minutes from memoranda taken
during the meetings and manifolded
copies for the various papers
which are authorized to print them. The
proofs were always compared carefully
with the original copy. The printed min

need have no fear of having additional
labor imposed upon him through any

BAYONNH CONSPIRACY.
A Scheme to Overturn DEM
oCratiC Caucus Action
by a Wicked
Combine.

Rumors of another political conspiracy
were bruited about Bayonne yesterday
afternoon. It is claimed that School
Doyle, and ex-School Trustee Horace
Robertson are In it. All three feel very
sore over the election of School Trustee
George e. Griswold as President of the
Board of Education and ex-School Trustee
Michael f. Humphrey as Secretary at
Monday evenings meeting of the Board.
Although Doyle voted for both Girls
wold and Humphrey with the rest of his
fellow Democrats. he did so under press
ure. The present rumors allege that the
scheme is to expeI Trustee John J..
Hickey from thu Board as being a nom
resident of ths Fourth ward. When
Trustee Hickey was elected to the Board
from the Fourth ward last year he
was a resident Of that section ger,
rymandered from the First ward
aud recently returned to the First by
the Supreme Court decision which upset
the Rerrymander, This spring Trustee
Hickey ran on the Citizens ticket In the
Fourth ward for the two years of his un
expired term and was reelected without
opposition. He claimed a residence at
No. Is Cottnge street and still claims
residence there. In proof he has shown re-
ceipts for rent paid. If the seven Repub-
licans of the Board enter into the scheme,
and, with the assistance of Trustee Doyle,
expel Trustee Hickey, the farther plau is
to declare the elections Of President Girls
void and Secretary Humphrey illegal and
elect Trustee Charles M. Allen. Repup-
lican, to the Presidency, and Ex-Trustee
Robertson, also Republican, to the sec
retarvship.
1t is understood that Trustee Doyle has
been promised good position under
Trustee Edwards in the employ of the
Tidewater Oil Company. of which Ed
wards Is an official, for his part in the
programme, il it is car red into effect.
There Is some doubt, however, as to the
ability of the conspirators to induce sew
eral Of the Republican School Trustees to
enter into the plot. Trustee Hickey will
strenuously oppose all efforts to expel him
from the Board. His Democratic
colleagues, with the exception of Doyle.
will assist him in his fight, as will
President Griswold too. The Board of
Education will hold an adjourned meet
ing on Monday evening, and If any at
tempt to carry the scheme Into execution
is made, the session will be very lively in
deed.
The statements in this item were con-
firmed this morning by friend OF Trus-
tee Doyle, who alleged that the Trustee
had told him all the particulars of the
alleged deal.
