The fact that Mr.. Bragg. who Is a
(
reform element which recently scored
a victory in The Norfolk county cleo
ton, was appointed as a special mag
strate about three weeks ago, Is de-
clared significant. 1t is charged that
his appointment was made for the

this case when brought, and that care
was taken to see that the appointee
agreed that the method Of bookmak-
ing at jamestown was a violation Of
law. Other magistrates in previous
test cases decided in favor Of the
jockey club.
Attorney General Pollard tonight

that acting under the Instructions OF

up all forms OF bookmaking at the
jamestown Jockey clubs race track.
He limited that further drastic meas
ures would be taken IL found mecca
sary, but would neither confirm or
deny the report that a second raid
was contemplated or scheduled Tor

Mr.. Pollard gives Governor stuart
the credit for the drastic measures
taken to uphold" the law. He is pre-
pared even to call for troops, il neces-
sary. He has been informed that

the Seventh New Jersey district,
which resulted in an overwhelming
victory for Dow II. Drukker, Re-
publican, who received nearly as
many votes as his four competitors,

Republicans profess to see in the
return evidence Of disapproyal Of the

of the voters. and signs of coming
together of disaffected Republican
faction that will guarantee Republi-
can success in the State and con-

feat of James J. O'Byrne. United
