CHAOS ON
EVE OF DEM.
CONVENTION
CONTINUED from First Page,

son County leaders, Edward F. C.
Young and Robert Davis.
Mr.. Davis and former Senator James
Smith, jr., of this city, were working
tremendously together, it was said,
until last week, when Mr.. Young took
a active part in the shaping of affairs
and insisted on some other than an Es-
sex man getting the place on the head
of the ticket.
"NHe caused the definite announcement
that Hudson would support Katzen-
bach, and brought about the break In
the harmony that had been estab-
lished. Whether this can be healed by
convention time tomorrow is a ques-
ton that cannot be readily answered.
Among Essex Democrats today the
opinion is expressed that the. cardi-
dacy of former Mayor Frank s. Katzen-
bach has suffered a severe setback by
the deals that he Is said 70 IA made
with Hudson County Democrats. If he
should be selected as the candidate 1t
will only be on his revocation of them.
He. cannot get the nomination If the
Essex leaders do not want him to
have it.
Trenton will be the storm centre of
political interest tomorrow, when the
Democratic State convention will meet
at Taylor's Opera House to name the
party candidate for Governor. Poll
ticians. great and small, from Sussex
to Cape May, will begin to gather
there tonight. The delegations from
the remote counties will establish
themselves with headquarters at the
various hotels, and the sun will scarce
have set before the very streets will
begin to mum with political gossip.
BY tomorrow morning the 1000 dele
gates. upon whom will devolve the duty
of selecting the guberpatorial nominee
will have arrived. many of them with
brass band accompaniment, and 1t Is
expected that thousands of others will
be attracted to the city through pure
interest.
The prospects are that before the
contention assemblies Trenton will be
the scene of one of the greatest ~ol-
tical demonstrations in her history.
Victory is in the air, and the Demo-
cratic cohorts will let loose enough en-
thusiasm to make the natives fully ap-
preciate the fact that something out of
the ordinary is happening.
The Mercer County Democratic COM
mittee has arranged. to give the
visiting hosts a royal reception. Two
bands have been engaged by the local
organization, and tomorrow morning
these will head a procession of Mer-
Ger County Democratic clubs, who will
march through the principal streets OF
the city booming former Mayor Frank
S. Katzenbach, jr., Mercer County's
choice for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton.
The one all-absorbing question is:
''Whom will the convention manner"

vEREIN FUND INADEQUATE.

Another effort will be made to col
lect more money for the building fund
of the Newark Turn Verein, which met
with a decided loss last June, when
its home in upper William street was
burned to the ground.
The new building is to cost about
10000, but up to date the entire con-
tr1butions received from societies and
individuals is only 81, 1880. To this,
however, will be added nearly $500,
the net receipts from the recent benefit
festival given under the auspices of
the United Singers of Newark, and be-
sides that several subscription books
have yet to be heard from. AS a result
of this showing those interested in the
organization will devise ways and
means to secure their new home as
soon as possible.

offered to go back with her mistress to
the ~latter's home and prove to sher that
the boa was where she had left it. She
did so and 1t was found in a closet. The
shirt has not as yet been found.
After recovering the boa Mrs. Boek-
