lengthy session yesterday, adjourned
until Monday, June 23d, at 10
o'clock, when 1t will take up the dis
position of the divisions in which

The board further decided upon ths
liberal policy Of granting hearings to
any advocates Of the candidates who
desire to appear before 1t at that time,
AZ well as the opponents of the can
didates. There are contests in thirty
nine counties, a new one developing
yesterday in the shape Of opposition
to the incumbent, E. NJ. Cooley, in
Carroll county. In several of the
counties no candidates have an
nounced themselves, and with the Jobs
going begging. the board left these
that candidates will bob up by that
time.
Reason for Delay.
The chief reason for delaying action
IN the contested counties yesterday
was the absence of Governor Mann
and Colonel Henry Ford, of the " NJ.
l.. who are Ill. The other six mem
bers were present at yesterday
meeting. The adjourned meeting was
deferred until the latter part of June
BY reason of the fact that several
members Of the board will be busy
with their commencement seasons,
and the pad was agreed upon as the
most suitable date. The board trans
acted no other business beyond the
election OF the supertntendents. but
this occupied some time, in view OF
the fac, that a number of friends OF
the various candidates were on hand
to be heard. and the board had to
wade through mass of recommends
tions and also give ear to charges
against several OF the candidates.
