HEBREWS HAVE
LIVELY SESSION
Democratic Club Is Address
ed by Mayor BoIIschweiler
Who Is Finally Endorsed.
SOME ARE OPPOSED
Burke Has Many Friends in
Organization Who Will
Not Let Matter Drop.

Interesting facts relative to the
coming election were brought forth
at meeting of the Hebrew Demo-
cratic Club in Kish's Hall in State
street last night. Not only was the
coming election prominent in the
discussions, but revelations of the
past we're unearthed in addresses
by Mayor Albert Bollschweiler and
Nathan Roth
The meeting was a lively one at
times, caused by the efforts to en-
dorse nominee for sheriff. After a
vote, Mayor Albert Bollschweiler
was selected, but the dissension
among sona of the members present
indicated that the decision was not
unanimous and that Thomas F.
Burke had a great many friends in
the organization.
The meeting opened at o'clock
with Tube Dimond presiding. After
routine business had been tran
sacted the chairman informed the
members that it would be a rare
privilege of the club to have the
mayor address them, not as a can
didate for sheriff, but as the chief
executive of our city. Accordingly,
Leo Schwartz and julius Klein were
named a committee to bring the
mayor to the gathering. In lets
than five minutes Mr.. Bollschweiler
was on the platform.
Mayor Talks Politics.
The mayor talked on political
matters and ridiculed the sugges-
ton that a deal was on where the
assembly was to be turned down by
the Democrat party for the sake of
electing any one man. Applying
the rumors afloat relative to Mr.
Joselson's petition for the assembly,
the mayor said that Mr.. Joselson
had been picked by the committee
as a representative of the Hebrews
Of the county and that he would re-
ceive the entire support of the
party.
The mayor also divulged the Sc
cret long kept silent relative to the
proposed appointment of Tube Di-
SCISSORS several years ago. Mr.
Bollschweiler said that he promised
Mr.. Dimond this position and
worked for it. He placed his name
before the county chairman and all
was going smoothly when the labor
unions protested against Mr.. Di-
mond. When this protest was
brought before the mayor he again
worked for Mr. Dimond, but could
not overcome the strength of the
unions, hence Mr.. Dimond did not
receive his promised appointment.
Nathan Roth Speaks.
Mr.. Roth, candidate for nomina-
tion for Freeholder, made some
very pointed remarks relative to the
refusal of Mayor Hermann, of
Roosevelt, to accept the nomination
for freeholder. Instead of trying
for the place, said Mr.. Roth, he de-
liberately sent the honor to his
cousin, Mr.. Casey. Mr.. Roth ex-
planned that it is a we'll known fact
Mr.. Hermann is a contractor in
building roads and with his cousin
on the board Mr.. Roth thinks he
could scoop all Of the county road
construction. Mr.. Roth received
rounds of applause at the end Of his
talk. Harry Medinets then gave an
explanation of the Geran bill.
Wanted Mr.. Burke Present.
At one time it looked as if the
meeting would break up in great
disorder. Max Leichtman said that
it would be only fair that Thomas
F. Burke should be invited as long
as the mayor was going to be pres
ent. At this suggestion Leo
Schwartz jumped to his feet and said
that the mayor informed him that
If Mr.. Burke was going to be there
he would not come.
BY the motions made at last
nights session 1t is plain. said one
of the members. that anyone will
be endorsed by the club to further
the election of Jacob Joselson to
the assembly. Bollschweiler was
named as the choice because it was
his faction of the party that is back
ing Joselson and the Hebrews are
doing their utmost to elect josef
son, said several of the members
who asked for a square deal.
Talk of Independent Club.
At the end of the meeting which
adjourned after eleven O'Clock, a
number of the Burke followers came
togther and discussed the situation.
Some claim that if the decision of
