TWO MORE TAFT
MEN CHOSEN BY
EIGHTH DISTRICT
Strong Feeling for Hughes at
Convention-Mott May Name
Fort at Chicago.

DIR. Leslie D. Ward, Of Newark, and
William F. Allen, of South Orange VII
lage, admirers of Secretary of War
William II. Taft, have been chosen dele
gates to the Republican national on
vontion at the Eighth district conven-
ton. By its selection the convention
unanimously expressed its preference
for the war secretary, and the delegates,
though unrestricted, will support his
candidacy.
County Prosecutor of the Pleas Will
bur A. Mott and George A. Douglas,
negro leader of the Second Ward Re
publicans, were elected alternates. The
former nominated Justice John Franklin
Fort for Governor last fall, and it is
understood that he will go to Chicago
and place the Governors name before
the national convention as Vice-Presi-
dent, if the chief executive of the State
decides to be put forward as a candl-
date.
The election of Taft delegates last
night followed similar action the night
before by the Seventh congressional dis
trict convention.
DIR. Wards choice was unanimous.
Allen was opposed by Colonel Henry A.
Potter, of East Orange, who polled 6S
votes to Aliens 901a. Colonel Potter
then moved that Aliens choice be made
unanimous. and, amid cheers, the mo-
ton prevailed. .
Prior 10 the convention East Orange
delegates discussed the presidential
preference. Of forty-two men in the
delegation, seventeen were in favor of
Hughes and twenty-five favored Taft.

FIRE RETURNS TO
J. 5. MENAGH STORE
AND DESTROYS IT
Blaze First Broke Out in Gale
Last Night-Fireman
Is Hurt.
Especial to the Evening start

JERSEY CITY, May Fire again
broke out in the hardware and paint
store of the John S. Menagh Company
this morning and Quilted all fire floors
of the building. The damage amounts
to a total loss which the fire department
estimate at more than 500, 900. There
was 5000 insurance on the building
and $50, 900 IN the stock.
Three alarms were turned in last
last night. The fire started in the Grove
street building and spread to the New
ark avenu wing. The fremen had
great difficulty in fighting the fire on
account of the high wind and driving
rain. In addition to these difficulties
all the fighting had to be done from
without, as Chief Conway forbade his
men to enter the building, because it
was stocked with oil and paints.
Thomas Burke, of No. 2 Truck Conn.,
pany, stretched his body across several
telephone wires while holding a nozzle.
Gustav Wharton. of Engine Company
No. 10. was cut in the arm by falling
glass.
Although the Menagh building adj
joined others, the fire was prevented
from spreading to them.
