persistently refused to Withdraw
from the senatorial race when the
Democratic slate was finally pre-
pared on the annual outing of Mid
dlesex county Democrats to Felt
mans at Coney Island yesterday.
Prosecutor w. Edwin Florance, of
New Brunswick, is hailed as the reg

cause party disruption, Mr.. Quinn
finally agreed to leave an adjustment
Of the matter in the hands of the
Democratic County Committee, who
are scheduled to meet In special ses-
sion Friday night to decide the ques-
ton
The outing yesterday was one OF
the most enjoyable yet held by the
Democrats of the county. Today the
Republicans of Middlesex are holding
their annual outing to the same place.
The political bee is buzzing lively and
many discussions regarding the out
look took place. Both sides saw only
victory, but one must be disap-
pointed.
The Democratic ticket for the COM
ing fall is scheduled to be made up as
recently predicted in the EVENING
NEWS. 1t is topped off with Mr..
Florance. He has the support of a
majority of the leading Democrats, 1t
is claimed. He is especially desired
as man appealing to all classes OF
voters. Mr.. Quinn's friends claim
An}abor leader of local, state and ma
tl5lnl reputation. In event that he
shcuNobe chosen as the stronger can
didate when the county committee
meets Friday night, another local
man would be picked as third as
sembly candidate, otherwise Mr..
Quinn will be one of the regular as
sembly candidates up for reelection.
The other assembly candidates will
be Charles Anderson, of South River,
and DR.. E. Leon Loblein, of New
Brunswick. They are serving as as
semblymen at the present time. AS it
Is expected that Mr. Florance will be
picked over Mr. Quinn, provision has
been made for filling the prosecutor
position. Assistant Prosecutor John
A. Coan, of South Amboy, is slated to
become prosecutor, and former As
semblyman John P. Kirkpatrick is
scheduled to be made assistant
prosecutor.
The regular candidates for free
holder are the present incumbents:
Theodore Cohn, of New Brunswick;
Andrew Ely, of Dayton; Anthony J..
Gebhardt, of Highland Park; Alfred
T. Kerr, of South Amboy, and Will
liam D. Casey, of Roosevelt. There
are others who aspire for the Of
fees, prominent among whom is
James F. Burns, of this city. Mr..
Burns has sign attached to his au-
tomobile urging voters to support
him. 1t is reported that Mr.. Eden,
of Highland Park, has been added to
the Republican list of freeholder as
pirants.
The Democratic excursion yester-
day was attended by 780 men. 1t
was conducted as originally planned,
except that the steamer Albion was
late in starting from the various
stopping places. Stops were made at
New Brunswick, Sayreville, South
Amboy, this city and Roosevelt, both
coming and going. The excursion
lists arrived at Coney Island about
1870 o'clock yesterday afternoon and
at 2 O'Clock they sat down to par
take Of shore dinner at Feltman's s
place. No speeches were made.
Upon returning the local party ar
rived here shortly before 8 o'clock
last night.
kutcher to Run Again.
1t has practically been decided to
have Alderman John Kutcher run for
reelection in the fourth ward. Mr..
Kutcher does not appear anxious to
run, but to give aid to the party he
may again enter the campaign. The
other aldermanic candidates are as
previously announced: Alderman-at-
Large W. Guy Weaver up for re-
election, and Aldermen John W. Kelly
and Chris Jorgensen up for re-elec-
tion in the second and sixth wards,
respectively.
Little has been said concerning ex-
else board candidates on either side.
1t was evident yesterday that they
are positions which the Democratic
organization men little care to in
terest themselves about. Announce
ment is made that Michael Lakomski
will be one of the aspirants for the
Republican nomination for excise
