AFTER VOTE TODAY
(continued from page IL

Mr.. MARITIME means that the Democrat
tic members of the legislature will
carry out the unmistakable wish of the
people. The matter is decided with
honor and in a way to settle all
doubts"
Former Senator Smith was hard hit
by the action OF the nine Democratic
senators agreeing in a short conference
prior to last nights sessio N to vote
solidly for MARITIME, but he still main
tanned the air of confidence with which
he opened quarters early in the after
noon.
81 am very confident of my election
as senator, = be said. "My friends as.
sure me that the vote will come at the
proper time and / am not dismsyed-' -
State Chairman Nugent, manager of
the Smith campaign, shows equal con-
fdence in the ultimate result. He
said:
'fThat is Marines absolutely high
vote. He can get nc more. Some of
those who voted for him have carried
out al they expected to do, as it was
put up to them to stand by the pri-
mary. There are now IS votes which
MARITIME cannot get at any time, and
that means he cannot win
Edwards to be Comptroller.
The Smith people were declaring that
the conference vote does not indicate
the preferences Of the members, many
of whom are sure to switch to Smith
after the arst joint ballot Wednesday.
The MARITIME hackers assert stoutly
that Is only another specimen Of
the "bluffn the opposition is putting
up, and that Marines election is sure.
The conference made unanimous the
choice of Edward +. Edwards, of Jer-
sey City, for State Comptroller, ten
votes being cast for William NJ. Will

sey City and popular.
Nugent Worries Speaker.
With the overshadowing senatorship
question in the air neither the Senate
or Assembly was in any humor for
business, and only short sessions were
held last night, with great crowds in
the galleries.
Speaker Kenny, in the House, in
sisted that the floor should be cleared
of all persons save those privileged to
be there, and he had Sergeant-At-Arms
Becroft on the jump to carry out the
rule. State Chairman Nugent, the
chief Smith lieutenant, was in the lob
by crowd, but he did not move. The
Speaker looked directly at him as he
said with some heat:
"Those not entitled to remain know
they are not and ought to get out.
If they don't the sergeant-at-arms win
put them OUT
Nugent smiled across the visto of
heads and the Speaker asked the ser
geant-at-arms il he was ready to re-
port.
t'All those that remain say they are
State oficers.' said Beeroft.
"You are easy" retorted the Speak
err, and the incident was closed.
The House session consisted merely
of the introduction of q batch of bills,
some important, most Of them other
