wishes OF his senator, Harry d. Leavitt,
who refused to stand for him because
of the slight, though he declared that
personally he was strongly in favor of
him.
The governor will make Burke an ad
interim appointment, which will take it
out of the hands of the. Senate. George
F. Wright, of Passaic, r~eappointed to
the State Water Supply Commission,
nearly failed of confirmation on ac-
count of the opposition of his own sem
ator, John Hinchliffe.
The senator took the ground that the
governor had declared that the COM
mission was larger than need be. and as
there were other able men on the board,
1t would be a saving to the State of a
81. 800 a year salary if Wright We're not
confirmed. He was afterwards won

FEAR OF SPECIAL
SESSION PASSES
PRIMARY MEASURE
AT Midnight Election Bill Is Re-
considered and damned
Through House.

TRENTON, April 16.-The Assembly
last night was involved in a bitter on
~troversy over one of the Governors
election reform schemes. This is the
bill providing for the election of city
n county committeeman at the prf-
mary elections. This measure was sent
over from the Senate, where it origi-
mated. lThe bill was warmly advocated
by the New Idea men and as warmly
condemned by some of the organization
Republicans. Then it was killed by a
vote of 20 to SO.
Martin, New Idea captain, immedi-
ately moved to reconsider a previous
resolution not to reconsider bills, de-
claring that he wanted later to move
the reconsideration of the election meas
IRE. He declared that the latter bill
was in keeping with party pledges and
should be passed.
The Organization leader, Lewis; Gin
nelley. of Mercer and Voorhees,, of Mid
dlesex, opposed the Martin resolution,
and then, as a last resort, Mr.. Voorhees,
moved to table 1t. Martin demanded a
roll-call, n the motion to table pre-
vailed by a vote of 20 to SO, the same
as defeated the original measure.
This is practically the only one of the
Governors election reform bills that the
leaders agreed to pass, and the only one
that was Endorsed by the legislative
COMMITTEES which considered the whole
subject.
Later Assemblyman Colgate, a colonel
on the Governors staff, moved to take
Mr.. Martins reconsideration motion
from the table. Voorhees,, still aiming
to kill the Governors election reform
bill, moved to lay the Colgate motion on
the TABLE. This motion was withdrawn
and the Colgate motion was adopted.
On a fnal vote the bill was passed, 80
to 25.

The ~throwdown of Avis is not en-
tirely without profit to the Governor.

recompense for not reappointing their

Pagan Bis Surprise.
Borden d. Whiting, one of the New
Idea members of the Railroad Commits
sion, has been s~ee-sawing between re-
appointment and a freeze-out for some
time. His chances kept looking stronger
and stronger. until last week, when he
practically dropped out of the running.
The most unweleome of all the APP
pointments to the Regulars, perhaps,
was that of Mark NJ. Pagan, former
mayor of Jersey City, as a member of
the State Riparian Commission, 1t was
rumored before the appointments Went
In that there was a surprise in store for
John Rotterdam, county chairman of
Hudson, and the, pet and particular
enemy of Pagan. The rumor was made
good.
The nominations We're not fairly in
the Senate before Rotterdam was in

why, Pagan is one of the originators
of the New Idea movement and Roth
