WANT NEWARkER To
HEAD UNDERTAKES
State Association Considers
Frank S. BOlles as
President.

ASBURY PARK, Sept. A-The eX-
ecutive committee of the New Jersey
State Funeral Directors Association
met here yesterday and made final ar
rangements for the eighth annual con-
vention of the association to be held
in this city next week, beginning on
Wednesday and continuing three days.
This is the second consecutive year
that the State undertakers have select
ed Asbury Park for their place of
meeting, and while last years attend
ance surpassed all expectations, the
members of the executive committee
today expressed the opinion that the
success of the 1899 meeting is already
assured.
Not alone will there be present NOR
tuarians from all parts of Ne Jersey
but many embers of the PROFESSION
from Pennsylvania, New York n ad-
iacent States will come to the seaside
resort to meet their Jersey brethren
and incidentally enjoy tn ocean
brsezes.
What will undoubtedly be an i'm
portant feature of the convention de-
veloped at yesterdays committee meet
ing, and it is not at all improbable that
owing to the prominence in the associa-
ton of the two principals, the interest
in all prior contests for office will be
overshadowed. George II. Bunnell, OF
Jersey City. the organizations first
vioe-president, is a candidate for the
presidency. Mr.. Burrell. of Camden. will
retire, after an incumbency of two
wears. and the friends of Mr.. Bunnell
contend that his position as first vice
president entities him to first claim
upon the executive chair. This, several
Newark members of the association
maintain, should not necessarily hold,
and to back up their views they are
fostering what they claim Is a very
healthy boom for Frank S. Bolles, of
Newark
Mr.. Bolles has been a stalwart or
sanitation nan since the inception of
the State body eight years ago, n has
! been one of the important factors in
the success of the associa'ion. He has
never held office in the State o%rganiza-
ton, but was. thrice president of the
Essex and Union Counties Association.
which society will, in all probability,
give its undivided support to the candi-
dacy of Mr.. Bolles.
lanes II. Churchman, of Orange, is
the present scrgeant-at-arms.
On the stalzaing committees are: Spe-
cial advisory. John f.. Matthew's,
Newark. Conference with manufac-
turers, w. Halsey Smith. Newark;

tive, William F.. Mullin, Newark; A. j.
Hole, Newark, and John II. Broemel,

Camden, at 10 a. m, and prayer will be
