pletely. There is no contest in the
Democratic primary, which leaves Hague
free to act II he wishes.
Power Of the Grand"
II Frelinghuysen or the Morrow
hackers peal plenty of grand" off the
old bank roll. it may have real effect
at the last minute
If all the church people--which in
Jersey is another way of saying all the
drys-line up for Fort, it may tip the
scales so as to bring him in a winner.
Whether Hague will undertake to
throw Democratic votes into the Re
publican primary is a question which
will be answered on election day. He
might throw $4,000 votes, it is esti-
mated, if he chooses, to one of the can
didstes. 1t is urged that he is likely
to do this for Frelinghuysen because of
his friendship for Jesse Salmon, Re-
publican leader in Essex County, which
includes Newark. Salmon Is said to
have delivered dozen Republican
votes in the State Legislature against
Republican ripper" legislation, which
hundred of Hagues henchmen on the
payroll. The report is to the effect
he has already promised Salmon to
deliver" for Frelinghuysen, Salmon's
candidate Salmon. by the way, is the
only Republican leader of magnitude
who is standing with Frelinghuysen in
this fight. The rest are with Morrow.
On the other hand, Mr.. Hague might
undertake to give Fort his Democratic
votes on the theory that Fort, a dry,
would be an easy mark for the wet
Democratic senatorial candidate, Simp-
son, next November.
The Democratic boss, however, is
much more concerned over the election
of Democratic governor next year
| than he is concerned over the election
of Democratic Senator this year. Some
of the Democrats here feel, therefore
that Hague may in the end keep hands
New Jersey elects a governor every three
years. The Democrats have been par
| ticularly successful in electing gov
errors on that account, for guberna-
| torial election falls in a presidential
year only once every IL years. Walter
Edge was elected governor in 1915. The
Democrats thereafter elected governors
until 1928, the next presidential year,
in which the gubernatorial election
the State usually goes strongly Repub-
iican Today it has 10 Republicans to
Democrats in the House, and Re-
publican Senators.
Morrow Camps Worry.
The Morrow camp has been worried
in recent days over the possibility OF
Mr.. Forts winning according to reports
One of these reports, which appears to
that only few days ago Senator Baird
| and Senator Kean called Jesse Salmon
| the Frelinghuysen leader in Essex
County, to confer with them in New
York and sought to prevail upon him
| to get FrelinghuySen to withdraw from
| the race in favor of Morrow. Whether
| Salmon could have brought Frelinghuy-
sen to withdraw is, to say the least, eX-
ceedingly doubtful, but the report has
1t that Salmon just laughed at the Re-
| publican Senators, who are supporting
Morrow. The story is retold merely to
show the state of bewilderment even
among the leaders as to the final out
come. Most of the political wiseacres
are predicting the nomination of Nor
row, some by $4,000 to $4,000 votes.
SO far as the Hoover administration
is concerned, it has not been particu-
larly involved in the primary race here.
Mr.. Morrow in his addresses has spoken
pleasantly Of the President and has
praised him heartily for helping to
| bring about the London Naval Confer
ence, which Mr.. Morrow claims was a
| great success. He speaks of the con-
| ference with considerable authority, as
| he was an important member of the
American delegation. Mr.. Fort, a close
friend of the President, has not failed
| to stress his devotion to the Chief
| Executive and to praise him for the
stand the President has taken in re-
| gard to prohibition Frelinghuysen
| worked hard for the election of Presi-
dent Hoover in 1923. The only phase
| of his campaign which might be con-
sidered in any way antagonistic to the
Hoover administration is his declara-
| ton of opposition to the entry of the
| United States into the World Court.
| The President is expected to urge the
| Senate to authorize the adherence of
| this country to the court under the
Root formula" 1t is quite true, how
ever. that the stand taken by both Mr..
Morrow and Mr.. Frelinghuysen on the
prohibition issue is at odds with the
stand of the Hoover administration.
Rejects Indy influence.
MIR. Morrow. whose son-in-law is one
| of the most widely known and admired
young men in the country, Col. Lind
bergh, has declined to win by SON
in-law." In some Of his speeches he
