WILSON LEAGUE
Assemblyman BOettner Creates
Surprise by Refusing NOm-
nation for Presidency.

Surprise was expressed at the meet
ing of the Woodrow Wilson League of
Essex county last night when Assem-
blyman Frank a. Boettner declined to
accept the nomination for president.
He retired in favor of Frank O'Connor,
and the latter was finally beaten by
John L. Armitage by a vote of 5S to Al.
The meeting was held in Orator Hall,
494 Broad street, with President John
j. Clifford in the chair when the ses-
sion began. Simon p. Northrup, chair
man of the meeting on constitution
and bylaws, read the proposed con-
stitution. President Clifford II
bounced that he would not be a candi-
date for reelection, as the office re-
quired too much of his time and there
were other men better fitted for it.
Before the ballot was taken J. Ran
dolph Woodruff retired from the race.
John L. Armitage was nominated by
Jacob l.. Newman. and Frank O'Con-
nor, of West Orange, was named by
Andrew j. Boylan. When Frank A..
Boettner was nominated by Harry
Llbow there was a demonstration
which plainly showed that the ma
jority of the members expected he

looked as though a wet blanket was
thrown over the gathering when Mr..
Boettner arose and declared he had re-
tired in favor of Mr.. O'Connor. Many
made 1t evident that they were dis
pleased by Mr.. Boettner's action.
A secret ballot was taken in charge
of Jacob l.. Newman and Arthur j.
Boylan, and the result was not an
nounced until the end of the session
had almost been reached. Otto c.
Nierum, Of Montclair, was chosen
Nice-president; Patrick ]. Dolan, sec
rotary, and John V. Diefenthaler, un-
successful shrievalty candidate, was
chosen treasurer. Fou members of
the executive committee elected were:
Mayor Julian A. Gregory, of East
Orange; Thomas T.. burning, Assem-
blyman William P. Macksey and John
/. Rodabeck. The other four mem
hers of the committee will be APP
pointed by President Armitage.

FEWER FREEBOOTER COMMITTEES.

The committees which will be ap-
pointed by the new small Board of
Freeholders when the board organizes
on January 1 were decided upon at a
meeting of the recently-elected mem
bers in the Republican headquarters
last night. Two committees comprised
of all the members will look after in
surance matters and also the purchase
of supplies. BY assigning to one COM
mittee the work which has heretofore
been left to two or more committees
the new board proposes to use but nine
other standing committees of -four
members each. The committee on sup
plies will have charge of all county
institutions under the supervision Of
the freeholders, and all supplies are to
be contracted for by competitive bid
ding.
