TIE FIGAT IS ON.
Battle for supremacy in
Hob0ken Politics Is
Now On.
C0YLE'S CHALLENGE TO PAGAN
Two Of the Mayors Followers
Kicked Out Of the Democratic
City Committee.

Fourteen out of the twenty members OF
the Hoboken Democratic City Committee
were present last night at its meeting in
Coyle,s Hall. Boulevard Superintendent
NJ. j. Coyle presided and announced the
following committees
Observation-Disclosures Gretten, Gustave
Buck, Joseph Clark, Patrick O'Toole and
Frank LIE Pointe.
P~rinting-Jonn Haggerty, Richard Pur-
cell, Anthony Capelli, Andrew Hopper
and William F. Schaefer.
AS one of the committees express it,
Those committees were not appointed IN
the interest of Mayor Pagan or of his
friends"
The administration members had hard
ly recovered from their surprise at the
names announced when the committee
on rules reported a resolution that was
passed unanimously. 1t was to the Ell
feet that no policeman or fireman could
be a member of the City Committee.
This resolution is directly in line with
the rule in the police manual that no
policeman shall belong to any political
organization. The resolution was aim
ed directly at Committeeman Arthur
Phalen and Philip J. Gerhardt, who have
recently been appointed policemen by
Mayor Pagan. Both have been request
ed to resign from the committee but de-
clined to do so.
Upon the passage of the resolution Pha-
len moved to amend by striking out the
enacting clause. This was defeated and
then Phalen and Gerhardt were kicked
out by a vote CT 10 to 4, two of h mi
nority votes being those of Gerhardt and
Phalen themselves. The Democratic
County Committee will be asked to con-
cur in this action.
The committee is now distinctly anti
Pagan for the first time in many years,
and last nights action is construed as a
direct challenge to the Mayor from Coyle,
who now has the upper hand in Hoboken
politics.
AS it is there is some doubt as to the
| legality of the appointment OF the two
men ITO the police force, as many lawyers
hold that the charter limit to the police
| force is now exceeded by three, and that
the only way in which the law can be
obeyed is by breaking or pensioning
| some of the older members of the force.

DOG FIGHT RAIDED
1t Was Going on in the
Private Stables of the
Stevens Family.
cOAcHMAN AND ENGINEER NABBED
@
Six Men in All Arrested by the
5. ?. 9. A. officers After
a Scramble.

President George Mccarthy and five
uniformed officers of the S. P. c. A. raided
a dog fight last night, that was in pro-
gress in the stables of the Stevens estate,
Castle Point, Hoboken. Six of those pres
ent We're arrested and upon being brought
before Justice of the Peace Seymour de-
clared themselves to be William Robin
son, private coachman to Colonel E. A.
Stevens; Henry Tangemann, engineer at
Castle Point; Joseph Hoffeman, 27S Four
teenth street, Jersey City; Edward Logan,
249 Twelfth street, Jersey City, and John
Brown, 315 Grand street, Jersey City.
Each was fined $40. Robinson and Tango
mann paid up and the others were COM
mitted.
Several days ago President Mccarthy
received a tip from a confidential source
that such a fight was to be pulled off
last night, and he at once made prepara-
items for a raid. For fear of any slip up,
The local police were not taken into his
confidence. and about nine O'Clock last
night Mccarthy and his men arrived OPP
posite the Eighth street entrance to the
estate. They walked cautiously up the
wide roadway and when near the stable
could hear the snorting of the dogscand
tilC CAC4lCd SSio u IA J0OiiStiAt SPCSloH
tors. The fight was at its height, and the
dogs were chewing and managing each
other with vicious assiduity when the S.
P. G. y. men broke in the door. The
spectators We're paralyzed and for a sec
ond or two moi d man moved after Presi-
dent Mccarthy announced that all pres
ent must consider themselves under ar
rest.
The crowd soon recovered its senses,
however, and all made a grand scramble
20 escape through the windows and a rear
door. In the excitement Joseph Heffer-
nan was hit on the head with a club, and
sustained a scalp wound. One ratified
officer fired two shots in the air from his
| revolver, with no other effect than to
make every one redouble his efforts to
escape.
When arraigned before the Justice 1t
was brought out that the dogs were
owned, or at least fought, by Robinson
and Heffeman. 1t is said that the real
and primary effect of the raid was to
capture Barney Farrell and Jim"
Hanna, two well known sports who have
an action pending against the society.
One of the Stevens family is a breeder
of bull dogs, but he is not in this coun-
try at present, and it is certain that none
of the family either knew of or connived
at the fight. Robinson will ose his posi-
ton.
h Hoboken police feel hurt and slight
sd over being ifnored in the raid. and
fail to appreciate MeCarthy's reasons for
keeping them in the dark,
