and he desires 1t so understood, the
chancellor will not discuss his possible
candidacy for any office.
The Progressives arrived early and
were very much in evidence all day,
and did what they considered as a
considerable amount Of hustling in be-
half of the Martin boom. That was
particularly true of George l.. Record
n former Mayor Mark M. Pagan, of
Hudson. and william Fellowes Morgan.
Walter +. Simpson, Edward Ward,
Philip c.. Walsh and a score of others
from this county.
They were in frequent conference
with pprominent regulars from various
sections of the State and received
many assurances of support, which, al
though, perhaps. rendered in a Pick
wickian sense only, were accepted as
rather encouraging. When the EVE
MING STAR. the first afternoon paper
to a camp, arrived. the Progress
sives accepted the story of possible
Regular support of Martin as being his
prophetic as Cart6onist Johnson's idea
of what may happen in the Brientnall-
Sadler controversy.

AS Usual the cottage of Quartermas-
ter-General Edward B. Murray was
the Mecca of every politician who
visited the camp, whether Republican,
Democrat or Prohibitionist, 1t was
there that conferences galore were held.
and when they were all over it was
the general opinion that while an ele-i
ment Of doubt still exists, Vivian M.
Lewis. of Passaic, and Woodrow vii.
SON., of Mercer. look very much like
the prospective Republican and Demo-
cratic nominees for Governor.
This does not mean that the other
candidates named and who are still in
the race are eliminated by any
Senator George S. Silzer, Of Midd,esex,
and, Mayor H. Otto Wittpenn, of Hud-
son, were the only Democrats present,
and both had q number of warm sup
porters on hand, with Silzer apparently
in the lead. Oliver Kelly, State com
mitteeman from Middlesex, believes
that Silzer will go to the convention
with~a solid delegation from his coun-
ty and considerable support from Mon
mouth, Mercer and some of the south
ern counties.
Former Senator Hinchliffe has an
idea that Silzer will nave at least a
majority of the Passaic delegation and
would prove the most available candl-
date against Lewis in North Jersey.
Wittpenn expressed confidence CT
carrying more than a safe majority of
the Hudson delegation n having a
large following in several other sections
of the State. The fact of his friends
having excluded a number of Demo-
Gratis with police aid from a meeting
called to indorse him was freely com
mented on.
MIR. Katzenbach Is Strong.
Frank 8. Katzenbach had a number
of friends present, who still regard him
as exceptionally strong\ in South Jer-
sey, but they accept his utterance at
the Mercer county Democratic outing
as final and no longer regard him as
an active candidate for the nominal
ton. State Chairman Nugent carefully
~refrained from expressing a prefer
ence, and General Denis F. Collins, of
Union; Surrogate David s. Crater. of
Monmouth, and other members of the
State Democratic Committee were
equally reticent while apparently hop
ing for victory.
In fact, the leaders on both sides
seemed extremely chary of expressing
an opinion wherever the semblance
of a contest exists, except so far as the
Fifth congressional district is con-
cerned. Uncle Dan Voorhees,, who
looks after Morris and Warren counties.
while Ham, Kean takes care Of the
Union end of the district, NAL 1t quite
plain that Congressman Fqs er, in
