President Spent But a Bare
Hour at His Former Home.

This Afternoon.
HEAVY VOTE IN MERCER
Twelve Candidates for Sheriff, of
Whom Ten Are Republicans.
TRENTON-. Sept. 22.-The vote In to
day's primaries Is heavy, because of tho
great Interest In the various contests,
particularly that for Sheriff. In which
there are ten candidates on tho Republi
can side and two on the Democratic.
Tho early Indications point to tho nomi
nation of Pago or Fleming by the Re
publicans. Fleming Is the organization
candidate, but Is not ns popular as Page
or as some of tho other Republican candi
dates. Hervey S. Moore, a Republican
Assemblyman, wns polling n good voto
early, but It is scarcely expected that he
can win tho nomination.
On tho Democratic side of the Sheriff's
tight J. O. Coleman, n prominent under
taker, Is getting n large vote against
Tarker, who hns the support of many of
tho Democratic leaders. It Is believed
that Coleman will bo nomlnnted.
Representative Allan B. Walsh, who Is
Tunning for renomlnatlon nnd re-election
tn Congress on the Democratic ticket, will
have an easy time defeating C. J. Blake,
Ills Democratic opponent for the nomina
tion, according to the early voting. Walsh
Is running on n purely Wilson plntform.
On tho Republican side there are four
candidates Hutchlneon and Blackman, of
Trenton, and Pope and Anderson, of
Somerset County, Hutchinson, who la a
former State Senator nnd a former Stnto
Road Commissioner, seemed to bo getting
the early vote, Blackman Is giving him
n cloho race.
There Is no primary contest for Surro
gats, and there Is llttlo Interest displayed
In the Assembly contests In this county.
COLONEL OFF TO NEBRASKA
'Will Preach Progressive Doctrine
Tonight In W. J. Bryan's Home City.
KANSAS CITY, Mo.. Sept 22.-After
calling upon the voters of Kansas and
Missouri to stand by the Progressive
ticket In the fall election, Colonel Theo
dore Rooievelt left hero for Lincoln. Neb.,
where ho will speak tonight. Owing to
the advice of physicians not to put too
much strain on his voice If he wished
to preserve It In good condition for tho
remainder ot his trip, It is not likely that
the Colonel will speak en route to the
home city of William Jennings Bran.
"If you conscientiously believe In the
Principles of either of the old parties I
do not expect you to vote tho Progressive
ticket," uald Colonel Roosevelt In his mes
sage to tho voters of Kansas and Mls
Biurl. "but if you believe In the doctrines
ot the Progressive party I shall expect
you to vote according to the dictates of
Jour conscience."

POLICEMEN ASK COURT
TO HAVE JOBS BACK
First Convicted, Then Exonerated,
Now Want Reinstatement.
A conflict of authority betwnn nir..
tor of Public Safety Georgo D. Porter
and the Police Board of Inquiry on one
side and tho Civil Service Commission
ers was aired in court today before
Judges Sulzberger. Barratt and Dough
erty In mandamus suits brought by Hugh
Gallagher and Thomas T. Jones for their
reinstatement as policemen.
Gallagher and Jones were found rullty
of Intoxication and dereliction of duty
by the Police Board at their first trial
and ordered dismissed. At a subsequent
trial before the same board they were
exonerated and their reinstatement was
recommended. In spite of Director Por
ter's acqulesence the Civil Service Com
mlssloners declined to reinstate the men
after going over the testimony of both
trials.
The court reserved decision at the con
clusion of tho argument today. Assistant
City Solicitor Gordon defended the action
of the Civil Service Commissioners, tn
the midst of his argument that the recom.
mendatlons of the Police Board and of
Director Porter are but advisory, and
that the CommosBtoners are not required
to follow them. Judge Sulzberger inter
rupted with the remark:
"Then policemen accused of derelictions
have a right to a fair trial, but all sub
sequent appeals and rehearlngs and
recommendations are In the nature of ex
tended luxuries."
