lcontlnuea from Flr.t rase.l


strued as possibly having some con-
nection with the recent investigation.
Pupils Greet Wilson.
In Kearny the President was
greeted by the children of schools
Nos. and 6. and in Jersey City by
those of No. 2. He wished the pupils
good luck"
When he arrived at the Carteret
Club he paused in the lobby only
long enough to shake hands and
greet Mayor H. Otto Wittpenn, OF
Jersey city, and Governor Fielder.
1t was noticed that he spoke longer
to Mr.. Fielder than to the other
aspirant for gubernatorial honors.
The conference itself was secret,
although Assemblyman Walter L.
McDermott, of Hudson county, who
introduced twin jury bills carrying
referendum clauses, had stated his
intention to hint that 'pitiless pub
lefty" would be better in keeping
with the grave Importance of the
matters under consideration.
The senators present were: Harry
C. Wheaton, of Cape May; John w.
Slocum, Monmouth; J. Warren Davis,
Salem; Peter J. McGinnis, Passaic;
George F. Martens, of Hunterdon,
James A. C. Johnson, of Bergen,

1t was rumored early this after
noon that these leaders would urge
the three candidates for the guber-
Material nomination to withdraw from
the race in favor of an agreed can
didate. The report could not be veri-
fed. because none of the three can
didates, Wittpenn, Fielder or Katzen-
bach would talk about 1T, but it
seemed to gain ground. The idea is
to harmonic all three factions on
one man.
Another case which, 1t was thought
would be brought to the attention OF
the President and the State politi-
clans is that of John M. Hannah, who
has been ousted as deputy clerk of
the Supreme Court.
He was about to return to Trenton
yesterday, but a telegram from Mr.
Tumulty urged him to remain until
this afternoon.
Before the conference -Assemblyman
Egan, majority leader of the House,
said that the Hudson delegation
would stand by the McDermott twin
bills unless something better were
offered.
Against Judges Juries.
1--WE shall not vote for a judge-made
jury, in any event." he added
The President would insist, it was
said, on the plan of having the Cir
cult Court judges select jury commits
sions. To this scheme Mr.. Egan said
the Hudson men would never agree.
. Among the last to arrive were the
Presidents secretary, Joseph P.
Tumulty and State Chairman Ed
ward e. Grosscup. Following the
said Mr.. Tumulty, buff
fet luncheon would be served. 1t was
also announced that the President
would visit an industrial exhibition
in the. Fourth Regiment Armory, op-
posite the clubhouse. He had been
invited to do so by Hugh F. Reilly,
chairman of the exhibit.
The President would then meet sew
eral of the State leaders.
When the conference opened Assem-
blyman McDermott, of Hudson, made
an attempt to have the newspaper
men admitted. 1t was voted down,
however.
Assemblyman McDermott took some
time to explain his dual jury bill,
which the Senate refused to consider |
at the last session of the Legislature |
While he was talking Assemblyman
Ackley, of Cumberland, and Mr.. |
Agnew, of Bergen, arrived. Senator
put in an appearance soon
After this cQnfab President Wilson
was scheduled to return to New York,
later returning to Jersey City to
speak at o'clock, and leaving imme- |
diately afterwards for Washington.
He is due to arrive there at 1880
o'clock tomorrow morning.
In the Presidential party, beside
the secret service men. were Major
