Tltn‘ros, Sept so. S—Vl‘he Republican
Mate convention, which met here, itch
stated John W. Briggs of Union county,
«master and a prominent lawyer, for
governor.
Because of the fact that 'the Republic-
ans are very hopeful of success this fall
the convention attracted to the city more
of the rank and file of the party than has
been seen at a similar gathering for over
80 years, and there was a genuine effort
on the part of half a dozen gentlemen to
secure the coveted nomination. which
:inally fell to Mr. Griggs on the third huh
at
His chief competitor was erCongress—
man John Kean, Jr.. who was the candi-
date against Governor Warts three years
ago.
, The others in the race were Elias D.
Ward. president of the Prudential Insur
ance company, of Newark; State Senator
Foster bk Voorhces of Union. State Sen-
ator Maurice M. Rogers of Camden and
Congressman John J. Gardner of Atlantic
City, all of them having almost equal
strength, with the exception of Gardner,
who polled only 23 votes on the first bol-
lot and was then dropped. Sheriff Lofloy
of. Hudson, although not. a candidate, re-
ceived the vote of one Burlington county
delegate on each of the three ballots. ,
0n the first ballot Griggs was the lead-
er, with 294 votes to 207 for Keen. There
wore Si? delegates. and 424 votes Were
therefore required for a choice. '
On the second bullet Griggs' vote jump-
ed to 338,1{can getting ills.
During the progress of the third bullet
Griggs gained steadily. and finally there
was a stampede, which resulted in his
nominntion by nccinmntion.
Upon questions of national import the
platform says:
”We rcnllirm our devotion to the na-
tional policy of our party, our opposition
to any attempt to impose upon this coun-
try a dobascd or dcpr inted currency and
our firm belief in the lsdom nnd boneib
cones of a tux upon imports which will
aflord protection to American industry
and adequate revenue. ’ ’
All of the speakers dilated upon the
bright prospects in store for the Republc-
an ticket in New Jersey this fall and
urged the party representatives present to
work hard for success. ,
Story of the Convention.
The convention was called to order by
Franklin Murphy of Newark, chairman
of the state committee. The Rev. Thomas
Bunion of Pennington offered prayer. in
the course of his prayer he said the man
chosen by the delegates, he had good rea-
son to believe, would be the next govern-
or, and therefore he (asked God to aid
them in u Wise selection.
Secretary John Y. Fnster read the null
for the convention, from which it appeared
that the total number of delegates was
8w, thus making it necessary that the
successful camiidnlc should have i2? votes.
Mr. Murphy thou intrmluced Congress-
mun )luhiuu l’ituvy us temporary chnir-
mun. Mr. Pitucy wm‘ escorted to the
Chair lIytiul’t‘ett A. Ilnburt and Senator

The list UT socrrturios agreed upon was
approved. After that the county dob-gums
selected their I'oprusclltutivos till the vu-
rinus culmuittcos. it was ugrcod to work

The addition of two votes to Atlantic
county’s delegation, two to Middieses and
one to Essex made the total number of
delegates 847.
The result of the first ballot was favor-

agers were borne out to a great extent.

still very doubtful.

Before the result was announced, how-
ever, the scramble began, resulting in the
selection of Briggs by acclamctlcn Essex
county was the first to announce a chpnm
in favor of Briggs. This delegation was
quickly followed by Mercer, Salem, Glou-
cester, Cumberland, n and Camden
A scene of the wild enthusiasm and
excitement prevailed, through all of which
Chairman Fort pounded his gavel and
finally managed to make his voice board.
He declared that this "has a Republican
convention, and business wuuid have to
be transacted decently and in order. He
recognized the chairman of the county
delegations in the order mentioned above
and finally recognized the obsirmun of the
Essex delegation, who insisted that the
154 delegates from that county should be
polled, although it was announced that
Griggs had received many more than the
494 votes necessary. While the call was
in progress Wilbur Mott of Essex, one of
the managers of the Ward boom, suddenly
sprang to his feet and stated that as it
was apparent that Griggs was the choice
of the convention he would move the
unanimous nomination of that gentleman.
This motion was put. and carried, a few
unys being heard from the Essex crowd.
Mr. Griggs was then intloduccd. In a
few words be thanked the convention for
the nomination, and after denouncing
“Democratic misrulc" in New J orscy pre-
sented Mr. Kenn, his strongest opponent
for the nomination. The latter asked that
his supporters show the some ioynity to
the mun that won the 'nominntiou us they
bud exhibited in his behalf. Then the
convention adjourned sine die.

A check for that amount has been depos—

Laycock. Goodfollovv 8.: Bell cabled to
the New York Yucht club on Tuesday as
follows:
"Secretory New York Yacht Club:
“Will give £1,000 for a race in English
waters at once. details and management
to be left to the owners. "
It is possible that the last word has been I
spoken in tho pubiicniring of the contro-
versy over the America's cup rnces. H.
hinitiund Kcrsey, who is in close touch
with Duuravon and his intentions, said:
"i do not think that Lord Dunrnven
will reply to the letter from the cup com-
mittee. I hardly see how it calls for any
reply. Besides, several of his statements
made through me have been so falsified
nnd misconstrued that Lord Dunruvcn is
heartily tired of the whole, business. The
result of the whole mess is that should
Defender and Valkyrie ever meet nguin it
will be on the other side of the Atlantic. "
