Park. who was defeated at the prim-
aries by J. Fred Orpen. of this city,
by a margin of thirty-nine votes, have
been dropped. it was announced by
Walter c. Sedan, his attorney, here
this morning.
Today is the last day, according
to law, under which such an applica-
ton for a recount could be made to
Supreme Court Justice James J.
Bergen. 1t was said early yesterday
afternoon by Mr.. Sedan that no
definite decision had been reached at
that time as to whether or not to
proceed with the recount. The small
vote polled in Perth Amboy by
Gowan is said to have been the reason
for his wanting the recount.
In a statement given out at noon
today, Mr.. Gowan said he had want
ed the recount because OF the possi-

iclS Gebhardt appearing in that
consecutive order of the primary
ballot. He said that these names
might have easily been confused
in tallying and pointed to his small
vote of less than 200 as a possible
proof. Mr.. Gowan said he has not
suspected or charged fraud and he
has no personal feeling against Mr..
Orpen.
II a recount was started. he points
out, it is doubtful if 1t could be COM
pleted by October Is, on which date,
according to law, the names of all
candidates must be in the county
clerks Office ready for the printer.
As a result. MIR. Gowan said. his
name would not appear on the bal
lot if the recount had not been COM
pleted by this date and he did not
feel that it would be practicable to
make a fight under these conditions.
He asks his friends and supporters
to cast their votes for the regular
Republican nominee and declares
that for the sake of complete har-
mony he has brushed aside his per-
sonal feelings.
