he will line up with the conservatives.

sion of the Legislature. They are in
clined to believe that the decisive de-
feat suffered by the Progressives in
Essex and the overwhelming election
Of the. Regulars nominated for Assem-
bly, will have a noticeable effect on
the Fort message this year.
In an interview on Tuesday the Gov
ernor said that he had never demanded
that the Legislature do more than was

convention platform This is taken to
indicate that he viii not urge any new
reforms this winter, but will stick to

State pledges.
George l.. Record and other Pro-

Governor will shake off all semblance
of cordial relations with the Regular

Democratic minority supporting him

PROBE in MATHEWS CASE
WILL BE MADE TONIGHT.

There is lively speculation today as
to the outcome of the meeting tonight
of the committee on instruction and
education of the Board of Education,
which is to consider the charges
against Professor Byron C. Mathews,
of the Barringer High School.
Professor Mathews is charged with
having presided at meeting which
had for its object the exciting of re-
lisiotfs prejudices and which actually
developed into meeting of anarchists
The meeting was the Ferrer demon
stratfon in Wevers's Colosseum.
The committee which will consider
Professor Mathews's case tonight is as
Follows: John Breunig, Edgar r.
Brown, Benedict Prieth, Thomas S.
McCabe and Charles p. Taylor. Fred
erick r. Guild, in his capacity as presi-
dentfof the board, is ex-officio member
Of all committees.
Az to the manner of proceeding at
tonight's meeting little could be learned
today. 1t was said today that certain
members Of the committee are in favor
OF having the Mathews case heard
publicly. and it is believed that this
will be the course followed.
Following the meeting there will be a
meeting Of the full board. 1t may be
that the committee. meeting will be
public and that a Conference will be
held in the interim of the committee
meeting and the meeting Of the full
board So much public interest has
attached to the case, however, that it
il not likely that proceedings of the
.'star chamber variety viii be favored
by amajority Of the members of the
committee.
Aside from the violent abuse Of re-
lfgionl and the Bible that prevailed at
the Ferrer meeting, there was talk OF
''bullefs for King Morgan and King
Rockefeller" 1t is admitted that sew
eral, anarchistic statements were made
at the meeting, and some of Professor
Afathews's most ardent defenders admit
that It was mot becoming a public
school ofiiciea attending, much less pre-
siding. at meeting OF that character.
