RuNYoN MAY BE CANDIDATE.
Former Judge Being Urged for Con
oress in This District


In response to the urging of his
many friends throughout the district,
former Judge William N. Runyon, of
Plainfield, admitted Friday, says the
Elizabeth Journal" that he may be
the republican candidate for congress-
man. Mr.. Runyon in no sense is a
prospective candidate through per-
sonal ambition, and he asserted that
if any other man whose republicanism
is unquestioned should announce him
self as an aspirant during the next
few days he would willingly relin-
quish all intentions of throwing his
hat into the ring.
The positive statement of Mr.. Run
yon's position will probably come the
latter part of the week. While his
loyal supporters have prepared a pc
tition for their popular Plainfield
leader, he has not finally promised
to permit of its filing, If he should
give the word, however, his friends
declare that signatures for him are
procured so easily that the petition
could be filed almost simultaneously
with the announcement.
Mr.. Runyon's one proviso in sup
poitiH6 dlOt4Cl III lht OiiiSC NtrAo
be that the latter was in sympathy
with the head of the ticket, and mol
an opponent of the administration. .
cannot conceive of man permitting
!, his name to be used on ticket whose
head he is practically fighting sale
Mr.. Runyon Friday in discussing thi'
feature of the case.
''If | should rum Mr.. Runyon con
tinued, II would not recede from m.
position of two years ago, when
urged the voters to rally to the sup
port of William Howard Taft. | have

| The report that Mr.. Runyon nigh
be candidate was met with approya
by republicans and others in Eliza
beth. They declare that there is II,
doubt. over Mr.. Runyon's attitude OF
any important question, and that h
would make a straightforward cam
paign that would appeal to ever,

|IN-ER-SEALS WIN
FROM MORRISTOWN
Shut Out the Locals and Tally
| -Four Runs.

Morristown A. A. lost Saturday to
the In-er-Seals, of New York, four to
nothing. 1t was a pitcher named
Jehle that welded the whitewash
brush but Morristown helped him
along with some poor base running.
Eddie Welsh twirled for the locals
and deserved better fate. He too
gave but five hits but the visitors
hit when runs were needed.
Morristown started off strong in
first inning and then fizzled out. At
ter Doyle had famed Maloney sim
gled to right but was caught in
run-up in an attempt to steal second.
West singled through the box. Hill
lock placed single in right but was
thrown out at second when Wilken-
ing played the ball to Whalen to get
West and the latter nabbed Hillock
by throw to Pattee. Morristown
failed to have look-in after that
session.
Lyons, who by the way is one of
the classiest back stops ever seen
on the local lot, singled to right in
the third inning Welsh helped him
all the way around by bad throws of
his out drop, the ball getting by Ahlei
three times and Lyons scoring. Jehle
was passed and he scored on sim
gle offered by Pattee. Houn got a
start in the sixth by scratch hit
through the box Pattee helped h i'm
along with sacrifice and he scored
when Swenson muffed Smiths fly in
left, Smith going to second on the
play to the plate and scoring on
Reeves rap.

TO BEGIN HOSPITAL SOON.
Tuberculosis Building VIII Probably
be Started September 18TH

Work on the county tuberculosis
hospital, it is expected, will begin
on September 18th. The site Sc
1ected has been sanctioned by the
state board of health despite the pro-
tests of the Morris Plains people,
two or three miles away. Bids for
the construction of the hospital build
ing will be opened by the committee
of the board of freeholders on Sep
tember 9th. 1t was found necessary
to reject the previous bids because
they called for the expenditure of
more money than the county ap-
propriated. The plans were revised
by Architect Jacob J. Vreeland and
it is expected that the contracts will
be awarded at the next regular meet
ing of the board on September 18th.
1t will be next spring before the
building will be completed.

powered to appoint a committee of
one member from each township and
municipality in the county to be the

Bought and Paid For" George
Broadhurst's vivid play of American
life, with the New York playhouse
cast and production, under the man
agement of William A. Brady, Ltd,
will be seem at the Baker theatre,
on Tuesday, September Srd. Mr..
Broadhurst's play is comedy drama
of contemporary New York life. It
follows, but does not copy, the terse
repertorial style which has been
adopted to good advantage by other
authors; its humorous qualities are
largely responsible for its interest.
A telephone girl supplies the serious
complication in the play. The en-
sgagement here of this notable attrac-
tion should prove one Of the theat-
rical events Of the season.
