JAGLE READY To
BREAK SLATE, IS
NEWEST REPORT
Friends Say Man Regulars
Wanted to Head City Ticket
Is Too Busy.
CHAIRMAN CALLED UPON
FOR AN EXPLANATION
Denies Making Statement That
German Could Not Be
Named for Sheriff.

More slatemaking will have to be
made by the Regular Republicans than
was done yesterday at the conference
of leaders at headquarters. Part of
yesterdays slate has been broken al
ready, and by one of the men picked
out to run, it is said.
The breaker, rumor has it, is George
w. Jagle He was settled on as the
Regulars candidate to make the run
at the primaries for the nomination for
Mayor, but it was said today by his
friends that he positively would not ac
cept the place. The sam inofrmation
was given to reporter for THE EVE
MING STAR by one of the men vino
attended the conference
1t was said that Mr.. Jagle would
make formal statement in a few
days. The statement was also made
that If Mr.. Jagle decides to enter the
political field at all it will be only If
he receives the Endorsement of the
Regulars for Sheriff Friends of Mr.
Jagle said that he would not go into
politics at all this year. as he believed
it would interfere with his business.
The sposition of Mr.. Jagle may cause
an entire reconsideration of the slate
for local officers. In his place the
Regulars are at odds concerning the
selection of man, and 1t is regarded
| as possible that either Arthur Den
man or Frank ]. Book, both members
of the Board of Works, may be picked
for the place. Both o them feel conf
dent that he could be elected against
Mayor Haussling.
County Chairman Alfred N Dalrym-
pie did not have things all his own way
at the conference and the selection of
Arthur r. Denman as the candidate
for Sheriff to be supported by the
Regulars at the party primaries on
September % was not agreed upon
The matter of supporting any individ-
ual was left open for another confer
ence, to be held next week When the
matter was brought up there was a hot
time.
Incidental to the consideration of the
candidate for sheriff nomination, Mr..
Dalrymple was called on to explain
whether there was any truth in a re-
port that he said there was no chance
of German being named this year as
pie denied the statement positively. 1t
was made Monday night at a meeting
in the Third Ward.
Selections That Have Been Made.
Selections, SO far as made, were of
the following:
For Senator, Thomas L. Raymond;
for Mayor, George W. Jagle; for Con-
gress Seventh District), r. Wayne
Parker; for Congress eighth District),
William H. Wiley. of East Orange
Raymond and Parker were named
without opposition, and Jagle's selec-
ton was practically unanimous, but
there was a discussion over Wiley's
place. East Orange men present made
fight to have the support of the
Regulars pledged to City Clerk Lin
coin E. Rowley. Of East Orange, but
their plea was ineffective. Another
man who wanted the Regular backing
was Judge Benjamin F. Jones, of the
Orange District Court. but his name
was only referred to in the conference.
When the sheriff matter was taken
up there was a swarm of names, in
cluding those of Board of Works Com
missioner Arthur r. Denman, City
Treasurer Albert T. Guenther, former
bOdTu Ol NOIhS SOIllIlllSSlOIltT Carl V.
Baumann, Assemblyman H Stacy

Schmidt, Frank f. Smith, DR.. William
H. Mckenzie and former County Su-
pervisor David H. Johnson
Many After Sherin's Place.
Denman is favored by Dalrymple;
Guenther has the powerful Third Ward
Republican organization and influential
friends elsewhere to support him;
Schmidt is supported by the leaders
from the Ironbound district; Baumann
has great weight from the upper Hill
section; johnson has heavy backing In
the North End and from some of the
suburbs, and DR.. Mckenzie has sup
port in the southern part of the city
and in some Of the townships. Stacy
Smith is not an active aspirant for the
place. but Is willing to take it or go
back to the Assembly as may be most
agreeable to the leaders. Frank F.
Smith has been an aspirant for the
sheriff's nomination several times, and
is making strong personal fight.
Board of Works Commissioner Frank

step aside so as to have harmony, he
