and William H. Wiley, in the Seventh
and Eighth districts, respectively, won
their fights for denomination in the
Republican primaries yesterday.
Early returns last night indicated
that it would be close race between
Parker and his opponent. Harold j.
Howland but as strong organization
districts began to send in their results
the aspect of affairs quickly changed.
Parker practically swept the deck N
the First Fourth, Sixth and Seventh
and Fifteenth wards of Newark. How
land was supreme in the Eighth and
Eleventh wards of the city, and has
big majority of delegates in the dis
triets of these two wards to his credit.
Howland won eight of the eleven
delegates in the Ninth ward.
Howland had things all his own way
in Montclair. where he resided Tor
many years, and also carried Verona,
where he now lives, but which elects
only one delegate to the convention.
Belleville, Nutley and Orange all
registered their preference for Parker
II. r.. Promised Speech for Howlnnd.
The fight in the Seventh was looked
1lpon as one of the Warmest in the
State More than usual attention was
attracted to it from the fact that
former President Roosevelt was gen
eraly supposed to have given all the
approval that he consistently could
without coming into the district to the
Howland candidacy. The former Pres
ident had gone so far as to promise to
come here to make a speech In the
event of Howlands nomination.
As in the Seventh, the power of the
organization told in the Eighth. Here
Major Wiley had it all his own way,
except in East Orange, which came
out strong for George H. Austin, the
Progressive candidate Wiley simply
swept the Second, Third. Fifth, Tenth,
Twelfth. Thirteenth, Fourteenth and
cixterth wards of Newark. Austin
at away with the Ninth ward, and
there was about an even break in the
townships. From the time that the re-
turns began to come in 1t was certain
that Wiley would be the winner.
Wiley in Europe, But Friends Active.
The representative of the Eighth,
who is in Europe, left the campaign
here in the hands of his friends, and
they apparently took care of it well
for him.
Another candidate for Congress
backed by the Progr assives went down
In the Fifth District. comprising Union,
Warren ard Morris counties. Con-
glessman Fowler, after having served
eight terms in the House of Repre-
sentatives, met his Waterloo because
he incur ed the displeasure of the Re-
publican organization in his district.
which put up William N. Runyon, OF
Plainfield, TO oppose him.
In Union county Fowler got % dele
rates. while so are for Runyon; in Nor
ris he expected Is delegates to 55 for
Runyon; in Warren he expected IL to
is for Runyon. He will thus have so
delegates in the convention of the fifth
district, which will contain 210.
George L. Record. Progressive Re
publican candidate, probably saved
himself in the Ninth District, defeating
Assistant Prosecutor George 7. Vick-
ers, who was backed by the Rother-
ham organization. Early returns de-
cidedly favored Record. then there was
an array that caut ed everybody to pre-
dict vickers winner, but this after
noon 1t looked as If Record had won.
Unpiedgcd in Tenth, But Regular.
In the Tenth district Taylor, Pro-
gressive, sought to WIN the delegates
for the Republican nomination, but the
organization delegates are in control
and can nominate whom they please.
