MEHMIll BADLY Kflffl III WW Marline Defeats Wescott in Dem ocratic Prima By Big Majority WINNER OPPOSED PRESIDENT Is Anti-British and Says He "Is Tired of Going to the White House for Orders." New York, Sept.

2S. presidents' Wilson's own Mate has defeated for the Democratic Senatorial nomination in the New primaries the man who twice put Mr. Wilson in nomina tion for the Presidency at Democratic conventions, and bus Dominated over him by a plurality which stood at mid night 21,189 votes a man who came Into prominence by anti-British utter ances and activities, and by (lecturing that he was "tired of going to the White House fcr It was in this Democratic Senatorial primary, in the reno mi nation of Senator James K. Martina over Attorney General John W. Wescott, that the German-American vote made itself felt most vigorously.

Marline's plur ality in the State was 21,130. with neat ly a fourth of the election districts missing, and be ran up 16,000 of this In Hudson County, where the large German-American population of Ho- boken and of Jersey City appears to have cast its vote solidly for him. The Cerniaii-Ainerican Interest was felt, too, in the Republican gubernatorial contest, where Walter Eklge of Atlantic City won over Austen Colgate of Newark by a plurality Which, with l.i'j of the election districts missing, amounted to 2,743. George L. Record was bare third.

Karly reports, owing to an error in tabulating the vote ol Ksstsx' County, Colgate's borne, gave Kdge a much larger mar gin. but tho final figures showed that Colgate bad carried his home county by 1 0.0110 a pluiality inadeiiuate. however, to overcome the general trend toward Kdge In the rest of the tate. Colgate was opposed by Major Carl I.entz, a (iennan-Amerlcnn leader, and German American inliuence in general was against him. There was no contest for the Demo- cratlc Gubernatorial nomination, which went to II.

Otto Yv'iitpenn, Na val Officer ol the Port of New York anil a Wilson supporter. But In Hud son County a Wittpenn candidate for Surrogate was defeated by James V. Norton by a plurality of about 4.5(H) and Senator Mai tine's enormous plur ality in Hudson County is regarded either as a failure of the Wittpenn in- teiests adequately to support the Wilson Senatorial candidate or a premoni Don of notable weakness for Witt-pentt's candidacy In November. The Republican Senatorial nomination went to Joseph 8. Krellnghuyson over former Governor Franklin Murphy by a majority which bad reached 5.142, with 13!) districts still missing.

This was a surprise to observers who bad expected that tho machine support ol Murphy would give him the upper hand. There were other elements in the fight against Froling-huytcn; be was opposed as a nonresident, whose business and whose winter homo were In Now York, who lived in Now Jersey only during tho summer months, and he was fought by automobile owners of the State, who resented his activities against them In the State Senate. But in spite of this he won handily over Murphy, whose homo county, Essex, guvo him only 4.581 plurality, a figure much lower than had been expected.
