DIRECT PRIMARY VICTORY
Bio Vote in New Jersey Looked
Upon as an Endorsement.
REGULARS SAFE WINNERS
Progressives Badly Defeated IN
Nearly Every Contest-Wltt-
penn Swamped.

Although both the Republican and Demo
cratic regulars were victorious in nearly
every contest at Tuesdays primaries III
New Jersey. the large number Of the Vot-
ers who took part and the interest mani
rested therein are looked upon as a sign oy
omen primary advocates that that system
of nominating candidates has come 10 stay
in New Jersey.
The Republican regulars In Essex oun-
~ captured everything, and the available
returns show 81 9oS Republicans went to the
primaries. In 1907 Governor Fort, as the
Republican candidate for Governor re-
ceived 34f-g votes in Essex. In all the
South Jersey counties there was a big IN
crease in the number of primary voters,
and. although the totals from each county
will not be known for several days, IL Is
confidently nredfcted that more voters
heIped nominate the candidates of their
PARTY this YEAR than at any time since the
law was passed.
The number of votes received by Repre-
sentative Fowler as a candidate for United
States Senator in Essex County Is consid-
cred remarkable. He had the support OF
the Progressfves there, and his total OF
1924 compares with Il, 423 given TO ex-
Governor Franklin Murphy, also a can
didate for United States Senator, Vho lives
in the county.
The regulars nominated all their can
didates in Essex. and so did the Democratic
machine of the 20.0n0 Democratic votes
cast not more than 5000 going to the Har-
rigan anti-machine candidates The long
ballots and the many names thereon made
the task of counting them tedious, and
arCiS
O'Clock yesterday morning before they
had finished In a few cases the boards
tired of the work and went home for
few hours sleep. returning later in the
day to finish the count
In Hudson County, too. the returns
drihbled in slowly. the long ballots in some
cases containing the names of more than
eighty candidates. and it was long after
daylight before many Of the election boards
completed their count The Republican
regulars say they have won all the county
nominations. and assert that they have
ma forfty Of fifty in the county committee
Prosecutor Pierre P. Garven, who is the
candidate of the regulars for the Republi-
can nomina ton for Governor. declares that
80 of the 173 delegates to which Hudson is
entitled will be for him. This would give the
regulars control of the delegation and en-
a Bile them 10 select the chairman.
But the New Idea men. on the other
hand assert that they have carried Hudson
County. including the Assembly ticket.
The Democratic machine in Hudson over
wheImngly defeated the followers OF
Mayor II. Otto Wittpenn of jersey City.
Wittpenn is a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Governor. but at Tues
days primaries only sixty-three delegates
out of a total of 23s We're elected by the
Wittpenn followers. The machine even
succeeded in defeating Wittpenn in his own
voting precinct by the narrow margin Of
three votes.

cations Decision.

The public high school boys can thank the
new football rules for their chance to play
the game this fall. Last year the Board OF
Education decided that the game as then
PLAYED was too dangerous. hut as James E
Sullivan put in a clause that read under
the existing rules or something 10 that
effect. small loophole was still left 10 the
lovers of the dashing game. The rules
have been changed now. and General
George ". Wingate announced yesterday
at the meeting of the Board of Education
that. after conference he had had with
Mr. Sullivan and Superintendent W. H.
Maxwell. IT had been decided that the boys
could play this year.
we will let them try the rules which are
said 70 be constructed SO as to avoid IN

SENATE RACE UNCERTAIN
Returns Thus Far Show Stokes
and Murphy About Even.
by Telegraph to The Tribune.


Trenton, \. J., Sept. 1.-THE result of
Yesterdays primary elections as regards
the popular choice for United States Sena-
tor on the Republican side. is so close as
to be still In doubt. First returns indi-
Gated that Ex-Governor Franklin Murphy
had received more votes in the state than
either Ex-Governor Edward c. Stokes or
Representative Charles \. Fowler. but as
outlying districts. particularly in southerly
counties. began to be heard from the Muir
phv plurality dwinded while the Stokes
figures crept steadily upward
About the State House tonight il was
thought to be nearly an even break be-
tween Stokes and Murphy, with the
chances slightly in flavor of Stokes. An
estimate based on figures collected during
the day indicated that Stokes had pOlled
81 90 votes as against $4,000 for Murphy,
exclusive of Hudson and a few smaller
counties, for which only approximate fig
ures had been given.
No figures Of an official character were
obtainabIe from Hudson, which, however,
was said TO have given Murphy substan-
tial ma iorlty as against Stokes. On the
other hand Stokes is believed 10 have
pOIled a considerable vote in districts still
TO be heard from
One Of the noteworthy features Of the
contest was that while Murphy and Fowler
got the bulk of their votes in few soun-
ties notably Essex Hudson, Union and
Atlantic Ex-Governor Stokes made no re-
markabIe showing in any single commu
ni+v His vote was scattered throughout the
entire state the strongest support coming
from Mercer in which he polled 1900 votes.

