MERCER HAS
STARTED TO
BACK WILSON
sDee4aI to the Et .NluG IS.

spscia! to the EI.N.nG IS.
Trenton. Aug, 1.-The death
blow that Former Mayor Frank S.
Katzenbach, Jr., delivered to his.
gubernatorial boom at the demo-
cratic outing here Wednesday, has
completely disheartened his Mercer
county supporters. His s%taunchest
friends and hackers were sorely dis
appointed that they now declare
they will make no fight for the dele
gates.
Mr., Katzenbach so decidedly de-
clared himself cut out of the race
as to leave no alternative to the
Mercer county leaders who now con-,
cede that State Committeeman
Charles H. Gallagher, of this coun-
ty, was the wisest one sof the lot
when he originally took the former
candidate at his word and said that
Mercer would be for Woodrow Will
son.
There are nothing but excuses
during the last few days for the
persistent undecisiveness of Mr..
Katzenbach, whom all the leaders
believe really wanted the nomina-
ton when there was a possible
chance of his getting IT, and only
lacked the courage to positively de-
clare himself.
Then they argue, he was forced
later on by his own peculiar atti-
tude, to persist in an attempt TO ig-
more the faithful support of his fol-
lowers, only to lead himself into an
unaccountable error at the Mercer
county outing, where he asserted,
that he did not want the nomination.
This has completely upset the pre-
vious plans Of some Of the lesser
lights in the local organization who,
at first, believed it wise to run Mr..
Katzenbach whether he was willing
or not.
Although Gallagher insists that
Mercer will be for Wilson when the
convention assemblies, the original
Katzenbach supporters are about
equally divided upon the nomination
as between Mayor Wittpenn and
State Senator George S.. Silzer, OF
Middlesex county. At this time it
would appear that Senator Silzer has
considerable the best Of the situa-
ton. This is caused by Silzer being
very well acquainted with the Mer-
Ger leaders, having on numerous. oc-
casions looked out for their legis-
lation and fought local bills in the
senate which were aimed to injure
the local democrats.
Judge Howard Carrow, of Cam
den, and Mr.. Gallagher had a long
conference here on Saturday night,
but neither would make public the
matters discussed.

REPAIRING
THE ROADS OF
THE COUNTY

New Brunswick, Aug. 1:-Oil on
county roads is getting a thorough
try-out in Middlesex county this
year, nearly all the repair work now
under way being done with that ma
terial as a binder for the stone and
gravel used. So far excellent sat
isfaction has been given.
In addition a new road was re-
Gently laid on Seventh avenue, Pts
Getaway township, with Amasite, a
patent pavement which includes an
asphalt binder, and which has Civ
en- thorough satisfaction. A similar
pavement is being laid on the road
from ROgan's corner on the Metu-
chen-Perth Amboy road, through
Keasbey to the car barns in Perth
Amboy, which work is rapidly near
ing completion.
James De Hart, the county road
supervisor. gave an interesting state
ment of the repair work being done
on the county roads. The highways
this spring were in bad repair and
the county officials have been hard
pressed to make repairs as fast as
conditions demanded.
/ The Old Bridge turnpike has
been repaired with gravel" Mr.. De
Hart said, land We have oiled the
Dayton, Monmouth Junction and
Kingston road, the Cranbury turn
pike has been repaired and oiled
from the Mercer county line to Black
Horse tavern, and l expected the en-
tire work to be completed in about
a week.
fnCTGrdO uro az orfA1 tn nt1 NIo
River Road from Bound Brook to
New Brunswick, and we are also
putting oil and screenings on the
Stelton-New Market road.
AS soon as we get through with
the Cranbury turnpike we will start
repairing Livingston avenue from
Hale street to Livingston Park. then
take up Easton avenue from the
county end to the Landing. George
street from Hamilton out, is to be
oiled.
On the New Brunswick-Metu-
chen road from Feller's hotel to Me-
tuchen oil and screenings are being
put down, and the work is nearly
complete, and similar work is being
done on Main street, South River.
On the Jamesburg-Dayton road,
which has become badly travelled,
new gravel is being laid.
Another jub under way is the re-
pairing of the Perth Amboy-Metu-
chen road, where inch and a half
stone and coarse screenings are be-
ing placed, practically making a new
road in many places.
For the Rahway-Menlo Park
road, about which Commissioner
Glikyson was inquiring at a recent
meeting Of the freeholders, stone
has been ordered, and as soon as it
arrives We will start work. This
road is full of holes and will have
a coat Of oil and a good top dress
ing.
"On the Iselin-Oak Tree-Metu-
chen road we found the bitches had
filled up and the water was running
down the middle of the road. wash
ing it out badly The bitches are
being cleaned out, preparatory to
making repairs.
'"On the road from the bridge APP
proach in South Amboy TO Stevens
avenue on the Morgan station road,
oil and screenings are being placed
within the South AmbOy city limits,
and oil and gravel outside"
Mr.. De Hart mentioned a number
of other roads of more or less i'm
portance, which are also being i'm
proved, including the Cranbury-
Cranbury station, Jamesburg-Eng-
lishtown, Old Bridge-South Amboy,
and other highways.
