JERSEY CITY, Nov. 11.---That there
will be no recount in the Governorship
was announced this afternoon by Chair
man Robert $. Hudspeth, of the Demo-
cratic State committee.
Chairman Hudspeth said that they
would accept the inevitable.
With Frank S. Katzenbach in attend
ance, the Democratic State Committee
this morning went into conference be-
hind closed doors to consider the ad-
visibility of asking the courts for re-
count of the vote cast for Governor
last Tuesday.
City Counsel James R. Nugent, Of
Essex. who made the charge of treach-
cry in Hudson County, did not reach
the meeting when 1t began.
Members of the committee at the con-
ference were Willard w. Cutler, of
Morristown; Samuel Iredell, of Cum
berland; William II. Davis, of Cam
den; Louis j. Braun. of Passaic; Will
lam K. Deveraux, of Asbury Park;
Daniel A. Dugan, of East Orange. and
Peter Weden, of Jersey City.
While the State committee was in
conference the entire executive COM
mittee of the Hudson County Demo-
| cratic Committee from Jersey City and
members from other parts of Hudson
County arrived. These men came to
the meeting they said, to prove that
there was no treachery in Hudson
County.
Patrick r. Griffin. whose ticket
headed by George H. Steel for Mayor
won in Hoboken, was in attendance.
He was introduced to Mr.. Katzenbach
by James Hennessy, chairman of the
Hudson County Democratic Commit
tee. A charge had been made that the
State ticket was sacrificed in Ho-
boken.
"This man." said Mr.. Hennessey,
will vouch that the State ticket was
supported in Hoboken."
''You havn't heard me say the contrary"
said Mr.. Katzenbach.
When the members of the Hudson execu-
tive committee reached the State commit
tees rooms they sent in a message asking
for a hearing. The State committee prom
ised a hearing as soon as the executive
session ended.
With him Mr.. Heniessey brought the fig
ures Of Hudson County for the vote last
Tuesday. This vote was for Governor,
State Senator and Assembly.
According to these figures Mr.. Katzen-
bach got 23.022 votes in Jersey City, and
james F. Fielder, living In Jersey CITY,
got 24.152 votes for the Senatorship.
1t was remarked that this is but diff
ference of 1,130 votes in Jersey City.
Tumulty, high man on the Assembly ticket,
polled 24,325 votes in Jersey City, where he
lives. This Is but 1,213 more votes than
the vote for Katzenbach,
In the county, from the figures. Katzen-
bach polled 4O066 votes, us against Al, ,162
votes for Fielder, a difference of but 1,096
in the county. Tumulty's vote was Al, ,625.
or but 1,559 votes more than Katzenbach.
These figures show, according to Mr..
Hennessy, that in Jersey City and in Hud-
son County Katzenbach got the full Demo-
cratic support, running but little behind
men known personally in the county.
When the Jersey City part of the execu-
tive committee gets before the State com
mittee 1t is claimed that they will sup
port the claim that Katzenbach got the
full Democratic vote In that city. II. Otto
Wittpenn, they will claim, ran far ahead of
his ticket because Republicans voted
for him for local reasons, but did not
support the Democratic ticket.
In the interval that the State committee
was in session rumors flew thick and fast
In the outer rooms, and one was that IL
there was a recount 1t would depend on
what Davis of Camden said.
