In Hudson county the Regular Re-

did also in Passaic, with the possible
exception of one New Idea man, who
sought one of the five Assembly nomi-
nations. In Morris county the Regular
Republicans carried everything, except
county clerk "Uncle Sam Voorhees,

Union the Regulars also won. DR..

In Mercer county Philip Freuden-

more votes than his hree opponents
combined. Freudenmacher was strongly
opposed by the church element because
of his connection with Trenton brew

ROTHERHAMITES WIN
In HUDSON COUNTY
Especial to the Evening star.l

JERSEY CITY, Sept. 23.-The Roth
Granite ante-election boast was not in
vain. The faction won by a fair ma
lority.
They won in the downtown Demo
cratic districts, which are dominated by
their candidate for sheriff, especially
among the floating lodging house deni-
zens of the First district, where Con-
nelly got $40 votes to only 43 for Nc
Carthy, and in the overwhelmingly
Democratic Shoe which gave him
592 to 70 for Mccarthy.
In the Republican residential wards
on the Heights another story was told.
Mccarthy carrying five of the six wards
there, and Record. the New Idea cam
didate for Congress, capturing a ma
iority of the delegates to the congress
sioriai convention.
Taking the county as whole,
Rotterdam claimed at 4 a. m. today
only $500 majority for his man Con-
molly. of which 1,006 came from Ho-
boken and 1,400 from Bayonne, where
Prosecutor of the Pleas Garven is

This is the vote in Jersey City for
sheriff:

the vote stood in Newark: Raymond,
12,623; Colby, 9,2S9. In the county out
side of Newark fifty-seven out of sew
enty-one districts gave Colby Its;
Raymond, 1929. Raymond won the
city districts in at that time by 1884
and lost the county districts by 3.i44,
giving Colby sixty plurality in ALL
The Assembly candidates ran almost
neck and neck with the Senatorial as
prants, and it's pretty certain that
Colby and a majority of the New Idea
slate will be the party nominees.
Charles J. Bauerle, of the imaginary
district comprising the Fifth, Tenth
and Twelfth wards, was not bracketed
with the rest of the New Idea men and
ne ran behind, It's quite probable that
if his Colbyte colleagues have won by
small margin, the Regular candidate
with the largest vote will beat him.
AS had been anticipated for weeks,
Assemblyman William Fellowes Nor
gan, of Short Hills, won out, over
whelming his nearest competitor in the
field of nine. Samuel F. Wilson was
second and Ralph b. Schmidt ran third,
with c. Valentine Baumann fourth.
City Treasurer Albert T. Guenther and
W
Mckenzie polled a good vote.
At l o'clock this morning a weary
election officer wandered into the City
Hall carrying a Republican ballot-box
used in the fourth district of the Fourth
ward 1t was the first report from the
primary election that had ended At .
/ o'clock last night. AT noon today there
were thirty districts still to be heard
from on the Republican side and q
| number of Democratic boxes had not
been turned In. Never in tha history
of local politics has there been q condi.
| tion that equals that of today.
Chaos reigned at Regular and New
Idea Republican headquarters through
out the night and the figures at both
places are far out of the way. Just be-
fore II o'clock today Chairman Alfred
n. Dalrymple, who had carried on the
| campaign for Thomas L. Raymond for
senator and the other Regulars, made
| this claim on the figures reported by
workers at headquarters:
The Assembly fight corresponds with
the battle for the Senatorshp and Is
very close between the New Idea or

ASSEMBLY FIGHT
OF REPUBLICANS
IS VERY CLOSE
Regulars Have Slight Lead with
Some 0 Districts
Missing.

Very little effort was made to learn
the outcome of the Republican contest
for Assembly nominations, With most
OF the districts in il was apparent that
Colby ran ahead of the NeNw Idea
slate for Assembly. With a score of
districts to hear from the vote for AS
semblyman Austin Colgate. who headed
the New Idea ticket, poled S,723, and
Assemblyman Henry Young, jr., who
headed the Regular slate, 12,705. In the
county outside of Newark Colgate re-
ceived 7.712 and Young 3,9S9. That
would give the Regular slate a lead of
260. The missing districts in the county
and city will probably be 10 the advan-
tage of the New Idea. SO Colby will
probably have his friends on the ticket
with him.
Assemblymen John +, Clark and H.
Stacy Smith had the Endorsement of
both sides. so are pure winners.

