TOO BUSY
TO EXAMINE.
Judge Blair Can't Hear
Applicants for Natur-
alization.
ONLY EIGHT DAYS MORE
And There Are Fifteen Hun
dred Men Who Want
to Vote.
ONLY EIGHT DAYS MORE

Although about 1900 applications for
cred, with only eight court days before
the commencement of the prohfbitory per-
iod remaining, Judge Blair announced
this morning that there would be no ses-
sion of the Naturalization Bureau owing
to the heavy calendar in the General Ses-
sons Court.
There were in the court room at the
time about twenty-five would-be citizens
attracted by the published announcement
that examinations would be conducted
every court day hereafter until October 6.
Many of them had made repeated trips to
the Court House in the hope of being CIV
en- an opportunity to be examined and
naturally all were much disappointed at
the announcement.
The news of their presence was COM
municated to Judge Blair and he directed
Sergeant-at-Arms Mitchell to conduct
preliminary examination of such appli-
cants as were present.
Deputy Sheriff Frank Hague, who had
been requested by City Collector Robert
Davis to be present in the interest of the
Democratic party during the examinations
assisted the Sergeant-at-Arms in question
ing applicants. OF the 25 examined up to
1890 today all but four proved their eligi-
bility and will receive their final papers.
On account of the current rumors that
Sergeant-at-Arms Mitchell had asked un-
fair questions of applicants who were be-
lieved to be of Democratic proclivities,
Judge Blair had informed City Collector
Davis that he would be pleased to have
a Democratic representative present at
the examinations. Accordingly Deputy
Sheriff Hague was assigned to this work
and remained in Judge Blair's Office dur
ing the entire session of the naturalization
bureau yesterday afternoon.
About fifty applicants in all were ex-
amined and of this number thirty-five
were granted final papers. The others
were told to come again when they were
better prepared to answer the questions.
AT the request of Judge Blair, Mr.. Hague
and Adolph Lankering, of Hoboken, who
was present during a portion of the term,
questioned some of the applicants whom
the Court thought ineligible
Judge Blair assisted many who, he
thought, had sufficient knowledge to en-
title them to become citizens but lacked
the power of expressing their knowledge.
In the case of a Hoboken German, Mr..
Lankering was requested to ask some
questions. He did SO and the candidate
proved that he had sufficient knowledge
of the country to entitle him to citizen
Ship. He was passed
An Italian who wore a Mckinley but
ton, probably thinking from what he had
heard that it would act as a substitute
for a knowledge of the country to which
he desired toswear allegiance, was re-
jected. Another son of Italy also wear
ing Republican button, was caught
reading answers issued by the court.
Judge Blair told him to study them up
and come again for examination.
An applicant was turned over to Deputy
Sheriff Hague for examination proved
that he had not the slightest knowledge
of the country and was rejected.

