torial nomination against State
Banking Commissioner William f.
futile. Jr., of Westfield, who an
nounced his candidacy last week.
Tuttle's idea was to spike Silzer's
guns when futile found that Mayor
Hague, Governor Edwards, County
Clark Bernard Cannon, of Middle
sex, and other Democratic leaders
had decided to back Silzer.
Instead of discouraging or fright
ening Silzer, the Tuttle move which
is said to have had the sympathy,
if o the active backing of James
Nugent, Secretary of State Thomas
F. Martin, James Kerney, of Trenton.
and County Chairman Francis v.
Dobbins, of Union county, has only
led the Silzer advocates to put forth
mor determined efforts to get the
Circuit Court Judge to enter the
race.
Governor Edwards takes the view
that a primary contest for the
Democratic gubernatorial nominal
ton would not hurt the Democratic
party, but rather wake up the
Democrats and help to roll up a big
registry in the urban centers, and
that a heavy registry will greatly
help the party at the November
elections when Edwards expects to
defeat Senator Frelinghuysen and
when Silzer hopes to beat State
senator William n. Runyon for
governor.
Mayor Hague was in very good
humor yesterday.
The news that Silzer ia about TO
issued his statement as a tull-iedged
candidate for the nomination had
filled him with pleasure.
Tomorrow night James R. Nugent
will assemble his followers in New
ark and plans will be made for the
fall campaign. Silzer's statement
is to be out by that time and the
Silzer men figure it out that Nugent
will eventually back Silzer rather
than Tuttle.
