1t seems almost heartless to spoil such

New York World during the past few
days about Senator McMickle carrying
and the wild chase through the wilder
wilds of Sussex County, which was made

MicKel and their pet measure. But they
are fiction, pure and simple, and in this

the Executive Chamber with the bill, he
found County Clerk Mclaughlin, bob"
Davis, John P. Feeney and other Hudson
County men in consultation with the
Governor. They were trying to persuade
him to sign the bill, but were making no
progress whatever. The Governor turned

statesmen were talking to him. II was
expected that it would be sent iu this
morning, but 1t did not come. Rumor
has it that the bill will be withdrawn,
but Senator Daily denies this. 1t is GER

chances of passing the bill over it are
practically nil
The statesmen from Hudson had better
luck with the Senate and succeeded in
persuading that body to pass Senator
Daly's bill for the election of the Board
of Education by the people. The bill
provides that the terms of all the mem
Ders of the Board shall expire on the first
Monday in May, and that two new me M
