Sure Of New Jersey.
New Jersey I regard as certain for

primaries there polled nearly 10000 votes
more than were cast in the State for
Wilson at the Presidential election in
1912. The Republicans are united. where
as the Democrats are torn by factional
strife and are apathetic. The Repubu-
cans have a strong State ticket. The
Democratic ticket Is wofully weak.
New York, Hughes home State. will
