FOR HARMONY
REPUBLICAN FACTIONS IN
ORANGE MAY JOIN.
Riker for Governor Apparently Has
Most Following-Ward Contests
Are Important.

Plans for the coming New Idea cam
paign in Orange will be formulated at a
meeting of the Orange committee OF the
Republican League for Limited Franchises
and Equal Taxation. which has been called
August 10 at the headquarters OF the
Mckinley and Roosevelt Club, Orange.
The political pot has begun to boil there,
and with the portentious change that Is to
take place In the political situation in the
city this fall the political leaders are
anxiously awaiting the CONVEYING Of the
powers that be.
Harmony in the Republican party in Or
ange will likely be the program and there
is little Likelihood Of any divisions in the
ranks this year, the leaders of the party
claim. The political leaders are hopeful
troll of the Common Council and reestab-
lfsh control of the Board of Education.
The gubernatorial situation seems 70 be n
little uncertain. although 1T is confidently
that a solid delegation for
Chandler w. Riker will be sent to the
county convention. Sheriff Frank II. SOM
especial strong following in the city, and
with William Riker, jr.. who Is a resi-
dent Of the city and still leader or the
party there, on the alert to safeguard ms
Brothers interests, there seems little ike
Iihood at the present time OF any OUT
side candidate getting on the inside track.
The sentiment at the present time seems
70 be for Auten Colgate as an Assembly
nominee, although any good man in the
party who Will command confidence may
the nomination by securing a SUI
ncient number of delegates from the mag
Assembly district.
Prominent members of the New Idea
faction do not hesitate to admit that har-
mony will be the keynote Of the cam
paigfl. 1t is recognized by the Republicans
that any split will cost another Democratic
while some of the least optimistic
seem to feel that the Democrats will re-
peat their victory of last year despite any
plans that may be brought forward.

forth to do battle for the honors, and few
II any names were brought forward to fill
the offices that are to be vacated this
and 1t is not expected that there will
be much doing in that line until after the
session next week.

SUMMIT MAN "ABDUCTS"
A NEW YORK HEIRESS.
Man Employed on Farm Of H. Mckay
Twombly Carries Off Girl in
Green Automobile.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Four bold modern
knights In a green automobile awaiting
daybreak yesterday to carry off Miss Agnes
McMullen, 10 years old, living with her
mother, Mrs. Jane Roxbury, in Simna Hall,
sos West 122d street, caused excitement In
the neighborhood and also gave the police
a lot of trouble for a time. They succeeded
in carrying off the young woman right in
front of the eyes of her mother, put Miss
McMullen was more than anxious to go
with them, for one Of those in the machine
was Tim Dervin. supposedly a wealthy
young man, but who works for a living as
hand on the farm of II. NICK. Twombly
in Summit, N. j.
So willing was Miss McMulIen to be
abducted that when she saw the automo-
bile standing a block from her home she
discarded the h~igh-heeled French slippers
she was wearing so she could run faster.
In her stocking feet she vaulted q low
fence, crossed a lot and reached the ma
chine before her mother recovered from
her surprise. Mrs. Roxbury cried for the
police and several workmen and two fire.
men ran to the machine to rescue the young
woman. They were told, however. it was
not an abduction, but an elopement, and
they loyalty cheered the loving couple on
their way.
Miss McMullen n Dervin met In Sum-
NIT several months ago and fell In love
with eacn otner. Altnough the young man
worked as a farm hand, he associated with
the sons of rich parents and there appeared
to be a good deal of mystery about him.
Mrs. Roxbury, who is separated from her
second husband, did not encourage the at
~tentions which her daughter was receiving
from the farm hand" She thought her
girl could find some one more suitable as a
husband and would not permit him to enter
the house.
In spite of the opposition of the mother
the girl and the 'hand' met frequently In
this city. Miss McMullen and her sister are
Joint heirs Of an estate of $4,000 left by

NO FALL ELECTION
At Least Not for Local Offices in South
Orange Village This Year-over
Till Next Spring.

South Orange Village will be the only
municipality in the State that will not
hold a local election this fall because OF
the result of a recent special election,
which changed the date to April, OF next
year. Village Clerk NJ. A. Fitzsimmons
notified County Clerk Arthur Horton TO
this effect yesterday. when be replied to
a letter from the county clerk, which
asked for the names of offices which are
to be filled at the fall election.
In the reply he called attention to the
local special election held last spring, the
figures OF which are on file in the county
office. But for that election the reply TO
Mr.. Horizons letter would have been that
the terms Of three Village Trustees ex-
pired. Those of Rowland D.. Perrine, Ran
dolph Rodman and William T. Baird. A
provision of the law under which the
election was held extended the terms OF
the three trustees from January 1, 1908, TO
NAV. 1908.
