been agitating a ffve-cent fare be-
tween Caldwell and Newark, has filed

from the Public Utilities Commission
as to whether he would have a hearing
on the subject. Mr.. Nutting, who in
tends to push the matter, has replied
asking for the hearing. He has been
promised the assistance of many
prominent townsmen.
Harry Hayell, chairman of the
transportation committee of the Cald-
we'll Board of Trade, said today that
the reason why the traction company
is holding up the cars at the top of
Montcair mountain for the collection
of the second fare was because many
of the patrons had taken advantage
of the former way of taking up the
fare as the trolleys go up the hill and
rode through to Caldwell without pay
ing the second fare The company
says this scheme has cost them about
SIS day, Mr.. Havell said.

man in East Orange.

has postponed the meeting of the
Democratic City Central Committee
to Monday night. The executive, who
Is the retiring chairman of the organ
ization, has left to visit his family at
Wilton, Conn.

of the postponement, it leaked out
who the candidates will be to succeed
the mayor as chairman. AS predict
ed Yesterday, one will be Playground
Commissioner w. Hillyer Ragsdale,
who is advocated for the office by
supporters of Mayor Gregory. For
rest P. Kaiser, who has been affiliat-
ed with the organization for a number
of years, will oppose Mr.. Ragsdale. A
third possibility is George H. Mutell.
but he Is not thought to have much OF
a chance of landing.
Supporters of MessrS. Ragsdale and
Kaiser have been scouting about in
terviewing the committee members
concerning who they favor. Mr.. Rags
dale and James f. Boyle, secretary
to Mayor Gregory, were out in the
formers machine yesterday afternoon,
and it was said that they were in
quest Of votes
Talk or a spit occurring oNei tie
selection filed the air today. Just
how much support Mr.. Kaiser will be
able to muster is problematical, but
1t is understood that he has received
many assurances of support. 1t Is
felt that If Mr.. Mutell finds himself
out of the running, his support will be
swung to Mr.. Kaiser.

circles today that doings are to be
lively at the Republican City Com
