Metuchen, Sept. 80: - Unless
somebody gets busy in a hurry and
waves either an olive branch or
big stick in the third congressional
district. which comprises Middlesex,
Monmouth and Ocean counties, dis
cord will reign supreme among the
Progressives Of the three counties,
said well informed Progressive
Saturday. Down in Asbury Park the
origin al Progressive of Monmouth
county, Clarence C. F. Hetrick, is
waiting and anxious for the state
committee to do something. he says.
Hetrick was sheriff of Monmouth
county and not long ago he gave up
his Job as chairman Of the Monmouth
county Republican executive COM
mittee in order to be a free lance
Progressive. Hetrick made no at
tempt to conceal the fac, that he had
crouch In talking to the reporter.
He says he is a member Of the Pro-
gressive state committee but often
the committee does or undoes things
and he knows nothing ABOUT the pro-
ceedings until he looks over the
newspapers. He says he does not
receive invitations to attend some of
the meetings.
Hetrick is Progressive in every
sense of the word and he says the
Progressives could carry Monmouth
county but that state headquarters
must get busy. Hetrick says there
is considerable feeling In Monmouth
and Ocean counties against sending
Thomas J. Scully back to congress
and that the Progressive candidate,
Mark c. Prentiss, has very excel
lent chance of carrying both coun-
ties. He and Prentiss have been
touring Monmouth. Hetrick says the
battle-ground for the congressional
fight will be in Middlesex.
Middlesex Progressives are much
annoyed by reports evidently from
reliable sources to the effect that
Monmouth Progressives desire to
eliminate Prentiss for congress and
indorse BENJAMIN F. s. Brown, who
ran as a Republican candidate IN the
primaries with the words pledge
to Progressive policies" opposite his
name. Brown Ia a Monmouth coun-

Progressives are for indorsing his
