Gently purchased by them at the sale

Regulars Lead the New Idea
Men by But 10 Per. Cent, in
This City.
SHOWS THE SENTIMENT
The Total Figures Bring Out the
Fact That the Republican Vote in
This City Is Nearly Equally Divid-
cd - Twenty More Votes Would
Have Given Fordycc Twelve, and
the 'Machinc" Ten Delegates.

The vote in the Fordyce fight in
this city was remarkably close. The
machine" candidates for delegates
to the republican county convention
received 767 votes, while the Fordyce
candidates received 624, only 113
less. Thus the number of delegates
which Fordyce got out of this city
is much less than it would be if it
were in the same proportion as the
total Fordyce vote is to the total
machine" vote.
With twenty more votes, thirteen
in the first poll of the first ward, and
seven in the first poll of the third
ward, Fordyce would have had a ma
iority of the delegates from this city
to the county convention tomorrow,
when the candidate for state senator
from MiddleseX county will be nam
ed.
AS it is, of the twenty-five dele
gates from this city, eight of those
pledged to Col. Fordyce were elected,
the ring" getting fourteen. With
twenty more votes, as above explain
ed, Fordyce would have had twelve
delegates from this city and the
ring" but ten. Similar conditions
existed in various places throughout
the county.
The above figures are significant
as they show the strength of the
anti-boss sentiment, far greater than
| Theodore Strong or any of his lieu
tenants acknowledge. Almost half OF
the republican voters who went to the
primaries here voted for Fordyce del
egates, the standard bearers of the
new idea, as the machine" dele
/ gates received but So per cent. of the
total vote for delegates to the county
convention tomorrow, when twenty
four of the los delegates go to New
Brunswick pledged to vote for For
dyce.

Two of the new one-end trolley
cars are now running through this
city, and more are expected to be put
into service in few weeks. While
these cars are only run from one end
and have the seats in half of the car

from the trolleys that are now being

Mr.. Hearst was nominated early this
morning after prolonged and exclt-
ing session. His nomination was Il
triumph for Charles II. Murphy, who
held ninety-four votes together as if
they were shaclled.
George Raines of Rochester in a
most extraordinary speech probably
the most notable one he ever delivered

"Alr Hearsts platform is the edi-
torials of his journals"
These the speaker denounced as ali
archstic, socialistic and communistic,
and he said if the Democratic party
took Hearst for governor it would
have to take his editorials as well.
At midnight Mr. Raines was thun-
dering against Hearst. From all
around the hall came yells of rage
and defiance.
The committee on contested seats
threw out about fifty delegates.
Many of the Hearst delegates in the
convention would not listen to the
speakers when they were hostile to

HOUSE STORY
Alleged Theatrical Man Said to
be Looking for a Site for a
Theatre Here.

The New York theatrical man that
visited this city yesterday, made a
tour of the town and examined a
number of locations. This agent,
like a number of others who have
said they do things, in conversation
with a NEWS reporter, yesterday,
said he would really build a theatre
here if he could find suitable loca-
ton. 1t is known that number of
real estate firms were visited by the
man, including Boynton Brothers and
II. o. Bishop What the nature of
his conversation with these firms
was could not be learned, but il is
understood that it was about proba-
Bile sites. The properties at Smith
and Maple street, the vacant property
on King street next to the Eagle Ath-
letic Club house, the Hallahan estate
at Madison avenue and Smith street
and the Kant corner at Smith and
State streets, were all carefully ex-
amined by the supposed manager,
accompanied by a NEWS reporter.
81 would build a temporary thea
tre on the Kant property if / could
secure lease on it for five years" "
said he, land after that time would
buy the land il it could be secured .
Nothing may ever be heard of the
prospective theatre builder, but from
his own remarks, it would seem that
he meant business. The manager
said yesterday that he had heard in
New York that the Won Tilzer Theat-
rical Company was to build theatre
here He said he had heard this
from good authority. and had an idea
that is was true. 1t is possible that
