As the Majestic approached the
bridge there came chugging UP the
stream In an opposite direction the
m%otorboat. In 1t were seven people.
The Staten Island party had been over
to Jersey City to visit friends at IS
McAdoo street. Speeding noiselessly
came the big excursion boat, with the
pillars of the bridge hiding 1t from the
view of Kinfnger, the owner of the
motorboat, who was acting as pilot.
James Burke. of Bayonne, the pilot
of the Majestic, and Kinfinger saw the
danger too late. With the speed for
which h Is famous-she Is acknowl-
edged to be the fastest excursion boat
in these waters-the Majestic sailed
through the open draw right plumb into
the motor boat.
For a brief moment none knew what
had happened, it was so dark. There
was a crash of timbers inc a grating

WRIGHT WILL NOT
run ON HARR|GAN
ASSEMBLY TICKET
Leaves the Race Because In
d0rsement Is Given Sheriff's
GnbernatoriaI Boom.

Former AssemblymHn Edward III
Wright. ir., who had agreed to accept
the Endorsement of the William Har
rigan Association for the Assembly
nomination, today declined to permit
the use of his name, having learned
that the association favors the nom
nation OF Sheriff Harrigan for gov.
ernor, while he favors the nomination
of Woodrow Wilson as the Democratic
candidate.
The Harrigan Association petition,
which was not filed until last night,
contained the names OF the following
Democratic rivals to candidates in
dorsed by the County Democratic Conn
mittee:
For county supervisor. John A.
Mofnt, of Orange; for county reg
isters Owen F. Conlon, OF Newark;
for Assembly. John c. Matthews.
Edward H. Wright, jr., Charles b.
Clancy. Thomas F. Burning, T. ]. d.
Smith, Thomas Donovan. John A.
Spielman, Newark; Jacob 6. Becker,
Orange: Otto Hoersler, East Orange;
John L. Johnson, Verona; Carl Fentz-
laff. P~leasantdale.
Union President.
John A. Motif, the Harrigan candi-
date for supervisor, is president of the
United Hatters of America. The Har-
rigans are likely to have a Board OF
Works candidate in the person OF
George Dlcker, of the Third Ward.
They have Endorsed Edward w. Town
send, of the Seventh District. and
Walter / Mccoy, Of the Eighth Dis
trict, as candidates for Congress.
The withdrawal of Mr.. Wright leaves
a vacancy on the Harrigan ticket that
cannot be flied and insures the nom
nation of at least one OF the regular
Democratic Assembly aspirants. even
IL the Harrigan ticket should win out
at the primaries.
The Endorsement of Conlon by the
Harriganites assures him an element
of support that might otherwise be
divided between the Eighth ward can
didate and Joseph McDonough, OF West
Orange, who also filed his petition for
register late yesterday afternoon.
When Mr.. Wright agreed to accept
the associations Endorsement he had
an idea that the H~arriganites were
simply running a list Of Assembly,
county and local candidates in oppo-
sition to the county organization list
of approved candidates.
When he learned today that one Of
the primary purposes of the associa-
ton this year was the election of dele
gates favorable to the nomination of
Sheriff Harrigan for governor, Mr..
Wright informed Under-sheriff Reilly
that. inasmuch as he desired to see
the president Of Princeton University
named by the Democrats, he could not
on a ticket favoring another
candidate.
About the same time that the Harri-
gan petitions were filed the county
clerks Office received a Communication
from the secretary Of state announcing
the receipt of three additional petitions
for United States senatorial indorse-
ment-Charles N. Fowler and James z.
MARITIME. Of Union county. and Frank
McDermit. of Essex county.

apparatus, and with the official increase
in population the Police Board will now
be empowered to add more men.
East Orange has a government that
is claimed to be one Of the best in the
State, and the men holding office are of
the best citizenship. 1t has d mag
nif1cent water plant In White Oak
Ridge hat supplies water given a high
rating; streets that are considered
among the best in the country and
visited regularly by of1ciai5 from all
sections; a series Of Fairgrounds that
has given the city an ehviable reputa-
ton In this regard, and can boast of
having more churches than saloons.
The financial standing of the city is
such that when the recent panic was
troubling many municipalities In tho
selling Of bonds it had no difficulty in
the market and all the bonds were
eagerly purchased. Having a shade
tree commission and other features of
interest to prospective residents, the
city has never found 1t necessary to
beg for newcomers within its borders.

found of Humes. the engineer. He was
in the wreckage Of the launch.
AS the rescued persons were brought
aboard the Majestic the excitement In
creased. 1t was seen that Mrs. Kopp
was dying. Among the passengers
were two nurses, and they knelt beside
her and did everything to bring her
back to consciousness.
Then occurred a most dramatic
| scene. Someone suggested that the
passengers pray for her recovery, and

bowed their heads in prayer. Mrs.
Kopp died before the Majestic reached
Newark.

r. Salmon, there was no one present
more confident of the election of "Viv"
Lewis for governor than State Water
| Commissioner George F. Wright and
Edward j. Moore, of Passaic and Pat
erson, respectively. Both were ready
to claim an almost unanimous vote for
"Viv'' in Passaic county. and there
were no Democrats from that section
present to dispute It.
While a roll-call Of the county would
show few absentees, there were many
among them, notably Major Carl Lentz
and Lathrop Anderson, whose presence
was missed. They were expected to
participate in the mystery ace with
OAR for the county Craftsmanship, or
something like that, and their absence
necessitated the omission OF that inn
portant event.
The buriest men on the grounds by
far were Chairman Francis B. Knott,
Of the general committee, and Judge
Benjamin F. Jones, who was in per-
sonal charge OF the games and chief aid

In the afternoon the baseball nine

Judge BENJAMIN F. Jones, who was

to do. The final was 4 to 3.
Freeholder William Evans, known on
the diamond as bill Evans" pitched
for the winners. He was batted hard
in the first inning. due to being a bit
fatigued after winning the race for

pole contest, and the official in charge
declared that forty-three competed.
For the pig there was a Wild scramble

court, was when several husky GO. p.

Shortly after he left Mrs. Hchhorn

two violin cases. She went to a nearby
corner. where a cab was in waiting, and
she was driven to, the home of her

1t was learned today that the violin
cases contained two vioiins, valued
at $500 and the other $1,000. They are

their monetary value.
