WANT NUGENT EXPELLED
Movement on to Eliminate Him
as Committee Member.

From the Regular Correspondent OFT Irihnn"I
Sea Girt. y. T.. Aug. 12-NOtWithstandng
the fact that James r. Nugent was ousted
from the Craftsmanship Of the Democratic
State Committee Of New Jersey last Thurs
DAY. he still retains his membership IN that
body. and q movement has been started by
some OF Governor Wilson's friends 10 have
him expelled from the committee at It's
meeting AT Trenton a week from Thursday.
The anxiety of tho friends Of the Gov
ernor TO get Nugent entirely out OF the
committee is due 10 tho discovery that IN
der the recently adopted Geran law the
members Of both the Republican and the
Democratic state committees hold over for
two wears more and as it IS expected by
the Governors friends that no will be the
next nominee Of his party for President. II
is felt that Nugent should be eliminated
entirely from any part in the campaign
that year. The Geran law provides that
members OF state committees shall be
chosen the same year that a Governor IS
elected and that they shall hold over until
their successors are chosen
What is bothering the Governors friends,
however. is just how 10 get Mr.. Nugent out
Of the committee Up 70 date the secre-
tary has been unable 20 find COPY Of the
