LABOR MEMS
CONVENTION.
Delegates at BridgetOn Split Over
the Election of President
Fraud Claimed.
SOME LEAVE THE HALL.

BRIDGETON, Aug. 80 The second
days session of the New Jersey State
Federation of Labor was replete with
excitement yesterday, and for a time there
was every possibility of the meeting
breaking up in a row.
The Disturbance arose over the election
of president, some of the delegates con
tending that the election had been cal
ried on unjustly. Their contentious, how
ever, failed to meet with the approval of
the chairman Of the convention, and as d
result the complaining Ones, headed by
President John A. Moffett, of the United
Hatters of America, left the hall in a
body, with the express purpose as they
declared, of holding a convention of their
own elsewhere this afternoon.
When the convention opened this morn
ing Vice.President Gurden r. Levak, Of
Millville, was in the chair. There were a
few minor matters adjusted by the dele
gates and then the chairman announced
that the convention would go into execu-
tive session and elect officers Tellers
were appointed and it was learned that
there were 119 ballots to be cast. When
the call for nomination was mad but two
names were placed before the convention
Cornelius Ford of Hoboken, the past
president, and George Wambold, of
Bridgeton.
The first ballot showing that 1879 votes
had been cast, of W hich number Ford was
accredited with having sixty-three and
Wambold filty-nine. Chairman Levak i'm
mediately proclaimed Ford the re elected
president.
At this President Moffett arose and de-
clared that the election had been carried
\Qn fraudulently, and that another ballot
should be taken. In this he was sup
ported by several other delegates. The
chairman, however, refused to listen to
the complaint, and declared the election
valid.
Moffett is then said to have rose to his
feet and in a loud tone declared that those
in the room who were with him in his OBJ.
ieatieH-should leave the hall. He pro-
Id e%ioquently that something was
wrong with the election, and he desired
all the matters and his friends to stand by
him. All the Moffett's organization,
with the exception of Secretary Thomas
]. Mead, of the Essex Trades Council, left
the convention amid the utmost excite
ment.
After Moffett and his associates had
departed they gathered in a small hall
neal the convention chamber, and it was
there that the president of the matters an.
nounced his intention of holding a separ-
ate convention late this afte or to-.
night.
The more conservative element of the
federation are opposed to Moffett, and the
outbreak of to-day has been threatened
for some time. Some of the conservative
representatives say that the represent
atives of the American Federation of La
Dor were present at the meeting, and
that things will run along as in times
past,
Moffett's allegation that there were but
119 ballots polled and 1919 counted is met
with scorn by his opponents. There were
in the neighborhood of $50 delegates pres
