There was lively session Of the Demo-
cratic County Committee last night. The
meeting was not called to order until
after half-past eight O'Clock. Chairman
O'Donnell delayed the opening of the
meeting with the hope of receiving call
from the much talked of Committee of
Eleven from the Committee of One
Hundred. The committee did not put in
an appearance at all and when the men,
bers of the County Committee got to-
gether there were some lively debates.
''If there is a Committee of Eleven in
existence" said one member "why has
1t not appeared heref We are prepared
TO receive any Democrat cordially who is
working for the best interests of the
party. But, it may as well be understood
now rs at any other time that the County
Committee is not to be dictated to. We
Will receive suggestions, and If we deem
1t advisable act upon them. AS a whole
we have hustling County Committee,
and this fact was clearly demonstrated in
the getting out of the two hundred thou
sand or more Fielder pastors. We have
lots of dead wood in this committee. but
it Is to be removed. We have not re-
ceived any official communication to the
effect that a committee of eleven from
the Committee of One Hundred will ask
us to give them certain privileges; but, in
anticipation OF some day. seeing such a
committee, l move that we appoint a
committee of eleven to adjust all matters
brought before US by outsiders"
The resolution was put and carried,
Chairman O'Donnell appointed the COM
mittee which consists OF one member
from each Assembly district. Who the
m1ttee, could not learned. Chairman
ODonnell declines to make his committee
known until he knows who compose the
Committee OF Eleven of the Committee Of
One Hundred.
There is feeling prevalent amongst
the members of the County Committee
that the Committee OF One Hundred
wants to run affairs to suit itself. There
is every likelihood chat clash will occur
If any such attempt is made.
1t was decided to hold the primaries for
the election of members to the County
Committee next Friday evening. Fifty
eight mem bers retire this evening. A ma
Jor1ty OF the fetiring committee will not
return, buYJailer Davis. City Cole ctor
O'Neill, Justice O'Donnell, Commissioner
EeeneyfJ danes Connolly and few others
will bereturned. The committee will be
reorganized then and only workers placed
at the head Of committees.
4ue LOIIOW1uS Sbd6culeuG mAQ6 Dy Con-
gressman-elect Fielder and published In
yesterdays JERSEY CITY NEWS probably
explains why the Committee of Eleven of
The Committee of One Hundred did not
meet with the County Committee last
night
"The Committee Of Eleven has been se-
1ected," Mr.. Fielder said, "Dut / do not
feel at liberty to make their names public
as yet. You can state that there will be
no meeting between any members of the
Committee of One Hundred and the
County Committee at the regular meet
ing of the County Committee tonight.
"Mr. Davis has requested nae to let the
matter rest until next month, when there
will be an election of county committee
men, at which over one-haf of the me
bers are to be elected. Mr.. Davis said
that better element would be electe d,
and the Committee of One Hundred as
decided to wait until after this election.
Il am sanguine that better day is
dawning for the Democracy in Hudson
county, as the interests of the party will
be in better hands"
