NEW YORK BRYAN RECEPTION
COMMITTEE DENIED THAT 1T
HAD ARRANGED WITH FOR
MER SENATOR SMITH FOR A
RECEPTION IN NEWARK.

Considerable prominence has been
given in the Newark and New York
papers to great Newark reception plan
ned by Former United States Senator
James Smith for William Jennings
Bryan in connection with that TO be ac-
corded the distinguished Nebraskan at
the Madison Square Garden, in New
York, on Mr. Bryan's return from his
trip abroad. 1t is hardly likely that Mr..
Bryan will go to Newark for want of
time But he viii positively be given a
great ovation in Jersey City. He has by
letter promised Robert Davis. Hudson's
Democratic leader, that he will visit this
municipality. He does not forget the
loyalty of Hudson Gounty's Democracy
to his cause in the last Presidential cleo
tion.
AT recent meeting of the Democratic
County Committee a resolution was pass
ed to the effect that the details of the
reception to Mr.. Bryan be left in the
hands of one hundred prominent Demo-
cratic citizens. 1t was announced yes
terday that the Committee of One Hun
dred would be announced today. This
committee will meet at the Davis Asso-
ming and discuss plans for the reception.
1t was somewhat of surprise to those
interested in the local reception to read
that Former United States Senator
Smith had planned reception for Mr..
Bryan on the afternoon of the day fixed,
OF at least anticipated by the Democrats
of this County, for his reception here.
Counsellor John A. DENIM, represent
ing the Democratic County organization,
attended the meeting of the New York
Bryan Reception Committee, held Thurs
day in the Hotel Victoria, New York
He says he inquired of the committee if
the published statement TO the effect that
Former Senator Smith had arranged
with the New York reception committee
for a reception to Bryan on the same day
he was scheduled to be entertained in
this city. He says he was informed that
the committee knew of no such arrange
ment; that the only arrangement so far
as New Jersey is concerned was for a
reception in Jersey City
1T looks to me-. said Mr.. DENIM
that Senator Smith tumbled in when he
found that the Democratic organization
had planned to entertain Mr. Bryan, and
went over to New York and endeavored
10 arrange 10 have Mr.. Bryan in Newark
on the afternoon, the evening of which
had been fixed as the date of the recep-
tion TO be accorded him in this city. So
far as / know the committee did not deal
with Mr.. Smith, but merely referred him
to Mr. Davis.
