New Jersey Republicans Clash Over Big Four Delegates
The state convention for selecting four delegates at large to the Republican National Convention faces a crowded field and no clear front runner. Six candidates contest four spots as county factions name favorites from Barré to Fort and Briggs. Essex holds a split choice between Fort and Murphy with a poll likely to shape selection. The State Committee prepares to hear fraud claims from Hudson supporters claiming irregular primaries and a sealed ballot box. Ex-Senator Dryden is named permanent chairman as Taft supporters hope for a War Secretary nomination.
