" AS IT A CONSPIRACY? ?
Hoboken's Democratic Commit
tee lneensed at the Absence
Of Primary Returns.

When the Hoboken City Committee met
last night to canvass the vote of Thurs
days primary for Mayor and Council
men, they found that Secretary Thomas
S. Fields. an opponent of Mayor Pagan,
the nominee, who had all the votes in
his possession, was not present, and the
committee could do nothing. A telegram,
where his father was very low was
read as an excuse for his Absence but
some of the committeeman were sus-
picious and deputed a committee to ascer-
tain If Mr.. Fields was in town.
They visited his wife who was sur
prised to learn that her father was s1very
low At was news to her. She thought
that her husband had gone down to the
committee. In the meantime Mayor
Pagan had been sent for and he de-
nounced the whole thing as a fake mes
sage. Inquiries at the Western Union
telegraph office corroborated the Mayors
statement. No telegram had been re-
ceived or delivered by them. The COM
mittee elected temporary officers Mr..
Alexander c. Young was chairman and
MFR. Frank La Pointe secretary The
committee then adjourned until tonight.
Secretary Fields was seen this morning
and he said that after receiving the tele-
gram ne went to Trenton; but before
doing SO he gave the returns to Chairman
Haggerty of the Executive Committee.
Mr.. Haggerty says that he only received
the returns this morning.
The committee is indignant at what
they think was a trick to doctor, the
returns. Since the law is stringent about
the return Of the returns Mr. Fields may
have to face q very disagreeable charge
