MAN WILL BOSST THE
COUNTY COMMITTEE
Home After Vacation, Former
Senator Declares New Idea
Stock Is Going Up.
RUN AGAIN FOR THE STATE
SENATE? SURE THING!
LET Dalrymple and Lentz Fight
1t Out-I've Got the
Real Winner"

With a healthy coat of tan and bub-
bling over with enthusiasm at the
politicaI prospects of the New idea
party, former Senator Everett Colby
reached Newark yesterday morning
from South Hampton, l.. l., and i'm
mediately proceeded to gather unto MIN
MS lieutenants and discuss the situa-
ltion. The sessions lasted until far into
the night. and when seen by a STAR
reporter today the senator said he was
extremely well satisfied with the way
things looked
When asked what he thought of the
fight between Alfred n. Dalrymple and
MAJOR Carl Lentz for the county leader
ship, he smiled as he answered:
Let them fight. Well bring out
man who will pull out a winner easily.
Who is he? Why, really, L don't know.
In fact, none of us know yet. There
are so many good men whom we would
like to have announce themselves for
this position that we have not yet de-
cided".
We will wait until we can get our
Assembly candidates together. Then
Wen suggest a number of names to
them and see which they are willing
to support. But understand" declared
the Senator in very earnest manner.
we will make it plain enough to the
voter whom these men will support.
tell you the voter these days when he
steps into the polls to cast his vote
wants to know who that man for whom
he is going to vote will support for
the position of leader"
We'll, Senator" asked the reporter.
what do you think of your chances
for the Senatorship? l suppose we may
take it for granted that you will run
again?"
"Oh, certainly I am going to run
again I might say everything is
bright fer the all-around success of the
entire ticket of the New Idea party"
Asked what he thought of the rumor
that the legal fight that his firm-Colby,
Sommer & Whiting-has been making
for the hat manufacturers against the
strikers would be harmful in the com
ing fight or help to undermine their po-
liticai position, Mr.. Colby answered:
well, 1 am afraid it will do some
harm. but when all this hat talk shall
have passed over and things have as
sumed their regular tone. the people
will realize that this stand of ours in
the strike was merely that that any
legal firm would have
81 think that the gubernatorial stu
alton has narrowed down to a very
pretty fight between Vivian NJ. Lewis
and Senator Frelinghuysen, said Mr..
Colby, "but you must remember that
there is a well-defined rumor that
Mahlon Pitney, the present chancellor,
will be the next Governor. OF course,
do not wish to be quoted as saying
this is my view; 1 merely say there is
such a rumor."
Regarding the senatorial fight in Pas
sale county and the fight between As
semblymen Blauvelt and Prince for the
Republican nomination. the former
Senator seemed to think that Blauvelt
would win out, and as for the election
fight with the present incumbent, John
Hinchliffe. he thought Blauvelt would
triumph once again.
Senator Colby will remain In town
for the rest of the week and then re-
turn to Southampton, L. T., where his
family has been for the summer. He
will leave that place about the middle
of September.
