Louis Marshall threatens to stop when he gets his dander up." Th' rvirnmlttce of 1.000 was or ganized to get action on the Cross-town and the Washington- Heights subways. Mayor Hylnn's surrender on this issue, however, has not csused the committee' to disband, eh.umn. WaiArmnn.

has announced that.the committee is noi lamnK anything for granted and that it will maintain Its organisation and keep its machinery well oiled until It sees "the dirt fly." He has Indicated, however, that the committee will not permit Itself to be drawn Into the bus or any other Issue. The Mayor's statement reads. In part: nrn.Bpman un allent hi the moon.

They arc intended to convey the Impression that Mr. Waterman's heart bleeds for every person In the city. As Mr. Watermsn has earned no medals for noteworthy public sen Ire we can only Judge of hla sincerity by his action In private spheres.

Money has always looked good lo him and he never objected to Its tinkle In the cash hex on his side of the counter. Therefore. It Is safe to assume that all races and creeds have contributed to the en richment of Mr.

Waterman's organ isation. 'But In atcepting money and paying It out, Mr. Watsrman adopts HA tw a At little about lt aa sny other man Aa a New England Senator there waa an urgent political compulsion upon him to suport a New England President, and this he haa lost no time In doing. Hlram Johnson is simply out of luck, although Mr, Moses has. always been Just a little too clever to make hie defection as politically disastrous- as some other men of lesser intellectual brilliance but greater politcal Influence.

Coolidge Candidacy Assured. The Coolidge candidacy next year is accepted as an assured tact. The new President Is a political protege of the late Senator Murray Crane of Massachusetts and William M. Butler of Boston, chairman of the Republican State Committee. Mr.

Butler has been grooming Calvin coolidge tor tne- Republican noml nation for some time, long before there was ever any thought that he might succeed to the Presidency be causeof Mr. Harding's death. Efforts were made earlier this year to induce Mr. Coolidge to run for the United States senate in 1924. against Senator David I.

Walsh, Democrat. who Is unusually strong. It was thought that Mr. coolidge might have a chance of detesting mm. Mr.

Coolidge had no desire to risk defeat In any such manner. The Intention of his managers was to run hlm'agaln for the Vice Presidency on the same ticket as Mr. Harding, then try to nominate him for the Prest dency in William M. Butler, it is already in- dicated, will be President Coolldge's chief political adviser. He has been in Washington all week, and made thetrlp to Marlon and back In the President's private ear together with Frank Stearns of Boston.

Mr. Butler Is a man of better political Judg ment and wider political experience than Mr. Stearns, who has been ai most exclusive In his personal in terest in Calvin Coolidge. Mr. Butler is a lawyer and textile manufacturer, a man of, considerable private means, who, after serving some years in the Massachusetts Legislature, was taken by Wintrop Murray Crane and groomed oas his Dolltlcal successor.

And Mr. Butler, In has been grooming Calvin Coolidge. President Coolidge. tn other words, has already behind him a well-organised- political machine, which had its eyes on the Presidency months and even some years ago, for a candidate is not made in a day, or even it may be, in four years. Now it la quite clear that all New England will perforce get-behind this Coolidge boom, including such men aa Henry Cabot Lodge and John Weeks.

The one being administration leader In the Upper House, the other a member of his Cabinet, and both being from his hoe State, nothing else could be Butler and Weeks not Over Friendly. The relations between William M. Butler and Secretary Weeks have been sometimes hone too cordial. When Senator 'Crarte died a few years back, Mr." Weeks did Mf. Butler but; of 'a place on Republican National Cohimlttee, to which the latter finally succeeded wheh Mr.

Weeks took a Cabinet po in 1921. As for Senator Lodge, IS has never been very cordial to t' so-called Coolidge machine, nor has if to him. Frank Stearns, for example, has never forgiven Lodet for not getting the Massachusetts delegation solidly behind Coolidge at Chicago tn 1920. These minor feuds will probably now be forgotten. Both Weeks and Lodge must necessarily climb on Mr.

Coolldge's bright new band wagon. The President on his part la now top-dog and he can afford to be magnanimous. The Coolidge candidacy in 1924 will he a New England candidacy, and New England is quite as canny as Ohio when It comes to knowing' just what It wants. example, a 15-year-old youth ventured timidly into the offices of the self-appointed public defender's organisation. He was In search of a Job from the concern of th? man who Is ready to put stenographers to work If the newspapers will sufficiently advertise his Pharisaical generosity.

The boy's qualifications were apparently acceptable but he did not get the Job. Why. do you suppose? Simply because Mr. Water-man'a firm shuddered at the thought of employing any one who was not of a particular religious faith. Wtmt do you think of that In this big city of many creeds and forms of worship? However "Ideal'' Mr.

Waterman claims his ink carriers may be, the requirements for employment In his concern -are not only not Ideal hut actually repugnant to the Ideals of a country which boasts ot re. Ilglous 'tolerance and freedom. t' "Not RrtMMl-Mindcd." "Thus It may readily be seen that Mr. Waterman is no: the broad-minded, tolerant, pubMc-apirltrd Individual he would have the people believe him to be. If he will not permit any.

one but those of a particular creed to enter his employ, may not nil those who were nresented wl-h the Fountain Pen Petition rightly ask whether they imisl be Waterman's own religious proclivities to ride on the subways about which he mart so much noise? "As Mr. Watermnn must necessarily be consistent he w'-Hvnve a'1 non-com 'ormlsts aside with a pained look. Then where nr- they to go? To the city bus lines vhlrh wo- n. tend to operate?

Efforts to reach Mr. Waterman isst nlr-hl for a -itement on Mayor Hylan's charges, were futile. Word was given out the Waterman home In Manhe'lnn that Mr.

Waterman was out of the city over the week-end. SENATOR BORAH BACKS COOLIDGE FOR NOMINATION Calls President Logical Candidate and Pleads for Chance for Him to Make Good.
