All the horses were gotten out, but the

a general alarm was sent out
Lines of hose were stretched across

ON NOMINATION
Doesn't Wish to Run, but Will
Obey Mandate of His
Party.
[speciai to the Newark star.l

TRENTON, July 25.-Declining to be
candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Governor. Frank s. Katz-
enhach today gave out the following
statement:
"If my position with respect to the
Democratic nomination for Governor Is
not understood I will endeavor to make
1t as clear as 1t is possible for me to do.
Three years ago desired. sought
and received the nomination, While
the campaign did not result in my
election, I deeply appreciated the honor
Of the nomination and the splendid
efforts of the party In my behalf.
This year I have stood without re-
solve, but I was not candidate and
felt someone else should receive the
nomination. In this I was actuated in
part by what 1 believed to be for the
best interest of the party. and in part
because of personal reasons l don't de-
sire the nomination.
my friends and the party will, am
sure. heed and respect my wish not to
be candidate. especially as in Messrs.
Carrow. Cole, Hughes, Kenny, Silzer,
Wilson or Wittpenn the party has both
excellent and available material from
which to select q winning nominee; In
view of these circumstances 1t seems 20
me to be somewhat presumptuous on
my part to consider the contingency OF
my nomination.
I'm order. however, to leave no
doubt as to my position I will even
state how In the event of the happening
OF such things / would accept. No
loyal Democrat would fail to respend
to a draft by his party. If drafted,
being neither insensible to nor un-
grateful or past honors. l would re-
spond to the call. It is. however, my
earnest wish during the coming cam
paign to work In the ranks and to rem
der for another the services I have re-
ceived in the past"
Mr.. Katzenbach's statement is ex-
pected to give great encouragement to
his friends who have been insisting
upon him declaring himself as can
didate for Governor this fall
Recently his friends have been urg-
ing him to stand as candidate and on
numerous occasions at dinners and
meetings of his party he made state
ments as to where he stood. These
statements. however. have not salts
fed his friends and. being urged for a
further statement. he today made the

SENATOR WAKELEE
GOVERNOR BOOM
GROWING APACE
Republican Leaders Turning to
Him as the One Tower of
Real Strength.

While less in the limelight than some
OF the other Republican gubernatorial
possibilities, Senator Edmund w.
Wakelee's boom Is assuming such for
midable proportions that many of his
party leaders incline to the belief that
the Bergen senator is the one available
candidate of sufficient poise to oppose
the 'big man. the Democrats are ex-
pected to nominate.
Senator Wakelee is now completing
the twelfth year of legislative career
that is more remarkable In many re-
spects than that of any other New
Jersey legislator of similar age.
Born November 21, 1862 the senator
was not 80 years old when he entered
the political arena during the session
of 1899 as an assemblyman from Ber-
gen county. Clear-eyed. smooth
shaven and with youthful appear
ance, which he still retains, Assembly,
man Wakelee was looked upon as a
mere boy by his Republican, colleagues,
as well as the Democratic members.
That was for brief period only.
From 1895 to 1899 the Republicans had
almost exclusive control of the House,
as the Democrats had as low as four
members out of sixty in the first year
named, and but few more in 1895,
'97 and '9S.
In 1899 the minority had grown to

WELCOME BREEZE
BRINGS RELIEF
FROM HEAT WAVE
One Young Man Is Overcome,
and Is Taken Home In

An industrious little breeze managed
to keep the ambitious mercury down to
the comparatively respectable figure of

until noon and represented per~'~4 mt

5 o'clock this morning, when the ther-
mometer registered but rs degrees.
At midnight, after the hottest day of
the summer of 1910. it was S4 in the
shade, which, of course, monopolized
the situation at that hour. It grew
steadily cooler. at the rate of degree
an hour, when the bedrock figure OF
Is was reached at a. m.
But for a breeze similar to the one
which was found so useful today many

MAYOR MURDERED
BY BOMB THROWER
At R|DGEWAY, VA
Assassin Escapes After Tossing
Dynamite Shell-M0tive
May Be Revenge.

RIDGEWAY, Va, July I25.-Mayor
A. H. Bousman was assassinated by
dynamite bomb which was thrown
from the street under a hammock in
which he was lying last evening. He
died an hour after the explosion.
No clue to the identity of the muir
derer or the. cause of the crime has
been found.
Mayor Bousman had been spending
the hot evening sleeping in a hammock
swung between two trees on the law In
front of his residence. Without word
of warning, at about 10 o'clock. the
dynamite bomb was thrown by some
one passing along the street. 1t landed
in the hamomck at his feet and In an
instant exploded. The mayors feet
were torn away by the bursting shell.
and his legs frightfully mutilated. In
great agony he died an hour later.
Although the town authorities, when
notified of the murder, made every
effort to discover the assassin, no clue
could be found. and 1t is believed he
escaped without being seen by anyone.
The news quickly spread about town
and excitement. grew to high pitch.
The surrounding community today is
worked up over the murder. 1t is
believed If the perpetrator of the crime
is caught he will be summarily dealt
with.
AS mayor Of Ridgeway, Mr.. Bousman
presided over the police court of the
town trying petty cases. 1t is thought
that some persons upon whom Bous-
man in his court had passed sentence
of punishment held a grudge against
him and had been awaiting an oppor-
tunity to wreck the home of the mayor.
This opportunity came last evening
when the mayor lay sleeping in the
open air.
The terrific report attracted many
persons to the scene, but the excite
ment was so great that apparently no
one thought to search for the assassin
until he had made his escape unde-
tected.
The body of Mr.. Bousman was badly
torn to pieces. A part of the fuse of
the bomb was today found on the roof
of the Beusman residence. where it had
been blown by the force of the ex-
plosion On the sides of houses sixty
feet away blood had been spattered
and bits of flesh adhered to the walls.
The assasslnated man was 55 years
of age. He is survived by a wife and
son of IL years.
John o. Coan. a prominent tobac-
conist. of Winston Salem. N c., is a
brother-in-law of the dead man. Mr..
Bousman was connected with promi-
nent families in Henry and Franklin
counties and in other sections of Vir-
ginia.