test fo T committeeman was between
Leonard Spitznagle and George W. Prigge
IN the Eighth Precinct. Spitznagle Won
The other committeemen elected were:-
Michael McNeill, First Precinct; George
Brener, Fifth Precinct; Theodore
Schuetzenbach, Sixth Precinct; Edward
Brut on. Seventh Precinct. The hold
over are:-Thomas wyberlic. Second Pre-
cinct; James S. Nolan, Third Precinct; A.
f. Bahr, Fourth Precinct.
The workers for both contestants were
on the jump all evening going around
and routing out voters and bringing them
to the polls. A crowd of about seventy
five men hung around in front of the
polls all evening and occasionally there
was slight argument, but no blows were
struck.
The polls We're closed at nine o'clock to
the minute and the count was begun. The
whole crowd from outside crowded into
the room to listen to the result. The store
in which the voting was done is rather old
and the floor sank about three inches at
one time, giving the people quite scare.
Some one explained that there was not
much room between the ground and floor
so there was no danger. AS the count pro-
gressed it seemed that all of Welch's
friends had come in last as the tally
stood forty-five to fifteen in Welch's
favor at one time, but the Daily tickets
had been voted early and were in the
bottom of the box and were consequently
counted last. When the Daily tickets
were read off each one was greeted with
a cheer and when the score was tied the
excitement was intense. First DAILY and
then a Welch ticket would come out of the
box and the last ballot decided the prim-
ary in favor of Frank DAILY by one vote.
The totals on the tally sheet showed 54 for
Daily and So for Welch, which John Welch
the inspector of the primary, said there
were only 1o3 ballots in the box. Pande-
monium reigned for a few minutes until
Sergeant McDevftt and two officers clear
ed the place of everybody but the primary
board and contestants 1t was finally de-
cided to take the ballot box to the Sew
enth Ward Democratic Club and have
Executive Committeeman Michael |.
Fagen decide what was to be done. Th
primary board, followed by large
crowd, marched up Ocean avenue to the
clubhouse with the ballotbox guarded by
one of each faction. The ballot box was
found to contain 107 ballots, which tailed
with the sheet, so Daily was conceded the
nomination The primary board was COM
posed of S. Fletcher, Judge; John Welch,
Inspector; Joseph Kelly and w. Crawford,
clerks.
A warm contest was also expected In
the Fifth precinct but everything ran
along smoothly and resulted in Edward
Whalen receiving 9S votes against Julius
Breternitz with 49,

BLEW OUT THE GAS
Old Fashioned Incident at
One Of the Hoboken
Primaries.

Hoboken primaries are invariably at
tended by one or two exciting incidents.
Two fights were slated for last night,
both of which were between contestants
for membership of the County Commit
tee. In one of these the factional diff
ferences were intense. This was in the
Fifth District of the Fourth Ward, where
Henry ]. Snyder, son of ex3Councilman
Harry Snyder attempted to defeat Com
mitteeman Patrick j. Caulfeld The
primary was held in a rear room of
saloon at the southeast corner of Grove
and Newark streets. Adherents of each
candidate focked into the place and
anxiously awaited the result
1t was agreed by both factions that
there would be trouble and that each
would give the other square deal, but
the agreement was not lived up to. A
few minutes before the voting stopped
some one in the rear of the saloon blew
out gas light and putting his breath
into the pipe, put out every light in the
place. The crowd yelled and made a
rush for the rear room. Three policemen
rushed in and used their clubs vigorously.
When the gas was relighted, scarcely
a minute later, the Snyder faction had
run off with the ballot box and all of
the ballots, with the exception of hand
full which Committeeman Caulfeld grab
bed in the darkness. Caulfield said that
in the handful he got there were three
votes for himself to every one for Sny-
der. Snyder's followers carried the re-
mainder of the votes to a saloon across
the street and announced that they had
counted ITS for their candidate and 125
for Snyder. Each candidate is determined
to fight the matter out.
There was some opposition in the First
district of the Fourth ward Between
James Clark and Jerry Kennedy. Ken
nedy won by vote of about to l.

DOG Who is A POLICEMAN
His Owner Objects to Paying
License.

The Hoboken Board of Health began
few days ago to collect the delinquent dog
taxes in the city. Sixty summonses were
issued for the delinquent dog owners to
appear before the Recorder and explain
why they had not paid the licenses Of
these all but sixteen either paid or agreed
to pay within certain time.
The others appeared before Acting Re-
corder James Laverty this morning.
When John Klepping of Marshall street,
was asked why he did not pay he replied
that his dog performed the duties Of po-
liceman.
HE watches my property" said Klep-
ping, ssjust the same as a policeman
would do, and don't see why he should
be taxed"
1t was suggested in the court room that
a police badge be tied on the dog instead
of a tag, but the Recorder could not be
convinced that the dog was worthy of
the distinction. klepping finally agreed
to pay the license.
Others excuses were offered by the de-
linquents but all promised to settle within
a day or two.
