BODY Is FOUND
IN WOODBRIDGE
Fastened to Girder Under
Bridge--Is Unidentified.

The body Of an unidentified man, be-
Heved by some to be Patrick Burke, Of
New Brunswick, was found fastened on
a girder under a bridge across Wood
bridge creek on the road between
Woodbridge and Port Reading this
morning.
The body was discovered by Ray
mond Hancock and John Macan, two
boys riding wheels in the direction
Of Roosevelt. They saw the body
fastened to a girder under the bridge
and ran a short distance to notify
some men at work on a pile driver
Workmen loosened the form and took
1t ashore. Coroner Ferd Garretson
was called and he investigated after
which he returned the remains over
to undertaken R. A. Hirner, of Wood
bridge. One of the men who helped
take the body from the water thought
it was the remains Of Patrick Burke,
a New Brunswick fisherman who had
been seen in this city the past two
weeks. Others thought likewise, but
Coroner Garretson has thus far been
unable to identify him.
Coroner Garretson found a bit of
paper with some pencil writing on
it from which he could only discern
the word Sweet, some lunch and
fruit, pocket knife and few other
trinkets in the clothes on the body.
The body did not show signs that
would indicate foul play. 1t ap-
peared he had fallen overheard and
drowned The remains had drifted
in the creek until they collided with
a girder under the bridge to which
the clothes became fastened.
1t is evident the man was of Irish
descent. He was about sixty years
old, about six feet and ten inches
high, had long gray mustache and
about a weeks growth of gray beard,
weighed about 180 pounds and wore
a dark blue suit Of good material,
common blue shirt without collar and
necktie, and common working shoes.

WILL MARITIME
SPEAK HERE =?
Question About His Being
Present at Wilson Club
Mass Meeting night.
SOME ONE PUT HIM WISE
Thomas F. Burke Says He
Will But Organization Men
State to Contrary.
SOME ONE PUT HIM WISE

viii United States Senator Jamos E.
MARITIME be present tonight to speak at
the meeting in Wilder Hall under the
auspices Of the Wilson Clubs
Thomas F. Burke and those planning
for the meeting insist that he will.
The regular Democrat organization
insists that he will not.
While the Wilson Club has announced
that its sole aim is to boom Woodrow
Wilson, the fact that it is backed by
those who favor Thomas F. Burke for
sheriff, and that the regular party or
ganization, which is backing Albert
Bollschweiler for the same nomination,
is not connected with the club, is look
ed upon as significant and the organiza-
tion Democrats think the Wilson Club
is only move to make it appear that
the Burke faction are the only real sup
porters of the governor.
Ever since the mass meeting for to-
night was announced, the regular Demo
Gratis have declared that Senator Mar
tine would never come here. Today
they are positive he will not come and
even go SO far as to state that the SEN
ator has sent telegram to Mr.. Burke
declining to appear.
Burke Denies Receiving Telegram.
When Mr.. Burke was asked if he had
received such a telegram from Senator
MARITIME he denied it positively and said
that he had been in communication with
the senator's representative only q
short time before and had been assured
OF the senator's presence. Mr. Burke
further said that plans for the meeting
are complete, the band is engaged and
the party who is to escort Senator
MARITIME here, is in Plainfeld ready to
receive him.
The regular Democrats declare that
when Senator MARITIME consented to
come here it was with the understand
ing that he was doing so solely in the
interest Of Governor Wilson. They
state that it has been brought to the
senator s attention, however, that those
who are most active in the Wilson Club
of this city, are the men who are back,
ing the boom of Thomas F. Burke for
the nomination for sheriff and that the
Democrat county organization is not in
any way identified with the club. It is
understood that the senator was given
to understand that the county organiza-
ton IS not opposed to Governor Wilson
as, they say, Senator MARITIME was led to
Regulars res, insist, has declined to come
here, fearing that his presence would be
misconstrued. The regulars are positive
that Senator MARITIME has sent teIe-

just returned from a trip lasting TWEEN
