SENATOR OSBORNE
MAY TAKE OATH
Of JUDGE MONDAY
Governor Wilson Will Sign COm-
mission at Princeton This
Afternoon.
DOCUMENT WILL THEN
BE SENT TO NEWARK
Appointee Close Political Friend
and Supporter of
Wilson.

Senator Harry V. Osborne. appointed
by Governor Wilson to succeed Thomas
y. Davis as judge of the Essex county
court, will probably be sworn into
office Monday afternoon or Tuesday
morning. 1t Is understood that the
official commission will arrive in New
ark Monday from Trenton.
Mr. Osborne was appointed late yes
terday, at the same time with John j
Treacy, of. Hudson county, who sue
ceeds Mark A. Sullivan to the Court OF
Errors an1 Appeals bench.
The appointments were sent in to
the secretary of state late yesterday
but the official papers have not yet
been signed by the secretary of state
or the governor. 1t is likely that Gov
ernor Wilson will sign both commits
sions in Princeton this afternoon.
To a reporter for the Evening STAR
Senator Osborne said today:
Il cannot tell you j1st when | will
be worm in. 1t de- ends largely upon
when receive commission from
Trenton. Probably it will be Tuesday
Have you anything 80 to say?" the
Judge elect was asked

unoffically, that 1 would be appointed
That l . il do all ii my power to adj
minister the duties of the office in a
conscientious and earnest manner l
need not tell you. [ will do the best
l can"
The friendship existing between the
Governor and Senator Osborne is well
known throughout he State. Mr.. Os-
borne helped the { werner in his poll
cies' in Trenton at the last Legisla-
ture, and therefore ingratiated himself
in the esteem and g cd will of the
chief executive. AS a reward Gov
ernor Wilson singled out Senator Os-
gorne before the -ecent election at
which Osborne was defeated, asking
the public, through two communica-
tions, to send Osborne back to the SEN
ate.
Since it became known that dge
Davis would retire from the bench and
go back to his private law practise
Osbornes name as well as several
others were mentioned as SUCCESSORS to
Davis. Although it was deemed by
some to be bad politics for Governor
Wilson to appoint Jenator Osborne at
this time, it seemed certain from the
very start that Wilson would disre-
gard everything to appoint his friend.
Senator Osborne has been practising

This is the first time the members

four was 1,45O, and Mr. Moffitt re-
