 Newark, N J., November i.---Eventually ineffective, but temporarily successful, was the attempt made tonight 10 rout monster democratic meeting at the Essex Troop armory. where Judge Parker was the principal speaker.
 The great building which ias capacity of about two-thirds that of Mcdisen Square Garden. was completely filled. Several times at the mention of tke ad- ministration and the name of President Roosevelt hundreds broke forth with ter rife cheers and for several minutes it appeared as though the democrats were in the minority
 The scene that followed was one of un- imaginable confusion Misses and cheers avene mingled Words of anger and threats were heard. and the police were powerless to control the crowd Finally the democrats by sheer cree Of numbers and their greater volume of sound drowned out their adversaries. Che dis turbance occurred before Judge Parker reached the hall. The meeting was called to order at o'clock. It was under the auspices of the Parker Constitution club of New Jersey and Richard N .-indabury was introduced as the presiding officer. He began his speech devoted to national issues, but had not fairly started .e- fore 1t became evident that there were q number of republicans in the building. MT. Lindabury referred o the alleged usurpation of power by the executive ln the Panama republic incident, whh ap- peared to be the signal for the outbreak.
 Instantly Locked in Combat.
 In an instant the representatives of the two parties were locked in a combat Of hoots and misses, handclapping and cheers. Mir. Lindabury appeared to be taken by surprise, and he repeated the reference to Panama, again mentioning the name of President Roosevelt which was cheered louder than eVer By this time the democrats in the audience were ready to meet the attack. which they did with hisses for the Interruptions and cheers for the democratic candidate.
 In defiance of the attempt to rout him. MT. Lindabury abandoned the speech he had prepared for the occasion and talked directly at the disturbers. He seemed to relish the contest, and by $50 when the band leading the Parker procession was heard to approach the armory, he had elfectually silenced those who had cheered for the republican party.
 When Judge Parker finally reached the platform he was given an ovation equal in intensity to that at Madison Square Garden last night. Throughout his speech he was accorded marked attention.
 Met With Resoundine Welcome.
 Judge Parker's invasion of New Jersey to make in the present campaign the first speech he has delivered outside of his native state was met with a resound- ing welcome.
