WITTPENN BEATS fielder
IN new JERSEY ELECTION
BY The United Press.

by The United Press.
TRENTON. \. j., Sept 20.-As the re-
suit OF yesterdays primary election in
New Jersey, Naval Officer II. Otto Witt
penn, of Hudson county, seems to stand
forth as a formidable Democratic can
didate for either the United States Sen
atorship or gubernatorial honors, which
are to be awarded a year hence. The
Wittpenn forces defeated the anti-Witt-
penn faction of Hudson county yester-
day after a hot primary campaign in
which a number of the naval officers op-
ponents including Governor Fielder, Sec
rotary of State Martin and Sheriff Kin
kead sought 10 put Wittpeun down ana
out as a factor in the State and county
for all time.
incidentally, it is of interest TO note
that while both sides in Hudson
claimed allegiance to President VIII
son. the Wittpenn men, who we're vic
torious. are conceded to have a better
claim on the executive and their sue
cess is therefore, in some measure, an
approval Of the President.
One Of the surprises in the six
State senatorial contests is the appar-
ent defeat for denomination on the
Republican ticket of Senator Blanch-
ard II. White in Burlington county

cate that Harold B. Wells has beaten
