affairs and preparing for his Resumption
OF official duties on the Supreme Couri
circuit, Justice J.. Franklin Fort, who may
be nominated by the Regular Republicans
for Governor. declined today to discuss any
further the political situation when seen
at his HON in Arlington avenue north,
East Orange.
Il do not wish to say anything more
than / said to you yesterday" he said.
"The EVENING STAR published my COM
plete statement last night and l expect
from now on to busy myself preparing for
my official duties"
Have you anything further to say con-
corning Alden Freeman's attacks?' asked
the reporter.
II Will look that matter up and may say
something later. but 1 have nothing to ado
at this time"
The Judge was given a warm welcome
by his %neighbors and friends in East Or
ange where the noted jurist Is a warm
~favortte and enjoys the highest respect
from any political leaders, the justice
stated. and he was happy In anticipating

ton of his studies OF law points. The

made the subject of interesting newspa-
per stories in Boston, and one of the even
ing papers there snapped the gubernatorial
candidate with a camera and printed an
extended story about a group of Re
publican leaders who gathered at the
wharf and rendered Justice Fort the nomi-
nation for Governor Of that State" The
newspapers also had a little side infor-
nation given by the jurist when he
found the New Jersey newspaper men,
who had taken down what the candidate
had to say, and that was not a great
DEAL" to the effect that the justice was
not going to dispose of the tender of the
nomination off-hand. but would give the
matter serious consideration, AS a matter
OF fact there were no politicians present
to greet the returning travellers, and, of
course. he has not been nominated.
