Murphy headquarters in the green
room. Senator Briggs was soon fol-
lowed by Governor Fort, United
States Senator John Kean, Colonel
William Barbour and others.
The delegation held its regular
caucus at 1890 o'clock this morning
at its headquarters, when Senator
Kean was elected chairman. Mr..
Murphy's name will be placed in
nomination by former Attorney Cen
eral Thomas N. McCarter. Other
matters to be attended to during the
caucus include the election of a
member to the national committee
and the election OF members of the
Jersey delegation to the various con-
vention committees.
Fort for Murphy.
II am enthusiastically supporting
former Governor Franklin Murphy
for the vice presidential nomination"
was the statement made last night
by Governor ]. Franklin Fort in re-
sponse to the inquiries of a large
number of newspaper men. Our
delegation Is a harmonious unit for
Governor Murphy, and we confident
ly look forward to his nomination by
the convention"
Governor Fort said he had too re-
Gently arrived to make any formal
statement of the strength of the Muir
ply vote in the convention, but heI
declared he had found the situation
so far as he had been able to size up
far more satisfactory to Mr. Murphy
than he had anticipated.
Alfred N. Dalrymple, chairman of
10 49,,
mittee, is the active man in the New
Jersey delegation, and by reason of
his extended acquaintance with men
of national prominence, from his long
experience in Washington, is able to
size up the situation remarkably
well. Last night he issued the fol-
lowing signed statement In behalf of
the Murphy boom for vice president:
Il do not hesitate to say that when
the roll is called, after all the candi-
dates have been placed in nomination
that Governor Murphy will have
more than 800 votes. This is based
upon the actual bona fide pledges of
more than 800 delegates who will
have seats in the convention. Aside
from these delegates, on whom we
count to place Mr.. Murphy far in the
lead upon the second ballot, we full
ly anticipate that in a number of
states where certain vice presiden-l
tial candidates are expected to re-
ceive support we win get surpris-
ing number of votes
I'm the eastern states especially
the Murphy sentiment has been
growing very rapidly during the
present week. Business men have
made their wishes known to the dele
gates themselves. This is true
throughout New England, New York
state, Pennsylvania and some of the
more southern Atlantic states, and
as the various delegates have been
arriving here in Chicago we have
been in hourly receipt OF reports
from them, which makes certain
arge number of votes we had not
counted upon"

last night when the baccalaureate
sermon, on I. The True Test of Life, -
was delivered by Rev. DR.. George G.
Wflding to the high school class of
1908. The class occupied seats in
the centre neaE.the front.
DR.. Wilding spoke of life's journey
and of its great mystery He devot-
ed much OF hts talk upon the descrip-
tion Of "a true philanthropist. He
opened with telling of the knowledge
of some of the younger generation,
who profess to Know 1t all.
Deeds little thought of rebound, .
said the speaker, and many a per-
son is hurt and weakened by an act
once done to harm some other per-
SON" AS an instance he repeated
The man or woman who takes to
laziness is bound to become severely
crippled, injured or affected in some
way. The world estimates her peo-
pie" The pastor told of great men
who are humble. He gave an in
stance of a. wealthy man living in
Chicago who left his millions to his
heirs and not cent to public charity
or education. The man, after he
died, was so--"roasted' by the Chi
cago daily papers that his heirs
would have given a million dollars
had it not been started.
DR.. Wilding said that the world is
fair and man who is understood is
appreciated. He claimed that a real
philanthropist loves his nation. He
stated that this is truly the age Of
woman. He said the ferries to New
Vn,~Ix or.n E1Ind NTH al IN
ated for some business office.
In. further telling of the making Of
a true philanthropist, the minister
said that such a one helps his fellow
men. Intellectual training, he claim
ed, does much, and character is es-
sential for a real man. People who
win,' he said, have the backbone
and the sand in their system" He
told of the demofalizing effects of in
assistance by those who
have Intentions of doing good, but
who give to people who might be
better off If they earned It,. The
pastor said this kind of giving is the
making and foundation for paupers
and criminals,
The pastor concluded his sermon
by stating that the intellectual teach
Ings on earth will be of great benefit.
He said they are greater than all
physical and educational training to
prepare us for the great beyond.

MYSTERY SURROUNDS
ABSENCE OF FOREMAN
Frank Nance Left PoIkoWitz's Stable
Yesterday Afternoon With His Own
Horse and Buggy.

A rumor was in circulation, this
morning, that Frank Nance, of
Broad street. foreman of Polkowitz
Brothers stable on New Brunswick
avenue, had been killed last night by
a train near Elizabeth. The police
were notified but an effort to con-
firm the story was unsuccessful.
The foundation for the report
seems to be the fact that Nance, who
went out driving at o'clock yester-
day afternoon, has not as yet return
ed. Mrs. Nance, the missing man 8
wife, went to the stable this morn
ing and asked If her husband was

there, stating that he had not been
home all night.
In conversation with NEWS man
Mr.. Polkowitz said that Nance had
been foreman of his stable for over
three years and owned the horse and
buggy. The proprietors of the stable
said that they had heard that he had
been killed last night, but were un-
able to confirm the rumor.
Mrs. Nance has grave fears for
her husbands safety and every effort
is being made to learn his where
abouts. 1t is thought possible that
he spent the night with friends, and
may arrive home by tonight.

The reason why the woman should
have attempted to take her own life
is not known. Neighbors say that
she had been despondent of late.
She is of middle age.
She chose a part of the dock near
where there were no boats, so that
when an attempt was made to rescue
her boat would have to be brought.
Several Bee line barges were tied up
at the north end. Had no vessels
been there at the time, the attempt
would in all probability have proved
successful, as the dock is a long dis
tance from where any men work.
