about the same in regard to re-elec-
ton. 1t seems to be admitted that
South Jersey will settle the fight.
Assemblymen Fake, of Bergen
county, and Tillman, of Morris coun-

ments, but Assemblyman Perkins, of
Union county, who has also declared
against Dryden, is not talking much
today.
Senator Ackerman, of Union, is
still accounted against Dryden.
Among the leaders here is United
States Senator Kean, of Elizabeth.
His presence is regarded as signifi-
cant as he has been charged with
creating anti-Dryden sentiment III
Union county.
Talk for Governor Stokes contin-
ues. Many believe him to be the log

Among the smaller booms launched
today were one for Congressman
John J. Gardner, of Atlantic county,
and one for former Assistant Post
