Ex-Governor Franklin Murphy, Re-
publican National Committeeman from
New Jersey, who, in four years had
not spoken to Colonel Roosevelt or of
him except in terms of denunciation,
last night made his peace with the
Colonel.
To meet Colonel Roosevelt on MS
visit to the industrial exposition with
which Newark is celebrating its 25Oth
anniversary, Ex-Governor Murphy can
celled arrangements he had made ior
going to Chicago early in the week to
attend the opening sessions Of the Ma
tional Committee. Whether or not his
meeting with the Colonel will have any
effect on his action there is known only
to himself. Men high in the Repuo-
lican politics Of New Jersey declared,
however. that the meeting was the most
significant thing that had occurred IN
the politics of the state since the FRO
gressiye element in the party began
GIVING battle to the old line leaders
years ago.
Senator Everett Colby, the leader In
that movement, was one OF those VINO
held to that view.
Reconciliation a Big Event
at means more than anything else
that could have happened in New .er-
GOV" he declared. while tho ex-GoY-
ernor and the former President Joked
and laughed at the dinner given IN me
latter's honor at the Robert Treat
Hotel bv the committee in charge OF
the exposition.
The nearest approach that Mr.. Muir
ply gave to expressing an opinion was
at the exposition where, because OF
the peculiar arrangement of the hall,
Colonel Roosevelt was obliged TO speak
first from one side of the grandstand
and then from another.
ITS a good man that can make four
speeches at once" he remarked.
"The sort of candidate you need
this year." it was suggested.
"Yes," he replied. 81 think So"
The reconciliation with the New
Jersey leader was outwardly at least
most complete. Mr.. Murphy headed
the reception committee that met the
Colone at the Market Street Station
on his arrival from his triumphs in
Kansas City and st. Louis. He was
most assiduous in his attentions to
him at the hotel, where Colonel
Roosevelt renewed his acquaintance
with Mrs. William B. Kinney, Mr..
Murphy's daughter.
His attentions were marked again
at the exposition hall. where, as he
Colonel arose TO speak, Mr.. Murphy
handed him an American flag, with
which he waved his response to the
cheers of the 10000 there, gathered
to greet him; and the Jersey leader
was the last to shake the COlonePs
hand when he started TO motor TO his
Oyster Bay home.
Colgate Wears 4. X. Button.
The Murphy incident was but one Of
many in Newark. During the dinner at
the hotel. Austin Colgate, who Is the
organization candidate for Governor,
entered the dining hall wearing a
Roosevelt button, and was escorted TO
the head table, where he met the Colo
mel. Again the Colonel was interrupt

where Ex-Governor Franklin Fort, as
the head of a branch of the Roosevelt

words when ne sees them
Replying briefly, Colonel Roosevelt
thanked Newark for his reception and
explained that he would not be able to
sneak at Weequahic Park, where sec
ond address had been scheduled for
him. on the ground that after "a mid
ding lively four days" he needed some
rest.
Crowds Cheer Ex-President.

the hotel, and Broad Street, just be-
