Receive Republican Endorsement For
United States Senator.
Returns from the New Jersey pri.
mary election show that former Gov
ernor Franklin Murphy is leading for
mer Governor T.. c. Stokes for the Re-
publican Endorsement for the United
States senatorship to succeed John
Kean.
Governor Murphy's vote was heavy
IN Essex county. which includes the
city OF Newark. and In Atlantic county.
The count is slow. and Stokes friends
believe that final figures will show
that Stokes IL the winner.
Information from the Fifth congress.
sionai district indicates that a major.
| ity OF the delegates elected to the Re-
publican congressional convention will
favor the nomination OF Judge William
N. Runyon against Congressman
Charles n. Fowler. who has been con-
spicuous In congress as an anti-Can-
non man. Mr. Fowler was opposed In
the primary by State Treasurer voor-
hoes and Senator Kean.
| The vote In Essex county and In
Hudson. which includes Jersey City,
was very heavy. and the voters as a
rule expressed their preference on the
senatorship. This Is true OF the voting
throughout the state except in Cam
den county. where David Baird. the
South Jersey leader. resides. Mr..
Baird wants to go to the United States
senate. but did not enter the primar-
les. On this account his supporters in
Camden refrained from expressing any
choice as between Stokes. Murphy and
Congressman Charles n. Fowler
| On the Democratic side the vote was
very light and probably does not rep
resent 10 per cent of the Democratic
vote In the state James T.. MARITIME
has decided lead over Frank NJ Nc
Dermit for the senatorial endorsement.
Returns from Essex county renom.
mate Congressman II. Wayne Parker
who was opposed in the Republican
primaries by Editor Rowland. of the
Outlook.
Congressman Wiley. another regular
Republican In the other Essex dis
trict. was also renominated.
! The vote in Essex county was decid-
eddy In favor OF the regular organiza-
tions on both the Republican and the
Democratic sides.
| In Hudson county Mayor Wittpenn.
of Jersey City. who wants to be the
Democratic candidate for governor.
got eighty delegates out OF total OF
235.
| Democratic State Chairman James
r. Nugent. OF Newark. declares that
Dr. Woodrow Wilson. president OF
Princeton university. will have nearly
1000 votes on the first ballot in the
gubernatorial convention. The total
vote in the convention Is 400.
The supporters of Frank S. Katzen-
bach. Jr.. in Mercer county dispute the
claims OF Mr.. Nugent and insist that
more than 500 of the delegates In the
convention will be against Dr. Wilson.
and they expect that on the second
ballot these votes will concentrate on
Mr.. Katzenbach. The latter was the
unsuccessful candidate for governor at
the last state election.
| One Of the difficulties In the way OF
making a correct estimate is that out
side OF Hudson and Essex counties
practically all the delegates have been
chosen without a contest and without
being pledged. There are more than
300 delegates In this category.
Vivian NJ Lewis ran ahead in prac-
tically all counties, and probably will
be nominated for governor by the Re
publican convention next Tuesday.
