holder. No other candidate for free
holder was approved. Senator Austen
Colgate was Endorsed for renomina-
| ton. 1t was at this point that Messrs.
Harrison. Baldwin and Little called
a halt upon Endorsements. They ar
gued that there were too many can
didates for sheriff and surrogate to
warrant Western Essex in taking ac-
ton. 1t was then decided to take up
| these matters at the next meeting.
August Soffel, candidate for super
visor, and Scott German, candidate
for surrogate, were on hand to look
after their fences.
Taylor and Gayen vis-a-vis.
Chairman Herbert w Taylor, of
the Republican County Committee,
telephoned for Daniel F. Gaven, can
didate for surrogate, yesterday after
noon, and Gaven, In response, visited
county headquarters. The meeting Of
the two amounted to norning, as Tay
lor did not make clear the purpose
for which he sent for Gaven. 1t
seems TO have been a case of sitting
and looking at each other. Taylor
did not ask Gaven to withdraw from
the race, as some thought might have
been his intention. Had he made
such a request Gayen would not have
complied as he has the Endorsements
and Taylor is somewhat shy in that
regard.
