TREASURER QUITS;
TURNS IN "a CENTS
Judge Dugan Resigns Office
in Orange Wilson
League.

The condition of the treasury of the
Woodrow Wilson League of Orange
was delicately limited at by Judge
Daniel A. Dugan. the treasurer, when
he handed in his resignation with a
check for eighty-four cents attached.
The eighty-four cents represented
the residue of the organization s
funds
Judge Dugan has been regarded as
one of the foremost Woodrow Wilson
men in the State. He was one of
the principal figures in the split of
the Orange club over an attempt to
GUST the president, William F. Ham
ilton, sr.n at a stormy meeting week
ago last Thursday.
He led the opposition against Ham
ilton, but his faction was beaten by
a single vote. In addition Hamilton's
friends had scored another triumph
by quietly Incorporating the organi-
cation, with Hamilton men as truss
| tees.
The judge was further dissatisfied,
it is said, over the financial affairs
| of the league.
Financial Secretary Also Quits.
When his resignation was presented
to the secretary. Patrick ]. Scally,
last night with the check for eighty
four cents, it was accepted with lit
tie delay. Cornelius ]. O'Donoghue.
Hamilton man, made a conciliatory
speech, seeking to induce the Judge
to reconsider his action, but Mr..
Dugan did not reply. Mr.. O'Dono-
ghue afterward was made treasurer.
Robert Fairchild, 1r., who, Mr..
| O'Donoghue said at the last meeting,
remained away from the July 3 gath
ering because he had ito obey orders"
| followed Judge Dugan and also re-
signed his place. and Mr.. O'Donoghue,
| to smooth matters over with the OPP
position group, suggested that John
l.. Davis, jr., son of the vice-presi-
dent, be chosen financial secretary,
but his father said the young man
was absent from the meeting and
probably would not take the place,
and half a dozen men declined the
position. James Sweeney was finally
named.
Accounts Reported o. X.
The auditing committee reported the
accounts of the treasurer and finan-
cial secretary in excellent condition
and all funds accurately accounted
for.
The report of Judge Dugan re-
ferred to a note for $3.50 due next
month which is Endorsed by him
| cal nd r
Davis and O'Donoghue.
Mr.. O'Donoghue stated the disus-
sion at the last meeting over the gas
bills unpaid was due to the Public
Service Corporations failure to for
ward the bills to the treasurer.
Reports made by Michael j. Lawlor
and John L. Davis, chairmen of the
euchre parties given by the league
this year, showed many tickets still
unpaid for. Mr.. Davis reported for
the second euchre a favorable balance
i of $40 40 and 1874 tickets still outstand-
ing On motion of Mr.. O'Donoghue
the committee was not discharged
but continued in the hope that the
unpaid tickets will be accounted for
Mr.. Davis handed in list of mem
bers and the amounts owing by each
but this was not agreeable to
Mr.. O'Donoghue. and the motion to
continue the committee passed
Mr.. Lawlor. who headed the COM
mittee which ran the euchre in Janu-
airy, announced, too, that he had lbs
tickets still outstanding, and net
profits to date of $164. His committee
was discharged with thanks. The out
standing tickets, Mr.. Lawlor stated
are held by three men, whose names
he furnished the league officials.
