home last night, when he consented
off, showing him with his family at
Sea Girt, as they apeared just after
he received Jews of his nomination
for the presidency.
A canvas was hung against pillars
of the veranda and a row of porch
chairs placed on the lawn in front
of it Governor Wilson occupied one
of these. with General Bird S. Spen-
Ger, and Mrs. Spencer on his right,
and Henry Breckenridge, of Ken
lucky, at his left. Mrs. Wilson, who
has a slight cold, was careful not to
add to it and watched from an auto
mobile run up on the lawn at the end
of the row. Behind the principals
sat, perhaps, 200 persons who strolled
over from the various hotels and cot
tages.
Morgenthau Is Mentioned.
The candidate escorted his family
to q 4motor al in front of the house
and then walked vigorously across
the lawn 10 the telegraph tent.
Turning to Mr.. Breckenridge, the
Governor said: "Well 1 declare, I
walk just like my brother. This is
very amusing"
The Democratic campaign commit
tee, the appointment of which was
announced here Thursday, spent sew
eral hours in conference yesterday at
the New Monmouth Hotel, Spring
Lake, and will v again at l
o'clock Monday in New York. There
it will discuss the naming of the gen
erai finance committee, for the chair
manship Of which Henry Morganthau,
New York banker, has been unoffci-
ally mentioned here. No announce
ment of the personnel of the commit
tee will be made, however, until the
Governor passes upon the men. He
intends keeping in hourly commuEi-
cation with Chairman McCombs, and
10 facilitate this a private telephone
wire will be strung between his Sea
6irt Offices and those of the national
committee headquarters in New York
Just as soon as the men are selected.
n vice-chairmanship and the
treasurership of the national commit
tee were the main subjects discussed
at the morning conclave Of the CAM
paign committee, to which nine of
the fourteen members sat down. They
e McCombs. Hudspeth, O'Gorman,
Palmer, Daniels, Salisbury, Davies.
3rrleSon and Gore.
The conference developed a greater
diversity of opinion concerning the
treasurership than the vice-chairman-
ship Unless something should occur
within the ext few days TO change
the tentative plans now formed it is
believed that William G.. McAdoo, of
New York, will get the latter place.
AS for the t~reasurership there are
for candidates in the field, John y.
Crimmins and Nathan Straus, the
latter now abroad: Henry Morgen-
than and Herman Ridder, the present
treasurer. Mr.. Bidder probably can
have the place il he wants it,
Ridder Can Have Place.
Such was the statement of several
members of the committee when 1t
closed the days session. 1t was said,
however. that Mr., Ridder has been
in not very robust health lately and
that for this reason he may be UNI
willing to accept the post. Much may
depend upon the showing Mr.. Rider
makes today when he is called to
.testify before the Congressional COM
mittee investigating contributions +,
the Campaigns of 1901 inc 1905.
Before Chairman McCombs left for
New York in the afternoon he drove
over to the Little White House" for
a final talk with Governor Wilson.
The Governor said afterward that no
decision had been reached concerning
the treaserership Of the national com
mittee or the Craftsmanship of the
finance committee, the membership of
which is the next important question
to be settled by the campaign COM
mittee.
Mr.. McCombs said h was anxious
to get the New York Headquarters
open and that he hoped to have offices
located there in a couple of days. He
had made an engagement TO meet
Norman F.. Mack, his predecessor,
in New York in the afternoon and re-
oeived from him much of the data he
will have immediate use for upon
opening the Chicago and New York
Offices.
Secretary Davies of the national
committee left on a late train and
will make his headquarters at tho
Hotel Knickerbooker, New York,
until the campaign Headquarters is
established.
Thomas Il. Smith. treasurer OF
Tammany Hall. was an afternoon
visitor ait the State camp grounds
and it was rumored that he came To
make an appointment between Mr..
McCombs and Charles f, Murphy. He
said he had come to see Senator
o'Gorman. II SO. he missed his mark,
for the Senator had hurried back to
Washington on a train which left o
few minutes before Smiths arrival. =
The Tammany Hall official 1eid a
ffteen-minute conversation with
Chairman McCombs. but neither
would divuige it's purpose,
c. T. Taft in Town.
Several callers OF note turned up
during the day. although few hid
Neen expected. ss the Governor lad
reserved nearly all his time for the
campaign committee. Charles r,
Taft. brother OF the President, got as
near as Governor Wilson's gate, but
did not enter the grounds. He WAS
registered at a motel Tor luncneon n
passed in his automobile SOON after
ward. :.
Mayor James II. Preston, of Balti-
more, arrived at 3 O'CLOCK and stayed
only fifteen minutes, going back to
Baltimore. He told the correspond
ents that he merely came to pay his
respects. The Governor threw no
further light on the visit.
Other visitors were George Tucker,
Democratic nominee for the Govern
