DEMOCRATS CLASH
ABOUT FINANCES
East Orange Committeeman
Ask About Distribution of
Campaign Funds.

Lively arguments followed a dis
pute at a meeting Saturday night Of
the Democratic City Central Commit
tee of East Orange over financial
matters The claim Was made by
certain members of the organization
that they were given no money to
pay challengers at the polls on cleo
ton day. although funds had been
subscribed for the purpose. Mayor
Julian A. Gregory, W. Hillyer Rags
dale, chairman of toe committee,
and Washington NJ. Cross figured in
the argument.
Mr.. Cross declared he had given
funds to men in fourteen districts Of
the city, and this assertion led to the
statement by Mr. Ragsdale that If
such was the case money had been
given twice 10 some men. Messrs.
Cross and Ragsdale agreed to reveal
the identity of the men to whom they
had given funds. 1t was claimed to-
day by individuals at the meeting
that money had been given to those
who declared they had not received
any.
Mr.. Ragsdale claimed that Mr..
Cross had paid money to only six
district representatives, instead of
fourteen. 1t developed at the session
that Mayor Gregory had donated 500
to be paid for challengers, stipulating
that no funds should be given to men
he believed were working for his
Democratic rival for the office of
Arthur B. Seymour.
The men who claimed to have re-
ceived no funds were of the belief
that the committee had sufficient
money subscribed for the purpose,
but it eventually developed that the
realized scarcely enough
to pay the expenses of the head
quarters during the campaign.
