Charles Z. Gehring. county chairman OF the
marty and nominee for Representative in Con-
sress in the 18th Congress District and John j.
DAILY. nominee for Representative in Congress
in the 18th Congress District
Mr. Cehring said that Mr.. DAILY declined be-
cause he has n book store in Fourth avenue and
is too busy 10 run. The fact that Herbert
Parsons, Republican County Chairman is the
representative in Congress from the 18th. had
nothing at all to do with Mr.. Days dropping
out Of the fight Mr.. Gehring said. Mr. Days
successor on the ticket was described as "a Mr.
Olsen who is a carpeter and builder
Others who dropped out st the first quarter
were Thomas Eason. the Prohibition party's
nominee for Surrogate. and NJ. NJ. Bartholomew,
the Socialist nominee for the State Senate IN the
18th Senate District.
The only one Of the three leaguers whose
declnation could not be explained at the
leagues headquarters last night was Mr.. Palh-
se-. he had fled a brief letter late yesterday
afternoon with the Board Of Elections, and as
far as Mr. Gehring or his confreres at head
quarters knew, Mr.. Palliser had gone out Of
town. They would venture no explanation, but
there was q rumor that Mr.. Palliser had been
dissatisfied because the leagues county cOnven-
ton had failed 10 indorse Surrogate Beckett,
who Is the nominee the Republican ticket.
At the convention there three hours fight.
in which Mr.. PaIliser welded the cudgels for
Surrogate Beckett. The nomination for Surro-
gate was finally given TO ex-Judge John Pal
rnieri.
Mr. Gehring was reached at the league head
quarters about midnight and said: THE rea-
ron declined was that felt I could not run for
Congress ana at the same time attend to my
work as county chairman. The nomination for
Congress was forced upon me. for I felt that the
duties Of county chairman in a comparatively
new party require too much time. On Monday
