PARTY LEADERS
DISCUSS FUSION
IN CONFERENCE
C. O. P. County Chairman and
Col. Howard, Progressive,
Have Long Talk.

Whether OF not the Republican or
ganization in Newark will enter into
the proposed fusion movement started
by the Progressive City Committee
will be determined tomorrow after
noon at meeting of the city MEM
bers of the county committee.
This is the statement made by Her
bert w Taylor, chairman of the Re-
publican County Committee, at CON
ference held today between himself
and representatives of the Progress
sive fusion committee.
Colonel James W. Howard, chair
man of the Progressive fusion COM
mittee, was responsible for the calling
of the conference. He said he wanted
to find out Mr.. Taylor's attitude on
the proposed fusion question.
Mr.. Taylor. at the conference, told
Mr.. Howard that he, as an individual
approved of the proposed fusion
movement, but would not answer for
the remainder of the county or city
committee. He said he could give his
personal views only.
Mr.. Taylor then explained that a
meeting. had been called for tomor-
row afternoon of the city members of
the county committee. The matter
would be placed before them, Mr..
Taylor said, and the attitude of the
q. Q. P. organization toward the
fusion question would rest with the
decision of the city committee
Colonel Howard declared this was
satisfactory to him, and asked that
If the committee reported favorably
on the question that Mr. Taylor be
one of the five men to represent the
regular Republicans.
Colonel Howard in explaining the
idea of the fusion movement said it
rps
make the matter a success. He de-
clared the CO O. P. was the largest
of the three parties concerned, and
had more experienced men than
either of the other parties. He made
it emphatic that the fusion candidate
for mayor was to be d Republican.
He also advocated fusion on the
Board of Works candidates, but the
details of that branch were not dis
cussed.
Mr. Taylor said that the meeting of
the city committee tomorrow would
be an executive one and could not be
made public. Colonel Howard sug-
gested that the members of the Pro-
gressive committee be allowed to at
tend the session and explain the OBJ
ject of the movement Mr.. Taylor re-
piled this could not be done
He further stated that if the com
mittee decided to enter the fusion
movement the candidate for the
mayoralty would be selected at the
meeting tomorrow
AT the meeting besides Mr. Taylor
and Mr.. Howard were Ulysses B
Brewster, Republican, and G. NJ
Judd, Progressive The independent
Democrats. who are supposed to make
up the third faction of the move
ment, We're not represented.

ALDERMAN CANN
ENDORSED IN NINTH
Republican Regulars a Unit for
Him-Liked by Pro-
gressives, Also.

BY the unanimous Endorsement of
Alderman Frank w. Cam for re-
nomination, the Ninth Ward Repub-
threw a bomb into the ranks of the
Ninth Ward Progressive Executive
Committee, which had indorsed the
candidacy of Charles ]. Eichhorn, a
Republican, several nights ago. Fol-
lowing the unanimous Endorsement OF
the G. o. P. committee, many of the
Progressives favored Alderman Cam
and ass a result the Progressives OF
that ward are said to be disrupted
over the aldermanship at least.
The meeting last night was held at
the Republican Club, 81 Elizabeth
avenue. Nearly one hundred mem
bers attended the session 1t is said
that Mr.. Eichhorn has declared that
he will not be a candidate unless he
receives the Endorsements of both
the Progressives and the Regulars.
The reverse of last night will likely
put Mr.. Eichhorn out of the race in
favor of the present alderman.
A little inside story is going the
rounds of how the Progreesives tried
to put one over" the Republicans in
thu Ninth ward. 1t is said that two
"soreheads' in that ward tried to
force an opponent against Alderman
Cam because they did not secure po-
sitions on the city's payroll. The
narrative goes on to describe the in
side workings of the two sore
heads" and how they tried to get the
G. o. P. committee to turn down
Cam.
Then, after it was seen that Cam
was the popula' choice. The men, it is
said, went to the Progressives with
their line of talk" From all reports
the Progressives fell for this and
Endorsed Eichhorn.
After a few days the wise ones in
the Progressive ranks "smelled a
rat" and started to investigate. They
did, and in the end Alderman Cam
was sent for, it is said. The story
then goes on to relate how Alderman
| Cam opened the eyes of the Pro-
gressives by narrating his record in
tho council.
The last chapter of the tale tells
of disorder in one of the Progressive
meetings, when many tried to have
the first Endorsement rescinded and
make Mr.. Cam the choice of both
the Regulars and Progressives. 1t is
said that the Progressive party In
the Ninth ward will fuse with the
Republican party over the mix-up.

