LIFPINCO74 WON'T RUN
Says Plainly He Is Not Am
bilious to Be Governor Of
New Jersey.

From the New Jersey page OF this morn
ing's World"
OF the many names mentioned in
connection with the Democratic Guberna-
torial nomination none has excited more
enthusiasm nor been received with more
favor by the MASSES thai that of Job
H. Lfppincott, Hudson County's fearless
and upright Supreme Court Justice.
In this era of reform Justice Lippincott
is regarded by many of the party leaders
as the logical Democratic nominee. and
Republicans who manipulate and
direct their party's affairs concede that
he would be a hard man to defeat, with
the possible exception of Chancellor Al
exander T. McGill, who is also mentioned
as an ideal candidate. The Republicans
regard him as the most available mar for
the nomination in the Democratic ranks
But Justice Lippincott is not a candi-
date for the nomination. He says he
has no desire to be Governor of New
Jersey at this time, preferring to remain
on the Supreme Court bench, and he
authorizes the World" 70 say that any
mention of his nam in connection with
the Democratic nomination is without his
knowledge or consent.
ST am in no sense a candidate for the
nomination" he said to a reported for
the 'World" who called on him at his
residence in Jersey City, land l cannot
foresee any state of circumstances under
hich I would be willing to become one.
I have no desire to be Governor. My
ambition does not run in that direction.
Even if l were willing to become a candl-
date, l cannot see that I have any claim
to recognition in that respect.
a. t1 on0 nnUy ond nNv0 iUUQU hnpn
averse to having my nam mentioned as
a possible caniidare and have dis
couraged the idea whenever and wher-
ever the opportunity offered. I have seen
mention of it in the newspapers and
have had personal friends discuss the
subject, but 1 do not think it aver has
who nave influence in shaping political
events. If 1t has 1 have no knowledge
of It. n,a, HONOR 70 ,e co,arnor 81
New Jersey, or even to be selected by
ones party as a candidate for the office,
but I am satisfied with my present occu-
patton. and, as I said before, am averse
to having myself considered as a Guber-
Material possibility"
Suppose the convention should nomi-
nate you despite your WISHES to the con-
trary, would you accept?' asked the re-
porter.
A pleasant smile stole over the learned
tation he replied: II do not think I shall
be embarrassed by having the question
whether 1 shall or shall not accept
presented to me by the convention
That is all he would say on the point.
The reporter questioned Justice Lip
pincott with the idea of ascertaining If
he had any preference among the several
ceived this answer
IT wouldn't care to express a prefer
ence. There are a good many good men
talked of, any one of whom would make
an excellent Governor. I do not think
that a man occupying a judicial position
should interfere in matters purely politi-
Judge should have a great deal of hest
tation and d~elicacy in expressing a pref
erence even if he had one."

CHURCH TRUSTEES War
Seeking an Injunction to Re-
strain Paying a Minis
ter's Salary.

Chancellor McGill this morning con-
tinued a rather remarkable injunction
suit. 1t was that of Rev. Benjamin F.
Everitt. Moderator of the Monmouth
P~resbytery. and DR.. Il. i. Ford. elder OF
First Presbyterian Church, Asbrry
Park. against Rev. Howard I. Widdemer
and the officials of the First Church.
Between Pastor rWiddemer and the
Monmouth P~resbytery there has been a
great deal of bitter unchrisrian feeling,
which smouldering for years, has at last
broken out into flame.
Mr.. Widdemer lisa fearless and elo-
auent preacher. and when he came to
the First Church he gave every salts
faction. BY degrees a small CLIQUE
aged to trump up charges against him,
F Epsin msff last Hes saii. De AS the 'H o%pponenfs
pull" the majority in the session of
that Presbytery forbade his occupation
of the pulpit. and also ordered the Off
pay Mr.. Widdemer any more salary.
SCORED THE PREsRyIE hRi a.
terry. were in the majority in the First
Presbyterian Church. AMI promptly
voted at the church meeting TO- allow w
and pay him his salary for. a year pend
ing an appeal to the Synod of New Jer-
sey.
Members of the Presbytery, angered
al such a rebuhe to what they con-
sidered a higher body, took counsel, n
Messrs. Everftt and Ford sought the
powerful aid of the Court of Chancery.
A petition was filed asking that an In
Junction should issue restraining the
pastor from occupying the pulpit and
the trustees from paving out mis- salary
from monies contributed by the congre-
cation.
ADJOURNED BY THE COURT.
The order to show cause why the in
junction should not issue was made
r~eturnable this morning in Jersey City:
Chancellor McGill, at the request of
counsel, continued the order until July
%, when the troubles of the church will
be fully ventilated.
