adopted without opposition. The fol-

his quick recovery. The resolution was
adopted by a rising vote.
The convention was clearly In the
hands OF the regular Republican lead
ers in New Jersey. The delegates
elected are not all favorable to Secre-

the leaders is that the New Jersey
delegation should go to Chicago un-

whatever favors might be obtained for
New Jersey.
A strong effort will be made to have
the national convention accept former
Governor Franklin Murphy as vice.
