MAY LEAVE
THE POLICE
FOR SALOON.
Detective Sergeant Huff Said TO
be Trying to Get License For
Post Office Building.

At one of the coming meetings of
the excise board it is understood that
Detective-Sergeant John Huff will put
in an application for a permit to keep
A saloon and cafe in the Nelson build
ing at Smith and State streets, and
New Brunswick avenue. This build
ing is now occupied by the post Of
flee.
When the post Office moves into
the new government building the
present building will be vacant and
HUFF is after a license for the place
but it is said that two of the mem
hers of the board, if not more, are
against the granting Of a permit for
q saloon there as rumor has 1t that
other saIoonkeepers already in that
vicinity are opposed to any more
liquor houses t~hereabouts. When
the detective was asked about the
matter he would not. deny the re
port at first and minated that
he would take the license if he could
get it, but he refused to discuss it
further.
The report has it that Huff will re-
sign within a month Or so if he thinks
he can get a license. AS Il result. a
number of candidates have already
come forward looking for his place
and some of them are not now on the
police force. Report has it that Pa
trolman Lawrence Long and George
Kozusko are both after the place.
Patrolman William McDermott is
also in line. He has been on the po-
lice force longer than any other pa
trolman and, for some time, has had
the principal beat in the city, that of
Smith and State streets. When Huff
has been called away or is absent
from duty McDermott is the man who
is detailed to do this work and he has
never as yet fallen down in a case.

SAY CLOSE WILL WIN.
F followers of Shrievalty Fight Declare C.
Asa Francis Will Be DethrOned.

FREEHOLD, Jan. 19:-After an
enforced absence of three days, oW-
ing to his sitting in the murder trial
of Eleaser Harris at Toms River, JUS
tice Charles r. Hendrickson will sit
with the county board of elections
here today to pass upon the protest
ed ballots in the Close-Francis shrieV-
atty contest. When adjournment was
taken until today Justice Hendrick-
son said he hoped to be able to give
the recount of the ballots his undi-
vided attention until the matter was
settled, if possible.
Counsel officially connected with
the case differ widely in their opin-
ions as to the ultimate outcome of the
fight. Counsel for Mr.. Francis claim
his final election by Il majority of
from 20 to 40, while Mr.. Closes
counsel say he will win by a major
ity of from 20 to SIS. Those who
have followed the contest closely
say they figure Mr.. Close to win by a
safe majority.
They had, they declare, figured Mr..
Close to suffer a greater loss in How
ell township than he actually did,
and his slight losses there will only
make his majority larger, when the
recount is finished, than they had eX-
pected. They further assert that they
expect Mr.. Close to lose some votes
in the next four or five districts 10
be investigated but declare that Mr..
Close will make such substantial
gains in MiddlcseX, Shrewsbury,
Ocean, Wall, Raritan and Neptuns,
not to speak of the small gains in
several other districts that Mr.. Fran
els majority will be overcome.
