ROW OYER THE HOBOKEN PRIMARIES

The McEwan and Dickinson factions
had their usual monkey and parrot ses-
sion at last nights meeting of the Repup-
lican County Committee at the Avenue
House, Jersey City Heights. Freebooter
Stuhr designated McEwan ''self-styled
distinguished Congressman and Con-
gressional nonentity," and the Congress-
man retaliated by designating the Free
holder as 1.-The little whipper, Stuhr
while incidentally Stuhr openly accused
the Congressman of deliberate falsehood.
These little pleasantries were started
when the Executive Committee reported
concurrence in the action taken by the
Fifth Ward Committee of Hoboken at the
recent primaries. McEwan moved that
the committee reject the action of the Ex-
ecutive Committee.
Mr.. Strauss, a member of the commit
tee, amended that the action be approved,
and McEwan, who only desired the floor,
accepted the amendment.
The Congressman paid glowing tribute
to the late ex-Judge Seymour and said
that he had brought up and opposed the
very matter that the Executive Commit
tee had no right to go beyond the ward
lines in any city ''And when they do"
he declared, "they are going against the
cardinal principles of the Republican par
ty and against the Republican County
Committee.
ST submit" he continued, "that it is
high time for Republicans in and out or
office to forget all factional lines. our
aims should be to increase the number OF
voters in our ranks and to increase the
number of men holding office under the
Ren11hlican party in every city, town or
