WILSON LEAGUE
JOLTS W|TTPENN

An attempt to secure the indorse-
Jersey City, as a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Cover
nor by the Woodrow Wilson League
of Essex County, last night, met
with defeat. BY vote of fourteen
to two 1t was decided to lay the
motion for Mayor Wittpenn's in
dorsement on the table.
Shortly after the meeting was called
to order in the headquarters of the
league in the Union building the mo-
ton to indorse Wittpenn was made
by j. F. MacGrath, of South Orange.
The latter made a speech in which he
eulogized the Jersey City mayor. His
motion was seconded by John l.. Ar
mitage, president of the league.
In supporting the resolution Mr..
Armitage declared he had been in
conference with Mayor Wittpenn and
knew that the mayor would appreci-
ate his Endorsement by the league. He
remarked that the matter had been
threshed out at previous meeting
and argued that the opportune time
for the league to assert itself had
arrived. He added that the indorse-
ment would be appropriate before the
testimonial dinner. which is to be
given to Mayor Wittpenn in this city
tomorrow night,
A number of the members were
strongly opposed to the Endorsement
of Wittpenn, and among those who
spoke against the resolution were
L Il la
Mason, William P. Macksey and
Thomas f. burning. After the mat
ter had been discussed at consider
able length a motion to lay the Witt
penn Endorsement on the table was
made by Bernard w. Terlinde. This
motion was carried by the vote of
fourteen to two. The vote was as
follows:
Ayes-Charles w. Chambosse, j. w.
Crisp, John L. Davis. John V. DEF
enthaler Thomas F. Burning, Will
lam Hamilton, ST., Nathan Kussy, e.
Tracy Lanterman, William p. Mack
sey, Charles NJ. Mason S. P. North
rup, John NJ. Rhodabeck, B. w. Ter
linde and E. A. Whittier
Nays-President John l.. Armitage
and j. f. MacGrath.
It was declared after the meeting
that an attempt to have the Witt
penn Endorsement voted on at fu
ture meeting would be made. Other
members asserted that this would be
impossible, as it would require ma
jority vote to take the Endorsement
from the table. 1t was stated that
the Wittpenn Endorsement resolution
was dead and would remain so.
Several members of the commit
tee were amused at the fact that
a messenger waited at the close OF
the meeting so that he could convey
the news of the Wittpenn indorse-
ment to the mayor at the earliest
possible moment. His long vigil was
in vain. ~
1t was also agreed at the meeting
that officers of the league and MEM
beers OF it's executive committee were
privileged to attend testimonial din
ners without representing the league
at such affairs. 1t was stated that
the appearance of any members at
dinner given to candidate would
not be taken as an indication of the
Wilson Leagues attitude toward the
candidate.
