There is a report circulating to the effect that George K. Clark will be nominated for warden. It is also said that IA. L. Chamberlain, the present warden, who is serving his first term, is not at all anxious Wheth- CT he is renominated or not. One of the present burgesses in discussing the outlook last evening said: "The pres ens board is not taking any part ill the preliminary slate making. I would say, however, as on my individual opinion, that while they have no anxiety in the matter. that they are willing to serve the borough as an evidence of their in terest in it's affairs. Of course you know
 that it is not an office, that of bur gess, that is worth any great strife If the electors want to return the pres ent burgesses, I suppose most of them, and perhaps all, would be willing to serve again. For my own part, that is the way I feel about it. My interest in borough affairs would lead me to ssrve If I was wanted. Otherwise, 1t is not a matter that I should make any strife about So far as [ know, this is the feeling of the borough officers, but of course the caucus is the place to settle the matter"
