under cover awaiting a signal. They had been waiting there two days, practicing the evenings on "Hail to the Chief" and "See the Conquering Hero Comes." When the signal came the leader stepped out and asked if they were ready. They were. So they marched down the road in the wake of innumerable automobiles, past scores of pedestrians, with a growing entourage and stopped on the governor's lawn. And there they played while the visitors applauded and the governor beamed his thanks.

Within the governor's parlor there was a great crowding of visitors and shaking of hands and bestowing of all sorts of good wishes and predictions. The governor's three daughters. Misses Jessie, Margaret and Eleanor, were quite beside themselves with happiness while Mrs. Wilson smiled and said" she felt, "oh, so solemn," and that the responsibility was almost as terrible as the suspense. But the governor acted like an enthusiastic boy, grown dignitied and said it was almost too good to be true.

Miss Jessie opened the presidential campaign of 1912 for her father. She gathered a pocketful of Wilson buttons and pinned them on the callers. She did not forget four brawney railroad brakemen who came in to shake the governor's hand and tell him that they were tired of being Republicans and would cast their first Democratic votes for him. From Long Branch to Point Pleasant, through a score of towns and cities by the sea, all roads led to the governor's home. Cabmen from nearby towns reaped a harvest.

All the northern Jersey coast seemed tonight to be trying to crowd Into Seagirt. Hundreds of automobiles, made it their mecca. The days of waiting have not all been bright. Last Friday evening the governor's chances to have gone glimmering when Clark polled a majority and he telephoned his managers at Baltimore to release his delegates. Word came back that they refused to be released and not a man, he said today, deserted him.

Meantime the governor told his secretary and the secretary offered to lay a small wager on Champ Clark against the field with an old time friend. The friend took the bet. The secretary paid tonight. Gov. Wilson has not decided whether he will resign as New Jersey's governor to ryake his presidential campaign.

His close friends say he wont at least not for a while and probably not until election. Five thousand or so original Woodrow Wilson men" and hundreds of others varying politics paid their respects in person to tho nominee this afternoon and tonight. The Freehold Democratic, club, 300 strong, led by Chas. J. Parker, whose father, Joel Parker, was twice governor of the state, won the race for first honors in greeting the governor in competition" with a Democratic club at Manasquan.

By the time they reached the governor's cottage they had accumulated nearly 1,000 followers and a brass band. "I am profoundly siirred." said Gov, Wilson, stepping from the porch to the walk and shaking hands with every one. "I am not prepared to make a speech, gentlei.ien. I can only say I thank you."

tiASHAWAy TO ON KOITH MAIN S'i'RKKT. RENEW DISCUSSION ON NEXT FRIDAY At Special Meeting of Council Yesterday Afternoon Ordinance' Pertaining to Paving of Augusta Street Was, Adopted Council Then Went Into Argument Over Matter of Granting Messrs. Pur. man and (lassuwa Right to lluild Stores Against Wall. The adoption' of an ordinance per taining to the paving of Augusta street and a long, winding, tiresome and unsuccessful discussion the advisability of granting Dr.

Davis Kurraan and Mr. W. Gassaway per mission to erect five business build ings touching the retaining wall at the western abutment of the Soutn Main street bridge repre sents the sum total of what was dune at a special meeting of city council yesterday afternoon at 6.30 o'clock. The latter question, was not settled, though council discussed It until 7 o'clock Finally the meeting was ad journed until 5 o'clock Friday afternoon, at which' time the discussion will be renewed il of Controversy. The discussion with regard to the building permit desired by the above named gentlemen is at least a year old.

Very few council meetings have been held in this time but that the subject of allowing these gentlemen to build on their property outlined above was not brought up. The his. tory of. the controversy has never been gone into fully by The News for the reason that the matter was not of sufficient public interest to warrant a great deal of space being given to a minute statement of the facts involved. However, the matter has now reached the point where it is of city-wide interest, for It Is not im probable that litigation will follow if the matter is not settled In the near future.

As well as can be gathered from the various discussion in council, the following facts stand out In the matter; Dr. Davis Furman and Mr, W. Gassaway purchased the property east of -South Main Btreet, beginning at the -west bank of Reedy river and extending- up the valley toward, the old Alliance This before the new concrete bridge was built. They planied to erect bust ness buildings on the property and wanted a side track to he run into the property, the line to branch off In the rear of R. E.

Allen Bro company's place, pass under the linage and take a turn up the ravine. City council granted them a right of way under the old bridge. Klglit-of-Way Taken. When the new concrete bridge was tmiit the rignt-or-way given these gentlemen was blocked by reason of the fact that one of the big piers of the bridge was built directly across! It, it is the understanding of the re porter that council this without consulting the parties 'to whom the right-of-way had been granted. Sev eral weeks ago these gentlemen came before council and asked for a new right-of-way, as the one previously granted tnem nan been take awav For some time the matter was held up.

Messrs. Furman and Gassaway then purchased some four or five thousand dollars' worth of property from the Markley Hardware and the Catnpcrdown mill and turned thiH over to the C. A W. C. railway as a right of way ror the spur track.

As to Alinmloiictt Street. When the new bridge was built and the street car line placed upon the bridge ft old street running down to the river edge was abandoned. Messrs. Furman and Gassaway desir ed to close this roud, bit objection was raised by the Vardry Mills. It cult off all means of Ingress and egress to this mill.

