purpose of taking immediate action in

Announcement was made today thai
the members-at-large of the Republican
State Committee selected by the cand1-
date for Governor, j. Franklin Fort,
would be former Governor Franklin
Murphy, United States Senate, John
Kean, State Senator Samuel X. Rob-

Murphy will be the State chairman.
At tomorrow meeting of the State
committee the campaign plans will be
considered. The time of the first rea
campaign utterance of the Republican
nominee will be determined and ar
rangements made Tor the candidates
tour through the State.
The refusal of Senator Colby to take
the place as member-at-large of the
State committee was rather shock
to Mr.. Fort, but the reasons that the
Senator Advanced in favor of the ap-
pointment of the Essex County chief
executive did not Indicate that there
was anything but the welfare of the
party in the mind of the New Idea
leader. Sheriff Sommer, Senator Colby

ent harmony existing between the New

lends color to the belief that the candi-
date in his Essex campaign will have
something to the point to say on ex-
else matters. 1t is understood that the
two Colby leaders have had a state

Last night just before the party
broke up at the East Orange Repub-

GIRL Missing;
ABDUCTION
CHARGED
Mother Believes l7-year.Old
Susie Streitman Is With
Hunted Pair.

William Brown and a companion,
whose correct name could not be
learned, are being sought by the police
on complaint of Mrs. Rebecca Streit-
man, a widow, of 143 Spruce street.
Mrs. Streitman accuses Brown and his
friend of abducting her daughter, Susie,
II years old
The girl Is rather pretty and worked
in the General Electric Companv's plant
in Harrison. She left her home as
usual last Saturday morning and told
the head of her department that she
would not report in the future She
left the place, according9to Mrs. Streit-
man, and was seen to board a Broad
street trolley with Brown and his com.
panion. That was the last seen or
heard of her by her mother, who Is
heart broken over her disappearance.
With her married daughter, Mrs
Clara Rosenwauch, of 100 Prince street,
Susie's mother visited the Fourth Pre-
cinct Police station today to report the
case and make complaint. Judge
Herr advised her to defer further action
until tomorrow. In the meantime ths
police will conduct search for the trio.
Six weeks ago Brown, who is a hat
ter, walked into Mrs. Rosenwauch' s
store, at the above address, and bought
box of cigarettes At the time he
asked Mrs. Rosenwauch IL she knew
where he could rent a furnished room.
The woman knew that her mother had
room to spare and she sent Brown to
her mothers home. Brown rented the
room, and from the outset appeared to
be interested in the girl, who is now
missing.
A report reached the Streitmans'
home athat Brown ran away with a
young girl in Chicago and then desert
ed her, and two weeks ago was asked
to vacate by Mrs. Streitman. Since It
became known he met Susie several
times and 1t is alleged he induced her
to leave her home and mother.
The girls mother and relatives have
not the slightest clue which might aid
the police in bringing about the capture
of the missing girl and her companions.
Susie's shopmatas are unable to throw
any light on the subject, and they
claim that she appeared to be satisfied
with her place Pictures of the girl and
a tintype of the young men were given
to the police.

Ten Eyck Gives Oral Opin-
ion Concerning Police
Courts.
ORDERS PRISONERS FREED
Question of Legality Raised
by Their Ceunsel..Judge's De-
cisien After Talk With Prose-
cutor--Net Applicable In
Desertion Cases.

That convictions made in the police
court on Sunday are Illegal ard void
except in cases of desertion, was the
OF al opinion given by Judge Ten Eyck
in the Court of Common Pleas today
after the matter had been discussed
between him and Prosecutor Henry
Young.
Judge Blair, of the Court of Common
Pleas Of Hudson County, decided along
the same line some time ago, but in this
county the question has been mooted
one, and while some of the judges Of
the police courts had habit of direct :
ing convictions while on the bench on
Sunday, others did not see at to do so.
The question was brought to an issue
through George A. Douglass. as counsel
for Susie Wilson, Bessie Williams Nellie
Wilson, Hannah Granville and Frances
White, who were convicted by JudgH
David T. Howell, of the First Criminal
Court, On Sunday, September I. as dis
orderly persons. and sent to the peni-
tentiary for sixty days each.
AS soon as they were convicted-they
are negresses and "indigents" Mr..
Douglass made the point that the
conviction was illegal, because made
to the attention on appeal to Judge
Ten Eyck The commitment was made
under the "Disorderiy Act" of 1898, sec
ton /, referring to disorderly persons,
| and Lawyer Douglass also held that
| the police court had no 1urisdictian
| in the matter because of this bar to
| Sunday proceedings and convictions
under the common law.
John p. Manning. at the time the ap-
peal was made in the upper courts.
represented the city and claimed thas
1t had not been only customary, bur
such convictions were in accordancc
with the law. At the same time the
city authorities that are connected with
the administration of justice In the
police department are satisfied with
this view of the statute and there will
be no further attempt to bother tho I'D
per courts.
When a disorderly person, hereafter,
is arrested on Sunday he or she VIII
not be convicted on that day, but must
either get bail or the case held over
until the next day.
With the decision of the court came
an order for the release of the me-
crosses, and they were soon afterward
discharged from the custody OF the
warden of the penitentiary, after hav-
ing served nearly half their time.
In letter written to the late Nelson
Abeel on the subject and dated March
80, 1901, when he was city attorney,
this view on the Sunday conviction
question is expressed by Judge Blair,
and comedies with that of Judge Ten
Eyck, as expressed today:

MEYER SAYS He
WILL STAY ON
TICKET
Announces Attitude at Meet
ing Of West End Club.
To Have Speech Printed.

