In many years has the fight over the

Surrogate and three for Assembly. The
caucus will be held this afternoon
The principal fight is between Paul
A. Queen and ex-Sheriff John Corcoran,
the two candidates for Surrogate.
1t is reported that Lambertville and
High Bridge, which are the largest vot-
ing places in the county, will give Cor
vote, a majority sufficient to cover all
the doubtful townships.
The Qnenites are also confident of the
nomination. Ex-Judge r. 8. Kule will
