the New York Call and Internation-
al-Socialists Review, two OF the
leading Socialist papers In the
United States. Accepting the fact
that Mr.. Schloss is an editor, 1t
makes every congressional candidate

of the newspaper profession. B. F.
s. Brown, of Metuchen, the regular
Republican nominee; Mark o. Prem
tiss. Of Metuchen, the Progressive
Republican choice; Bruce Crowell,

newspaper men with widely known
ability in their respective branches.
Mr.. Schloss resides in Ocean
county oply short distance from

dence in the same town as does Ar
thur Brisbane, the famous New
York journalist, during the sum-
mer months. He will come here In
September and address local Social
lists. The latter party will hold an
open air meeting tomorrow night at

ment." On Saturday night the So
cialists will be addressed by Mrs.
Mcdaniel, who is running for con-
gress in the fourth district, New

Progressives for Ten Brock.
L. Burt Moore, chairman of the
Republican city committee, declares
that he has many of the Progressive
Republicans out for the nomination
of Assembly of John f. Ten Brock
as the regular Republican candidate
for state senator, inasmuch as they
have affixed their names to the Ten
Brock petition. Mr.. Moore says he
has the signatures Of the following
men: Acting Mayor Ferd Garretson,
William F. Hilker, James E. Girls
void, e. B. Walker and others who
lean to the Roosevelt side, with the
exception of Mr.. Garretson, who is
non-partisan. Mr.. Moore does not
believe that former Judge Adrian
Lyon, when the latter declared In
favor of a Progressive candidate,
spoke for the rank and file of his
faction.
Not Out for Excise Board.
Martin Ryan, young Sixth Ward
Democrat, has announced that he is
not a candidate for the nomination
to the Board of Excise Commission
ers, contrary to report. Mr.. Ryan
says he will content himself with
working-not-running this campaign.
Hugh C. Reilly, of 106 Commerce
street, mentioned as likely candi-
date for the Democratic nomination
to the excise board, declares that he
has never signifed his intention of
running, or vice versa. He says he
will make a statement in regard to
this matter in very short time.
