HAMILTON KEAN
GAIN s T Av0R
IN M|DD[ESEX
Large Percentage of Women
Reported to Favor Senator
Edges Opponent
SAY SHERIFF FAv0RS HIM
Sheriff GoWen Refuses to
Deny His Large Follow
ing Is for Kean

Despite the fact that United States
Senator Walter Edge was quoted
while at the Cleveland convention
as saying he did not have any fears
as to Middlesex county supporting
him at this years primaries in his
contest with Hamilton F. Kean, fol
the senatorial nomination, sentiment
in favor of Kean is crystalizing ir
this county.
At the county meeting OF Repub
lican women held at Jamesburg las
week Kean's petitions were freely
signed. AS far as can be learned
there were no Edge petitions in cir.
culation. At least one half Of the ac'
tive Republican women in the county
are reported to favor Kean and many
of the male voters are now lending
their support to the campaign of the
Elizabeth banker.
Kean sentiment in Middlesex
county is growing. to such an extent
that the Edge organization here,
headed by the freeholders faction, Is
planning to hold a conference IN the
near future at which a representa-
LlfS lIOiA cNcLy PoAA al ehC -
will be asked to be present in order
that the situation might be discussed
and thoroughly understood. If it il
found that the Kean supporters are
gaining too much strength. the pres
ent senator may be forced to include
Niddlesex county with those in
which he expects hard battle.
The Sheriff Fred Gowen faction
in which is large one and said to be
growing daily, favors Kean. it is
learned on good authority although
the sheriff would not talk on this
matter when questioned today. The
fact that he has not come out open
ly for Edge is taken to believe by
many that he favors Kean. The
strength of Gowen's followers was
realized when he succeeded in gain
ing the shrievalty nomination last
year, the freeholder wing swinging
to his support when it was seen his
following might spike the free
holder candidates If Gowen was not
supported.
\ split in the Republican ranks OF
Metuchen last fall has not been
mended and many women and men
are openly for Kean. Other places
throughout the county report similar
conditions.

ANTITRUST LAW PROBE
BEFORE DAUGHERTY BODY

WASHINGTON, June 16.-The
activities and attitude of the depart
ment of justice in the prosecutions
under antitrust laws were discussed
today before the Senate Daugherty
investigating committee by A. Il.
Seymour. assistant attorney general.
While Mr.. Seymour dealt in par
ticular with the implied charges in
previous testimony that the depart
ment had failed to prosecute ade-
duately cases brought against the
Southern Pine Association. he went
over the entire subject of the en-
forcement of the laws in that re-
spect.
The Southern Pine Association,
Mr.. Seymour said. had been attacked
for it's conduct in price questions by
a proceeding now pending before
federal courts. Some of the delay
in bringing the subject to conclu-
sion, he said. was due to conflict
ing decisions OF the supreme court.
