I|DE CHANGES IN NEWARK
Freely Predicted Next Mayor
VIII Be a Republican.
GNlCHTEL GAINS STRENGTH
democratic Machines Early
confidence in Haussling
Has Disappeared.

one or the contests that is giving consid-
eranle worry to the Democratic managers
VI Hssex County. n. j., is the aggressive
hsht That Edward e. Gnichtel is making
TO be elected Mayor of Newark Jacob T.
iaussiing. who is now finishing his second
ternn' is candidate for reelection on the
democratic ticket. and his friends thought
he would have easy sailing, until the Re-
puolcans-all factions joining together
nominated Mr.. Gnichtel
The tide took a turn at this point. and so
pronounced has become the sentiment in
the Republican candidates favor that his
friends are jubilant and his election by a
good majority is freely predicted.
Mr.. Gnichtel was born In Newark about
forty-two years ago. his ancestors being
among the earlier settlers of the city. He is
at the present time secretary and treasurer
of two of the largest mercantile concerns
in the city. For many years he has taken
a prominent part in the Republican poll
tics of the city. and in 1900. 1901 and 1902
represented the city in the Assembly. Mr..
Gnichtel's services in the Legislature are
notable for his energetic efforts to obtain
legislation which would put building and
loan associations on a stable basis.
To protect the shareholders Mr.. Gnichtel
introduced bill limiting salaries and fees.
This bill the lobby succeeded in killing. In
spite of his defeat in this. his first attempt.
he introduced the bill again IN his second
term. and by hard work overeame the ef-
and 1t took its place on the statute books
as one of the best and most practical laws
Of the session. In hts last term. in 1903. he
introduced and obtained the passage of a
bill providing for a general revision Of
building and loan associations.
Mr.. Gnichtel has issued a strong plat
form. In 1t the Republican candidate
pledges himself to an economical and eff
cient administration. He also says that
the Mayor is Justly held responsible for the
administration of all departments the heads
Of which are appointed by him. In making
such appointments, he says, he will be gov
erned by considerations of competency and
fitness. He believes IN home rule and in
sists that the people of Newark. being the
best judges of the matters which concern
them exclusively, should be permitted to
settle them in their own way.
Mr. GnichteI did not seek the Republican
nomination for Mayor. On the contrary,
he urged the selection of some one else. as
his acceptance meant a sacrifice Of his
business interests. But when the Regu-
lars, Progressives and I.entz followers all
began shouting for him there was nothing
for him to do but accept.
The Democratic machine is working as
hard as it knows how TO elect Haussling.
for there are many important improve
ments under way which involve the ex-
penditure of millions of dollars. The DEM
ocrats want to dispose of these fat con-
tracts among the machine followers, but il

Chairman Briggs, of New Jersey,
Makes Election Forecast.

Vivian NJ Lewis. the Republican candi-
date for Governor, will be elected by a plu-
rality of 23.4oo. according to the prognosti-
cations of Senator Briggs, chairman OF the
Republican State Committee. Mr.. Briggs
gave out these figures yesterday afternoon.
after he had talked with representatives OF
every county in the state who had come TO
Newark to attend the last meeting of the
state committee before election.
Mr. Briggs admitted that be might have
been little conservative in his figures. be-
cause yesterday was campaign fund distri-
button day. and more than one county
chairman had been known to place his esti-
mate lower than what it really ought TO be,
in order to wiggle out of the committee
some extra wherewithal for expenses
In the list prepared by Mr.. Briggs Essex
County is given to Lewis by 4.OO0. while
Hudson is put in the Wilson column at s.
600. Camden Is counted on for its usual
plurality Of 5000. and Atlantic is expected
TO make a new high water mark for Re
publican majorities.
Three years ago Governor Fort was elect
ed bv 5000. He lost Essex by a little less
than 500. while IN Hudson he cut down the
Democratic majority TO about $500.

erson in the old Fulton n-Montgamery-Ha -Hamil-

and 1909 was a Democratic candidate for

10 Ezra P. Prentice Republican state chair
man, yesterday, that he could not lend him
self TO Murphy's attempt TO Tammanyize
the state. and that ne would therefore sup
port Stimson and the rest of the Republican
ticket
In his letter he points out clearly the en-
tire course Of the Democratic League, and
explains how Murphy. for his own ends,
played the league craftily into his own
hands, and balanced off the respectable
ngurehead of Mr.. Dix at the head Of the
ticket against the Tammany controlled can
oidates wlo iii the other places.

chairman.
On the statement OF Mr.. Dix that his
worknen were willing to work for the thir-

did work, Mr.. Prentice commented that the
company had fixed a wage scale whereby
the workmen could get 81 IS a day for thir-
teen hours work a day. and If they wanted
to work eight hours, they got only 81 os a
day.
Naturally they were willing to work
