NOTABLES ON HAND.
MAGNIFICENT DISPLAYS EVERYWHERE,

lS5teruaJ ouutng CI tne DennlS NC
Laughlin Association at College Point.
Notwithstanding the committee prepared
only for social time, was grea t event
in local and State politics.
1t demonstrated beyond dispute that
Mr.. Mclaughlin is the leader of Hudson's
Democracy.
And it was boom for Governor Alb
belts Senatorial aspirations because of
Mr.. McLaughlin's warm personal and
political friendship.
1t was boom for the Hudson DEM
ocracy, for it showed that under tn g
leadership of Mr.. Mclaughlin the party
in Hudson is thoroughly united and or
the very end of the Bergen Point dock
and IS ready to fight under the Albeit
ana Mclaughlin banners.
Nothing like it in the way of local
political demonstration was ever seen in
the State of New Jersey.
The closest calculators say seventeen
hundred and fifty men participated. The
figure was probably nearer two thousand,
as stated in The NEWS yesterday, and
every man was either an officeholder or a
political worker.
1t is useless to attempt to name the
local Democratic officials who were pres
ent. 1t was crystallization of the hither-
to inharmonious factions of the party.
Men once prominently known in the
Democratic arena, but who for years had
been nursing grievances, dispelled the
pout from their lips, donned a Nc Laugh
lin hat ana badge and hustled with the
throng for College Point.
COMING INTO CAMP AGAIN.

McGovern, and ex-Freeholder Shinsell
hundred, and "Billy'' Barry and his long
dock contingent were in their old places.
John Craven, JOAN Mullins and Dennis
Reardon, of the cid Second, were well
coined back to the bosom of the solid
Democracy. ''Jim" Roche was there,

Sheeran's stoop Is the Macs went march
ing by.
It was simply an outing, SO the COM
mittee in charge declared, But
it must have struck dismay to the hearts
of Republican leaders who Witnessed

THE RUN TO THE POINT.
The crowd was so big that it took q
long while for it to file aboard. 1t was
twenty minutes past eleven when the
party found itself afioat. The trip WAS
cursion parties usually do. Refresh
ments were free. Some of the crowd
amused itself in song. The heels and
toes of others were set in motion by the
music of a. bagpipe player: Here and
there were observed knots of politicians
discussing the success of the outing.
Director-at-large Brugeeman, of the
Board OF Freeholders, in the absence of
ex-Mayor Grassman. of Hoboken, took
advantage of the opportunity to make
hay while the sun was shining. But l
was told that the Jersey City politicians
have left the matter OF bruggeman's re-
nomination to be settled by the Hobok-
enites.
THE MAYoRALTY NOMINATION..
Register George b. Fielder. who was
doomed for the mayoralty on the occa-
sion of the O'Neill's recent outing, and
who gloriously marshalled the ONellFs
in Yesterdays parade, was also observed
shaking hands with great many people.
/ asked Mr.. Fielder what there was in his
mayoralty boom.
Il don't know" he answered.
Would you accept the nomination If
rendered you," asked.
II can't tell," he said, hesitatingly.
"Of course, like any other man, I'd like
the honor of holding such position. II

a situation won't deny that I'd accept"
Allan L. McDermott, whose name has
also been prominently mentioned in con-
nection with the nomination for Mayor

the day.

Mr.. McDermott; but when closely pressed
for an answer as to whether he would ac-
cept the nomination under anv circum-

Senators Adrain and Werts have Guber-

along the Adrain boom; and that both
feel the need in Hudson of the support Of
