Walker, Flynn and Bird polled
heaviest In the big Democratft: free

ing stood: Walker, 671; Flynn, 667;
and Bird, 483; Kerr, 240; Clark, 180;
Fallon, 96; Kirkpatrick, 94, and
Delnzer, 53.
The Republican freeholders run
ning for reelectlon came out high in
tills city by heavy majorities, the vote
being as follows: Haight, 967; Bel
| loft, 725; Rltz, 311; and Hannah, 283.
There were the usual freaks on the
| ballots, some men voting for none of
the candidates named and writing in
only one name. A few of the much
famed Gannon Republicans were re
corded while there was one balloter
who distinguished himself by voting
for John J. Clark for nearly every
office on the ticket, including county
and State committees.
The clerk’s office at the city hal
was a truly busy place from 10:30
o’clock until after midnight last night
and was the center for Republicans
and Democrats alike. Attention fo
cused on the governorship race and
steadily Bugbee and Edwards forged
ahead. Old hands at the political
game were dumbfounded when one of
the districts came In with a majority
for Raymond and many a laugh was
had at the expense of one candidate
or another as the votes shifted from
one direction to the other.
Congressman Scully's failure to
draw South Amboy for Edwards des
pite his bitter attacks on the Essex
county Democratic mogul elicited a
prolonged buzz of conversation when
the reports were received over the
phone from the city across the river.
"Tho Raritan makes a big difference.
It’s an awfully wet river” ’twas said. j

Says General Garibaldi Upon Ar
rival in Paris From Rome
By The Associated Press.
PARIS, Sept. 24—"As a nation we
consider the Fiume matter settled,
because we have actual possession,"
sajd General Giuseppe (Peppico)
Garibaldi to an Associated Press rep
resentative here this morning. He
had just reached Paris from Rome,
coming on what was said to be an Im
portant mission, from which he would
go to meet Gabriele d'Annunzlo, the
Insurgent Italian leader in posses
sion of Flume.
"Had d'Annunzlo not gone In," con
tinued Garibaldi, "we would have
done It within fifteen days. If Pres
ident Wilson was moved by the right
spirit,” he added, "he would permit
the whole question to be decided by
France, England and Italy. In that
case, we are satisfied that our rights
would have been recognized, as they
are already recognized by the major
ity of Americans, in whom Italians
have absolute confidence.”

Chicago Situation.

CHICAGO, Sept. 24.—While leaders
of the striking steel workers, in the
Chicago district and heads of steel
mills, each claiming gains, there ap
peared little change today in the num
ber of plants in operation.
A majority of the mills were closed,
and practically every one in operation
worked with a reduced force. Two
of three plants at East Chicago em
ploying 1,800 men are not affected by
the strike, because of an existing
agreement between workers and em
ployers. Reports were in circulation
today of the importation of strike
breakers into the Chicago district and
that some of the mills idle since Mon
day contemplated resuming opera
tions by pooling workmen who shouid
remain loyal.
The only disorder in this district
since infection of the strike occurred
at Indiana Harbor, Ind., last night
when strike sympathizers outside the
Conte plant of the Mark Manufac
turing Company, attacked about
twenty-five men as they left work.
Eight or nine men were badly beat
en and were taken to an emergency
hospital after the police had stopped
the fighting. A number of shots were
fired at the police, but none w^re hurt.
A negro striker carrying a rifle was
arrested.

Democratic Machine
FREEHOLD, .Sept .24—up to 11:15 j
o'clock today sixty-four ©f the ninety
seven districts in Monmouth county
in the Republican primary had been |
heard from and these gave William j
N. Runyon the nomination for gov-1
ernor by a close majority of 149. he j
having received 2,147 and Bugbee j
1,998 of the votes cast. But thirty I
districts in the Democratic primaries
| had been heard from and these gave
Edward I. Edwards the nomination
by 467 votes, Edwards receiving 1,337
and James R. Nugent 910 of the votes
cast. Warren C. King was low man
In the Republican primaries for gov
ernor In the county, receiving but
151 votes, while Thomas L. Raymond,
the next highest, received 866. Frank
M. McDermit was low man on tho
Democratic ticket, receiving but 211
votes.
The greatest surprise of the elec
tion is that Thomas P. Fay, the
Democratic candidate for state sen
ator, won out over George A. Steele,
one of his opponents, by 191 votes.
Steele throughout the campaign has
received the undivided support of the
Democratic organization throughout
the county and the organization
worked for Steele's nomination atj
the polls all during the primary yes
terday and in the opinion of thoso
who are the recognized leaders it
was thought that 8teele would carry
the county by a lar^re majority. Wl»
liafcn Hartshorne, also a candidate,
received but 347 votes.
In spite of the fight put up by
William M. Thompson, of Red Bank,
for the county clerk nomination on
the Republican ticket, Joseph Mc
Dermott, the present incumbent of
the office, according to late figures,
carried the county by a majority of
1,147 votes. The fight for this nomi
nation had been a stiff one and
Thompson seemed to be the favorite
in some of the localities. The total
vote is: McDermott, 3,285; Thomp
son 9 19 8
Cornelius B. Barkalow, a former
sheriff, ran on the Democratic ticket
for county clerk against Robert C.
Thompson. According to the latest
figures Barkalow had carried the
county by 547 votes, receiving 1,527
votes to Thompson’s 980.
According to figures at the present
time, the assembly candidates on the
i Democratic ticket will be James C.
! Richdale and Raymond Fesler, E. Ely
Parker having lost out.
In the Republican primary for state
senator. William A. Stevens seems to
have won by 99 4 votes. T. Lloyd]
Lewis having received 2,074 votes to
Stevens’ 3,068.
The Republican candidates for as-]
sembly will be Richard W. Stout and
Dallas G. Young. Stout having re

