ure-seekers, and some of them office
seekers as well. pulled out for Wit
zels Grove, College Point, Long
Island.

Is chairman of the committee of ar
engagements, worked hard to make
this years affair eclipse all others
conducted by the association, He
had crew of men taking care of
every detail of the voyage. They

Welcome City Counsel Nugent.
City Counsel James r. Nugent ar
rived at the dock a few minutes be-
fore the Majestic cleared, He was
Immediately surrounded by a group
of friends, who congratulated him on
his splendid appearance. Many mem

The trip to WitzePs Grove was made
without a mishap. Politics formed
the chief topic in the various groups
on board, and, in addition to the local
candidates for assemblymen and free
holders, the members were interestd
IN the gubernatorial race and the con-
test for the place on the State Demo-

win easily over his two rivals.
Many Like Katzenbach.
There was a decided difference of
opinion expressed on the gubernato-
rial situation. While many expressed
the hope that Governor Fielder would
be nominated, others declared that
former Mayor Frank S. Katzenbach,
jr., of Trenton, might be returned a
winner in the race. The choice of the
Essex County Democratic Committee
for governor will not be known def
nitely until the committee meets a
few weeks hence.
Probable candidates for the three
freeholder berths which will be con-
tested for this fall were also dis
cussed. Probably a dozen candidates
were mentioned for these places, but
ii seemed evident that only one can
didate would be chosen from Newark.
Another will likely be chosen from
Orange, while the third will be Sc

ships. &
1t was considered likely that there
Will be five or six changes in the
Essex delegation in the Assembly
next fall. Several of the assembly
men are expected to enter the race for
freeholder, while others will drop out
of the running. Each delegation from
the various districts of the city had
its own candidates to boost and
probably a score of would-be assem-
blymen were created on board.
