Thompson Bohr, of Wildwood, who
is known in Cape May County as the
man who says the people of Cape
May pay more taxes under Republi-
can rule than David, King of Jeru-
salem, collected in all the years of

attendance thus far at the sessions

convention yesterday.
Former Senator John Hinchliffe. of
Passaic, is the only one in the Jer-
sey delegation who has sufficient con-
fidence in the candidacy of Woodrow
Wilson to risk any money on the
Governor winning out. Most of his
bets are represented by one and two
figures.
"Tune" Hewitt. the Mayor of

horse trading than politics, has
shown up at Baltimore. Tune

English castles to get square for
centuries of wrong.
Arthur Brisbane. of the New York
Journal, and Lucius 7. Russell, of the
Elizabeth Times, had diff
ference of Opinion In the press sec
tion of the national convention last
night that attracted the attention of
the auditorium, where the delegates
sit, and also of the galleries, crowded
with visitors.
Russell, wearing suit of white
duck and making a conspicuous
figure as he stood on a table, began
waving a large lithograph of Cover
nor Wilson during the cheers for the
Jersey candidate. Brisbane yelled
at him several times to sit down,
The Elizabeth man paid no attention.
Brisbane then undertook to push
Russell out of the press stand and
after several attempts succeeded.
The pushing by Brisbane and the
resistance by Russell, who could not
turn around on the narrow table,
made the big audience think there
was a fight in the newspaper sec
tion. Russell jumped back into the
the press stand Immediately and
started toward Brisbane, but II
there was any real danger of an als
tercation> it was prevented by the
crowd that stood between the two,
who laughed at each other when the
incident was over.