At tho meeting of the West End
Democratic Association in their head
quarters, in Jacobs's Hall, last night,
Alderman Julius A Meyer, of the old
Thirteenth Ward, Democratic candidate
for the Assembly, refuted the imputa
ton that he had "butted in the con-
vention and secured the nomination
over Assemblyman John c. Groel. The
meeting was largely attended aud con
siderable enthusiasm was manifested.
Alderman Meyer as president of the
organization, was in the chair. He de-
clared himself emphatically and in
formed his constituents in the ola Thir-
teenth Ward that he was on the As
sembly ticket to stay. He sai1 there
had been a report that the party lead
ers were making an effort to secure his
withdrawal so that Assemblynan Groel
might be placed on the ticket.
1.-THE nomination came to me fairly.
and intend to stick until the last vote
is polled on election day." declared the
candidate with emphasis. my friends
have assured me by letter, over the tel
ephone, and personally that l may de-
pend on their support, and they have
urged ME to stick. and / can tell you
that I intend to do So"
Many OF Alderman Meyers friends at
the meeting last night told him that they
had tailed the votes at the convention,
and their figures showed that the alderman
from the old Thirteenth Ward had been
nominated with a wide margin Of votes
to spare, and expressed some surprise that
his name was announced low on the list.
The alderman, in his address. said that
he had not crowded Assemb1yman GroePs
name from the list. and called attention
to the fact that neither his name or that
Of the Assembyman were on the type
written slips handed out on convention
night adding that each had been COM
PEELED to make a personal fight, and inti-
mated that Groel should have no feeling
in the matter as he had won a fair fight
Continuing, the candidate declared him
self on the excise question. and said that
he believed the stand taken by him in
the Common Council had much to do with
his nomination for the Assembly. With
this in mind, he said he would procure a
stenographic copy of his speech delivered
In thj Council meeting when he introduced
the ordinance providing for an open Sun
day In Newark, which was defeated by a
close vote. The Alderman intends TO have
the speech printed and spread broadcast
all over the county.
The state. county and city Democratic
ticket, as we'll as the platform, were
heartily indorsed by those present
II was decided to hold meetings at the
associations headquarters every Monday
night until election day. and at least one
large rally is being arranged. A committee
has this In charge, and the exact date
will be announced later.

TAMMANY
POLITICIAN
SLUGGED
John ]. DOOley Assaulted
Early Today Near His
New York Home.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-John ]. Doo-
ley. famous local politician and mem
Der of Tammany Hall, who is seeking
the Democratic leadership of the. Twen-
ty-third Assembly District in the pri-
maries today, was assaulted as he was
on his way to his home early this
morning by two unknown persons and
sustained fractured skull and pos
sible internal injuries.
Mr.. Dooley had been at his club,
where the last preparations for the pri-
maries had ben made. His house is
only a short distance away. One of
the men threw brick, which hit, him
on the head.
The attack on Dooley is said to have
been made when he was walking from
the Nawadaha Club, at sos West 156th
street, to his home next door. Dooley
had spent the greater part of the night
assigning his election workers and
started next door to get some election
ballots about o'clock.
Dooley is man of large size and
unusual strength. Following him from
the clubhouse came three of his work.
ers, James Clark, James F. Flynn and
John Miller, all of whom later told
the police they lived at the club.
The police were told that as Dooley
started to enter his door two men
leaped out of the shadow of the house
and attacked him. Whether he was
struck down by rock or blackjack,
the three men behind could not say.
They say they saw their leader stag
ger as the blow descended on him.
Then the two men took to their heels.
Clark followed them west through
156th street, but they outstripped him.
Ryan and Miller carried Dooley into his
own home and then notified the police.
Police Sergeant Murray hurried to
Dooley's house from the West 1921
street station. The door was opened,
but admittance was refused him
you are not needed here" Murray
was told.
Following Murray came Acting Cap
tain Rehahn and Inspector Thompson.
They. too, were refused admission TO
the house, but the information had been
given out that Dooley's head was
crushed, and that he was probably -dy-
ing.
Two men. one of them a policeman.
were hurt in a riotous disturbance IN
West Fifty-seventh street just before
the polls for the Democratic primaries
opened this afternoon. In this district
there is a hot contest for the Tam
many leadership. How the trouble
started is not known, but suddenly a
street-oorner argument developed into
a free-for all fight. Several sho's were
fired, a great crowd gathered, and for
a. time the police were unable to restore
order. The policeman and the othec
injured nan both had bad scalp wounds
and were taken to the hospital.
