man Nugent is busy completing arrange

mand for tickets for the outing that the

include everything.
1t is expected that Democrats OF proml-
nence from every county in the State, Will
attend the outing. Chairman Nugent SAID
today that the proposed demonstration
will be held in the interest OF the Demo-
cratic party and not for or against the
interest of any individual, Gubernatorial
aspirant or otherwise. The tickets are on
public sale, ana every Democrat will be
cordially welcome, regardless OF his per-
sonal preference for Governor, provided

Conspicuous among those who have not

Inquiry among the members of the COM
mittee in charge of the affair failed 10
reveal a reason for this apparent over
sight but it is expected that the Mayor
will be made q guest, IL not of the County
Committee. at least of one of the mem
hers of the party organization 1t is
understood. too, that former Senator
Smith is not included in the list of in
vited guests, but Mr. Smith is expected
tn he one of the party on the day OF the
outing at Avon.
Another matter of present interest is the
movement of which Judge George II.
Lambert and Colonel e. L. Price are
credited with being at the head. This is
the proposed organization tonight OF an
organization of Newark Democrats IA
vorable to the nomination of Mayor Sey-
mour for Governor.
The organization will be effected at a
meeting to be held at No. 772 Bread
street, the call for which was signed by
more than a hundred more or less prom
inent party men.
The ORGANIZERS of the movement, ac-
cording to the public statement, fear
that plans are being laid by certain MEM
bers of the County Democratic Committee
to defeat what they claim to be the wishes
of a very large majority of the Demo-
critic voters who favor Mr.. Seymour's
nomination, possibly by unfair means at
the primaries.
The plan of the organizers is to form
a powerful body of party men to man
the polls at the coming primaries and
strive for fairly conducted elections. The
promoters look for a big attendance, and
expect to accomplish profitable results.
Italian Democrats of the Fifteenth ward
have called meeting to be held tonight
in Cicenias Hall, Clifton avenue and
Drift street, for the purpose of organic
ing a Seymour club. The promoters of
the movement are Arthur Naddei, Diego
Spinelli and James Cicenia.
THE italian Democrats of the Fifteenth
ward are enthusiastically in favor of the
nomination of the Mayor for Governor"
said Mr.. Naddei, one of the promoters.
1--WE propose to do our share to secure
the election of delegates in his interests"
