TRENTON, Oct. Although as yet only
meager returns are in from the different
counties, they all indicate the defeat by a
large majority Of the constitutional amend
ment to restore the clause permitting spe-
cial legislation for cities. There was an
other amendment also voted on, but, al
though it simply corrected a clerical error
with respect to the appointment Of county
judges, il was weighted down by the special
legislation amendment, and its defeat is
also likely. Here, in Trenton, over l,5OO
votes were given against special legislation,
with less than 200 in its favor. All this
(Mercer) county went about the same way.
