TRENTON. n. j.. June lit is not
unlikely that when New Jersey repub-
Iican delegates reach Chicago two weeks
from tomorrow there will be division

nomination. The state convention three

has been set In motion for former Gov
F. c. Stokes. who is said to be a re-
ceptjve candidate for the vice presi-

the leaders of the republican party than
