HORNETS NEST
IN FOURTH WARD
Draws DalrympIe Fire by At
tack on Republican County
Committee "SIate."
COUNTY COUNSEL SAYS
RAYMOND WAS DlSLOYAL
Declares He Voted for Wilson,
HaussIing and FieIder-Hard
Words All Around.

The scene at the Republican Coun
ty Committee meeting two months
ago, when Mayor Thomas l., Ray
mond denounced County Counsel Al
fred n. Dalrymple as a "boss," and
Mr.. Dalrymple replied by calling the
mayor a "czar," was re-enacted on &
smaller scale last night at a meeting
of the Fourth ward executive COM
mittee. Charges just as sensational
as were made at the big fight were
made by both sides last night.
One lone Raymond man, Meyer
Zemel. proprietor of the Clinton
Hotel, in Market street. started the
music going, but in spite of his op-
position, Horace 3. Holcomb, county
sealer of weights and measures. a
member of the Fourth ward commit
tee for twenty-three years, and an
organization man. was elected to the
Craftsmanship of the committee, to
succeed the late Frederick Manners.
The meeting was held at Mulberry
and Cottage streets About forty
men were present.
County Counsel Dalrymple, who Is
a member of the committee. was
present and ma de a hot reply to Mt.
Iemel in a speech that was very em-
braciVe He told Zemel to go back
to the City Hall and ask Mayor Raw
mond if it isn't true that he voted
for Jacob Haussling, Democrat, in
1912, against Louis " Aronson, the
Republican candidate for mayor; that
he voted for Fielder, the Democratic
candidate for governor, and for Will
son, for president. Let him deny
it, the county counsel shouted
MIR. Dalrymple declared Mayor
Raymond pledged. his word to make
Fred Manners, the man who. the
mayor said had done most for him
in the primary campaign, q fire COM
missioner, and then went back ON his
word and repudiated Manners. The
county leader promised to make some
more revelations If the mayor )
friends persist in the lying tirade
they have started"
ZemeI Opens Fire.
Mr.. zemers address, which stirred
the hornets nest, and which he read
from manuscript, was as follows:
Gentlemen and fellow members of
this committee: We are assembled
here tonight, first. to elect a chair
man of this committee to fill the un-
expired term of our dead friend, Mr.
Manners, and second to ratify the
nominations of the Essex County Re-
publican Committee, of which we
have the honor of being members
thereof.
Il want to say before we go into
the matter of electing a chairman of
this committee that we ought to elect
a chairman that can at all times be
absolutely neutral and fair and just
when il comes to matters of recog
nizing factions in our party.
by that / mean man who is un-
der no obligations to either Dalrymple
or Raymond or any other political
power The late Mr.. Manners was a
man who was under no obligations
to anyone and acted so at all times,
and let me assure you he showed his
independence of the great 'ventrilo-
quist, Dalrymple, and his manikin,
Taylor, when he openly came out and
supported Raymond for mayor in the
last primaries. And after that the
great ventriloquist and his mani
kin did not have much use for Mr..
Manners.
"If Mr.. Holcomb releases me from
a promise ! made to him in the pres
ence OF Mr.. Lconardis I'll tell you
gentlemen how our late friend. Mr..
