GOV. WILSON WINS OVER
JIM SMITH, JR., AND RING
Gets 1920 Votes to 1880
for Smith-Smith Admits
Defeat
tBy Associated Prsss.)

NEWARK. ~ j.. Sept. 25.-That
Governor Wilson won a sweeping vic
tory in the New Jersey primaries was
evident from returns received here
early today In his fight to prevent the
nomination for United States senator
of former Senator James Smith. Jr.,
Governor Wilson carried the state by
plurality of nearly 10000. winning
in every county except Essex, the
stronghold of the Smith forces.
Returns from 511 Of the 1873 dis
tricts in the state gave Representative
William Hughes. the Wilson senatorial
candidate. 1920 votes to 11,751 ror
smith.
Even Essex county. which includes
the city of Newark. did not pile up for
Senator Smith the overwhelming vote
which he had expected to receive from
his neighbors and ,townspeople. With
few districts missing. the vote in Es-
sex showed Smith only about 4,OOO
ahead of his opponent. On the other
side was Hudson county. with an in
dictated Hughes plurality of 5000, and
Mercer county with a Hughes plurality
Of 1000.
1.-The vote is an absolute expression
Of the people of New Jersey in favor of
the policies of Governor Wilson. On
this basis / submitted my candidacy to
the people and they supported me adj
mirably. The victory of Woodrow VIII
son seems now assured at the Noven-
Der election"
SMITH ADMITS DEFEAT.
The Morning Star, owned by Mr..
Smith, conceded the election Of Hughes.
Later the Wilson candidate issued the
following statement from his home III
Paterson:
ALL CREDITED TO WILSON.
1t is believed that practically all the
Wilson candidates for nomination
throughout the state, outside of Essex
county were successful.
On the Republican side the primaries
were eventful. Senator Frank 1. Briggs
received an uncontested endorsement.
