1snecial Correspondenee.l

Trenton. Oct. 6:-Senator Frank
o. Briggs, chairman OF the -repuDH-
can state committee, has found IL
necessary to revise the tentative
itinerary for Vivian NJ. Lewis's cam
.paign tour given out last Monday,
and today announced a number or
changes which will carry the guber-
material candidate into sections on
dates not originally planned for him.
First of all, Chairman Briggs an
nounced that Mr.. Lewis would not
begin his real work on the hastings
until next Saturday night, when he
will deliver g speech in Hoboken, at
which time he will probably disclose
to some extent the attitude he will
assume on the stump towards the
progressive issues-the mooted ques-
| ton of the hour in the republican
camp. Mr.. Lewis's visit to Hoboken
Saturday night will be in addition to
the one planned for him to make to
that city tonight. His appearance in
Hackensack last night and his going
to Hoboken tonight are in the way of
keeping engagements he personally
made for himself bfore he was nomi-
mated for governor.
According to the tentative ar
rangements made by Mr.. Briggs the
gubernatorial candidate was to in
| wade Warren county tomorrow and
| Sussex county Saturday. Both of
these counties will not be visited by
Mr.. Lewis until later in the cam
paign. This afternoon Mr.. Lewis Is
| attending the Mt. Holly fair, where
he will meet DR.. Woodrow Wilson for
the second time. 1t will probably
be the last time during the campaign
that two gubernatorial aspirants will
run across each other In swinging
around the circle" Tomorrow Mr..
Lewis will not have any speechmak-
ing engagements, and expects to
spend at least part of the day in his
offices in the state house. AS stated,
he will be in Hoboken Saturday
night.
The revised schedule announced
today by Mr.. Briggs provides the fol-
lowing engagements for him all of
next week: Monday, Monmouth
county; Tuesday, Ocean county;
Wednesday evening, Elizabeth;
Thursday, Burlington county; Friday
evening. Trenton; Saturday evening,
L loiAliCld. lAlo d idA6ChIChI Will
put him in Elizabeth, Trenton and
Plainfield and In Burlington county
on dates different than first an
nodlced.
Before the end of this week Sena-
tor Briggs expects to have a definite
itinerary covering every day up to
election on November s laid out for
Mr.. Lewis.
AS yet, 1t cannot be stated how Mr..
Lewis will spend his time in Mon
mouth, Ocean and Burlington coun-
ties on the days fixed for next week.
l'Hhe details of his tour through these
counties will be arranged by the
county leaders, and what the latter's
plans will be Mr.. Briggs does not yet
know. 1t is expected, however, that
he will spend the day touring the
county In an automobile and meeting
as many voters as he car get in per-
sonal touch with. He will make
short talks wherever small crowds
gather on his way. Monday night he
will probably speak either In Long
Branch OIL Asbury Park, Tuesday
night In Lakewood and Thursday
night in Burlington city.
Today Captain Frank Evans, sec
rotary to Senator Briggs, is organiz-
ing and fitting out the branch offices
of the state committee that will be
maintained at the corner of State
and Warren streets until the n of
the campaign.