Messrs. Furman and Gassaway then bought property along the edge of Furmutn campus and constructed a street which would give an outlet to the Vardry mill. About this time the big retaining wall was built along the east side of Main street, beginning at the Geer Drug building and extending to the western abutment of the concrete bridge. Since Messrs, Furman and Gassaway owned property abutting this portion of the street, council wanted them to pay one-half the cost of the retaining wall and" use the wall as a foundation for the buildings which they proposed to erect. Messrs Furman and Gassaway say they never agreed to do this, but expressed them selves as willing to do so If they ab-solutcly had to.

Paid Paving A.MsNtiiU'nt. When that portion of Main streel was paved Messrs. Furman and Gns-sawny were assessed their proportion of the cost of the paving abutting their property. They paid the assessment. Several days ago iwhen these gentlemen began work on the development of their property representatives of the city engineer's office went down and staked off the Strip of land once used by the street car company before Hs tracks were put up on the bridge and once used as street In getting down to the Vardry mill Messrs, Furman and Gassaway were notified that this was the city's property and they, could not use it, The effect of the staking off of the properly was that It eut Messrs, Furman and Gassaway off from Main street, for the strip claimed by the city ran hrtwe'en their property and the retulnlng wall.

The city has not and never has hHd a deed to this old street. Refused Mullilng Permit. A bulking permit was refused these gentlemen when they applied for it several days ago. At the council meeting yesterday affurnoon the discussion hinged about whether or not this permit would be granted. There were a lot of angles to the discussion.

Messrs, Furman and Gassaway do not wish to use the retaining wall as a foundation for one of their walls, because their entrlneerg have pronounced the wall, unsafe, has sunk or rather settled nut of plumb at the end shutting on the bridge. Whether they should be require in pay any portion of the cost of the retaining wall when they will Holt use lt wa discussed, Titer! ttitj attorney presenting Messrs, Furmnn and Gni-sawsy desired to know how the city could lay claim to this old street which cut these genllemen off from Main street when they made Messrs, Furmnn and Onssawny pay for I Hi paving on Mnln Btreet which nMHt Jl their properly, in oilier Words, the UOIjF plavkhs play mme. THIXtJ XOVKIj FOR THB CKIJijmATlO.V Moimow. HOW TOURNAMENT IS TO BE PLAYED Kacli Contestant Adds His Handicap to the "Bogey" Score for the Course -Giving Him a Certain Number of LStrokes Which He is to I'ae as Ilewt He Can Marking Flag to be naeed When Final iStroko is Played Represents the Players Farthest Xorth. The golf players of the Sans Souci club will celebrate the Fourth by holding what is known as a "Flag Tournament." This will be something quite novel and should prove most interesting.

The tournament is played In this way: Each contestant adds his handicap to the "bogey" score for the course, giving him a certain number of strokes whicji he Is to use as best he can. When the final stroke is played, a marking flag is placed where the ball lies. This represents the player's "Farthest North." Eighteen holes are-to be played. The contestants may play at any hour they select during the day, but must arrange to play in pairs so that each may certify to the others card. Regular "medal play" rules will be observed.

All contestants must give their names to Mr. Jordan when making ready to start. An entry fee of fifty cents will be charged, same to be left with Mr. Jordan. This will be used in purchasing two trophys, one for the winner and one for the second best flag.

The handicaps to be used in the comtnfr tournament for the Smyth Cup will be used in the present tour nament. The committee in charge of arrangements for the former met on Monday night and agreed upon the following handicaps: C. S. Webb Scratch L. A.

Cothran Scratch J. W. Jervey Scratch J. E. Sirrine Scratch J.

W. Arrington 4 strokes G. W. Brunson 4 strokes W. S.

Ramsey 18 strokes L. Hagerman 18 strokes Any other members of the club who may wish to enter may do so by phoning J. W. Arrington, J. W.

Jervey Qr L. A. Cothran, who will arrange the necessary handicap; pro vided, all entries must be in by nine o'clock tomorrow morning. This tournament will be a sort of "preliminary skirmish" to the one to be played soon for the Smyth Cup, announcement of which will be made later. While the club will provide "flags" to all requesting them, It Is under stood some of the players will fur nish their own and that much thought Is being given to the selection of appropriate designs.

We under stand that Jervey will carry a red flag with a skull and crossbones on it, thus advertising with characteristic delicacy his Chosen profession. Arrington will flaunt a milk-white flag, typifying the Bleachery as well as the purity of his own soul. Webb will display an Innocent little pebble, on a background of sanded green this being the pebble that will spoil the putt that otherwise would win the tournament for him. Father Gwynn's tlag will depict a rock, a broken club and a muzzle with the Inscription under it "Lest I forget." Midge slat tery has already purchased a green flag and is embroidering upon it the shamrock, in loyalty to the "ould country." Joe Sirrine will show "Flilo" rampant on a bunker, while Will Sirrine will carry an oiled silk banner, azure-tinted and absolutely rain proof, on which will be display ed a snapshot of himself illustrating "Perfen form In addressing tho end dy." Adger Smyth and Laurie Coth ran will carry plain white tlags and J. W.

Brunson will shake to the breezes a banner bearing the old war cry "64 40 or fight," meaning it understood, that he made a "forty1 on the Hfty-fourth round and if any one doesn't believe It he is prepared to hack It up with a niblick, These are a few of the banners which will be In evidence tomorrow and it Is safe to say the flag tourna merit will prove a big success.
