The Democratic party Of Essex Coun-
ty will probably hold its county and city
conventions Monday and Tuesday nights,
September % and 26. These dates were
suggested and tentatively agreed upon
at the meeting last night of the executive
committee of the county committee, held
at county headquarters, 772 Broad
street. Newark.
It remained for the county committee
to have final say on the selection of the
dates, and action will be taken by that
body at meeting to be called for next
Thursday night. Another meeting of the
executive committee, will be held next
Friday.
There was no trace of fractional differ
ences at the last meeting. Charles F.
Herr presided, and nearly every ward
and municipality in the county was rep
resented. James r. Nugent, who is not
a member either of the executive or
campaign committee, was present and
took part in. the deliberations in his ca
pacity of State Committeeman from Es-
sex. The resolution that had been pre-
pared with the intention of springing
upon the executive committee at the
meeting called for last week, but which
was not held, a movement to. depose
Sheriff William c. Nicoll from the chair
nlanship of the campaign committee and
Mr.. Herr from the executive chairman
ship, did not make its appearance. If
Mr.. Npgent or his friends still intend to
make an effort to depose the officials
named, they probably concluded that the
time and occasion were not propitious.
Some of the committeeman in discus
sing the differences between Nugent and
Nicoll deprecated their injection into par
ty affairs at this time. They held that
whatever disa greements there may have
been were purely of personal nature
and should not be made the basis of a
fight within. the party.
The position taken by Thomas A. Da-
.
Wis, of Orange, in advising the Democrat
ic party to indorse the nomination Of
Everett Colby was not discussed for
mally before the meeting, but there was
much said informally about the matter
1t is said to have been the belief of all
the committeeman who discussed it that
there was nothing in the situation of the
Republican party. or its Senatorial candi-
date that called for or would justify an
Endorsement Of the Colby candidacy by
the Democratic party or its organiza-
tion.
1t is understood that no prospective
candidates for county or city officers
were discussed by name in the meeting.
County Chairman Elvin W. Crane ad-
vised the members to exert themselves
to find several high-class men for the
Senatorship and other places to be voted
for andsto have those names presented
to the convection, leaving the delegates
to vote according to their own judgment
as to who would be the strongest and
most attractive candidate.
He said it was the intention of the
party organization, as far as his in
luence would extend, not to Interfere
with the making of nominations, unless
there should arise danger of undesirable
men succeeding in the convention. He
advised against the preparation of any
thing suggestive Of slate or that
would give an idea that the nominations
were machine made
Several members of the company an
nounceds that they had in mind strong
available candidates for the Assembly
ticket, and for other nominations, but
none OF these were mentioned by name.