WILSON [EAGUERS
NOT FOR FUSION
lndorse Edward Schickhaus for
County Supervisor-No Spe-
cial City Ticket.

All thoughts of fusion were forgot
ten at the meeting of the Wilson
League last night, when Edward
Schickhaus was unanimously Endorsed
for the Democratic nomination for
county supervisor. In lieu of advanc
ing the fusion movement, all present
sung the praises of the Democratic
candidate and promised to work for
his election This was a hard blow to
the Progressive committee, which has
been at work trying to have the VIII
son Leaguers and the Progressives
fuse.
In spite of the announcement made
yesterday that complete county
ticket would be placed in tine field. the
session last night was adjourned with
four nominations open. Time and
time again they tried to agree, but
without avail 1t was announced to-
day that the league will not have a
city ticket of their own nor will they
indorse any one but Mr.. Schickhaus.
I'VE all know that Mr. Schickhaus
is an ardent Wilson supporter and We
must support him." said J. l.. Ar
mitage, president of the league. today
HE is a real man and a real worker
and we will strive to elect him.

son League is concerned. After last
nights meeting the same old Progress
siVe faces We're seen about the Wilson
headquarters trying to win the league
over, but as one man expressed it,
Their cause is a lost one
There was marked division of
sentiment over the question of in
dorsing Harry f. Backus, the regu-
lar Democratic candidate for surro-
gate. Frank Boettner put up a strong
. fight for Backus. as he also did for
John j. Bracken for sheriff Others
seemed to feel as Boettner felt.
Bernard w Terlinde led the opposi-
= ton to BaelSus. 1t was decided to do
nothing in regard to the shrievalty

ing Anderson with the larceny of

OYSTERS SOON WILL BE IN SEASON;
COST OF SOFTSHELL CRABS GOES UP

oysters will be in Centre Market
for the first time this season Satur-
day morning. A shipment of Blue
Points will be received at that time.
The dealers do not promise much for
this shipment. saying that the Blue
Point oysters DO not obtain a good
flavor until later in the sea-
son. It is expected. however. that
some very fine Rockaways will be in
the stalls on Monday.
The market fish merchants declare
that they have not been affected by
any combination of wholesale 1sh
dealers, and quote prices to sustain
this statement. In the main the quo
tations are the same as last week.
The only marked increase IS IN tie
price of softshell crabs, and these are
disappearing from the market. The
soft crabs were sold for eighty-five
cents a dozen last week, put now
cost dollar and quarter a dozen.
Hard crabs, too. are becoming
smaller and more scarce. They. how
ever, hold the price at which they
were sold a week ago, bringing fifty
cents a dozen.
For several years it has been the

Still After Officers of
Bankrupt Hat Corporation

Edward Crossley, manager of the
Phoenix Hat Works, was put through
a severe grilling in the Bankruptcy
Court today by Nathan Bilder, repre-
senting creditors of the bankrupt
Kearny Hat Works. Mr. Crossley
was formerly manager of the soft hat
department of the Kearny Hat Works.
William A. Baglin was president of
the bankrupt Company and his son,
Alphonse Baglin owns the Phoenix
Hat Works. The whereabouts of the
elder Baglin are unknown, it is
claimed.
Mr.. Bilder, in his grilling of Cross
ley, attempted to ind if the Baglins
had made any plans for disposing OF
their stock, in anticipation of bank
ruptcy. The testimony of the witness
revealed little more. Baglins testi-
mony for the most part consisted OF
the narration of his duties as an en-
ploye of the bankrupt company. The
hearing is being continued
