WESTER, DEFEATED DY 9 VOTES, TO ASK RECOUNT;
DEMOCRATS MAKE LIKE MOVE IN 6TH WARD;
G. 0. P. ASSEMOLYMEN AND FREEHOLDERS WIN
--
Middlesex county went Republican yesterday with one
exception—Daniel W. Clayton, Democratic surrogate, being
re-elected to that position by a majority of 2,000 votes.
Morgan F. Larson, of this city, defeated Fred \V. De\oe, the
Democratic aspirant, by 2,214 votes.
The three Republican assembly candidates were elected
by margins ranging from 400 to 2,400 while ttie two Re
publican freeholders were re-elected with between 4.000
end 5.000 separating them and their Democratic opponents.
The coroner race was won by John V. Hubbard, New
Rrunswick Republican, by 5,000 votes.
The bond issue was defeated in the county almost four
to one.
Alderman-at-Large John N. Wester, who was defeated
by nine votes by Richard J. Galvin, Democrat, yesterday
according to the returns made by the various election boards,
this morning announced that he would have a recount. This
race was the closest in the city.
If the recount fails to give Wester the election the 1922
Hoard of Aldermen will be composed of five Democrats and
two Republicans. \
It has been six years since the Democrats controlled
the council and yesterday's results came as a Democratic
landslide here astonishing some of those who had hoped
< two Democrats being elected but had not thought ft pos
sible to select three.
Early returns from various parts
of the county indicated the sena
torial race would be much closer
than It finally turned out t? be. as
De Voe was leading Larson in many
of the districts South Amboy, one
of the first places to complete its
count, gave DeVoe a big vote as did
Sayreville. Plainsboro. another of
the early reporters, favored DeVoe.
New Brunswick gave DeVoe a 500
majority but Highland Park favored
Larson, giving him a slight margin
of about 50 vites Perth Amboy's
1769 majority for Larson helped the
Republican candidate considerably in
establishing a safe lead while Wood
bridge also assisted greatly. Mill
town. Metuchen and Dunellen re
turns added to Larson's lead and a
few more margins throughout the
county put him beyond the reach of
his opponent.
Assemblymen Edward J. Peterson
and C. Raymond Lyons will be re
turned to the lower House next year,
and Wilton T. Applegate will accom
pany them as the third representa
tive from Middlesex as the result
of yesterday’s election. All three arc
Republicans. Applegate was high
in the county with Peterson second,
each having about 2,000 on their
nearest Democratic opponent. Klem
mer Kalteissen. There was some
doubt for a time as to whether
Lyons or Kalteissen was elected but
the final returns showed the Repub
lican leading by about 400 votes.
Daniel W. Clayton. Democrat, will
continue as surrogate, having de
feated Charles Forfnan by 2.100
votes. Mr. Clayton drew a large
number of Republican votes
throughout the county, being at the
head of his ticket in most instances.
More than 5.000 votes separated
John V. Hubbard, of New- Bruns
wick. and William Morgan, of South
River, the respective Republican
and Democratic candidates for coro
ner. The former won and the result
was not in doubt very long after the
returns started to come in.
Freeholders George Applegate and
Robert R. Yandenbergh will return
to the county board next year for
another term as the result of the big
vote polled by them yesterday. Then
two Democratic candidates. William
M. Ha Hah an and Patrick Fallon,
were between 4,000 and 5,000 votes
DenillU lilt: SUtvrwiui aw —
The make-up of the Board of Free
holders will not be changed as a re
sult of these elections and the Re
publicans will continue in control.
James A. Murray. Democratic con
didate for assembly, and William M.
Haltahan. Democratic candidate for
freeholder, both were given a big
vote in Perth Amboy, their place of
residence, but this lead was not suf
ficient to carry them ahead of the
remainder of the ticket in places
where they were not so well known.
The same was true of several other
candidates who made excellent
showings in one or two places and
then lost out heavily in the remain
der of the county.

