FREEH0tDER RACE
Harrison Councilman An
nounces Candidacy at Re-
quests of Friends

Friends of Councilman John j.
DAILY. of Harrison, last night per-
suaded him to announce his candi-
dacy for the Democratic nomination
for the nine-member Board OF Free
holders of Hudson county. MI. DAILY
has served as president of the Har-
rison Town Council since his election
as a councilman in 1906. and for a
short time occupied the chair of
mayor, during the Il warranto pro-
ceedings to Gust Mayor Joseph F..
Riordan. An attempt was made some
time ago to have Mr.. DAILY seek the
mayoralty nom nation OF the Demo-
cratic ticket, but he refused to oppose
Mayor Riordan.
Besides Mr.. DAILY, three other Har-
rison men are in quest of the nomi-
nation. They are Freeholders John f.
Reilly and Patrick j.. Condor and
former Freeholders George w. Capars
and John w. Roche, the latter from
Kearny.
Councilman DAILY has been a resi-
lent of Harrison all his life, and has
always been an ardent Democratic
worker. For fourteen years he has
been affiliated with the Hudson
County Democratic Committee. and
in this capacity has accomplished
great work for his party. AS a coun-
gilman Mr.. DAILY was able by his zeal
and aggressiveness to secure conces
sions from a railroad corporation for
grants made.
Mr.. DAILY has also served as a mem
bers of the Board of Health and
filled the office of vice-president for
several terms. 1t is expected that his
petition will be circulated within the
next few days. There are more than
100 %aspirants for the nine nomina-
tons throughout the county, but it is
generally understood that West Hud-
son will secure at least one nan on
the board. This man, SO his friends
say, will be Councilman DAILY.

Jared w. Kimball, superintendent
OF the society. took the child from
Mrs. Plum's home to the society

ing. Her prospective change in resi-

Considerable comment has been

lions existing between the two lnsti-
tutions and the absence of any
rivalry.

Proves Innocence.

Another clue went for naught yes
terday in the mystery surrounding
the identity of the abandoned baby
known to the police only as Ella
Schwartz.
A man supposed to be the child
father was deeoyed to the Second pre-
cinct station by a letter last night.
There he vas subjected to a sever
grilling by Captain John Brown, Tut
succeeded in convincing the captain
that he was not the man the police
were looking for. He was allowed
TO go.
Three days ago the man called at
the house of Mrs. Sarah Plum,
matron of the Second precinct. and.
after looking at the child, asked her
to notify him if ANYONE came to claim
it. Mrs. Plum told Captain Brown
about it, and the decoy letter was the
result. Mrs. Plum is still taking care
of the little one.
