POLITICS WARM
At SPOTSWOOD
Primary Fightfor Democratic
M%ayoraIty Nomination.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Spotswood, Aug. 13:-Politics
hold the center of the stage here
just at present, as there is distinct
evidence that there will be a decided
ly warm fight in the Democratic
ranks for the mayoralty nomination
this year, despite all efforts for har-
mony. AS the situation now stands
H. Garner DeVoe, the snuff manu-
facturer, will stand for the Democra-
tic nomination opposed to either
Councilman August Cornell or Mayor
A. B. Appleby, who have been urged
by the Independent voters to enter
the race in an effort to continue the
present progressive administration.
1t is understood that the Republic
cans will not indorse the Democratic
candidate for mayor, but place the
name of Councilman Hamilton
H~azlehurst on their ticket During
the last four years the Republican
leaders have consented to indorse
the Democratic nominee, as the
strength of that party was so para
mount that their choice had but
little chance of election, but this
year they see hopes of better things.
They will probably circulate a petit
ton in favor of Mr.. Hazlehurst and
sit patiently by while the Democrats
wage a primary battle of interest.
Mayor Appleby has said that he
does not desire reelection, but with
the nomination desired by more than
one he is the logical candidate
around whom all good Democrats
can rally for the sake of harmony.

CHARGES MADE
TO COMMITTEE
Not Likely to be Sustained
by S. A. School Board.
special TO the EVENING n

South Amboy, Aug. 13:-The adj
iourned meeting of the Board of
Education was not held until about
$50 last night, the meeting of the
committee of the whole to hear
charges preferred by Miss Everitt
against Supervisor Fitch continuing
until that hour, The report of this
hearing will not be made public un-
til the regular meeting on August
%, but it was inferred the charges
were rather of an intangible nature
and will hardly be sustained owing
to the indefinite character of same
and lack of actual proof.
The entire board were present at
the business meeting, Messrs. Oliver,
Davis, Wyckoff, Sutliff, and Pearse.
The secretary proceeded to rea the
thirty-two applications for position
of principal of the high school. AS
the applications were read certain
were discarded until but eight re-
manned which 1t was thought might
be suitable based on the experience
of the applicants and testimonials
furnished. The secretary was In
structed to communicate with these
eight, stating what they would be
required to teach and giving the
salary the board would be able to
pay.
1t was decided that the schools
would not open until September 8,
this being one week later than usual
owing to the repairs now going on
at School No. 2.
The committee on supplies was
authorized to go ahead and arrange
for necessary text books, etc. Upon
motion the meeting adjourned to
meet at the call of the secretary.
