PARTY LEADERS
GETTING BUMPS
CONTINUED from First raee)

they took tea, and over the cups
Tumulty told Kinkead that he could
do as liked about the postmastership
and the shrievalty, as President Will
son would have nothing TO do about
the Hudson county mixup; that he
was determined to wash his hands of
the whole matter and let his hands
stay washed. If Wittpenn was going
to capture leadership honors from the
governor or the governor was TO make
his leadership the more emphatic, 1t
must be question for their own set
tlement.
This unexpected attitude on the part
OF the administration is said to have
nonplussed the congressman, If such
thing is possible. Could do as he
liked. The President not at all in
terested? Not concerned? Wouldn't
even ask him toN'please do or please
don't?" Not a chance left for Kin
kead to say: why, certainly, Mr..
President, I'll hold on 20 the post
mastership and forego the pleasure
of running for sheriff If it will be a
favor to YOU
So the congressman'e conclusion IN
the matter must be determined by
any moment
II is not thought that he will run
for sheriff.
Glossy There With the Punch
Chief William r Clossey, of the
Boulevard police, who has been looked
upon as the choice of the anti
Wittpennites for the shrievalty NOM
nation, will not get out of the race
for Kinkead or anyone else. When
word was carried to him of the likeli-
hood of the congressman becoming a
candidate and that he might be re-
ouested to stand aside, the big chief
delivered a political address. 1t was
short, if not sweet, and in way a
positive declaration of Independence.
Me quit" he exclaimed. NOT
on your life. I'll stay If l only
get ten votes in the primaries.
| That anti Wittpenn push is bunch
| of four-hushers If anyone comes to
me and asks me to get out, I'll punch
him in the jaw"
No one has had the temerity to put
| the ugly question to Glossy as yet,
but the other night at picnic a man
| insulted him and Glossy handed him
a wallop This may have been merely
| q little training for the bigger event.
| Sheriff Wedin's candidate, has also
announced that he will not pull out
of the contest for any man or set of
men.
Fielder Turns the Tables.
People here see a spark fom the
little unpleasantness between Gov
ernor Fielder and State Chairman
| Grosscup over the Limouze- Hopkins
episode in the incident at Trenton
yesterday when John A. Smith, of
! Camden, was appointed State House
custodian TO succeed John w. Wese-
man, of Newark, who resigned. Wese-
man is a Republican.
The custodian is chosen by the
State House Commission, which con-
sists of the Governor, State treasurer
and State comptroller Treasurer
Crosscup opposed Smith, claiming
that he was friendly to State Com.
mitteeman James r. Nugent, of New
ark. and had even worked against
| him (Grosscup) last fall. Camden
county leaders, he declared, were also
against Smith. Comptroller Edward
l. Edwards championed Smiths
cause.
Edwards forced the claims of his
man yesterday and the Governor
sided with the comptroller. thereby
electing Smith. The position pays
$500 a year The Governor by his
act. turned the tables on Grosscup.
The State chairman is understood
to be considerably put out over the
matter, almost as much provoked as
the Governor is understood to be
over the rundown of George Limouzt
for the election board Job.
