HOBOKEN'S MAYOR
Republicans Are Unable 70
Find a Sacrifoial
Victim.
EITHER STUHR OR FAGAN
Democrats Have a Sure Thing
Of It-Last Nights
Primaries.

Republican primaries for the election OF
delegates to the City and Ward Conven-
lions were held in Hoboken last even
ing and, true to expectations, proved to
be tame events. Indications of contests
were few prior to last evening and those
that did materiaiize lacked sufficient
strength to make anything approaching
a keen impression.
This was all the more remarkable in
view of the peculiar situation Hoboken
Republicans are confronted with in the
approaching campaign. That in the new
City Convention there are delegates who
are opposed to the party organization is
well known. Interesting developments
| are expected.
So far no Republican of standing in
Hoboken has consented to accept his
party's nomination for the Mayoralty
/ chair. A few have Joined the Stuhr fac
ton. These are trying to get the Re
publican nomination also for Stuhr. That
the organization will consent to such a
move is not credited by the knowing ones.
1t is conceded that the Mayoralty con-
test has dwindled down to Pagan and
Stuhr and that no Republican candidate
expects election. This becomes evident
by the refusal of a single Republican of
weight to bunk up against the split
ticket proposition.
The situation as 1T now stands, is a
peculiar one. A lamb to be sacrificed
cannot be found. Whether or not there
will be any regular Republican candidate
in the Mayorality race no one at present
is able to tell. That an endorsement on
nomination of some kind will awe to be
effected is of course assured. What it
will be is keeping everyone guessing.
