More Perth Amboyans Arrive.

Wilbur LaRoe put in an appearance
from-Washington, d. c., where they
have been spending a few days.
Thomas F. Burke and Thomas
Brown, also of Perth Amboy, have
arrived here and, evidently, are
travelling around with the DuRigan,
Julian and Gibian forces. AS the
latter three men are avowed anti
Wilson men, and as Burke and
Brown have handsome strip admis-
sion tickets, it can be plainly seen
that Scully and the rest of the
crowd do not look forward to any
wild cheering from that section at
this afternoons session. The Demo-
cratic politicians, of MiddleseX
county, who are s%oourning in this
southern city, want to know just
where Burke and Brown stand. They
have taken so many sides in this
Wilson campaign, they assert, that
the political notebook is all scratch
ed up with changes. 1t might be
added here that Freebooter Andrew
Ely, of Dayton, and William j. Lea
Wy, of Perth Amboy, are also on the
scene. Mr.. Leayy came down on
Monday, but did not Join the Perth
Amboy crowd until yesterday, while
Mr.. Ely arrived yesterday fresh from
the rural districts of Wilson's home
state. Mr.. Ely met the NEWS cor
respondent in the Emerson hotel lob
by and was presented to Recorder
Kehoe, of Perth Amboy, whose ac-
quaintance he had never made be-
fore.

state senators, assemblymen, con-
gressmen, Z. S. senator's, and, last
but not least, fellow sheriffs. 1t is

Looks Like Wilson.
1t looks like Wilson. This state
n,ant ic pn+ p,aln in IaPonco re -,
governor, but in the belief hat the
uninstructed delegates, or those who
will be released from "fayorite
sons" on the first or second ballots,
have practically decided that the
~Jerseyman is the only man who can
carry the country next fall for DEM
ocracy. They also concede the point
that the nomination of Wilson
means the elimination of any posi-
bility Of Col. Roosevelt naming him
self as the candidate of a third, and
progressive party. The naming of
Champ Clark, a conservative, will
Justify the progressive Democrats
and Republicans to rally around the
flag of the Bull Moose, who is
awaiting the action Of the Baltimore
convention with a revengeful inter-
est. eve Want Wilson" is the slo-
gan and cheer word of the galleries
and many delegations at every ses-
sion of the convention, and, to use
the words of Congressman Scully,
we're going to have him" The
adjustment of the unit rule In Ohio
last night, by a state to state vote,
is a huge victory for the progress
sives. If the unit rule can be split
in New York, Wilson will get at
1aort for+u np +lA n;nOt,r 1r1to1 hall
by Charlie" Murphy, believed to be
a strong asset of Champ Clark. One
half of the New York delegates, per
sonally, are for the Jersey governor.
Sheriff Is Disturbed.
Sheriff Bollschweiler's good time
Is somewhat interfered with by be-
ing brought face to face with
frequent bulletins hal are displayed
by the local newspapers, stating, in
brief, the progress of the many
strikes in Middlesex county. The
sheriff got a severe jolt Monday
night when he received a telegram
from Deputy Sheriff Edward Hough-
ton, of New Brunswick, saying the
sheriffs presence was needed at
home. He left at IL o'clock Mon
day night and reached New Bruins
wick at 4 o'clock Tuesday morning.
The attractions at the convention
were too great. however, and after
a brief conference with the deputy
sheriff he started back again at II
O'Clock Tuesday morning, but did
not arrive here in time to take his
seat with the Jersey delegation at
the first session. He attended, how
ever, standing in the rear of the
