Appeals Comnfttce hass
Night at In Union League Club.
Nine of the eleven members of the Com
mittee on Appeals of the Republican County
Committee met last night at the Union
League Club and organized by electing
Aaron S. Baldwin chairman and Henry
Ewald, secretary. The committee next re-
viewed the protests that had been filed with
the County Committee since the recent
primary election for County Committee
men.
The first to be considered was the protest
against the election of John j. Evans of
Marion. The protest set forth that Evans
worked" the Democratic ticket at the polls
last fall, and that, therefore, he was not
eligible for the office of county committee
man.
Some republicans in the Jersey City por-
ton of the Seventh district had also filed a
protest against the election of John Woods
In Kearny. It was charged against him
that at a previous primary Woods had per-
mitted men not enrolled 60 vote, which was
a violation of the constitution.
A third protest was against the person
elected from the Seventh precinct, Eighth
district. 1t was alleged that the primary
was an Illegal one, because people not en-
rolled were permitted to vote, and further,
that some of those who voted were not
eligible to be enrolled.
The protest from the Fourth precinct Of
the Eighth district was against the election
of three members of the County Committee,
and claimed, like the preceding one, that
men were permitted to vote who had no
right to such a privilege.
The Committee on Appeals, after reading
the protests, concluded to take the testimony
in each case at a future date. 1t is probable
that no decision will be reached until
