HIS FRIENDS ANNOUNCE THAT HE WILL STAND FOR RE
 ELECTION IN 1912.
ROOSEVELT AID EXPECTED
Executive Is Optimistic and Now Has Hopes for Republican Vic tory-Begins Consolidating
 insurgents.

Washington, Dec 29.-Friends oi the administration made it known in an emphatic manner that President Taft intends to stand for renomina tion in 1912. They expect that he will have the support of Colonel Roose welt. The colonel now is in an opti mistic frame of mind and looks for ward to a Republican victory in 1912
 A few weeks ago the situation did not look promising to the president He believed that the November de feat presaged another disaster in the national campaign to follow Even at that time the president is known to have told friends that he would ac cept the nomination in the face of certain defeat if the Republican com. mittee placed the standard in his hands.
 It is, of course, out of the question for Taft to announce his candidacy, but it may be stated on good author ity that whatever the political devel Cpments of the next few months may be, his name will be placed in nomi. nation at the party gathering in 1912. The president believes that Bepub. lican victory is possible at the next general election, but he knows that a long and hard campaign faces the party. He has consulted many lead. CTS and has himself taken the first steps toward a reconciliation between the regulars and the insurgents.
 Where Roosevelt Stands.
 According to leaders here the fight in the convention of 1912 is likely to arise between the extreme insurgent wing and a more conservative but still progressive faction, which shall stand for President Taft It is with this latter wing that Colonel Boose- welt is expected to ally himself as against the extremists, of whom Sen. ator Cummins of Iowa or Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin may be the leader
 It is poiNted out here that the pres ident had made overtures to the in surgents since congress began it's ses- sion When he went to Panama, Taft, according to friends, was de- spondent as to the chance of Repub- iican success two years hence. On that trip his brother. Charles P. Taft, brought him into a more optimistic frame of mind.
 At any rate, it is certain that i'm. mediately on his return to the United States the president held out the olive branch to the insurgents Senators Cummins, Borah, Bristow and Repre-, sentatives Norris Murdock and oth- CTS classed as insurgents went to the White House as of old.

After Richard v. Lindabury. general
counsel for the Prudential Insurance
Company. had argued with force and
effect for five hours yesterday in the
fight for the distribution of it's more
than SIG. 900, 900 surplus before Vice
Chancellor Howell in Chancery cham

either Thursday or Friday of next week
for former Acknowledgement Robert H.
McCarter's innings. This will be the
final word IN the big financial bout, and
then 1t will be up to the vice-chancellor
to decide. 1t is understood that the
matter will be settled before the month
is much older. but no matter which way
his decision goes it is also understood
the loser will carry the case to the
Court of Errors n Appeals. 1t may
go to the United States Supreme Court
eventually.
Mr.. McCarter will argue for the

1t was originally intended to let Mr..
McCarter nave his say yesterday, at
least begin it, but Mr.. Lfndabufy be-
came so enthused in his Subject and
delved so deeply into it that he used
up the whole court day.
Occasionally Mr.. Lindabury waxed
sarcastic, and once, after dwelling upon
a point infinitely which counsel on the
other side did not appear to under
stand, drove 1t home in the double
force, remarking:
This is something that would be
readily understood by any law stu

Then, again. he said something that
nettled John r. Hardin, who is asso-
ciated with Mr.. McCarter, In pressing

"Oh, I don't know!" exclaimed Mr..
Hardin.

In bringing his argument to a close
Mr.. Lindabury paid a high tribute to

words:

DRIVER IS HURLED FROM
WAGON INTO TROLLEY CAR.
Meat Cart Wedged Between Two
Electric Vehicles in Harrison.

SandWiched between two trolley cars
today in an accident in Harrison. a
wagon belonging to Coffin Brothers,
meat dealers, of this city, was prac-
tically demolished before 1t could be
e~xtricated. A spectacular feature OF
the mishap was the fact that Joseph
kenney, 30 years old, of 228 Cross
street, Harrison, the driver of the
wagon, was thrown from his seat by
the force of the collision and landed in
a seat in one of the open trolley cars.
He sustained several gashes on the
head and a general shaking up, but
was not seriously injured.
Passengers on both cars were much
frightened. Kenney, with a wagon
load of meat. had just left the store Of
Jacob Breitenbucher, at 235 Harrison
avenue, and was crossing the car
tracks to get to the store of Julius
Greatorex, which is several doors be-
low on the opposite side.
He saw Turnpike car No. 1899, which
was in charge of Frank Riordan.
travelling toward Jersey City, but he
failed to see Turnpike No. 1895, on
which was Motorman Frank Hunt.
In trying to avoid the accident Ken
ney became confused and his wagon
was struck forcibly by R~iordan's car
and pushed about ten feet back into the
car being driven by Hunt. When both
electric vehicles got closer the jar throw
Kenney.
The horse attached to the wagon, get
ting frightened, made wild efforts to get
released from the tight position In
which it was entangled. The body Of
the beef wagon was lifted cleea from
the wheels. Beef went flying around | n
every direction. Kenney was assisted
from the car and sent home. Riordan,
the motorman, had been depotmaster in
Montclair until two weeks ago, and this
is the first accident Hunt has had in
some time.
