'iMr. Silzer says he will have
something in a few days and will
advise you"
This was the message given to the
Evening News today when telephone
connection was made with the resi-
dence of Judge George s. Silzer in
Metuchen, in an endeavor to settle
for all time. the question, as to
whether or not Mr.. Silzer will be a
candidate for governor on the Demo-
cratic ticket in the coming primary.
Although efforts were made to talk
to Mr.. Silzer himself. he did not
come to the phone, but sent the
fabove message.
Mr.. Silzer will leave for Atlantic
City today. where it is said. he will
spend a week or ten days recuper-
atlng from his recent illness.
No idea was obtained as to what
the message to be given out by Mr..
Silzer might be, whether it is that
he will enter the race or will not be
a candidate. However, II may be
assumed that whatever the some
thing is that Mr.. Silzer refers to It
will set at rest for all time the ques-
ton as to his entering the political
field this fall.
The leading politicians seem to be
as much "up in the air" as to what
Mr.. Silzer intends doing as everyone
else. and will in all proba bility be
on the anxious seat until Mr.. Sill
ger speaks.
For the past several weeks every
day or two, announcement has been
made by the leading politicians of
the state that Mr.. Silzer was about
to issue a statement. In fact GER
tain days were set on which the
statement was forthcoming. and al
though Mr.. Silzer's friends and those
who will oppose his candidacy in the
Republican ranks waited anxiously
for some word form the judge, moth
ing was forthcoming.
The Evening News has made sew
eral attempts to get in communica-
ton with Mr.. Silzer and learn some
thing definite in connection as to
whether he will enter the race or
not. On one of these occasions the
word was forthcoming from his
home that he was not interested at
the present time. Today's announce
ment that he will have something
in few days. is as far as known,
given out al the judges residence.
According to reports coming from
New Brunswick yesterday the Re-
publicans of the county realize that
if Silzer enters the race for COVER
nor on the Democratic ticket in the
primary and receives the nomina-
tion. that they have a hard fight
ahead of them in this county ami
for this reason are said to be anx-
iously awaiting any statement thai
Silzer may make. Local politicians
seem to have all lined up behind
Silzer as the ideal candidate and are
also awaiting the announcement of
his candidacy.

iously waiting the coming of former
