Wittpenn Gives Quiet Warning
That His Candidacy Must
Be Recognized.
From a stafF Correspondent.

in their much- advertised conference
yesterday afternoon, when Joseph P. !
Tumulty. secretary to President Will
son, demanded in behalf of the
Democratic party of Hudson coun-
ty, that the warfare In Hudson
cease. The firmness and finality of
Mr. Tumulty's words could not be
mistaken, and 1t was a mighty sober
minded crowd of politicians who dis :
persed from Democratic headquarters
an hour later.
AS a climax to speeches by Governor
James F. Fielder, Secretary Of State
Thomas F. Martin and Fl. Otto Witt
penn. Mr.. Tumulty's address was in
deed a thriller. .Timid politicians"
who have not grasped the opportunity
offered the party by the national adj
minlstration were not spared. and
those wrapped up in their own sell
fish jealousies" were told thing or
two, and then some
Mr.. Tumulty, himself a resident of
Hudson, spoke as a neutral and did
not specifically aim his remarks at
either the Fielder Martin or Wittpenn
faction. In fact, his stirring remarks
were TO a certain extent of appllca-
fering from serious internal strife.
That the settlement of the Hudson
difficulties be started Immediately Mr..
Tumulty demanded. and he, therefore,
asked the appointing of a mediation
commission.
