WOHLLEDEN'S
SUCCESSOR
Aspirants to the Vacant
captaincy Keep the
Wires Red Hot In
Their Anxiety
to Win.
WHO THESE CANDIDATES. ARE
Wiseaeres Say Roundsman
James Kelly of Central
Avenue Station Is
Backed By the
Mayor.
WHO THESE CANDIDATES. ARE


The question as to who will succeed
the late Charles Wohlleben as a police
captain is an absorbing one, not only
in police but in political circles general
ly. The best of the wiseacres declare
their inability to pick the winner and
none of them will hazard definite
guess. There are more than half
dozen prominent aspirants who, with
their friends, are energetically pulling
both overhead and Isubterranean wires.
Among these are Sergeant "Jeff'' Har-
rington, day desk sergeant at Police
Headquarters, who has for some time
been slated for promotion; Detective
John Gloss, who is in charge of Police
Headquarters from 5 p. m. until mid
night; Sergeant Thomas Finnie, of the
Gregory street station; Sergeant Booth,
of the Seventh street station; Sergeant
Schober, of the Central avenue station;
and Roundsman James Kelly, of the
Central avenue station.
There are few of the wiseacres who
will give you a significant wink at the
mention of Kelly's name as much as to
say they would prefer his chances. He
is said to have Mayor Fagan.s backing
He lives in the Mayors ward. 1t is
said that he claims he ought to have the
privilege of filing the vacancy. Should
Kelly get the appointment there will
be three Captain Kellys. Colonel Dick
inson is said to be backing Finnie and
General Wanser is said to be pushing
Booth forward.
But the leaders all say themselves
that while they may have their individ-
ual preferences they are keeping their
hands off, As to the Police Commits
sioners who have the appointing power,
President Mitchell has announced that
he favors the appointment or promotion
of Sergeant Harrington, although rumor
has it that he has been notified that he
is not likely to be reappointed Commits
sioner. Commissioner Tilden is credited
with having no particular choice, but
there are some who assert that he
favors Harrington. If this is true Har-
rington will have the necessary two
votes, provided President Mitchell stands
pat and Commissioners Tilden votes for
his favorite.

TRENTON, April 1S, 1904.-Through
his speech before the Democratic state
convention last Thursday Richard v.
Lindabury has greatly increased his pop
ularity, if the reports from the outlying
districts are to be credited. From nearly
every corner of the state comes the wish
that he might be made the Democratic
nominee for governor this fall and the
leaders are not loath to urge him to ac-
cept it when the time comes.
It is equally an assured fact that he
has expressed himself as unwilling to
take the nomination should it be rendered
to him. for personal reason, though it is
said by those closely associated with him
that if he was assured that it was the
unanimous choice of the people he could
be persuaded to accept.
"We will enroll now for the campaign
of 19O4,'' said he. under banners bear
ing the true principles of Democracy and
with equal taxation for our slogan we
will march to victory such as no man
here can remember
This is the ringing paragraph OF nus
speech that caught his hearers last week
and which has caught the voters through
out the state.
He would have the support Of the Es-
sex delegation and likewise of Hudson
While he would not discuss the question
of gubernatorial candidates Robert DAVIS
the Hudson County leader has expressed
wish that Mr. Lindabury be the candi-
date and incidentally that the candidate
world not come from Hudson County.
This would seem to leave Charles Il.
Black out of it for this fall, and IN the
face of Mr.. Lindabury's refusal to stand
the only other man mentioned who is well
kown in South Jersey, as well as in the
upper sections of the state is Senator
Ferrell.
Some Of the leaders argue that the can
didate should come frem the lower sec
<tion Of the state in order to insure sue
cess and E. G. Stokes's defeat.
Among all the party leaders there still
fingers the hope that Grover Cleveland
may be induced to run in the event
of his refusal and the party should gain
a footing in the Legislature this fan then
movement will be started to boom Mr..
Cleveland for United States Senator to
succeed Senator Kean.
Senator Barber of Warren is response
Bile for the Inauguration of the Cleveland
boom for Senator. Senator Barber says
that he belieys that the party can win
this fall on any good clean Democrat and
will control the legislature on joint ballot.
In reference to the candidate for the
presidency, Senator Barber said he fay
ored Judge Parker Judge Gray or John
Sharpe William and he believed that any
one of them could defeat President
Roosevelt easily.