votes cast. Michael Weinstein and
Isaac Van Tine also ran for assembly
on this ticket, but were defeated,
Weinstein receiving 1,260 and Van

The Paris Restaurant at 139 Smith

to $25,000. Messrs. Mezines and
Cockoros, are the owners of tho Eagle
Confectionery store, located at 129
Smith street, Mrs. Bertha Bloyen
was formerly connected with the Mod
ern Restaurant and sold out to Walter

a cleaner establishment.
The kitchen of the restaurant will
be open for inspection to anyone, and

come in and look around. The hotel
which at the present time, contains
quite a number of rooms, will be re
paired in several wys, which will aid

to give bettor service.

Good fortune is a fairy that smiles on boys

laws—who take a lesson from the squirrel who
stores nuts for winter; the dog who buries the

the bumble bee who hides the precious honey in
the ground; and the ant who fills numerous un
derground storehouses. Ask father for a dollar

Bugbee Leads Runyon
Who Refuses to Admit Defeat
(Continued from page l.}
Coming back to the Bugbee-Run
yon contest, some people this morn
ing still hoped for a victory for the
acting governor, but it was impossi
ble to figure it out from the returns
at hand. The figures on both sides
in Mercer county were: Bugbee 7,
882, Runyon 2,124, Raymond 1,038,
King 209; Democratic, Edwards 1,
834; Nugent 2,06 4, and McDermitt
120.
The acting governor ran well in
Essex, Burlington, Passaic, Union,
Monmouth, Morris and Ocean. Bug
bee seemed to hold Atlantic, Bergen,
Camden, Cape May, Cumberland,
Gloucester, Hudson, Middlesex safe
ly. ^
Nugent carried in addition to Mer
cer, Passaic., Essex and Union. His
expected strength in Camden failed
to develop and the same proved true
of the light Democratic vote in At
lantic. Edwards ran consistently
throughout the state.
Democratic State Chairman Mc
Donald’s home, Englishtown, turned
in sixty-seven for Edwards to none
for Nugent. Thomas P. Fay, of Dong
Branch, has apparently beaten
George Steele, of Eatontovvn, for the
Democratic senatorial nomination in
Monmouth. Steele was the organiza
tion candidate.
Raymond and King in the Repub
lican contest and McDermit in the
Democratic light “also ran.” Ray
mond polled his expected big vote in
Essex and also in Atlantic where
“Commodore” Kuehnle backed him
but outside of these places he was
not a serious factor. KUehnle’s can
didate for senator, Babcock, has won
the nomination apparently over City
Commissioner White of Atlantic City.
Figures on the gubernatorial fight by
counties will not bo available here
for some days. Pierre P. Garven’s
Hudson Republican faction won over
that of William P. Verdon and Gar
ven goes on the Republican state I
committee. William A. Moore, a sol-j
dier, broke the Mercer ltepublic
organization slate and won a plac<
on the assembly ticket. He was al
most high man. Runyon's vote In
Passaic county is attributed to the
support he received from the Sheriff
McCutcheon Independent Republican
faction.

mences at sunset Wednesday evening,
September 24, and ends at sunset the
following day. Orthodox Jews, how
ever, observe two days.
The festival is distinguished by the
blowing of the Shofar or ram’s horn.
In addition to its Joyous and optimis
tic character, it is one of great solem
nity and sacredness. On Rosh Haa
hanah the worshippers recall to mind
the misdeeds of the past year with a
view to consecrating themselves to a
nobler life during the years to come.
The religious service which marks
the observance of the holy day em
phasizes that the door to improve
ment and betterment la constantly
open.
The New Year is the beginning of
the most sacred of the Jewish holiday
seasons. It is the first of 'the Ten
Days of Penitence, culminating in the
Day of Atonement, the holiest and
most sacred day in the Jewish calen
dar. A few days after the Day of
Atonement, the Feast of Succoth or
Tabernacles is celebrated during a
period of eight days, in commemora
tion of the ancient Palestinian har
vest festival and of the wandering*
of the Israelites through the wilder
ness. ,
At Temple Beth Mordecai in Ho
bart street special services will be
held in honor of the occasion tonight
at 7 o'clock. Tomorrow morning at
8:30 Rabbi E. Friedman will speak
it the significance of the day.