While no one was looking early this

floor OF building at sos Orange street,
and stole two gold watches--all Mr..
Bart had. The loss was reported TO the
Fifth Precinct Police station.

by Senator Colby. After dining and

1t was a wonderful primary. The
first districts reported showed a fall
ing off in the Colby and Regular vote
cast three years ago, when Colby first
ran at tho primaries to get delegates
for the county convention. So marked
was the drop that for a time is was
felt that the vote would not be more
than so or 60 per cent. of that of 1905.
When some of the larger districts be-
gan to be heard from 1t was seen
that the total for the county would
exceed all estimates. One marked fea-
ture was the falling off of the vote in
Democratic strongholds. The heavy
vote was in Colby's territory The total
Republican vote was about $4,000.

SHARP SPURTS IN
 VARIOUS STOCKS General List Shows Better

COPPER MAKES GOOD GAIN
Advance Is Led By Union Pacific and the Whole Market Is 5uoyant, Wltli Substantial Gains
 All Round.

New York, March 17.-Prices moved continuously in todays stock market but the course of the movement in- fiuenced so often as to leave specu,a tive sentiment thoroughly confused. In one important stock would be dis
 cerned signs believed to point to dis tribution going on while in another appearances would indicate the careful manipulation for the purpose of secuf- ing stock as -cheaply as possible point ing to accumulation. The action ci Union Pacific had an important influ- ence on the whole list by sympathy The bad impression created by yester- days announcement of coming bond issue seemed to pass away after i period of early depression. Bankins; officials connected with the financial district intimated that the first re- ports of the dimensions of the imme diate proposed issue had been exag- gerated Stories were thereupon re- vived of the imminence of the plan for segregation of Union Pacific invest mepts for distribution to stockholders The stock turned strong again and car ried the whole market with it.
 The heavy tone of United States Steel in the early dealings weighed on the whole market and the source of the selling was made cause for suspicion and for rumors of distri- button by important inside interests The copper securities had the a5- vantage of another rise in the price of metal here and abroad and reports from London of an improvement In t.le general market condition for metal Reports regarding conferences over wage conditions in the soft coal trade varied widely as they came from diff ferent districts and this may have }. counted for some confusion in the prize movement of soft coal carriers.
 The special strength shown by the Canadian group of railroads was at tributed to foreign origin, and the reason for the advance was not stated Some sustaining force in the general list was an effect. the compilation Of cash here was going on unintef- rupedly. With the large payments made to the sub-treabury on account oi the return of government deposits tho gain of S2,733,000 made by that insti- tuition at the expense of the banks was amply explained. Receipts on balance from the interior by express have been on so liberal a scale evidently | outweigh this drain and establish q cash gain of probably between one and , two million dollars. It is not supposed that the United States treasury will bt sble to avoid further calls upon de- l.oritories as the current deficit in tk6
 avenues necessitates the paying oui of it's available cash balance. The pay. 1nents in excess of current income however, obviously operate to return sums to the channels of the money market and so restore the amounts drawn down from government deposits The governments operations, in fact

COVERING CAUSES UPTURN

New York, March 27.-The cotton mar ket was nervous and irregular today, and notwithstanding bullish southern spot news was generally lower, closing steady at net unchanged prices to a decline of 13 points. Sales were estimated at 100000 bales
 The market opened easy at decline of 8 to 13 points with most of the active months selling at practically the lowest figures of last Tuesday, while new crop positions broke into new low levels. The decline was due to a renewal of yester- days late selling movement, which seemed to be encouraged by easier Liv- erpool cables and good weather in the south, but around 9:52 for May there was a good demand from important spot and banking interests and weakened cov- ering on which the market rallied to near ly the closing prices of the previous day during the middle session.
 As soon as shorts had been supplied, however the market showed the absence of important bull support by easing off in the late trading, with old crop months closing at net decline of to 13 points. New crop positions were relatively quiet and steady during the afternoon owing to private predictions Of less favorable weather in the southwest. Private wires from the south reported a continued i'm provement in the interior markets, but of fcial advices indicated decline of Ac at Savannah, with other markets gem erally unchanged. Exports for the day were heavier and receipts continued light. The cotton exchange will be closed on Friday. April +, and on Saturday, April IS.
 Receipts at the ports today, 1S,43 bales, against 17,914 last week and 24,9S7 last year. For the week, 5000 bales, against 92 ,997 last week and 147.046 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans, 646O bales, against 3219 last year; at Houston, 5329, against S725 last year.

are interefing with the growing ease of the monty conditions.
 Confidence in continued east of money is expressed amongst stock ex- change borrowers by unwillingness to borrow sums on time in the reliance that the cheaper call Is destined to per sist. The easing of our money rate while foreign money markets show some occasional stiffness was not un related to the days rise in foreign ex- change rates. The strong banking forecast helped the later stock market and the earlier uncertainty was large,y discarded in a vigorous upbidding of prices to a strong closing.
