I JERSEY CITY. Sept. 12.-As it is GER
tain that Mayor Faean's supporters VII
control the city convention talk has begun
of the other nominations to be made at il.
It Is understood that the nomination for
Street and Water Board will go to the Hill
section and that Edgar B. Bacon, OF The
Ninth Ward. and James w. Mccarthy, Of
the Seventh Ward. are mentioned as can
didates. Hudson City May get the nomi-
nation for President of the Board of All
dermen. as 1t is believed by many Repub-
leans that the down town section should
be satisfied with the denomination of the
Mayor.
A Gcrman-American candidate would
strengthen the city ticket. and that is why
Hudson City may get this nomination.
CITY Clerk Michael I. Fagen has received
complete returns from all but three ell &C.
ton districts on the Fagan-M Mitchell vote.
With the three districts out the City
Clerks figures are: Pagan, 7,135; Mitchell,
6,3OS; Fagan's majority in The city, S27,
with three districts TO be counted. 1t will
be nearly one thousand majority, as Coun-
ty Clerk Bugasch's district will add one
hundred and the second district Of the
Eleventh Ward will also increase the ma
Jority.
The Jersey City delegation to the State
convention will stand 62 Fagan supporters
and SO Dickinson followers.

hudson County. He has. a delegation from
Bayonne that is neither of Dick

he is said TO control the delegation. Mr.
Garven has displayed independence in the
past, and he was prime mover in the har-
mony conferences that preceded the pri.

CATION and aids the New Idea Republi.
cans the county convention will be lost t.
colonel are after Mayor Garven. He ha,
stated. -
How Hudson will stand in the star,
convention is still a puzzle as the sup
porters of Mayor Faenn in the delegation
from Hudson have declared for no guber
material candidate, although most of then
favor Justice John franklin Fort. Sheriff
Frank n. Sommer. Of Essex, may be givei
a complimentary vote by the Pagan men
but Justice Fort will probably get tn,
votes on a second ballot.
The dickinson delegates are waiting t.
hear from the colonel. Former Justic,
Gilbert Collins has stated that he is not
candidate and the Dickinson politician
who we're using his name as a primar.
stalking horse may turn to Justice Pitney
who has support from Major Carl Lentz
of Essex. Colonel Dickinson and Majo,
Lentz are close friends and neither on
has any use for Fort.
