Former Mayor Frank S. Katzen-

bach rested at his summer home at
Spring Lake yesterday, following a
strenuous week spent in canvassiny
Salem, Cape May and Hunterdon
counties.

tour Sussex County Wednesday, Som
erset County Thursday, Morris

Fielder men have now abandoned
all claim to Salem County, and while
admitting Katzenbach's strength
there are alleging that Salem will
play no part in the nomination.
Salenn's primary vote is not usually q.
large one and the Fielder men are
careful to state that fact as fire.
quently as possible.
Srong Katzenbach Sentiment.
Salem, however, is not the only
county which has developed strong
Katzenbach sentiment. The same
thing is said to be true of Monmouth
County and Camden County Cape
MAY County has indicated an interest
In the former Mayor of Trenton's
campaign, and Hunterdon gave him
reception the significance of which
is not to be ignored. In several of
these counties men who have signed
the Fielder petition are now out for
Katzenbach.
Mr.. Katzenbach's campaign has at
tracted widespread attention. Even
his opponents, who spread the i'm
preston that he Is fighting a hope
lessly lost cause, admit that he is the
strongest candidate that could be
pitted against the acting Governor.
His own adherents look upon victory
at the primary as a certainty and IN
some counties he has visited the
voters saluted him as the next Gov
ernor of New Jersey.
! During the last four days of last
week Mr.. Katzenbach, in the four
counties of Salem, Cape May, Hun
terdon and Atlantic, talked and shook
hands with fully $4,000 voters. He Is
| interchangeable, refuses assistance of
any kind in his progress through the
State, even insisting on carrying his
own bag on all train journeys. He
stands up under the really hard work
he Is doing and claims to be gaining
weight and health as he goes on.
