No statement will be forthcoming

fer the gubernatorial candidacy OF

the Evening News was told yester-
day at the judges home in Metuch-

Doubt Candidacy In Trenton

TRENTON, May 25.-Doubt is be-
ing expressed here among political
observers as to the probability OF
Circuit Court Judge Silzer entering
the field for the Democratic nomina-
tion of governor, despite the many
statements during the last Few weeks
to the contrary. Within the last few
days friends of the jurist in Middle
sex county have given credence 70
this belief by their comments and
the known physical condition of Sill
ger seems to preclude any considera-
ton of his name at this time ana
for some time to come. The talk
about him has emanated mostly
from Hudson county where the party
leaders would like to put him in the
running.
State Banking and Insurance Com
missioner Tuttle, who has already
thrown his hat into the ring. has left
the state house for the week and SC
no news of his campaign plans Will
be forthcoming from here until Mon
day at least. On leaving yesterday
the commissioner was interviewed by
the newspapermen and he statee
that for the rest of this week ne
would be engaged in attending sew
eral gatherings related to his of1cla
duties. One of these is a dinner II
New York this evening TO President
Morton of the National Board oi
Fire Underwriters and another II
the semi-annual convention of the
New Jersey Building and Loar
League on Saturday at Atlantic
City.
The Tuttle-Silzer prospective con-
test has resulted in lot of vapor'
izing as to the probable lineup of thu
party leaders and factions through,
out the state. Much of this tan
is merely speculative so far as the
Tuttle supporters are concerned. al
though it is probable that Mayo
Hague of Jersey City, would pre-
vail upon his friends TO back Sii
