ROCK
The subject was discussed at the last
nights meeting of the Hudson City Busi-
ness Men and it was stated that the Rail-
road Company had agreed to lay asphalt
between its tracks, but that the asphalt
company which has the contract with the
city to asphalt the other portion Of the
thoroughfare, wanted to charge the rail-
road company twenty-five cents per
square yard more than the city is paying.
The railway company refuses to pay the
price and the asphalt company refuses to
do the job for less money.

TRIED TO BLOCK ERWIN.
Armstrong Tells the Minks
the G. 0. P. Opposed It's
Candidate.

AT a meeting of the Minkakwa Republi-
can Club a general discussion of the
causes of the recent defeat of the Repuo-
lican party resulted in William Armstrong
being .called down hard" by Michael
Schultz. Jr The subject was opened by
Edward S. Brown, the defeated Republic
can Assembly candidate, who said the main
cause of defeat was the apathy in the
party. He said that while the majority OF
Republicans are church members, they
rarely interest themselves In good gov
ernment.
Mr.. Armstrong then forcefully stated
that the defeat was due to the poor lea
dership and party dissensions. de SAID
that since the election he has become
convinced that the party leaders had MADE
determined efforts to block Erwin's noml-
nation. Mr. Armstrong said that while
acting on the Committee on Credentials In
the County COMMITTEE, a report was re-
ceived of the result of primary held IN
West Hoboken. There was q hot fight Tor
the honor of being delegate to the Coun-
tv Convention. Seventy-four ballots were
supposed to have been cast. but the count
showed thirty-eight for ex-Freeholder
Eichhorn and thirty-seven for his oppo-
neQE making a lOhht u eSf SAAts - =
more than the ballots cast. Instead OF al
lowing each man one-half Of a vote, the
committee decided in favor of Eichhorn'
who was opposed to Erwin. Mr.. Arm
strong said that he did not realize the con-
dition of affairs at the time but ne mas
since arrived at the conclusion that lne
committees decision was unfair.
Michael Schultz, Of the Republican
County Committee, took up the cudgels in
Mr.. Woolley's behalf. He said that while
Woolley was at first opposed to Erwin,
the moment Erwin was nominated WOOL
lev took off his coat and hustled for Err
WINS election Mr.. Schultz added that
defeat was due to the little interest dis
played by Republicans in general. He then
asked Mr.. Armstrong if ne had worked FOR
the success of the party. Mr.. Armstrong
was forced to admit that the only work
he did was to cast a Republican ballot.
Previous to the impromptu scrap, the

money, as he was AFRAID of losing it. Ross
consented and taking s21O out of his own
pocket, he put it in a handkerchief held
by pne OF the Italians. A rell of paper
covered with a 81 bill, was also put in
the handkerchief by the stranger, who
proceeded to tie the ends together. The

bitterly over the loss Of the money, as
it was all they had in the world. The
two men were going to Italy 70 bring

The SMITH KIDNAPPING.
Kenneth's Mother Was Miss
Lizzie FreIigh of
This City.

The New York papers this morning
print stories of the kidnapping of Ken
meth Mckinley Smith. son of Mr.. and
Mrs Jasper p. Smith. The story is of
some local interest because Mrs. Smith
was a Jersey City girl. She separated
from her husband, Jasper P. Smith, who
is well known in the lower section of this
city. Before her marriage she was Miss
Elizabeth Freligh. AT the age of fifteen
she married Smith, who was at that time
press agent for the Herald Square Thea
tire. He is now bartender. Miss Freiigh
before her marriage was with a burlesque
company A couple of months ago she
again took up that work. Her sister,
Clara Freligh, was at the Bon Ton Thea
tre this season. The sisters gained con-
siderable notoriety in this city a couple of
years ago by riding a diamond frame
tandem, dressed in tight fitting black
knickerbockers.
The story told of the kidnapping is that
when Mrs. Smith went on the stage she
left her four year old son Kenneth in
charge of Mrs. Maria Snow the wife of
her uncle. who lived at No. 227 Forty-frst
street, New York City. Both Mrs. Snow
and Kenneth Smith disappeared last FRI
day, and they have not been seen since.
Mrs. Smith thinks her husband kidnapped
the child and that Mrs. Snow is spending
her time in an attempt to regain possess
sion of the boy.
Jasper Smith says he has no knowledge
of the whereabouts of the child. and says
that his wife is working an advertising
scheme SO that her name may prove a
greater drawing card for the shows in
which she appears.
The continued absence of Mrs. Snow
from her home is, however, considered an
argument against this theory Captain
Snow has searched increasingly for his
wife ever since her disappearance.

The County Board of Elections sitting
as a Board of Canvassers in the Circuit
Court room, yesterday afternoon, COM
pleted the canvass of the vote cast a week
ago today. The work was not completed
until after seven o'clock. As will be seen
by the subjoined figures the result sub
stimulates the figures printed In Ihe
News" extra the morning after election.
John Gschwind, for Coroner, leads the
Democratic ticket, and John q. Fasner'
for County Clerk, heads the Republican
column. Many bets were made on the
relative vote of Ruempler and Clarke,
and the result is somewhat curious Inc
determination depends upon the woroing
of the BETS Those who wagered thas
Clarke would receive more votes than
Ruempler won, while those who bet that
Ruempler would receive larger plurality
than Clarke also win. Clarke received
l2S more votes than Ruempler, but his
plurality over Basse is 50 votes less than
Ruempler's over Erwin
The Socialist, Independent Labor and
Prohibition candidates were scarcely In
the hunt; in fact, they did not receive
a SUFFICIENT number of votes to produce
even a moral effect upon the community
Geo. p. Herreschaft, the Socialist candi-
date for Sheriff, received 1,O1S votes in the
entire county. Daniel F. Dwyer. the In
dependent Labor candidate, received SAT
votes and Kelly Hester, the Prohibition
candidate. received 313. The other candi-
dates of these freak politicians received
about the same number OF votes as the
heads of their respective tickets.
Allan Benny leads the Democratic AS
sembly column. Next come in the order
named Tenant, Albeit Murphy, Carroll.
