MANY CONTESTS FOR
CITY OFFICES SHOWN
BY PETITIONS ON FILE

All petitions indorsing candidates
for city offices have been filed with
City Clerk Wilbur La Roe, showing
wealth of material from which the
voters on primary day can select
the nominees of both parties, Demo-
crat and Republican. There were
no sensational eleventh hour devel-
opments except that Walter Rech-
nitzer filed petition indorsing him
self for the Republican aldermanic
nomination In the third ward, op-
posing William F. Hilker. The band
of struggling excise board aspirants
was increased somewhat by the FL
ing of petitions for nominations on
both tickets, but no strong organiza-
tion men entered the race at the
last minute, as expected.
In Fifth Ward.
Excepting the contests for the
mayoralty nomination, the most in
teresting primary race on the DEM
ocratic side Of the house is in the
fifth ward, where Clark, Jago and
Manton aspire to the nomination. 1t
is understood that the leaders are
making an effort to induce two of
these men to withdraw in favor Of
the third candidate. Whether this
plan will become reality, and
who will be the lucky man is not
known. Neither side has contest
for county committeeman, prin-
cipally because the old time county
committees has lost their power,
with the enactment of the Geran
law and the direct primaries.
Republican Contests.
The Republicans have contests on
for aldermanic honors in every
ward in which an alderman is to be
elected on November 8. In the first
ward Samuel w. Hornsby is out for
reelection, and is opposed by Will
liam c. Wilson. Mr.. Rechnitzer op-
poses Mr.. Hilker in the third ward
and Joseph Gadek is campaigning
against Ira R. Grouse, who is looked
upon with favor by the progressiYes
and regulars, united. it is under
stood,
Thirteen on Each Ticket.
The excise board question con-
tinues about the same, with thir-
teen candidates on each ticket for
the five nominations. The Civic
Union has named four we'll known
men, through the untiring efforts
of Peter A. Peterson, chairman of
the union, and will make cam
paign for the nomination based on
the principle Of better excise condi-
tions in Perth Amboy. If the can
didates of the union are nominated
it is believed that they will be elect
ed Many Democrats are looking
with favor upon the Peterson candi-
dates in the belief that they are sim
cere in their purpose and declara-
ton OF principles. The four candi-
dates will strive for nomination on
the Republican ticket.

HERD GATHER
AT METUCHEN
Bull Moose to Plan for
County Mass Meeting.

According to latest report the
plans of the Progressives have been
changed and, instead Of naming a
county ticket at tonight's banquet in
Metuchen, call will be issued for
county convention Of the Middlesex
Progressives, at which time the dis
tr1ct delegates will meet and prepare
a third. county ticket. 1t Is under
stood that the change in plans is
caused by the desire of the Metuchen
Bull Moosers to have 1t plainly un-
derstood that they will not predomi-
nate at tonight's gathering, and,
naturally, "steam roller" the session
In favor of any Metuchen aspirant to
nomination on the county ticket.
The mass meeting idea is favored
by the Roosevelt enthusiasts in Perth
Amboy, including former Judge
Adrian Lyon, the Middlesex county
leader, who are planning to attend
the 81 dinner tonight at the Hillside
Inn, as we'll as the county convention.
Several booms may be launched at
this evenings session, however, in
Guiding that of Judge Lyon for state
senator, without doubt, as the
Perth Amboy contingent and the
Raritan Roosevelt Club, Of Metuchen,
are almost a unit for the local attor-
ney. The Judge continues to refuse
the nomination, however, and en-
phatically declares that the plum
should go to either Metuchen or New
Brunswick. Mark o. Prentiss, OF
Metuchen, is the congressional candi-
date, SO 1T Is highly likely that the
senatorial nomination will become
the prize of county seat man.
There have been SO many applica-
t1ons for reservations at tonight 8
banquet that the members of the
Raritan club will not participate in
the feed" but content themselves
with acting as hosts to the visitors,
who will come from every section of
the county. Perth Amboy alone will
send up between twenty and thirty
Bull Moosers who expect to arrive at
the Inn in time for the spread. Judge
Lyon will act as POSTMASTER, and
may call upon several of the most
prominent diners for few after
dinner remarks. The main speech
making, however, will take place in
an adjoining hall Immediately after
the banquet. Many of the Roosevelt
followers are planning to go to
Metuchen for the mass meeting only
and miss the banquet feature Of the
evenings program.

dsrinq Little Mary Halliday
Mas Been Indicted.
MOT GUILTY" is HIS PLEA
To Open Trial September 20
flames s. Wight Assigned
to Defend Him.

