KINKEAD RECEIVES
FROSTY RECEPTION
ON HAUCK OUTING
Friends Admit Congressman Is
Losing Ground Fast in
Shrievalty Race.

The candidacy of Congressman Eu-
gene F. Kinkead for the Democratic
nomination for the Hudson county
shrievalty, received nothing if not
decided wallop on the annual outing
of the Peter Hauck Association. of
Harrison, held yesterday to Witzers
Pelnt View Grove, Long Island Kim
keao,s codntenance at the grove por-
trayed "down-in-t he-mouth" feel
ing. On the other hand. William F,
Glossy, the man whom Kinkead put
In the race for sheriff and then at
tempted to turn him down by enter
ing the fight himself, appeared more
than satisfied with the assurances of
support given him. Emil Groth an
olser candidate for the shrievalty,
was also in the limelight
The boat Minerva had hardly pulled
away from the dock yesterday morn
ing when Kinkead's Say q good
word for me- was echoing in mimic.
There was admittedly decided abb
senee IL the graciousness of recep-
ton which q. few years ago marked
k1nkead's mingling with the voters.
1t was plain to be seen that the con-
gresham had lost considerable
ground in West Hudson. Nothing
doing for him" was a phrase given
VOICE 10 DY many.
1t became known early in the day
that there was plenty of money in
Jersey City to be bet against Kin
kead, but no takers were to be found.
One prominent man of the county
declared he would post $1,000 as bet
that Kinkead will not do any better
than third in the race. This story
spread, and West Hudsonites We're
given an opportunity to learn Just
what Kinkead's chances are valued
at in the eastern section of the
county.
Another idea of Kinkead's alleged
control of West Hudson was exempli-
fed in the SUCCESSOR rather lack of
it-attained by him in trying to get
West Hudson man to allow his
name to appear on the Kinkead
ticket as a candidate for assembly
nomination. Several prominent men
were spoken to privately by Kinkead,
but the nothing doing" sign was
waved IN each instance. 1t was ar
gued that if man had the slightest
chance in the world to get the nomi-
nation, there would be no need for
adopting beggar measures.
That Kinkead, relying on West
Hudson to roll UP good plurality
for him, is going to get the surprise
of his life, was the statement of many
Democrats Opposition to him on
many grounds is being felt and ex-
pressed. Instead of improving condi-
lions there yesterday he appeared
bent on stirring up more strife. II
that was his object he succeeded adj
mirably.
A conversation he had with Mayor
Cornelius A. McGlennon, of East
Newark, who is a candidate for Con-
gress, seems to show that Kinkead
faneies he is a county leader in Hud-
son Democracy. He said to Mr.. Nc.
Glennop: 1T Is about time you an
nounced whether you are a Wittpenn
Democrat or Kinkead Democrat.
Mayor MeGlennon stepped back and
took surprised look at Kinkead in
which there was no descending,
what kind of a Democrat he shout
ed in establishment. "A kinkead
Democrat? Is your head swelled to
the degree that you put yourself on
a plane with Mr.. Wittpenn and Gov
ernor Fielder? I don't know what
you mean by a Kinkead Democrat,
but I am trying very hard to place
you with regard to my candidacy
The fact that kinkead seriously
meant to set himself up as the boss
of Hudson county caused lot OF
amusement at the grove during the
rest of the day.
One OF the pest, II, 1ndeed, NOT the
best friends Kinkead has in the
-Passaic towns made tacit
admission that the congressman's
chances are weakening at least so
far as West Hudson is concerned.
please don't ask me that question,
he said when asked whether he
thought Kinkead was as strong as
ever Honestly. L wouldn't like to
make an answer, and you don't ex-
pect 1t from me now, do your"
Pressed further on the question,
Kinkead's friend declared, Lets
talk about something else. I won't
say whether Gene has gained or lost
today"
Well could you eonseientiously say
ne had made any gain" was the next
question asked. There was no an
swer forthcoming.
Gerald r. F. Mcdonald, of Harri-
son. congressional aspirant, received
encouragement on the outing.
