been little talk recently of William
Olsen entering the race.
Mr.. Hardiman has been an ardent
worker of the Democratic party in
his own ward and throughout the
city, and Democrats in the Republic
can stronghold look upon him as an
able opponent for the present rep
resentative, John z. Sofleld, who will
seek reelection.
The Democratic candidate has a
coed military record, having served
overseas for some time in the great
a He is associated with various
military and social organizations in
this city. Mr.. Hardiman is a phar-
macist connected with Seaman's

TRIES TO MAKE ESCAPE
FROM DEATH HOUSE
CONTINUED from page ~


Just how Young managed to get
through the ventilator without being
observed by the guard is what War
den Hoff is now investigating. There
are five occupants of the death house
at the prison at this time. This is
believed to be the first escape from
the death house in the history OF
electrocutions at the prison. The
condemned man used a pipe extend
ing from the wall to swing himself
up to the ventilator, according tc
the theory of his escape. No shots
were fred in the arsenal yard. When
he was captured he was taken out
through the arsenal gate and march
ed down the street to the main on
trance to the prison and through the
back to the death house.
II did try to escape. but had no
intention of injuring any one" was
the statement of Young after he was
captured by the prison guards. II
Ia understood that his counsel,
Frank Cleary of Camden, Is on his
way up to Trenton today to ask Gov
ernor Edwards for a reprieve. While
