SELECT LEADER
OF FREEHOLDERS
Vandenbergh May Oppose
Dey for Directorship--Oth
er Names Mentioned
NEW BRUNSWICK. Dec. 27—
Who will be selected to lead the dcs
lin'es of the Middlesex County Board
of Freeholders for the year 1922?
This question is being frequently
hoard around the county building*
as the time for reorganizing the
hoard for another year approaches.
Political dopsters are freely predict
ing that the leadership will not be
determined without a fight.
Common gossip links the name of
four members of the board as aspir
ing for the honors, but indications
cf the last few days would seem to
:h< w that the fight has narrowed
down to the present director, Wil
liam S. Dey and one other.
Since the removal of Freeholder
Clarence M. Haight as chairman
of tho road committee early in the
1 resent year by Director Dey, the
board has been somewhat split, and
it... f.lAxda on oB «■-{11 nrnKflhlV n . t
tail to remember the occasion when
a new director is elected.
Those named as being candidates
for the leadership to oppose Dey,
aro Freeholders Haight and Hcllolf,
whose terms expire next year, and
pnbert K. Vandcnbcrgh, who w‘ll
take his seat in the board nejet
week for a full three year term
n'ter serving out flic unexpired term
of J. Edgar Bennett, who died while
In office. By many. Mr. Vanden
bergh is considered the logical choice
for director and should he decide
to make the fight he would wlthu.it
doubt receive strong support from
some of the board members.
The first meeting of the year will
be held on New Year's day at which
:inte the reoranization will take place
but in the meantime the candidates
icr director are busy playing the vote
getting game, paving a way to their
election to the leadership.
