in the case to submit briefs on vari-
Gus legal points.
The defense produced Mrs. Fannie
Pearlman, who denied writing the
letter to the Perth Amboy police de-
which Detective John Murray Sc
cured the search warrant. Senator
Thomas Brown, representing the de-
fendant, contended throughout the
hearing that the Perth Amboy
police searched a residence and not
the residence of Wolfson. The briefs
will be submitted to the court next
Tuesday, and judgment will be rem
dered the following Tuesday.
Senator Thos. Brown, who represents
ator Thomas Brown. who represents
the defendant, made strenuous OBJ
Jection to the methods pursued by
the Perth Amboy police in securing
the necessary search warrant, in Sc
curing the evidence and the manner
in which the evidence was tested in

the Perth Amboy officers who made
the raid on Wolfson's place at

sented six bottles containing sam
pies of the stuff taken as evidence
at the Wolfson place.
Detective Michael Muska, another
of the raiding party would not tes-
tify that the evidence contained al
cohol. County Detective Ferd A.
David was called as an epert to give
his opinion as to whether the SAM
pies contained alcohol. He took a
sip from each bottle and quickly
spat it out each time. A vile odor
was forthcoming from the bottles.
Detective David said three of the
bottles contained high proof spirits
in excess of one-half per cent alco-
hol, one contained some alcohol and
two had some coloring substance
which was new to him. Senator

as Another Hudson Choice
HUDSON COUNTY ACTIVE


TRENTON, May 31.-The geogra-
ply of New Jersey will likely be an
important factor in the selection of
the next Democratic candidate for
governor. if political gossip heard
nowadays in the State House cor
ridorS is a criterion. Bearing in
mind that the last three candidates
of gubernatorial honors which the
Democracy has offered the electorate
of the state have come from the
party's Gibraltar In the northern
end of this commonwealth
sen county-the pertinent question
is: WRl the opponent of the next
Republican aspirant for the eXecu-
tive chair be from the same section
of the state. In 1913. James +.
Fielder, of that county. won the
nomination in the Democratic pri-
maries. IL. Otto Wittpenn, from the
same place, was the party nominee
in 1916 and in 1919 Hudson offered
Edward I. Edwards, now the en-
cumbent of the governors chair.
The question of geographical To-
cation Is just now of moment, a year
and quarter away from the pri-
mary contest, because of the talk
floating down to the State Capitol
to the effect that Hudson is groom
ing Commissioner A. Harry Moore,
of Jersey City, as the next candi-
date, which. if 1t comes about, will
mean four in a row for that slice OF
the map of New Jersey.
Democratic and Republican poll
ticians here have been discussing
the possibility of another Hudson
candidate with marked interest, par
ticularly since the recent Jersey City
commission election in which Mr..
Moore, the high man on the Demo-
cratic ticket. carried that munich
pality by 45.000 and boasts have al
ready been heard that this means
Democratic candidate for Governor
from Hudson in 1922 can get $4,000
and possibly 100000 there.
Leaders of the Democratic party
fom other counties are receiving
this prediction with mixed feelings.
While they want winner next year,
l. is known that just now there is
an undercurrent feeling among a
number of them to the effect that
Hudson county has taken off the
lions share of the patronage in the
present administration. Reference
has been made to the fact that the

administration have gone to Hudson:

Traffic Heavy In City

Nearly 5000 automobiles it is es-
timated passed over the ferry of the
Staten Island Rapid Transit be-
tween this city and Tottenville over
the week end and holiday. This
number is said to have broken all
records over the ferry for a holiday.
The rush began on Friday when
cars began to line up in Tottenville
for several blocks and again on
Saturday the line was extended
from the ferry out to Richmond
Valley, a distance of two miles. 1t
was 1880 o'clock in the morning
that the last of the line reached the
ferry after some were forced to wait
for two OF three hours before they

thing occurred on this side of the
sound yesterday, when cars were
lined up Smith street in High and
Market streets.