the latter believed TO be foreign wearing
apparel. but Mr. Higgins would not change
the papers
Deputy Surveyor Smyth had Mr.. Higgins
before him yesterday morning for the first
examination. The YOnkers manufacturer
said that he did not declare a lot of stuff
because he had worn ii abroad and thought
that he was entitled TO bring it in free.
Mr. Smyth called attention to the customs
instructions, which are distributed on ship
board, these referring IointedIy 10 the fact
that goods bought abroad, if worn. are not
free from duty on that account
Mr.. Higgins was instructed 10 go TO the
Appraisers stores with an inspector, SO
that the value of the goods might be esta b.
ished. This done, he returned 10 the Gus

Legislature Mr.. OdeH never asked me to
vote one way or the other, but told me
to use my own judgment"
At that time, GoodseIl said, he vas
executor of a large estate He thought
maybe the money he advanced came
from that. He said if the estate owed
him money he would be perfectly willing
to advance its funds in that fashion.
Rogers, somehow, kept delaying pay
ment to GoodseI of the money adj
vanced. GoodseIl asked him about it
coca sfonally, but Rogers kept putting
him off" At last, on April 23 of the
next year the day the Legislature ad-
iourned. the amount was placed TO his
credit at Ellingwood & Cunningham's

he said.

Bruce brought out the information that
Graham had met Goodseil in the Fifth
Avenue Hotel and had told him he could
place two thousand shares at Il. An
agreement was made on that basis, and
GoodselI began to accumulate the stock
from his friends. He saw in it only a
good piece of business real bargain
as the stock was much lower in the
market He didn't see anything out of
the way in it at all. He didn't question
Mr. Graham's part in the affair; he had
known Graham pretty well for con-
siderab BILE time. he said. The draft for
$4,000 which paid for the stock was
drawn on a New York City bank Good
sell said he couldn't remember which.
He deposited it in his Highland Falls
bank He did not feel in the least curl

Judge Bruce in the course of his in

supposed to have some bearing on the
Trans" affairs. GoodselI apparently
never had heard of it, and didn't know

Roosevelt.
Just a the end of GoodseIl's ordeal
Judge Bruce produced snapper in
the way of 5000 item not appearing

ex-senator if he remembered receiving
that amount about July y, 1903. On
that. as on many other items, Goodseu
didn't remember. He didn't remember
receiving any letters about that time re-

Judge Bruce read a copy of a letter
dated July %, addressed TO him, asking
him to call at Ellingwood & Cunning

Two Trains Take
Sixteenth Away
on Trip to Coast
Big Regiment Bids Farewell to Fort
Crooks on Its Way to
,.. Alaska.

Two. special trains bore away from Fort
Crook Wednesday afternoon the officers
and men of the Sixteenth infantry. In
heavy marching order these soldiers
boarded the cars which also carried the
lmpediments OF the regiment.
Embarkation was all orderly affair, as
might have been expected and while NOV
ing a whole regiment is a considerable
preparation, 1t was accomplished without
delay and with military precision.
The first train under command Of Colonel
Cornelius Gardener pulled away at D.
m. The second, leaving an hour later, was
In command OF Captain Joseph T. Gohn.
Both trains 90 to Denver, where the regi-
ment will divide into three and ride thus
to Seattle, where transports will carry
the soldiers to Alaska. Seattle will be
reached June q or 2S
Unusually friendly relations have been
established between garrison and towns
people and whilesthe new regiment will be
cordially welcomed, the departing one will
be sadly m ssed.
The Sixteenth had quota of young bach
elor officers larger than the ordinary and
the leaving of the regiment is the cause
Of more or less heartache on the part of
some Omaha girls prominent in society.
