BIC FIGHT ON IN NEW JERSEY

Newark, N. J., April 27.---Chief in- terest in teday's preferential presiden- tial primary in New Jersey was fo- cused on Republican contests where the voters were asked to express their preference for either Senator Hiram w. Johnson or Major General Leon ard Wood. Democratic voters were not asked to indicate a direct pref ere1ee. The unoEpcsed ''big four Democratic delegation is pledged to the candidacy of Gov. Edward I. Ed wards. Each party will elect 2S dele gates to its national convention. The RepeBe4ican state organization has split on the 'Rfg four'' delegation to the Chicago convention and from a state standpoint this contest over sl1adowed the wood-Jotnson contest. The press of the state has featured the 'fbig four contest as big fight for. political leadership between Sem ator Walter E. Edge and ex-Governor E. C. Stokes, chairman of the Repub- lican state committee Senator Edge and his colleague, Senator FreMng- huysen, who were left out of the fFbig four'' slate prepared by the state or ganization, were candidates pledged only to the choice of Republican vot- CTS as expected at the primary.
 Thomas R. Layden of Paterson and Mulford L. Ballard of East Orange
 are the avowed Johnson candidates for the 'Toig four" Sylvester L. Cor rothers and Isaac N. Nutter, both ne groes, are running as unpledged can dfdates for the 'fbig four,'' having en- tered the contest, they claim, because the organization refused to give their race a representative on the ticket

Damages are asked on the grounds of assault, battery and dis figurement arising from a quarrel at the home of Mrs. Harper's mother, 16 Prospect street. The husband. it is alleged, returned from service and found Dr. Daevis, a welcomed guest of his wife, at their home here. Ac- cording to the complaint, Harper called on his wife shortly after his discharge from the navy, September 1919, after serving several months overseas, and discovered that the af- factions of his wife were no longer his Following a heated argument, a fight ensued when it is saged that Harper was thrown. out of the house by pr.
