bered only that they were Jerseymen
in the State camp"
Chief among the topics of conversa-
ton was the rumored three-cornered
fight for the State committee. The
Wilsonites in camp were somewhat
divided on Matthews and Mayor Greg
DRY. of East Orange, and many adj
mitted that with both in the race
City Counsel Nugent would have an
easy time of it getting the place.
News of the return of Mr.. Nugent
from Europe flew quickly and the few
Essex men who had come upon him
before leaving for Sea Girt were piled
with questions as to the state of his
health and whether or not he had
ade any statement regarding the
booms of Matthews and Gregory for
the State committee.
Matthew's on Gregory.
1t was .rumored about that Mat
thews had been requested to with
draw from the fight in favor of
Gregory, with the promise that he
would be rewarded with the assistant
prosecutorship. This, however, was
later denied by Matthews, who de-
clared that he was in the fight 70
stay. He added that he did not be-
lieve that Gregory would be serious
candidate. ross
Mayor Gregory has not announced
his candidacy, as yet" said Mr.. Mat
thews, land even If he does 7 do
not see any reason why I should get
out of the race. My constituents
have asked me to make the run and
intend to remain in the race until
they ask me to withdraw. I do not
think Mayor Gregory will run. 1t is
my belief that he was nominated by
a crowd of recalcitrants without his
knowledge. At any rate I am going
to see the fight through to the finish"
A rumor that was circulated early
in the day to the effect that Prosec-
tor Robert S. Hudspeth and State
Chairman Edward e. Groscup were
somewhat put out because they had
not been invited to today's function
brought forth the statement from
Governor Fielder that there was no
reason why they should be.
Newarkers Meet Fielder.
The invitation for the five weeks
encampment had been issued by
counties and as far as possible when
their respective regiments were in
camp. The fact that the First Regi-
ment was in camp this week was the
reason for the precedence given to
the Essex delegation and the Cape
May and Morris County men were in
vited at the same time to represent
the extreme ends Of the State.
The Governor was escorted by Sena-
tor Austin Colgate to the latter's tent,
where a number of Eewarkers who
had arrived late in the day were
waiting to meet him. The men were
introduced to the Governor by City
Treasurer Elmer A. Day.
The Governor remarked that he was
| indeed glad to meet such a repre-
sentative crowd from Essex County,
which observation evoked the remark
from one Of the delegation, "Well, we
won't do you any harm, Governor"
Afterward the Governor dictated a
| statement to the press, in which he
| said:
ut was very successful day. The
luncheon was enjoyed by men of all
factions and parties, the invitations
being issued without regard to fac
| tional difference. 1t had been my
thought that 1t would be pleasant
| thing to invite the men by counties,
as far as possible, while their regi-
ments were in camp. 1t was particu-
larly pleasant today to have North
Jersey represented by Morris County,
| Middle Jersey by Essex and South
Jersey by Cape May County. 1t also
gave me great pleasure to observe
| the fine feeling shown between all the
men here They seemed to forget all
fractional differences and remembered
only that they were Jerseymen at the
State camp. am particularly pleased
with the fine showing made by the
First Regiment. The men presented
a very soldierly appearance at the
review and have done excellent work
while in camp. Colonel Frazer and
his officers are to be highly compli-
mented at the result, which bears
evidence of their good work"
