Committee Appointed.

JERSEY CITY, Sept. 2S.-Frank S.
Katzenbach will be the next Governor
of New Jersey--that is, If all that the
members of the Democratic State-Com-
mittee told Chairman Robert S. Huds-
peth today is true. 1t was the occasion
of the first meeting of the committee,
and there was full attendance. The
reports of the representatives OF the diff
ferent sections were of the most rosy
hue. On paper there is nothing to 1t
but that Katzenbach will win in Il
walk.
Chairman Hudspeth never turned 4
hair. He listened attentively to all
that was said, and after the last COM
mitteeman had made his report the
astute chairman suggested that while
everything looked easy for the party s
standard bearer it wouldn't be a bad
idea If every member of the committee
did little hustling. ABE" Naar
tapped Chairman Hudspeth on the back
and told him the suggestion was a good
one.
About the best news that reached
Democratic headquarters was that for
mer Senator James Smith, jr., was
heart and soul In the campaign, and
that he had expressed the belief that
Candidate Katzenbach would be
elected. James r. Nugent, Essex Coun-
tvs member of the committee, was the
bearer Of this gratifying bit of informa-
tion.
At the conclusion of the meeting
Chairman Hudspeth said:
"I have never before seen so much
Democratic enthusiasm. Reports from
every county give assurances of victory
for Mr. Katzenbach. Men who have
never before taken an active part in
campaign work have proffered their
services, and every day such offers are
being received. The Democrats are or
ganized in every county in the State,
and we are in shape for vigorous
campaign from Sussex to Cape May"
Mr.. Hudspeth announced that among
the prominent men he had secured
promises from to speak in this State
are: Congressman w. b. Cochran,
Congressman C. B. Towne, ex-United
States Senator Falkner, of Virginia;
Congressman Handy, Of Maryland,
and District Attorney Jerome, Lewis
Nixon and ex-Comptroller Bird s.
Coler, of New York.
A flying automobile trip is planned
for Mr. Katzenbach through the State,
beginning with the southern tier Of
counties and working northward into
Essex and Hudson, and thence wester-
ly into Sussex and Warren counties. 1t
is planned that Mr.. Katzenbaeh shall
speak in Freehold at the Monmouth
County convention Monday afternoon.
On Tuesday he will attend the Sus-
sex County Democratic convention at
Newton, and spend the rest of the day
in a tour of that county. Wednesday
and Thursday will be devoted to the
Interstate Fair at Trenton, and on Fri
day evening the Young Mems Auxiliary
of the State committee will receive him
at a massmeeting in Grand View Hall,
Ogden avenue and Franklin street, Jer-
sey City. at which John j. Voorhees,
will preside. The candidate will be at
Plainf1eld on the following Saturday.
At conference between Chairman
Hudspeth and Job H. Lippincott, chair
man of the auxiliary committee, this
executive committee of the auxiliary
committee was appointed: The officers,
ex-officio- William Hughes. of Pater-
son; Joseph T. Hague. of Elizabeth; !;

of the auxiliary committee is pro-
crossing favorably and some one of the
