ACTING upon the advice of his physl-
clans. Senator Dyrden formally with
drew from the candidacy for United
States Senator on Monday. The mat
ter was presented to the Republican
conference called for that purpose by
Senator Frelinghuysen, and the fol-
lowing telegram was ordered sent to
Senator Dryden
In conference assembled tonight at
fine capitol. the men. berS Of New Jer-
sey Legislature unanimously express
their sincere regret for your unfofu-
nate illness, and the earnest nope OF
each one is expressed for your lmmed-
late and thorough recovery.
THOMAS J. HILLERY,
Conference Chairman.
Senator Dryden sent lengthy COM
munication TO the Republican caucus
at Tlenton in which he stated that SO
far as he could learn no charges had
been made against him personally or
officially, but the opposition was based
upon his connection with the Pruden-
tial Insurance Company. He defended
his connection with this organization
and claimed that the investigation
would show its beneficial character.
He further stated that he had not
been connected with the Public Ser
vice Corporation for years, and has re-
ceived no returns from his investment
in it's stock AS to the bribery charges
he continues: "This election occurred
five years ago. During those five years,
so far as | can ascertain, these atlantis
never suggested the existence of the
alleged fact to which they now give
the widest publicity. They waited to
tell their story until the only lips that
can deny it have been closed by deaUh.
Even now they do not dare to insinu-
ate or to assert that it was even
claimed by the man whom they as
sert approached them that he was au-
thorized to do so by me oEtby any Of
my friends. The extent of their story,
if it is to be believed at all, is only
that they we're approached by-a man
whom they described as lobbyist for
the purpose of ascertaining whether
they were willing to sell their votes,
and, if so, at what price. Upon anal
ysis this story becomes wanton and
malicious absurdity, so far as it is
soughJ to be connected with me or my
friends"
