RETURNS LACKING
IN SOME COUNTIES
Havens's Withdrawal Mixed
Things Up in the Third Con-
gressionaI District.

| Hudson county by plurality OF l.
| 7S7 over Emil Groth, his nearest OPP
ponent, for the Democratic nominal
tion for sheriff In Jersey City, Kin
kead poled a plurality of LIZA votes
and in Bayonne 1921. Groth got a
plurality of 1889.
The total vote for the Republican
candidates for Congress in Union and
Morris was approximately 10000 Of
this number Morris County polled
4,179, of which Capstick received 1851,
or a majority over Fowler of 1,1S3.
Fowler had in Union County a ma
jority of about 800 to Offset the
strength of Capstick in Morris Coun-
ty. Fowler carried the city of Eliz
abeth by 607 but failed to carry the
combined districts in Union County
outside of Elizabeth.
Down in the Third congressional
district, which takes in MiddleseX,
Monmouth and Ocean, the result is
in doubt. William w. Ramsey, Re-
publican, has apparently carried Mon
mouth and Middlesex by 100 in each,
but Ocean county has upset calcula-
tons. There it is thought that w.
Burtis Ravens, who dropped out at
the last minute in favor of Clarence
70. F. Hetrick, carried the county by
$50. This is thought to be due to the
fact that thousands of Ocean voters.
who live in remote sections, had not
heard Of HaVenss withdrawal
Emerson l.. Richards, defeated Re-
publican candidate for the congress
sional nomination, would not say to-
day whether or not he will support
his successful opponent. Isaac Bacha-
rach.
The pre-primary fight in his district
was so bitter that Richards went to
la IN tac he % Do oha
rach's petition. 1t had been filed a
day late, Richards contended, al
though the court held Bacharach was
entitled to file it when he did be-
cause the previous day was Sunday.
j. Virgins Thorn. Progressive can
didate in the Fourth district, which
takes in Mercer, Somerset and Hun
terdon, filed his expense account to-
day 1t cost him $2.37, all told. Con-
gresham Allan B. Walsh is the Dem
ocratic nominee in this district. and
Elijah C. Hutchinson the Republican
Congressman John J. Eagan, who
represents the Eleventh district,
North Hudson, Hoboken and the Sec
ond ward of Jersey City, will go back
to Congress next year. The statement
is made thus emphatically because the
Democratic nomination is equivalent
to election in that district. This term
is Eagan's first venture into politics.
He is the owner of the Eagan Bust
ness Colleges in Hoboken and Union
Hill.
The Republican candidate in this
district is Jacob Straus. The district
enjoyed the unique distinction of hav-
ing the first woman candidate for
Congress. She is Miss Gertrude
Reilly, Socialist. She is on the bal
lot as the Socialist candidate and will
remain there at the general election.
If she were elected, she would not be
able to take a seat, inasmuch as the
Constitution distinctly says male" in
reference to representatives.
The senatorial nominees, as told in
yesterdays Evening Star, are as fol-
