Chairman Work in regard to his pos

tor says that If he does decide to be
candidate, he will demand an ex
preston OF opinion from the whole
party, by means of the primaries or
otherwise, and abide by the result
Now If the state convention declares
that In Its opinion Republican candi
dates for state senator this year shall
consider themselves pledged to abide
by the result OF Republican primary
two years hence, and then II the con.
vention instructs the new chairman to
include In his call two years hence
en- invitation for an expression OF opin.
ion at the regular primaries on the
senatorial question, then the whole
question goes over for two years, and
need not enter into this campaign at
all. Such action should be taken, and
be perfectly proper. whether any di
rect primary law is In operation OF

is VICTIM OF
A CARD GAME
Freehold Man Easy for Two
Sharpers Who Came to
Buy Farm.
EASILY WON $1,000
EASILY WON

Freehold, Sept. 16:-ProviHg him
self an easy victim for two New York
swindlers. Patrick Quinn, an aged
resident of Union avenue, Is today
minus $500 in cash. In return he
has a souvenir of his experience, a
tin box filled with old newspapers
and a piece of a brick. The old, old
card game is what Mr.. Quinn fell for.
A stranger, introducing himself as
Mr.. Wheedon, visited Freehold two
weeks ago and announced his desire
to purchase a farm. Mr.. Quinn
agreed to look for a suitable place
for him. Wednesday the stranger
returned, engaging a rig from a 10
cal stable, and with Mr.. Quinn start
ed toward Englishtown. At Tennent
they stopped to talk with a stranger.
A game of cards was proposed and
played Mr.. Quinn easily won ST.
900 of the strangers money. This
was placed in a tin box brought out
from under the seat of the vehicle
"for safety" the strangers explained.
Mr.. Quinn's new found companions
then suggested that as he was SO
lucky he add $500 to the $1,000 he
had won and they would put up ST.
600 against 1T.
Quinn didn't have the money, but
declared that he could get 1t at Eng
lishtown. The strangers consented
to drive on to that place for the sake
of a good game like that. Here Mr..
Quinn secured $500 from the bank
on a note Endorsed by William Hess,
a hotel proprietor. When Mr.. Quinn
returned with the money the stran-
gers suggested that he let them put
1t Into the box with his $1,000 and
he could hold the box while they
went up town on an errand. This
Mr.. Quinn believed was done, but
the strangers put the key in their
pockets. Failing to return to the
hotel at the promised time Mr.. Quinn
made an Investigation and learned
that the strangers had driven toward
Freehold. He returned there, where
he told a friend Of his winning ST.
600. He was prevailed upon to force
the lock on the box, and when he did
so he found the paper and brick. In
vestigation CLEANS the fact that the
strangers left on a train for New
York before Mr.. Quinn returned to
Freehold.
