TO END TITLE
QUESTION ON
TPROPERTY

Following a decision in the court
of errors confirming the lower court
in awarding judgment for defend
ants in the case of William Fl. Wog-
lom ct al against the City of Perth
Amboy, ct al, Beekman & Spencer,
counsel for the defendants, have de-
cided to bring the matter into the
court of chancery.
In that way an effort will be made
to learn If the tax title held by Ag-
nes NJ. Kant on the property at the
northeast corner of Smith and State
streets, is valid. The contention OF
Messrs. Beekman and Spencer is that
it is invalid.
This will in all probability prove
to be the last leg in the long fight

NEITHER SMITH NOR
MARITIME WILL WIN
General Opinion as Expressed After
Politicians Had Met on FirstCover-
nor's Day at Trenton Yesterday.
PUBLIC OPINION is STRONG

closed doors the question of the SEN
! atorship.
Those who are looking ahead to
the beginning of Governor Wilson's
administration foresee that Senator
} Osborne wffl-be one of the most in
/ fiuential members of the legislature.
According to political custom and
the rule of senatorial courtesy no
appointment of an Essex county
Democrat can be made by Governor
Wilson without the approval of Mr.
Osborne. Any appointment of an
Essex county man that might be pro-
posed by Governor Wilson would not
be confirmed by the senate If Mr..
Osborne should object to it.
AS Senator Osborne is not on
friendly political terms with either
Mr.. Smith or his lieutenant, James
Nugent, chairman of the Democratic
State Committee, 1t, Is evident that
the circumstances in connection with
the disposition of valuable State
patronage to Essex, county are not
very favorable to the Smith-Nugent
camp.
Senator Fielder, of Hudson, was
State House yesterday to be told that
the certified returns on file in the
Secretary of States Office from the
Hudson county clerk show that
James E. MARITIME received 22,O80
votes in the primaries in Hudson
county, in contradiction to Mr.. Field
ers statement that MARITIME received
only 6,165 votes in Hudson. Mr..
Fielder's mistake in quoting the
primary results put serious crimp
in the statement which he issued
Monday, in which he attempted to
argue that Mr.. Marines vote in the
direct primaries was not a represen-
tatiVe one. Senators Fielder and
Osborne and Senator-elect Johnson,
of Bergen, had q long talk together
about the senatorship and other leg
islative affairs. Mr.. Johnson was
not willing yesterday to declare him.
self for publication, but it is under
stood that he is at the present time
opposed to the selection Of Senator
Smith and, in the final test, will be
for Mr. MARITIME The two Bergen
assemblymen-elect, Messrs. Hinners
and Alyea, are also classed as anti
oultH anu idFOfdple 10 MI. mdFtlne.
Dan Fellowes Platt, Democratic State
committeeman from Bergen. who
came down to Trenton with the Ber-
gen legislators, declared in the most
positive terms that Mr., MARITIME
would be elected senator. He said
that the legislature could not in
honor pursue any other course.
Senator Silzer, of MiddleseX, who
was one of the senate committee that
drafted the present primary law as it
affects the senatorial question, was
guarded in his talk about what his
attitude would be-
Only few Democratic assembly
men were about the State House and
none of them was willing to commit
himself on the senatorial question.

Mr.. .Beekman, stockholder, protested
against the payment Of any further sum
to the Campbell estate, eontending that
the $4,000 already paid to Mr.. Camp
bell had amply compensated him for his
services Mr.. Garretson likewise en-
tered a protest against any such Gun
lust allowances. - Mr.. Beekman stated
today that it was an outrage to pay
so much money in receiverships and
said such matters should be regulated
by law. He claimed it an outrage if it
costs about $40, 900 to collect in the
neighborhood of $4,000.
James A. Mcclure was the tempor-
ary receiver of the institution and in
July of 1899 Edward s. Campbell be-
came the regular receiver. He acted

Especial Correspondence J

|
| trenton, Nov. 16-Politicians and
legisla who gathered in the State
House yesterday seeking line as to
how the Democratic administration
OF State affairs is to begin, left the
capitol mainly of the opinion that
former United States Senator James
| Smith, Jr., is already beaten in his
ambition to go back to the upper
chamber of Congress. Although con
| ceding that Mr.. Smith would fail in
his aspirations, there was a feeling
among some Of those who had tried
to get into accurate touch with the
situation that James E. MARITIME
would not be able to realize on the
popular expression In the direct pri-
mary where he received 4S,45S votes
as candidate for United States
senator.
On the other hand, those who had
doubts about Mr.. MARITIME making
the senatorial goal were met with a
display of absolute confidence in his
favor from men who are familiar
with many circumstances in the con-
test that are not known to the public
One Democrat who is taking a very
active interest in the effort to COM
pei the acquiescenee of the legisla-
ture In the results obtained through
the primaries. and who probably
knows as much about the varying in
fiuences which are at work in the
situation as any other man in the
State, said:
"Mr MARITIME will be elected sena-
tor. There is no doubt of this re-
suit at the hands of the Democratic
members of the legislature. | say
this advisedly and with full knowl-
edge of the desperate work that is
being done to bring about contrary
results. Public opinion will do the
work for Mr. MARITIME"
Congressman William Hughes,
who has just been reelected to the
House of Representatives from the
Sixth New Jersey district, was one
of those in the State House who was
confident of Mr.. MARITIME being elect
ed senator.
"The vote at the primaries settled
this question:" said Congressman
Hughes. "It doesn't matter particu-
larIy how many votes Mr.. MARITIME
got or how many votes somebody
else got, or what might have happen
ed If the Democrats had been cock
sure Of having the legislature by ii
big majority on Joint ballot. the fact
is that Mr.. MARITIME was high man ins
the primaries and there is no going
back of the returns. Democratic
members of the legislature are in
honor bound, under all circum-
stances. to vote for him to succeed
John Kean."
Senator Osborne reiterated with
emphasis his primary and ante
election declaration that he would be
bound by the direct primary vote
He again declared that he would not
enter any caucus to settle behind
