CONTINUED from page u
In Monmouth county Stokes got
more than 1900 votes, with Murphy
and Fowler hardly showing.
In Union county Stokes got more
than 2,000~yotes, with Fowler run
ming well up 10 him, but Fowler was
beaten for the delegates for con-
gress.
Judge William Runyon got the
delegates in the Fifth congressional
district away from Fowler, thus
scoring a victory for State Treasurer
Daniel s.. voorhees, and United
States Senator Kean, who opposed
Fowler's ambition in this respect.
Fowler loses in the congressional
fight for return to the lower house
and as the popular choice of the
people for the upper house.
In Hudson county the progress
sives won for their assembly ticket
over~the regulars and the Dickinson
factions, and. on the democratic side
of the game Bob" Davis beat out
handily the Wittpenn faction. This
means that the Hudson delegates
will be under the control of Davis
for the gubernatorial convention
here tomorrow, and rs Davis is for
the candidacy of Woodrow Wilson,
this winning seals the fate Of Frank
S. Katzenbach, Jr., of this city, for
the nomination.
On the United States senatorial
question Fowler ran 2 to / with
Stokes, with Murphy hardly showing
in the returns.
Up in Morris county the regular
republicans won everything and the
vote for United States senator ran
about wen between Stokes and Muir
ply.
Gloucester county showed $500
votes for Stokes, with the Murphy
and Fowler vote hardly counting.
The Loudenslager faction won their
legislative ticket against the Avis
faction ticket, but Avis won out for
member Of the county ticket.
Down in Cumberland county As
semblyman Isaac T. Nichols has de-
feated Samuel Fithian for the sena-
torial nomination, thus beating the
Stokes ticket for both the senate
and the assembly. Nichols ran
heavy in Bridgeton, but late last
night the Fithian people were claim
ing that Nichols had only 800 ma
jority In Bridgeton, with Fithian
having 500 in Melville and Vine
land, and with the townships break
ing even on the returns.
In Cape May the Hand faction
beat out Stf1le In the legislative
fight and 1.-The county gave 1900
votes for Stokes. Both factions cast
their votes for stokes and his ma
jority there is handsome. No Muir
ply or Fowler votes were cast.
Up in Passaic county the regulars
won handsomely against the New
Idea people for their assembly ticket
and for the delegates to the guber-
material. convention, and Stokes ran
more than 500 votes ahead of Muir
ply, his next highest opponent.
Down in Camden the late returns
showed that the voters took no In
terest in the United States senator
fight, there being. about 800 votes
polled for Stokes and Murphy. Still,
the returns from this county are SO
small that any sort of a surprise
might come from that quarter.
David Baird, the leader Of the coun-
ty, said last Monday that this would
be the result, as the people there
did not believe in this sort of method
of getting around the federal consti-
tuition.
The democrats, as indicated by
the returns, did not take much in
terest In the United states senator
ship preference. In this county they
polled only 991 votes for MARITIME
and 247 votes for McDermit.
Governor Stokes said early this
morning that he only desired the ex-
preston of the will of the people
and that ~herswould be for the man
getting the highest number of votes.
Fowler Men Defeated.

selle and Linden.
William N. Runyon, the Kean
candidate, ran we'll In P%lainheld, his
home town, Westfeld, the small Dor
oughs- and the lower section of this
city. He also carried many delegates
in Morris county, the home of Dan
lei S. Voorhees,, who bitterly opposed
Fowler. Today it is admitted that
Fowler has been badly beaten.
The Fowler assembly candidates
In Union, Hoagland and Wurfel,
were defeated by the regulars.
