The candidates for the more important places on each party's ticket are lined up as follows: Republican For (Jovernor, Walter E. Edge, Austen Colgate or George L. Record; for Criited States Senator, Franklin Murphy or Joseph S. Frelinglmysen. Democratic For Governor, 11. Otto Wittpenn; for United States Senator, James E. Martine or John Y. YVe-cott. A close struggle is indicated for the contested nominations in both parties, and a heavy veto is expected. !ut the interest in the X ev Jersey primary ex tends beyond the borders of the State, and the political leaders of the Nation will eagerly scan the results of today's balloting. As one of the doubtful States, New Jersey's primary totals will be significant of the strength and of Lhe interest or apathy felt by the supporters and the opponents of President Wilson in his home State, inasmuch as a primary election on the eve of a Presidential election is naturally influenced to a great extent by National issues.

Gubernatorial Fight Is Keen Under a rijl ng of Attorney General escott,-fort i f ed by a judicial opinion from Judge William P. 'Martin, of the Lssex County Court, 1K;KM Progressives who voted last year will he barred from participation in the primaries, the Progressives havin? no candidates of their own. The Republican gubernatorial contest will determine whether Senator Walter K. Edge, of Allan tic county, or Colonel Austen Colgate, of Fssex, shall be pitted against Naval Officer H. Otto Wittpenn, who will go to the post unopposed as the Democratic candidate for Governor. Although Senator Edge is picked by his friends as the favorite in the more sou-thernly countries of the State and Colonel Colgate as the probable choice of Hudson and Essex Republicans, the sup port ol neither candidate is bound by geographical lines. Edge has many friends in Noith Jersey and Colgate in South Jersey. A third candidate in the Republican fight is George E. Record, erstwhile Progressive lead"r of Hudson county, who is seeking the gubernatorial nomination on a platform including local option, Government ownership, single tax and home rule. Although Record is counted upon to poll a substantial vot,e, ho is not regarded even a- a remote possibility for the nomination. Many Seek Senate Nomination , P.oth parties have hard tiihts in the contest for United States Senator. On the JMnocratic side Attorney General John W. Weseott, of Camden, and Sena tor James E. Martine, of L nion. are battling for the nomination with Frank M. MeDermit, of Essex, and August M. Rruggemann, a theatre owner of Hudson, as added starters. Outside of their respective counties the candidacies of MeDermit and Bruggemann are not taken seriously. Interest is given to the Democratic fight through the fact that President Wilson is behind the Weseott candidacy, thoueh he has made no public declara tion to that effect. The result of the Wescott-Martine contest is. therefore, regarded as reflecting somewhat the feeling of New Jersey Democrats toward the Administration. The Republican United States Sena torial fight is a clean-cut contest between ex-Governor rranklm Murphy and ex State Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen, with no minor candidates to becloud the choice. Both Mr. Murphy and Mr. Fre lintrhuvsen have been the stanchest kind of Republicans, active in the affairs of their party and aggressive in their public positions. As Governor Mr. Murphy was instrumental in securing the enactment of a tenement house law and the first child labor law ever enforced in New Jersey. There are several contests for nomina tion as Congiessmen and State Senators, eight of whom are to be elected in No vember. I here are scores ot candidates for the Assembly nominations and most of the counties will have local tickets to nominate.

Each day he races an automobile " around the track and engages with two other bird-men in an act called "Atmosphere Scrambling.'" The biggest day in point of attendance probably will be Thursday, when it is expected that at least 7,XK persons will be on the grounds at 11 o'clock in the morning, when Mr. Hughes speaks. In order that as many may hear him as jossible. the management will throw open the race track and paddock in front of the srandstand. The candidate will deliver his speech from the judges' stand.

Not Their Real Names Mr. Clabaugh admitted that Wesley and Williams were not the names of the man and woman. Thev are believed to be in Chicago. "Their identity will be established when they come into court," said Mr. Clabaugh. "They will probably tell their story when the members of the blackmail syndicate are arraigned next Monday before Commissioner Mark A. Foote. It will be impossible for any one to find them until then. If I mentioned who they were, you could find them in two minutes." Mr. Clabaugh's veiled language seemed to imply they were well known people. In her efforts to have the State's Attorney arrested today Mrs. Evers, the alleged lure of the blackmail trust, told the court how, after her release on bail she was rearrested in a cafe with a eon man and held all night by detectives who tried to get her confession. She dodged questions regarding meeting Edward Fleming in Montreal. The court refused a warrant for the prr-cuting attorney. Homer T.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2... -Made in America" is the dominant note of the second national exposition of chemical industries, which opened today at the Grand Central Palace, and this is emphasize1 most strikingly in the display of the manufacturers of dye stuff, which demonstrates the American has been able to produce a dye to match any color heretofore supposed to have been theexclu-sive property and knowledge of Germany. More than 400 colors are shown in one exhibit alone, and there are numerous companies making dye stuff. The manufacture aert that with a blending of combinations with these colors any shade . manufactured by Germany before tne war may be duplicated with a better quality of fast dye than the Teutonic artisans ever knew. H. (5.- McKerrow, manager of a large concern, said the only reason America did not lead the whole world in the production of dyes was because it had found it was more profitable to allow Germany to manufacture them. "But the country is now fast doing what Germany took years to do. We can produce iust as good dyes as Germany, and equally as fast," he said. The exposition, which is held in con junction with the annual convention of .i .: oi ;.,i -ti. tne Vniencau uiciunai k-wncijr, mc American Electrochemical Society and the Technical Association of the Iulp and Paper Industry, was formally opened by Dr. Charles U. llcrty, president ot the American Chemical Society.

"You are wrong on that," he replied. "Thev came from all over to get me to talk. They kept me here a couple of daya talking to me. I didn't have anybody to save and they didn't get it.
