Fagan will not be nominated. George
Witte, popular Bnyoune man, will prob
ably receive the nomination..
THE REPUBLICAN SECOND.
The Republicans in the Second district
are all out OF gear. The determination of
j. Herbert Potts to decline another term
in the Assembly and to enter into q con-
test with Robert s. Hudspeth for Sena-
torial honors has actually turned things
topsy turvy. Freeholder William George
Nelson is perhaps the most popular or
the men who have been mentioned for the
Assembly nomination and he could get 1t
II he desired it, but the probability of his
being a candidate is remote. Charlie
Laws, from the upper end of the district,
would be proud if the nomination was
rendered him. He is the captain of the
Federal Guards, eX-President of the
Federal Club, ex- Freehoider and at pres
ent Colonel John j. Toffey's right hand
man. II fight is made by Captain Laws
for the nomination he will come pretty
close to receiving it. The other candidates
mentioned are g. Frank Sutherland, a
proof reader on the EUen5ng Journal.
who has an unsaVory reputation for his
conspiracy with Benson and Pangborn to
divide the party and defeat Mr.. Potts
two year. ago, and eX-Fire Commissioner
Thomas F. Mills.
TUMlLTY's POOR SHOW.
mas du dIbcuO dOoliO W
represent the Third district for another
term, but his chances are not excellent.
The Third district contains a very large
number of very poor people. who nave
seriously felt the rise in the price of coal.
They know that Mr.. Tumilty voted for
the coal combine bill and that is enough
to settle him. Mr.. Tumilty is making
wild scramble for a denomination, but
men familiar with the district say he can
not get it. Henry ByrDes, Philip Tumilty
and Paul Sury are also mentioned as pos
sible candidates.
THE FOURTH'S CANDIDATES.
City Collector Patrick ii. O'Neill is very
anxious to go back to the Assembly he
wants to vote in the Senatorial contest.
There is much opposition to his renoml-
nation in the County Committee. 1t IS
said that Justice Robert Davis is firmly
set against it. If Mr. O'Neill insists on
the nomination, however, it is said he can
get it. The other candidates are Hugh
Kelly and Patrick Doyle. Whoever gets
it will have to hustle to be elected for
John Brennan will probably be the Re
publican nominee.
HEANEY NOT IN IT.
George A. Heaney is not nearly so Dopu-
lar in the Fifth district as he was year
ago, and it is believed that he will not be
renominated. Mervyn Armstrong has
been promised this nomination from year
to year, and the indications are that the
leaders will let him have it now. The
unpopularity of Reaney has arisen from
his attitude on the coal question and his
alleged aristocratic tendencies, which are
not popular wild de boys"
There will be no struggle in the Sixth
district. Teddy ]. Carroll will have no
opposition and will be reelected.
LAWLEsS MUST FIGHT.
Custom entities Martin Lawless of Har-
rison to another term, but the voters of
the Seventh district appear to be very ln-
different about following the custom. An
effort is being made to induce Freeholder
William j. Tierney to accept the nomlna-
ton. This is a scheme put up by the con-
stituents in the Jersey City end of the dis
trict. If Iierney should go to the Legis-
lsiure, Harrison could not next spring
ask TOR the Freehoder nomination also,
and that would leave the field wide open
for Andy J. Boyle. who wants to get into
the Board of Freeholders again.
MOYLAN ALL RIGHT.
II James Moylan wants to be renomi-
mated in the Eighth district, he has only
TO say the word. 1t is not probable that
he will do this, however. and the nomina-
New York Sunday Mercury. The name
of Fred J. Mershe1mer has also been men
toned.
THE NORTHERN END.
NJ. J. Coyle will be reelected in the
Ninth district, and it is probable that
Cornelius j. Tahen will have like sue
cess in the Tenth district. There is some
opposition TO Mr. Tahen, but he believes
it will vanish at the primaries.
John Zeller will have no opposition for
the nomination in the Eleventh district.
and the Democratic majority is so great
there that his defeat is almost impossible
without a third candidate being in the
field.
