JOEL PARKERS"
At OUTING TALK
OF COUNTY TICKET
Contest Over Nomination for
Register May Go to Sep
TENDER Primaries.

In accordance with a custom eStaD-
lished many years ago a list of candi-
dates for county offices here in Essex,
which has invariably received the sup
port of the Democratic organization on
election day. was determined upon yes
terday during the annual outing of
the Joel Parker Association.
In the old days the selections were
made in a tentative way only, because
all candidates were nominated in con-
yention. and delegates occasionally
changed their opinions. For the last
seven years it has been different. The
direct primary law necessitates the
organization expressing an opinion in
advance, and that Is what was done
yesterday, subject to ratification to-
morrow night by the County Demo-
cratic Committee.
Should the slate as now arranged
stand 1t will req as follows:
The County slate.
For member of Congress-Seventh
district, Edward w. Townsend, of
Montclair; Eighth district, Walter l.
Mccoy, of South Orange.
Fer County Register. Harry Hull,
of Nutley.
For County Supervisor-Dr. Oswald
H. Roth, of Newark.
For Mayor of Newark-Jacob Hauss-
ing.
For Board Of Works-Patrick II.
Ryan, of the Fifth ward.
For Mayor Of O~range-Arthur B. Sey-
mour.
For Members of Assembly-Frank "A.
Boettner, Newark: John J. B. Bracken,
Orange; Edward d. Baliantine, New
ark; Charles w. Brown, East Orange;
Harry F. Backus, Caldwell; Michael
Leveen, Newark; Michael ]. MCGOWAN,
Newark; William P. Macksey, New
ark; William H. Barkhorn, Newark;
James P. Mylod, Glen Ridge; Mark M,
Phillips, Newark.
Except for the nominations for
county register and supervisor, the
others mentioned appeared eminently
satisfactory, but there may be material
opposition to the selections for the
county berths at the county committee
meeting. So far as the register is con-
cerned 1t will reach the primaries,
where owen f.. Conlon and others per-
haps will contest the organization selec-
ton of Mr.. Hull.
Several other names were mentioned
for that office, and MI. Hull was agreed
upon as a matter of e~xpediency rather
than the real choice of a majority 81
either the campaign or executive com
mittee of the organization. John F.
Monahan was the favorite n James
P. Mylod had numerous supporters, but
both expressed a willingness to step
III x-4.1. aeo xrrAro advanced for
the selection Of Hull.
Fight Mt Primaries.
1t is not so, however, with some OF
the other candidates, including Conlon,
who is determined to fight 1t out at the
primaries. Thomas C. Curran, of the
Tenth ward, has O. following below the
railroad that insists on his nomination
now that Monahan is out. and they
may force the fight into the county
committee meeting.
Friends of John P. Curtin, of the
Seventh ward, are in a similar mood
and If the issue is opened, as antici-
pated, Joseph McDonough n Frank
O'Connor, of West Orange. may con-
clude to enter the race. If so, 1t /!
probable that the list of candidates fol
the nomination for register nay be as
numerous as the shrievalty candidates
were two years ago
The nomination of DR.. Roth fol
supervisor was more surprising tt
Eighth ward leaders, where he resides
than to Democrats from other section!
of the county. John B. Oelkers and
Adolph Fisch, both residents of TIN
same ward, had been mentioned fol
the place. but the name of DR.. Roti
had not been heard of in connection
with the nomination until yesterday.
Among the meny distinguished guest
whose presence left a decided impress
sion on the gathering were forme
Mayor Frank S. Katzenbach, of Tren
ton; Mayor H. Otto Wittpenn of Jerse.
City, and Sheriff William Harrigan. a
Of whom have been mentioned in cor
nection with the Democratic nomina
ton for governor.
DIR. Wilson still strong.
Their presence did not in any wa
minimize the generally expressed pref
erence for Woodrow Wilson, but 1t di
, indicate the possible strength of.eacl
as well as that of Senator George
Silzer. the remaining Democratic "a
