to kow-tow to you and your interior
ence was uncalled for" said Candi-
date Glossy.
1t was not a happy occasion for the
Kinkead rooters. The conference be-
tween Kinkead, County Register John
J. Mcmahon. John P. Egan James
Norton, representing Commissioner Of
Public Safety Frank Hague, John F.
Boyle, Commissioner Henry Byrne
and former Assemblyman Thomas F.
Martin, was talked of. 1t had not
taken place up to $3.50 p. m. At that
hour all of the principals TO II disap-
peared and ii was rumored that the
conference was on.
Stories had 1t that the men were
to get together on ticket, If they
could, and were to report back to
Governor Fielder Secretary L. Ed
ward Herman denied those stories
in toto. He said there was no con-
ference on the program. Rumors of
one he admitted having heard but
he denied that Governor Fielder will
Governors Interest Limited.
Governor Fielder's interest in the
campaign is limited to a desire that
a strong ticket of Hudson Assembly
men be named" he said. He is de-
sirous that Hudson be represented in
the Assembly next year by twelve
able men. That is his sole interest"
When the conference finally got
together about p. M, the numbers
were increased by County Clerk John
F. Crosby, Mayor Oscar L. Auf der
Heide, of West New York; DIR. Bert
Daily, former Assemblyman Joseph
Duff, Councilman John j. DAILY, of
Harrison, and Commissioner Bren-
singers secretary, Joseph Fitzpatrick
If the conference was reported back
to the Governor it must have been by
telephone, for the participants in the
conference left the State camp and
motored to the Monmouth House at
Spring Lake to hold It. There they
sat and presumably wrangled until 8
D. m, when they announced that they
had decided to give what support
they control to the following slate:
For sheriff, Eugene F. Kinkead; for
county register. John ]. Mcmahon;
for county clerk, John F. Crosby; for
supervisor. Archibald NJ. Henry; for
freeholders, Oscar Auf der Heide,
George Murray and John Magner
FInke Gets the RazzIe.
The ticket. which began with the
startling substitution of Kinkead's
name for that of Glossy, who all
along was expected to get that place
up to a few days ago, shows two
other eleventh hour changes. Louis
L. F'inke was mentioned for super
visor. and all forecasts had his name
somewhere on the ticket Mr.. Henry,
present yesterday at Sea Grit evil
hod Oh, hnr1ac ba lin
late. He now appears as the candi-
date for supervisor. Finke was also
mentioned as a freeholder possibility,
but the place some persons antici-
pated would be his has been filled by
the inclusion of the name of George
Murray, assistant overseer Of the poor
of Jersey City
While 1t is not surprising that the
naming of Assembly candidates was
sidetracked to a later date, a signlf1-
cant omission Is the failure to settle
on a Congressional candidate in the
Twelfth District Some prophets have
asserted that Hamill will be Endorsed
by the Kinkeadites in addition to
having a place on the Wittpenn
ticket. Others insist that such an at
tempt would meet with such strong
opposition that it could never be car
ried out.
What actually happened at the con-
ference was that I<inkead made an
attempt to insist on the Endorsement
of Hamill in the Twelfth and John
J. Eagan in the Eleventh districts.
His attempt to run things met with
no success, and there was no indorse-
ment of Congressional candidates It
is understood that John J. Eagan will
later be Endorsed.
HamilI Scents Defeat.
In Hamilrs district there are two
candidates anxious to make the con-
test Both were present today. One
is former Assemblyman Arthur F.
McGrath. He said today that he is
as certain of victory over Hamill as
he is of getting the Endorsement of
the Kinkeadites, and declared that
Hamill's efforts to get the Kinkead
hackers to back him up is dictated
by Hamill's foreknowledge that he
is about to be beaten.
Police Judge Charles F. X O'Brien
Is another who is after Hamills
place. He says he will run in any
event, but it Is clear that he expects
to get the Endorsement of the back
ers of Kinkead.
Sheriff Nicholas p. Wedin when
asked how he stands in the fight for
stood. I am for James H. Clark, first,
last. and all the time, and he will
win" Asked to deny or affirm the
persistent rumors that and entire
county ticket will be named by him
to run with Clark, he said: There
is no truth in it"
Candidate Emil Groth, who shook
many hands, although wittpennites,
who are back of him, were as scarce
as hens teeth, said: IT am very we'll
pleased with the reception | got here.
] did not expect TO find such a good
feeling. understood that this was
arranged for a Kinkead day, but 1t
quite according to plans.'
At this point Candidate Groth had
hearty laugh. II have had offers
of support in quarters that / did not
expect II FROM" he continued II
