That Hudson county politics is In
anything but settled state was evi-
dent on the twenty sixth annual out
ing of the Hudson County Democratic
Association. formerly the Robert
Davis Association, to Pleasure Bay.
Yesterday. One thing seemed certain,
however, from the opinions expressed
. on the outing, and that was that
Acting Governor James +. Fielder,
I who was among those present, would
carry his home county by very sub
stantial majority.
Although the various Hudson lead
ers are divided in their opinions re-
garding the fight for the various
county offices, they were almost
unanimous in declaring that for
mer Mayor Frank 5. hatzen-
bach, of Trenton, who was also
invited to yesterdays affair, but
who did not appear, would have put
little chance in Hudson. Even NUM-
her of Wittpenn men who were win
the latter in his candidacy for gov
ernor until he withdrew from the race
In favor of Fielder were of the opin-
ion that the latter would have an easy
time of II.
Governor Fielder mingled With the
large throng at the clubhouse before
leaving for Pleasure Bay and was ac-
corded a hearty reception. The Gov
ernor said he was confident or success
AT the primaries and expressed the pc
lief that he would be elected by a pig
majority. The Governor made the
trip ON the boat after reviewing the
parade. and in company with his sec
retary. L. Edward Hermann, made
thorough canvass of the boat. shaking
hands with everyone he met.

Warm County Fight.
The light for the county nomina
lions in Hudson this year is certainly
a warm one. Both the Wittpenn and
anti Wittpenn factions have framed
their states for the various county
offices and the candidates of both fac
lions were very much in evidence.
Cards bearing the pictures and names
of the candidates were being circu-
lated and the candidates themselves
buttonholed everyone. A thorough
canvass of the boat was made by As
semblyman Thomas f. Martin, OF
Weehawhen. the candidate of the
anti Wittpenn faction for State sem
ator, and his opponent, Assembly
man Charles NJ. Egan, majority leader
of the House.
