REGULARS SAID TO
FAVOR NEW MAN IN
SHR|EVALTY FIGHT
Rivalry Between Present Can
didates Might Cause Too
Much Bitterness.
WILSON AND BUDD ARE
NOW BROUGHT FORWARD
Dalrymple Will Put Burden of
Deciding on Candidate Oh
Executive Committee.

AS the result of inability on the part
of candidates for the Regular Repub-
ncan support at the primaries to agree
among themselves on which of them
should get the organization backing for
the nomination for sheriff at the pri-
marfes, a couple of new candidates have
appeared in the field today and we'll
posted party men say that one of them
will probably and the plum at the next
conference of the Regulars In the ex-
ecutive committee to be held Friday
afternoon.
Names of new aspirants for the place
include those of former Assemblyman
Samuel F. Wilson and former Free
holder Ira Budd, with the chances in
favor of the former.
1t is argued that If support be given
by the executive committee to any of
the old candidates, the others of them
will feel ~"sore," and that to eliminate
the possibility of such a feeling it
would be best to give the place to a new
man.
Whether County Chairman Alfred n.
Dalrymple and his friends in the execu-
tive committee will agree to this plan
remains to be a~scertained.
Like the first conference between the
Republicans who are candidates for
party nomination for sheriff at the
primaries on September %, the second one
held yesterday afternoon at the county
committee rooms was without result,
and following it all the men who had
been In the conference announced that
they would stay in the ace to the last.
AS thew did NOT oQrpa QrnnnO than
selves as to who should stand, it will
be up to the Regular members of the
executive committee to decide whom
they will support at the primaries
against the New Idea candidate.
The men at yesterdays conference
were City Treasurer Albert T. Guenther,
former Assemblyman Ralph Schmidt,
former Board of Works Commissioner
Carl v. Baumann, former County Ply
sician William H. Mckenzie, former
County Supervisor David H. johnson
and former Freebooter Frank F. Smith.
The name of Board of Works Commits
sioner Arthur H. Denman was with
drawn at his insistent request by
County Chairman Alfred N. Dalrymple,
who called the conference.
Since the previous conference all the
candidates have had talks with their
hackers, n all of them said that they
have been urged to stay in the race.
Dalrymple Says He Won't Decide.
County Chairman Alfred N. Dalrym-
pie told the candidates that he would
absolutely refuse to make any decision
himself, because he did not desire to
assume the role of a boss and that he
would put the matter up to the Regu-
lar members Of the executive committee
to make h decision whom they should
support. He again recalled the fact
that II the Regulars expected to win
at the primaries they would have to
be unified in their action. The New
Idea men,. lie said, are waiting to see
what the Regulars are going to do.
If the Regulars should remain divided
the New Idea people will unite on a
single opponent and might possibly be
able to land the nomination, thus bar
ring out all six of the Regular candi-
dates. 1t would thus be better, he
said. for the Regulars to settle among
themselves which one should run
Thus, one of them would be assured
of success as against the probability of
all being shut out otherwise.
