SEA GIRT, N. J.. July 1S.-After
heavy rain that lasted all night
the sun broke through the clouds
shortly after 5 o'clock this morning,
and fears that Governors Day cele-
bration would be marred by rain
vanished
AS early as 8 o'clock the trains be-
gan to bring visitors from Essex
county who were anxious to get a
peep at the troops in action. In this
they were disappointed somewhat.
because the three battalions started
out early this morning under sealed
orders to engage in conflict. A tele-
gram regretting his inability to be
present was received this morning
from former Senator Everett Colby,
who is himself a candidate for the
gubernatorial chair.
Judge William P. Martin also
wrote the Governor regretting that
he would not be able to attend. The
luncheon was at / o'clock on the lawn
of the Governors cottage. Arrange
ments had been made for the ac-
commodation of more than 400 guests.
About half of this number were from
Essex county

Conspicuous among the early Essex
arrivals were several members of the
Woodrow Wilson League. In the
delegation were Thomas Burning.
Clarence Sackett, Edmond A. Whit
tier. Bernard w. Terlinde and Simon
p. Northrup. The crowd split up
into little groups upon their arrival
and after meeting the governor re-
newed old acquaintance.
Most of the Essex delegation paid
their respects to Senator Austen
Colgate and were introduced to the
members of the governors staff.
Politics were freely discussed by the
various groups and the chief topic
of discussion among the Essex
Democrats was the return of City
Counsel James R. Nugent after an
extended trip to Europe.
Many of the boys did not know he
had returned until they arrived here.
All were very anxious to see him.
No Slight to Hudsonites.
There was a current rumor among
the Democratic politicians present
that Prosecutor Robert S. Hudspeth
and State Treasurer Edward M

Democratic State Committee, were
somewhat put out because they had
not been invited to the luncheon to-
day and to the inaugural of Gov
ernor's Day.

clared he saw no reason why Huds-