1lka Kompovics, the sixty-two
year old man accused of abusing
and afterward numbering ten-year-
old Mary Halliday near the Lehigh
Valley coal docks July 2, was In
dicted for murder today and plea
of not guilty was entered for him.
James 8. Wight was assigned to de-
fend him. The man stands accused
of brutally treating the little girl,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel
Halliday, Of 532 Mechanic street,
and then strangling her to death.
His physical condition Is decIin-
Ing. He displayed no emotion when
Informed of his indictment for mur-
der today and when asked to plead
made no reply. When informed
that he would have to make some
sort Of a plea and again asked If he
were guilty he replied: II don't
know II l am or not" A plea Of
not guilty was then entered for him.
When asked about his choice of
counsel to defend him, he said:
"Why should l have a lawyer when
didn't do it?" The court then as
signed James 8. Wight as counsel,
and the man was led back to his
cell to await trial for murder,
scheduled to begin September 20.
The indictment was brought in
before Justice James J. Bergen. 1t
was founded on the evidence first
procured by the local police fol-
lowed up by the county authorities.
The evidence Is principally circum-
stantial. The man was a boarder In
the girls home and had often been
seen fondling her. Witnesses de-
clare he disappeared with her at 10
o'clock on the morning OF July l..
Nothing was seen or heard of the
girl until her mutilated form was
discovered by coal dock workers in
a dark tunnel under the Lehigh
Valley stock grounds.
Through the vigilance of the po-
lice Kompovics was arrested a few
hours later. When charged with
the murder he said he did not
know If he did or not, but If he had
he must have been drunk.

H0TCHK|SS TO
Be CANDIDATE
Progressive Party in New
York Name State Ticket.
sSec1aJ By United Prsss Wire.

Convention Hall, Syracuse, N. Y,
Sept. b:-The Progressive party in
New York was launched today In a
state convention that, in many re-
spects, took the appearance OF a re-
ligious review. For the first time
also In the history of the state wom-
en- participated in purely political
movement as delegates. More than
150 earnest women, the majority
young and energetic, entered into the
spirit of the movement and their
presence seemed to inspire the men
delegates.
To the stirring strains OF Onward
"There'll be a hot time in the old
town tonight" the delegates got
down to business and perfected a
temporary organization. Originally
set for 1 o'clock, the convention was
not called to order until 1890. All
that was done at the opening session
was to listen to the temporary chair
mans address.
The makeup of the state ticket
was still very much in doubt, but 1t
was generally believed that former
State Superintendent of Insurance
Hotchkiss would finally consent to
make the race for governor. Nomi-
nations will not be made until to-
morrow, however.
Pendergast Withdraws.
Following a conference with Chair
man Hotchkiss, Controller Pender-
CAST today issued a statement in
which he said he had never been a
candidate and was not now. "As a
matter of fact" he said, II have no
desire to run for governor or for
anything else. But Colonel Roose-
yelt and his friends asked me to lead
the fight and I consented. l must
say that political expediency does not
demand that I be nominated"

The robber probably planned the
attack in advance. 1t Is conceded by
the police that he knew it was pay
day for the Standard Bitulithic Com
pany's employees and knew of the
route Schaefer would take with the
money. Schaefer is a man of slight
build and light in weight, which
made him an easy victim for a man
of good proportions, as the burglar
evidently was from the glimpse
caught of him by the victim.
Schaefer drew the money from the

the robber sprang upon him and
