primaries. Scully ran away ahead
of his ticket in every county in the
district, and clearly demonstrated
that he is one of the strongest men
the Democrats have for any office.
In contrast to the promised failure
of reelection next November. Con
gresham Scully can expect ever a
bigger majority than provided for
him yesterday and in November,
1910. by his enthusiastic followers.
Schlein.er's Showing
Samuel L. Schleimer, a New
Brunswick lawyer, ran strong in his
home town, which is also the head
quarters of Min Ross and the Mid
dleseX county anti-Wilson senti-
ment. Mr.. Schleimer ran on the IN
instructed ballot. opposed to Gov
ernor Wilson, and came within an
ace of defeating the Democratic
presidential candidate. Schleimer
polled ST. against Wilson 594. Bo-
gardus polled sos, while Scully ran
ahead with 746. Slocum polled
621. James Johnson, head of the
firm of Johnson & Johnson, of New
Brunswick, and a Taft man, did not
meet with the success expected. He
finished four cuts behind Taft, who
had SO7, compared to Roosevelt's
315. La Toilette found New Bruins
wick to his liking and polled twenty
two votes.
Wilson from the Start.
Shortly after the polls closed at
9 o'clock last night, m the first re-
turns received, it became evident
that Wilson would win hands down,
so to speak, while the Roosevelt
Taft fight in the district would be
decidedly close and interesting. As
the night advanced, the Roosevelt
sentiment appeared stronger, espe-
cially when returns were received
from the country districts. Various
reports from Monmouth county gave
Roosevelt a majority of 500, but as
! the night advanced the majority
grew smaller and smaller, until this
morning it doomed on the Taft side
of the tally sheet. This was chang
ed back again today, however, after
many anxious moments on the part
of Adrian Lyon, of this city, a
Roosevelt candidate for a delegate
ship, and the other Roosevelt sup
porters.
Mark Wins in South River.
Mayor Joseph Mark evidently won
his fight against Wilson in South
River, for the returns show a decid-
ed majority for Bogardus and
Schleimer in that borough Bogard-
us polled 145, as did Scheimer. while
Scully received a total of seventy
six and Slocum only ffty-nine. Will
son received forty-fve votes in the
first poll, and the Wilson vote in
the second poll has not been report
ed. South River did other things,
as well, giving the small majority of
of fifteen to President Taft. Mayor
Mark lined up with the Ross crowd
against the governor with the I'M
derstanding, it is said, that he will
be elected the next Sheriff of Mid
dleseX county.
Wilson Loses in South River.
A glance at the county table
shows Wilson sentiment in every
district but South River and New
Brunswick. On the other hand, the
Taft and Roosevelt fight was car
ried into every district, with varying
results. They ran abreast in Gran
bury, Dunellen, Jamesburg, High
land Park, Piscataway township,
and the fourth ward in South Am
boy. The Roosevelt sentiment was
strong in Madison township, Me-
tuchen, Monroe township, Roosevelt,
~Sayreyille township, three wards in
South Amboy and Woodbridge.
Hetrick and Lyon Pleased.
Hetrick and Lyon, running mates
on the Roosevelt district delegate
ticket. from Asbury Park and Perth
Amboy, respectively, declared today
as highly gratified with the result
of yesterdays primary throughout
the district. Although the Taft
leaders still cling to a hope for at
least a delegate, Messrs. Hetrick
and Lyon asserted their confidence
of victory and will prepare immedi-
ately for the trip to Chicago. Mr..
Lyon asked a NEWS reporter to ex-
press his appreciation of the stand
taken by so many loyal supporters
of the former president. Mr.. Lyon,
who Is a former judge of the Mid
dlesex courts, vas the only county
leader to take an open stand against
Taft In this campaign