The Perth Amboy Evening News
last night played tile part of host to
the largest election crowd that has
ever assembled in front of the of
fice to get returns trom city, county,
state and nation. \ new* innovation
was successfully tried out. consist
ing of moving pictures which w-ere
projected early at night and during
I dull periods when there was a slack

| polls.
Excellent weather added to the
{ sue-eess of the "iierft rniance" which
! was loudly and enthusiastically ap
1 pi.mded by the large audience w hich
| came in automobiles and on foot.
The crow d was so laige that automo
bile traffic along Jefferson street and
Madison avenue was impossible dur
ing the hours that the results were
| being projected upon the screen.
The Evening News was able to
! give before midnight a comprehen
sive idea of how the election was go
ing in the county ar.d city and an*
j nouncement wa; made early in the
1 night of Hylan's carrying New

The Evening News made a new
speed record this year in gathering
j from the various [rolling places

morning said: “J will not concede
the election as I do not think ‘t
would be fair to ray friends in auck
a close count.
"There will be a recount. I vis
ited all of the polls yesterday and
last night and found considerable
confusion especially in keeping the
tally sheets. It is possible that
enough unintentional mistake.*
were made to change the result o<
the election.”
Mr. Wester pointed out that fif
teen differences were discovered in
the recount two years ago started
by his opponent, William H. Voor
hees, whet? the total number of
votes cast was only a little more
than one-half those c»3t yesterday.
He points out tlyt the possibilities
of a larger number of discrepan
cies are greater this year and it ia
necessary to gain only ten votes to
change the election returns In his
case.
Indications at the present time
are that the Democrats w ill also de
mand a recount of the votes. Their
action would be taken in the sixth
ward, it was said, where Alderman
Kiedy defeated John Kozusko, by
thirty-five votes.
Senator Thomas Brown today said
that a conference .vas held last night
at which time the subject of a re
count in the sixth word was discuss
ed at length, but although a recount
wa* contemplated, nothing has been
definitely decided upon as yet.
Mr. Brown declared that there had
lari tie* in the vote, ail of which
was against John Kcxusko, the Dem
o vatic candidate that there is strong
talk of a recount.
Owing to the failure of some of
the tally and return election sheen
to correspond City Clerk Arthur E.
Graham was today unable to get
these books in readiness to take to
ib« County Election Board and has
called together about ten of the
boards to meet with him tonight
and correct th - * mistakes and dis

was found ii copying from the tally
sheets to the return sbeela, the

An unusually large number of re
jected ballot this year is expected
to prove another argument in favor
of a recount. There were sixty-on«
hallots rejected for various reasons
by the election officers yesterday,
thirty-six f which were in the sixth
ward. Five were rejected in the
fifth ward, eleven in the fourth, six
in the second and three in the first.
It is understood that some of the
ballots were rejected because, it was

KEYPORT. Nov. 9:—Fire which

destroyed the two-story building of
the C. C. Galbraith & Son shipyard
supply factory here, causing a loss
of $50,000. The structure was of
frame construction and within a
short time after the blaze had beer,
discovered the whole plant was in a
mass of flames. The intense heat
from the burning building set fire to
surrounding structures and for a
time it seemed as if the entire block
would be consumed by the blaze. So
hot was the Are that telephone and
electric light poles were easy prey
for the flames and it was necessary
for the power to be shut off. thus
putting Keyport and Matawan in
darkness for several hours.
The building was built In 1876 by
William A. Tilton and for many
years was used hy Tilton & Cherry
as a wagon factory. The firm of C.
C. Galbraith & Son purchased the
factory ju3t prior to the war and
began the manufacture of lifeboats
and rafts. Six lifeboats valued at
$500 each were in the building and
were consumed by the flames. The
building and contents were partly
insured.
The reflection from the fire could
be seen for miles and many auto
mobiles rushed to the scene. As
sistance was given the Keyport fire
department in fighting the flames
by companies from Matawan and

were kept pjaying on the blazing
building constantly and this no
