have taken rooms at the Capital Hotel.
NJ. d. Boruck came up yesterday. His
rooms are at the Metropolitan, Fifth and J
streets.
As to prospects of the Convention, little
has vet developed. It seems to be con-
ceded that NJ. NJ. Estee will be chosen
Chairman of the Convention, and probably
without opposition. For Secretary the
names of J. r. Finlayson and NJ. D..
Beruck are the only ones thus far men
toned.
! There can hardly be question that the
| Convention will take grounds in favor of
nominating Senators from the odd districts
this fall, anticipating action by the EXecu-
tive favoring this position. The Governor
declines, however, at present, to state what
he will do in the premises.
In the reorganization of the State Cen
trail Committee the following are spoken of
for Chairman: Ex-Governor Perkins, NJ.
NJ Estee, Louis Sloss, J. b. Stetson, 2. b.
| Cornwall. Alex. Badlam. +. F. Preston, l.
NJ. Scott, Whittier and w. II. Parks.
