in which the members had been entertained at

esteem, he feeling proud of the responsibility and
standing Of those legislators who soourned with

A HERALD reporter called on Governor Parker
at the Executive Chamber in Trenton yesterday to
ascertain his views in regard to the police conflict in

that the convicted Commissioners have no right to
continue in Office, but he does not see how he can
place the appointees in offlce. He regards the
case as o contest for oflce to be settled by the
courts.
