Beekman Non-ComrnittsI.
While nothing definite has been
made public regarding the appoint
ment of the various committees there
were many guesses as to just what
counties would secure this or that
ehairmansiip. Mr.. Beekman, how
ever, was absolutely noncommittal on
the subject of the makeup of the COM
mittees and said that ne had not yet
made up his mind.
Essex county was represented by
Assemblymen- elect Hubert J. Rowe,
Bennett H. FISHER. Michael j. Quig-

Ryrne and Mark r. Phillips. Mr..
Phillips Is slated for clerk of the
House, a position which no held last
year.
BEaiey Ont of Running.

Bergen county. has been eliminated
as q possibility for the position as
secretary to Mr.. Beekman, as speaker.

said to be practically nil. The oppo-
sition was led by Senator elect
Charles O'connor Hennessy and his
followers. Assemblyman Johnson,
one of the new Bergen assemblymen,
la inclined to lean toward Maley.
Maley is accused OF having "bucked
the organization" in Bergen at the
primaries and for that reason has
drawn down the wrath of several of
