following lie today
Chairman Mcdonald has not yet appointed
the four members -atlarge of the Stale Com
mittee, and there is considerable speculation as
to whom he will select. Allan L. McDermott,
who is chairman of the committee, is one of the
present committeemen-at-large Hudson s
Democratic leaders want McDermott turned
down, =" and influence is beng brought to bear
on Chairman Mcdonald not to reappoint him.
Mr. Mcdonald has been sick since the night of
the convention and is confined TO his home in
East Newark. 1t is said that Police Justice
Davis, of Jersey City, who is at the head of the
movement to turn down. called at McDonald's
home Saturday and urged him to appoint
another Hudson man in McDermott's place, Mr.
Mcdonald is seeking a nomination for Congress
man and it is not probable that he will do any
thing to offend the Hudson leaders.

lice Justice Davis today and his comm ent
was stormy one. "These World report
ers," he exclaimed. Indignantly, know
as much about my business as horse

ence to secure the honor for Mr.. McDer-
mott That is Just how much the World
knows of my business. What would l
want to autagonize McDermott for?
i IT, ~
at such Il time? Bosh!' And disgusted
with the latest World fake, the Justice
turned away.
Just one moment" 1 said, "do you

''That is ooly known to Chairman Nc
