Delegate Fight.

Although there is every Indication
that there will be a hot fight between
Senator Thomas Brown and County
Clerk Bernard NJ. Cannon for the
honor of being one of the delegates to
the Democratic national convention
from this district, it appears as
though Ferd Garretson, the other
Perth Amboy convention delegate
on the Republican ticket, however
Will have but little opposition. Col
Dinwiddie, the Metuchen Wood sup
porter, failed to file his petition and
despite the fact that Mr.. Garretson
has refused to pledge himself to any
one candidate, 1t is believed he will
receive the support of the General
Wood adherents.
Melvin A. Rice, of Atlantic High
lands, the third Democratic candi-
date for election as a delegate to the
convention, is considered to have a
strong following in both Monmouth
and Ocean counties. the other two
counties in addition to Afiddlesex
comprising the third district. AL
though it was reported at one time
this week that a deal might be
made whereby both Senator Brown
and Mr.. Cannon would drop out in
favor of Congressman Scully. this did
not mature, the congressman not
even filing q petition. and there
seems to be little likelihood now that
either Brown or Cannon will drop
out in favor of the other.

of that valuable metal stolen from
one of the plants of the Roessler a.
Hasslacher Chemical Company In this
city on Jan. 5, were arrested by New
York detectives in that city yester-
day. The local offices of the chemical
company nor the local police had not
been notified Of the arrests this morn
ing, the accounts in the New York
morning papers being their only
source of information.
The two prisoners described them
selves as Robert f. Carter, twenty
eight, miner living at the Hotel
Gerard, New York city. and Joseph
Frederick an actor, OF st. Louis.
Carter was searched and, according
to Detective Smyth. of the Lost Prop
erty Bureau, a Hotel Gerard baggage
check was found. The check, the de-
tective said. called for a handsome
handbag which contained about
$4,000 worth of platinum. Detec-
tive Miller also Of the Lost Properly
Bureau, worked with Detective
Smyth in making the arrests
Carter the New York police say,
first explained his having the plati-
mum In his possession by saying he
.mined 1t at Cobalt mines In Canada"
According to Detective Smyth
$4,000 worth of stolen platinum was
found several weeks ago in a jewell
er's place In Gold street, Manhattan.
where. according to the jeweler, 1t
had been sold by two men. Smyth
and Miller were in this store yester-
day when Carter and Frederick en-
tered, the two detectives then being
engaged in their weekly check up of
the jewelry shops of the lower East
Side.
The two men, Detective Smyth said,
offered $4,000 worth of platinum for
sale. and he Immediately arrested
them.
Prior to the arrests the two detec
tives found that big boom In plati-
mum had taken place. Many OF the
shop keepers, the detectives said re-
ported they had been buying Plati-
mum since Monday. Both men are
being held by the New York police
until further investigation of their
story can be made.
The New York police announced
that the Roessler & Hasslncher com
pany had been notified of the arrests
but apparently they referred TO the
New York offices as Jean--Du uBois,
factory business manager of the 1eeal
plant. stated this morning he had
not received n word officially, he
having gotten his Information from
the morning papers. The loyal police
were not notified of the arrests.

Office had notices published regard
ing the haul, and the country was
