IlklnN m GRAND .IUBV
HAS SUMMONED HUGENT

Elizabeth, Sept. 12:-When the
Union County Grand Jury convened
yesterday Keneral Denis F. Collins,
of this city, and James R. Nugent,
former chairman of the Democratic
State Committee, were both on
hand, apparently in response TO sub
poena or summons.
The presence of the two men gave
rise to a rumor that the Grand jury
planned an investigation of asser-
tons made by Nugent IN a state
ment given publicity after he was
ousted from the State Craftsmanship.
These assertions were to the effect
that Collins, facing Grand Jury in
vestigation, had sought aid from
Nugent, that Nugent had interested
himself in the matter, and Collins,
in consequence, had been saved
from indictment.
Both were waiting outside the
juryroom today. Collins sat quietly
on a bench, while Nugent, most of
the time, was ~nervously pacing up
and down. Each seemed to ignore
the presence OF the other. either
would say anything for publication.

c. Q. P. STATE
COMMITTEE
Call for Meeting to be Is
sued by Briggs.
Special BIZ Enited Preas Wir..

Trenton, Sept. 12.-United States
Senator Frank o. Briggs, as chair
man of the Republican state commit
tee, will probably Issue, later today,
a call for a meeting of the commit
tee next Thursday in Newark. The
chief purpose of the meeting will be
to consider the state convention
which, under the Geran law, must be
held in this city October 8, the same
day of the Democrat convention, IN
der radical changes from the old
methods. The committee will con-
slider what steps, If any, should be
taken by 1t in connection with the
convention.
Senator Briggs, discussing the
meeting, said he had given little
thought to the course to be pursued
by the committee under the new con
ditions existing this veal He de-
clared that he was not prepared to
say that the committee proper had
any function at all the planning for
the convention. He Is of the opin-
ion that the committee should decide
this question, and this Is his reason
for calling the meeting.
The personal view OF Senator
Briggs is that the committee as now
constituted is not entitled, under the
Geran law, to participate in the con-
yention, being barred by the provis-
ion that only state committee chosen
under the new law are eligible to be
part of the convention. II the 9TH
er members of the committee concur
in this view the committee will like
ly arrange the place and other pre-
liminary details for the gathering,
leaving the rest to the convention.
The holdover Republican senators
will likely take the initiative in the
real convention plans.
Senator Briggs declared in favor
of adopting a state platform al
though there is no state wide cleo
ton this year.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1911-09-12

tCont1nued from page ID
said he would appoint the committee
later.
Trenton was formally selected as
the site for state headquarters and
the chairman was empowered to Sc
cure proper rooms and open the
headquarters.
There was a lively discussion on
plans for financing the campaign.
General Collins, treasurer, said there
was only about $40 in the treasury
and 1t would be necessary to provide
funds Immediately. He suggested
an assessment of $50 on each mem
Der of the committee. This raised
the question of whether such an as
sessment was legal under the Geran
law. 1t was the general opinion that
such an assessment was perfectly
legal for necessary expenses. The
assessment was then ordered.
At this point Robert S. Hudspeth,
of Hudson county, arrived and Gen
eral William G. Heppenheimer, mem
ber-at-large from Hudson being al
ready present, there was comment
that Hudson had endorsed the cleo
ton of Grosscup as chairman. At
tention was called to the fact that
after 1918, the next gubernatorial
election, when the state committees
will be chosen under the Geran law,
there will be no members-at-large
Of the state committee.
Chairman Grosscup announced
that Governor Wilson had agreed to
go into every county and speak dur
ing the campaign. This announce
ment was received with enthusiasm
and the offer was accepted. The
work of preparing the itinerary was
referred to the chairman.
Chairman Grosscup called atten-
ton to the fact that under the Ger
an law a new county committee must
be elected at the primaries, Septem-

tOs's Is a Scream.

Who said Good old golden school
days or rule days?' Well. I'd Just
like to see him alone and make d few
positive remarks, and then demon
strate a few. / think that would
hold him for a while; anyhow I don't
get cheated out OF my job at Proc
tors, because wen If the show does
begin at 2 O'Clock ! get on the ground
at 3 and catch the best part, the
vaudeville acts, and there's some
acts at Proctor's today, believe me.
The show opened with two Of the
nobbiest fellows, Pike and C4lame.
and they are some hooters. In the
polite language of the day ! should
say "terpsicorian artists CwilI the

too, and wear some swell clothes

they've got some corking good songs.
They get into a bum argument about
some battle they fought which made
US all laugh. l bltstered my hands
trying to make them come out again,
but they got stingy and wouldn't.
Perhaps they didn't know any more

they're all to the good and l wish

The King Brothers are strong men
and you ought to see the stunts those
fellows do. l couldn't begin to ex-
plain-the editor wouldn't let me.
One thing they do was great. One of
the fellows makes a fifteen foot dive
through a paper covered ring and
the other fellows catches him by the
hands. Some class, Ell? Bet your
life! These fellows carry their own
plush curtain and make it n swell
act. They are good dressers, too.
The sketch, The Iceman," with
Tom Hoier & Company, was a
scream. Gee, l laughed myself sick.
The fellow is jealous of his wife and
suspects everybody, even his poor,
innocent, unsuspecting neighbor. The
wife gets scared (she's one of those

SENIOR CLASS
TO ORGANIZE
Meeting in High School Yes
terday--45 Membe S.

Taking the first steps toward
organizing. the senior class Of the
Perth AmbOy high school held a
short meeting in Il of the rooms in
the school building yesterday after
noon. Professor Kleiuhaus spoke in
regard to the custom Of eIeeting
officers for the class and it was de-
cided that nominations shall be
made Thursday afternoon. While
the class as a whole consists Of forty
five students, but t~hirty-two are full
fedged seniors. The remaining num-
Der, being inefficient in u or more
studies in their former grades, are
not called f~ull-fedged or in good
standing and therefore are not per-
mitted to attend class meetings.
The permission Of attending meet
ings was not taken from the inefa-
cient ones or specials" by the class
itself, but by the faculty. It was
also decided to hasten the purchase
Of a gift to the school for the money
which was realized on the entertain
ment given by the class last year.
The Offices for which nominations
and probably elections will be held
Thursday are, president, vice presi-
dent, treasurer and secretary. The
first and third Offices are filed by
male members while the remaining
two are given to the fair ones. While
there is great doubt concerning the
election for the last three named
Offices, the presidency will probably
fall to John ToOIin, one Of the popu-
lar members of the school and active
in athletics.
