FACTION AGAINST RECORD
"Knoxites" Latest of His Foes
TO Effect ORGANIZATION.

The Republican party in Hudson Coun-
". n. j.. Is now split into four factions
Dlckinsonites, or regulars: Rotterdam
ties, who claim to be regulars. who de-
clared for Roosevelt: Recordites. ultra
Progressives. and Knoxites. Prosressives
who have procla lined their opposition to
Record.
II was Record who caused the break in
the party and organized what was known
as the New Idea, before the title OF Pro-
gressive was generally adopted. He ef-
fected an organization TO defeat Dickin-
son as leader. But II was Rotterdam
his own chief lieutenant. who endorsed
Dickinson and got control OF the county
committee but could not hold IL. The
Recordites and Dckinsontes combined
and wrested the control from Rotterdam
two years ago. Last fall the Rotterdam
ties Joined with the Recordites to get con-
troll OF the county committee. and put
fusion ticket in the field. which was badly
beaten. Dissatisfaction with Records
leadership and methods began three years
ago. 1t was charged he was more ex
acting boss than either Dickinson or
Rotterdam. Last fall Record was the
candidate for the Republican nomination
for Congress, and John Graham, who had
been his loyal follower, ran az an inds-
pendent against him, but was defeated.
Recently the open opposition TO Record
united under the direction OF Andrew
Knox and Theodore Bierck, who had been
prominent In Records cabinet. The rela-
tive strength of the two factions Will
shortly be determined. The Recordtes
are arranging for their annual dollar din
ner and the rival factions have combined
to have an opposition dinner on the same
night. The Knoxites have not formally
organized. but plan to do SO in few
days.

WILSON MEETS CRON|ES
Dimes with Old Princeton
Friends at Dodge Home.

Much Speculation.

old Princeton cronies at a private dinner
in the home OF Cleveland II. Dodge. No.
20 Park avenue, last night. Mr.. Dodge
refused to give out the names of those
he had invited to meet the President

was purely a Princeton affair. and that
those who participated In 1t were the
men who had stuck hard and fast 10 Mr..
Wilson during the latter years of his
presidency OF the university. Mrs. Will
son was also at the dinner.
Mr.. Dodge is a member OF the Same
class as the President-elect both having
been graduated from Princeton in 1873.
lie also was instrumental in raising
something like $4,000 for the Wilson pre-
convention fund among his Princeton
friends.
Before going to the dinner Governor
Wilson said he had no idea whom he was
to meet at Mr.. Dodge's home. but said he
was certain there was absolutely no po-
litical significance in the gathering. He
said that, so far as he knew. II was merely
social affair.
The President-elect arrived In New York
at Q o'clock, after having undergone his
usual Friday experience Of a two-hour
session in a dentists chair in Ph!ladel-
phia. He went al once to the University
Club. where lie wrote few letters, ana

LEGATION of the Daily Reporter
The Climax is one of the Oldest and
best papers in the State, and under the
management of Col. Walton. who is uni
versally regarded as one of the ablest
editors in Kentucky, will no doubt take
a new lease on life. While Lexington
will regret to lose him from its ranks of
newspapermen, there is some consola
in the thought that he will make the
columns of the Climax TEEN with his
brilliant scintillations that made the old
Stanford Inierior-Jourual, of which he
was the proprietor and editor for more
than a quarter OF a century, one of the
the most widely quoted country news
papers in the South.
E. G. Walton formerly owned and
edited the Orlando Daily Reporter Star,
but sold the paper TO Mr.. Keller some
two years ago. The business has grown
TO such proportions that Mr.. Walton de-
cided to buy back a half interest, which
he succeeded in doing last week.-Lex-
