NO RECOUNT,
SAYS NUGENT
Says to Do So Would disrupt"
Democratic Party

NEWARK, Sept. 26-In a brief re-
ply yesterday to a question: James
r. Nugent removed all speculation
as to a possible conflict in the Demo
cratic party over the primary returns
in Hudson county. .
He a i he had made up his mind
to drop the proposed recount in Hud-
son and to accept the decision as given
on the face of the returns.
He said he had no desire~to disrupt
the party, and he pointed out that he
had stated repeatedly during his cam
paign hat he had 40 thought of seek
ing in any way to disrupt the Hudson
organization, Notwithstanding the eff
forts of the Hudson organization
leaders to disrupt the Essex organi-
cation.
Mr.. Nugent expressed great pleas
ure over the vote he received
throughout the state, particularly in
Essex county. He regarded the vote
of his friends and neighbors in Es-
sex as the best answer to those who
have attacked him, and 1T pleased
him even more than any nomination
for office could have pleased him.
Returns from all but a few districts
in rural counties give Edwards a
plurality of approximately $4,000.
The majority for Edwards in Hudson
was 1886, and his vote over that of
Nugent In thirteen other counties
ranged from So in Ocean to 772 in

State Liquor Dealers to Start
Court Proceedings

League, liquor interests of this state.
delegates to the annual convention of
the New Jersey State Liquor Dealers
Protective League, laid plans to in
stantly start court proceedings to
hold up the enforcement of the fed
eral prohibition amendment o. con-
s%titutional grounds when the amend
ment would become operative on
January 16, 1870. The conviction was
expressed that the other thirteen
states holding the referendum privi-
lege will Join with New Jersey in the
test, and SO tie up the law that it will
take at least two years before the
highest courts have given a final rul-
ing.
Following the advice of high priced
legal talent, the delegates at the ses-
sion here today adopted resolutions
calling upon their counsel to insti-
tute an Injunction proceedings as the
first step in the fight the instant no
tice of the operation of the federal
amendment is served upon them.
Their principal fight will center
around the fact that state legislatures

people, and they are confident that
the courts will back them up in this
claim. They are also convinced that
many states that have been dry for
years will be demanding a referen-
dunn and once the prohibition is put
up to the people their battle will be
won.
The dealers had been confident
that the wartime prohibition law

they had information that changed
their views. Leaders expressed the
opinion tina the wartime ban would
still be in operation January 16 and
the short breathing spell would,
therefore, not be granted them. For
mer CONGRESSMAN M. E. Farley, OF
New York, addressing the conven-
ton, asserted that there was no pos
sibility of putting over any wet iegls-
lation. Congress was easily three to
one against any such things, so great
was the influence of the Anti-Saloon
League.
Members are not trying to inter-
pref the wishes of their constituents"
he said, in following up a statement
that the country was against prohibit
ton.
The convention gave President
Wilson full credit for holding up the
wartime prohibition a for six
months, and they lean strongly Dem
o~cratic, placing the blame for the
continuance of the war prohibition
on the shoulders of the Republicans.
