Committee Waited Upon

and Secure His Influence

BELIEVES IN AN OPEN FIGHT
COMMITTEES OBJECTION IS AL
LEGGED s.PARTy TREASON" BUT
ADMITS Mr.. HEAvEY's PER
soNAL PoPULARITY-MAJoR-
1IY OF DELEGATES FAVOR
HIM.

Democratic Leader Robert Davis was
last night urged by committee of Dem
oerats from the Second Ward to use his
influence at the Democratic City Conven-
tion tonight to prevent the nomination of
Former Sheriff John j. Heavey for
Street and Water Commissioner. The
committees only objection to Mr. Hea-
vey as a nominee is that he ran at the
primaries last fali for the nomination for
Sheriff. The members of the committee
looked upon Mr.. Haavey's action as an
organization man in running against Eg-
bert Seymour, the organizations choice,
as party treason. They admitted Mr..
Heavey's personal popularity. The com
mittee's attention was called to the fact
tha. after Heavey's defeat at the pri-
les he supported his successful opponent,
and that he had rejected overtures made
to him by che Republican organization
to run fer Gheriff as IN Independent can
didete. Ct-se cons s'derations did not sat
ir9yAthe committee. Leader Davis re-
1us~d TO interfere one way or the other.
There seems to be no doubt that Mr..
,Heavey will be one of the men nomin-
ated for Greet and Water Commission
nt tonight's City Convention. A major
ity of the delegates have expressed their
intention of voting for him. Mr.. Heavey
& not seeking the nomination. His first
knowledge that a boom for him had been
sprung by friends organized for the pur-
pose was when he read of it in the New
York "World' last Friday. 1t is be-
heved that many Independent Pcrubli-
seans will be glad TO vote for a man of
Mr.. Heaveys ability and standing. and
It is generally conceded that better and
stronger nomination could not be made.
Leader Davis has been complimented
on nearly all sides for the stand he took
in refusing to interfere. Mr.. Heayey,
when stumping for the Democratic NOM
ination for Sheriff against Egbert Sey-
mour, repeatedly declared that he was
still an organization man, and il defeat
ed atathe primaries he would gladly and
3oyally. support his successful opponent.
He held that any Democrat had right
to get in the race at the primaries. as
that was what primaries were held for.
He kept his promise after defeat, and
threw all of his following and support
over to Mr.. Seymour, who was defeated
for election hby John G. Kaiser Leader
Davis also held beforeIthe primaries that
Mr. Heayey had as much right 10 enter
the primarE race as Mr.. Seymour, or any
other Democrat. The two rival candi-
dates each waged arstrenuous campaign.
For months before the primaries they
vistedsevery public social event ofsRrem-
inence in the County and frequently met.
They always cordially shook each others
hand,sand it was no uncommon sight TO
see both at. "a table with respective
friends discussing the chances of each
securing the nomination, and they usual
II parted with the mutually expressed
sentiment MAY the best man win.

campaign tour which started from the
borders of Greater Few York and end
ed at this little fishing village, far to
the eastward of Long Island, Charles
e. Hughes, the Republican candidate

state campaign He delivered no less
than fifteen speeches In one day in vii
lagos and towns along the south shore
ct the island and was greeted at each
place by considerable gatherings, the
number of hearers varying with the
size Of the place.
Mr.. Hughes made the journey in a
special train Of two ears and an engine
and rode between two of the stations
In the cab of the engine. It was his
first experience In this line, and he de-
elared he thoroughly enjoyed it. The
arduous task set for the candidate has
told upon him somewhat, and when he
spoke here his voice was beginning to
show evidence of the strain.
The tour Is to be practically dupli-
Gated, as when Mr.. Hughes starts back
for New York he win speak at num-
Der of places along the north shore and

sAHK MESSENGER MISSING

]. Fl. Guenther, thirty-two years old.
employed as messenger of the Bergen
and Lafayette Trust Company, whose
bank is located at Monticello avenue and
Brinkcrhoff street, has been missing
since early yesterday afternoon when he
left the Trust Company's building with
$500 for the First National Bank, which
does the clearing FOR the Trust Com
pany's concern. He had been entrusted
with $4,000 in the morning and safely
slivered the money. The police are not
inclined to think that Guenther either
made off with the $500 or that he has
met with fovl play. He is said to be a
periodical drinksr. and after sustaining
for many months will take a few drinks
and lose his head. The bank officials
have the most implicit confidence in him.
Two years ago he failed to deliver a
large amount of money that had been
ssntrusted to his care. He was missing
for several days, but showed up with the
money intact. He has been in the em-
nloy Of the company ever since.
