BRIGGS TO QUIT
AS CHAIRMAN
Republican State Committee
in Newark Today.

Trenton, Aug. 20; - The Repub-
lican State Committee got down to
business today when, at its meeting
in Newark. it gave final consider
alton to plans for the coming cam
paign which have been under dis
cussion for the last week or two.
A new chairman to succeed Unit
ed States Senator Frank O. Briggs
will also be chosen and there has
been considerable division among the
members of the committee as to just
who the man should be.
Among the %shrewder members OF
the committee, like Uncle Dan Noor-
hees, for instance, there is a strong
demand that a progressive and hust-
ling Republican be given the post,
while the old 'stand-pat' element
are insisting that one of their num-
Der be chosen, fearful that their in
1uence in the campaign will be null
lifted by the selection Of any one
else.
Among the names suggested by
the progressive members of the com
mittee are ex-senator Joseph 5. Ere
linghuysen, of Somerset, and senator
Austen Colgate, of Essex, but II e1th-
er of these two men are guided by
the advice of their friends, they VIII
decline the place, unless the entire
conduct of he campaign is turned
over to them.
Campaign on Different ines.
The coming campaign IN New
Jersey. it is pointed out, has got 10
be run on different lines from re
cent campaigns in this state, and Tor
this reason, it is held, it must be put
into the hands of young and ener-
getic men in touch with present day
conditions, rather than in the charge
of men familiar with the old way OF
doing things only.
Arthur B. Leach, who was IN
charge of the Taft end of the recent
Republican primaries, is also spoken
OF for chairman, and so is eX-Sen-
ator Edmund w. Wakelee, OF Ber-
gen county.
1t is also probable that an advls-
DRY committee will be chosen at to-
days meeting to include not alone
members of the state committee, but
prominent Republicans throughout
the state as well.
Some of the members of the COM
mittee are wondering whether or not
Ex-Governor e. c. Stokes will be at
today's meeting. the ex-governor
was one of Colonel R~oosevelt's origi-
nal supporters in New Jersey, but
refused to follow the colonel out or
the Republican party.

AUT0ISTS WHO
REFUSE THEIR OFFERS

The police of this city are out look
ing for a gang of young boys who con-
gregate at Washington street and Am
boy avenue and annoy automobilists
Frequent complaints has caused Chief
P, j. Burke to issue orders to break up
the gang. 1t is the custom of the boys
to stop automibilists and ask tAem If
they want to be directed to the ferry
or to the county bridge. A refusal
means trouble and the boys boot, yell
and throw stones at the passing ma
chimes.
Yesterday afternoon a large touring
car came down the avenue and as usual
the boys jumped on the side looking for
a job. When the owner refused their
services several of the miscreants pick

graceful landing in the park amid the
applause of the people and the footing
of the horns.

each time showing his mastery of the
machine. In one of his flights he went
through many thrilling evolutions with
