Trenton Says MiddIesex Sen
ator Will Work for New
Brunswick Man on Board

TRENTON, Feb. 14-Speculation
in political circles today had to do
with the action the state senate wll
take with Governor SilZer's four
nominations to the new state high
way commission.
Most interest centered about the
name of Abraham Jelin OF Ne "
Brunswick, personal friend of Mr..
SilZef's. 1t is understood that Sen
ator Larson of Middlesex is favor
able to the confirmation of Jelin
and this ought to go a good ways
toward his being approved by the
senate. Senatorial courtesy will play
its part probably in this and if the
representative from Jelin's home
county is for him it will be hard for
the other senators to oppose, de-
spite the known opposition of some
of them.
Opinions differ considerably as to
the four appointments. The general
impression given is that the names
win provide a well rounded high
way board with Percy H. Stewart
and General Scott, the names best
known in political and government
tai circles. There is talk, however,
that the bitter enders" among the
House Republicans who stood out
for a ripper" bill are not satisfied
with the results as shown by the
governor appointments. These
members apparently looked for an
even better board than the governor
has found and they are somewhat
in the Il told you so" position.
The failure to find a representa-
tive for the lower part of the state
and the grouping of all the ap-
pointees from almost the same ter
ritory was another cause for crisi-
cism. Stewart is from Union coua-
ty, General Scott is credited as
resident of Mercer, Jelln comes
from Middlesex, and Kidde from Es-
sex.
