NEWARK, Sept. 23: Former
Governor Franklin Murphy is slat-
ed to succeed United States Senator
Frank o. Briggs as chairman of the
republican state committee. Mr..
Murphy and Mr.. Fort have been
friends for many years and as the
candidate has much to say in the
choice of the man to direct the cam
paign Mr.. Murphy will be named and
headquarters will be opened in New
ark at once.
Ie is possible that the selection of
Mr.. Murphy to head the state COM
mittee is an initial move for the cam
paign in 1908, with the assumption
that it may have an important bear
ing on the campaign of 1910, when a
legislature will be chosen which,
among other things. will elect a sue
cessor to United States Senator John
Kean.
That the former governors ambition
to serve the state in the upper branch
of congress has never waned is well
known, and although he refuses to dis
cuss the issue at this time his friends
aver that the Essex leader is ready and
willing to announce his candidacy CO.
incident with the first move the senior
senator or his friends may make in the
direction of attempting to control the
| legislature of 1911.
While that is admittedly looking FAR
ahead. it is a well-known fact that the
campaign of 1910 was frequently re-
ferred to during the contest of last
winter, which resulted in the defeat OF
John F. Dryden and the election of
Frank O. Briggs as his successor in the
United States senate.
Not Sweet stokes.
The name of Governor Edward c.
Stokes as Drydens possible successor
was very much in evidence before the
selection was made, but he had inform
ally committed himself in favor of Dry
den's return, and when those who con-
trolled the situation realized that the
Prudential head could not win they
would not permit the selection to go to
Stokes because it was alleged that the
latter's half-hearted support of Dryden
had much to do with the defeat.
Kean was blamed, too, for like rea-
sons, and there was ne attempt made
to conceal the fact that compliments
might be returned before 1910. What
might be regarded as a first opportun-
ity comes in the selection of a state
chairman and four members large OF
the state committee, to be suggested by
the party candidate for governor, Johr
Franklin Fort.

! had been named as gubernatorial posi-

serve as state chairman. That Office
! would keep the Cumberland statesman
in the limelight for the next three years
and improve his prospects of capturing
Keans place or a second nomination
for governor after the constitutional
interim of three years had passed.
Kean's Status Uncertain.
The desire of Stokes to head the or
ganization will not be gratifed. but he
still has a slight advantage over Kean
politically, being member of the state
committee from Cumberland county
while Kean is only a memberat at-large,

PHYSICIAN ATTACKED
AT >DOOR OF HOUSE.
DR.. Silk Had Been
Called to See
Sick Person.
MAN BEAT HIM.

In answering call to attend a
patient at SO Division street last
night. DR.. Charles Silk was met at
the door by Mike Pollard, the owner
of the house, and assaulted by him.
The sick person lived on the top
floor and was tenant of Follard's.
Without asking any questions of
the physician as to who he was or
why he was there, he again started
to pound him with his fists, when
DR.. Silk started to leave.
DR.. Silk preferred a charge of as
sault and battery against Pollard this
morning. Pollard on being arraign-
ed, said that he had been awakened
from a sound sleep and that he be-
lieved the knocking at the door was
being done by some intoxicated per-
son and that he used the doctor
roughly and tried to keep him out
because he was afraid of his life. He
had had experiences before, he said
where drunken men had come to the
door in the night and attacked him
when he tried to put them off the
veranda. This, however, was held
to be no excuse for his attack last
night without asking questions and
that it was also none of his business
who came to see parties who were
tenants in the house, even if he was
the owner. The recorder at first
said he would put him under bonds
for his appearance before the grand
jury, but DR.. Silk said that he did
not care to have anything more done
except having fine imposed on the
man who was needed at home to
take care of sick wife. 1t was not
in the recorders power to impose a
fine, but he was willing if the man
paid "a voluntary one of S. to let
the matter rest. Pollard, when given
his choice of either paying the fine
or giving bonds for his appearance
before the grand jury, decided to pay
the So. He is sixty-four years old.

ago it was the intention or the railroad
company to have the bridge open all
day on certain days sn the week to
