with President.
CANDIDATE SOUGHT
TO OPPOSE MARITIME
Man Wanted Who Will Have
United Support of All Demo-
cratic Factions in Jersey.

Trenton, n. j., Nov. i4.-Governor
Fielder and State Chairman Grosscup
will have g conference with president
Wilson on Wednesday, one OF the I'M
portant objects of which will be to see
that no more jokes are perpetrated
npon the unsuspecting voters OF New
Jersey.
United States Senator James l.. Mar
tine comes up for reelection next fall'
and il will be recalled that at the time
Of his election, five years ago Mr.. WI
son. then Governor of New Jersey, told
n number of Democratic Assemblymen
who had conferred with him that Mar
tines selection was joke on the 2eo-
nile of New Jersey that would never be
perpetrated again.
Mr.. Wilson supported MARITIME at the
time because the latter. having got the
Endorsement of the Democrats at the
primaries. furnished an effective
weapon to fight Jim" Smith. Demo
cratic boss, who also wanted to go to
the Senate.
The administration at Washington
has already announced its opposition
70 the reelection Of MARITIME, and one
of the purposes Of Wednesdays con-
ference is to select some Democrat for
Marines place Who will have the
unite support of al factions OF the
Democratic machine in New Jersey.
Garrison Urged Tor Place.
Secretary Garrison has been urged
nv Leading democrats here as the
Strongest candidate that could be
chosen. but Mr.. Garrison's friends mere
saw that he is perfectly content where
no is and that in no circumstances
will he consider becoming candidate
for any office in New Jersey.
IL is not improbable that the con
ferrees on Wednesday will look FAVOR
ably on the selection of Frank ,. Nat
Zenbach as the Organization cholce 10
succeed MARITIME. Mr.. hatzenoach Is
lin" Smith adherent. but that would
be in his favor just now, a., win
Presidential election coming on, every
effort is being made TO bring ABOUT
harmony in the ranks Of the Democrats
In addition to the Senatorship, II Is
understood that the selection OF can
didate for Governor and delegates 10
the coming national convention VIII De
discussed. OF course, II is not unlikely
that some kind Of Job for Mr. Gross
cup will also be taken up. lie is now
State Treasurer. but will lose that place
.ka moaning LEGISLATURE
gets a chance to select Republican IN
his place.
MARITIME to Make a Fight.
Senator MARITIME, however, is can
didate for denomination and reelection.
and he is going to fight for his place,
despite the opposition Of the White
House. Jim" has lot of friends
among the farmers of New Jersey. VINO
look upon him as great statesman ana
will stand by him to the end.
A lively contest for the SenatorshIp
is also brewing among the Republicans.
Both Ex-Governor Stokes and ex-Gov-
ernor Murphy will again lock horns for
the place. just as they did five years
ago, when Sir. Stokes won the indorse-
ment Of the Republicans at the prima,
res. A Democratic Legislature stood
in the way Of his election, however.
The lines In this contest are already
being drawn, Mr.. Murphy having, II IS
said. formed a coalition with DAVID
Baird. Republican boss Of South Jersey
ard soma minor bosses. Despite the
Joining together Of the bosses against
Mr.. Stokes, his chances Of winning are
better than those of Mr.. Murphy, VINO
is a pronounced stand-pstter.
