KEH0E'SDES|RE
So Rumors Assert May be
Democratic Choice.

One of the we'll known Democratic
office holders who is looming up
strong as a mayoralty possibility is
Recorder Henry W. Kehoe, who has
expressed an inclination, 1t is said,
to be the candidate of his party for
that office in November. Mr.. Kehoe
has the backing of many friends, who
declare that they will secure the re-
corder's permission to use his name
in connection with the campaign for
the mayoralty nomination, and work
to the last ditch to elect their man.
He has made many friends while on
the bench in the police court, in ad-
dition to holding the high esteem of
all those who are acquainted with
him in a business or social way.
There has been plenty of rumors
afloat that Recorder Kehoe will
strive for reelection to that office,
and, 1t is understood, If he declares
himself for such office, will be sup
ported by the Democratic organiza
tion. On the other hand, Mr.. Ke-
hoe has been quoted repeatedly as
declaring that he does not desire re-
election to the recordership, which
adds weight to the rumors current
today that he will shortly formally
announce himself as a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for
mayOr.

HARMONY WILL F..
BE LOCAL PLAN
Bull Moose Leaders Prac-
ticalIy Decide to Keep
hands from City Ticket.
TO PLEASE BOTH SIDES
Roosevelt Republican Club to
Hear Report of Chicago Ses-
sion Tomorrow Night.

Bull Moose leaders in this city
have about decided, it is understood,
to keep their hands off the formation
of the local ticket this year and al
low the Young Mems Republican
Club to prepare a slate of acceptable
candidates. If the ticket so prepared
Is too conservative to warrant their
unqualified support, the Roosevelt
men will probably announce opposi-
tion candidates on progressive plat
forms. AS the matter now stands it
appears that the regular Republicans
will heed the need of harmony In
local ranks with the Bull Moose
men and name ticket which will be
pleasing to both factions.
For time being, shortly after
the state convention at Asbury Park,
1t looked as if the Roosevelt leaders
would decide on an entire set OF can
any Endorsements by the Young
Mems Republican Club. Subsequent
events, however, indicate that the
Republican organization in this city
looks with favor upon the candidacy
of several "out and OUT Bull Moos-
ers, which makes harmonious tic
ket possibility. Among the candi-
dates favored by both factions, 1t is
understood, are Harry R. Wilson
and William Hilker, first and third
ward aldermanic candidates, respec-
lively, and Assemblyman John F.
Ten Brock, who has not decided
whether to stand for reelection, state
senator or mayor of Perth Amboy.
If Mr.. Ten Brock decides to run
for the assembly it Is understood
that every Republican in Perth Am
boy will unite to induce Acting
Mayor Ferd. Garretson to stand for
the nomination to the mayoralty
Office. He is opposed to such a tic
ket, it is known, as he desires to re-
main in the Board of Aldermen as
alderman-at-large The Republicans,
If united on either Mr.. Ten Broeck
or Mr. Garretson, believe that they
can defeat any man the Democrats
may name. The choice of the city
organization of the latter party has
not been made public. The leaders
declare they have several possibili
ties, but are steadily working for
harmony. They expect to name a
man for mayor who will have the
united support of his party.
The Roosevelt leaders announce
county mass meeting and dinner at
Metuchen on August 20, at which
time the county organization will be
perfected, it Is understood. This
meeting will probably bring out the
strength of Roosevelt in this section,
and some idea of the Importance of
the movement in county politics can
be gained at that time. The Roose-
velt Republican Club Of this city will
meet tomorrow night in Moose Hall
and receive a report on the Chicago
convention from former Judge
Adrian Lyon.
