P. for Board Control Democrats have obtained their eecond court order for freeholder recounts in an effort to win control of the Camden County Board of Freeholders.

The November 2 general election resulted In th Democrats winning i 18 fweholdershlps of S8 on the board, or two short of a majority, now held by Republicans. The latest recount order of the party, signed yesterday by Common Pleas Judge Clifford A. Baldwin, sets November 22 for recounting ballots In the Fifth Ward, Camden, freeholder contest between Louis Bantivoglio, Republican, and A. L. Hen-kel, Democrat.

The. election vote was Bantivoglio. 1175, and Henkel, 1137. Glbbsboro-Voorhees Count Last week, a recount was ordered In the Gibbsboro-Voorhees township freeholder race between William Myers, Republican, and Allen M. Torrey, Democrat, whose respective votes were 515 and 608.

That recount will be held November 15. Should the Democrat win one of the contests, the county board would be equally divided. Victory in both recounts would gfVe them the control they seek, Vlncent I.

They also posted $25 for a mayoralty recount at Hl-Nella, which has only one vote district. Judge Baldwin signed an order for a recount November 15 of the votes for Frederick W. Klockert, Republican-, whose total was 52, and for Joseph Gaslor, Democrat, whose total was SI. in the contest for mavor. Judge Baldwin ordered the Camden County Board of Elections to Impound the Fifth ward and Hi Nella ballot boxes in the offices of the Camden Safe Deposit St Trust Company.

Fran.k A. "Chick" Abbott, Mayor Brunner's deputy, is the Fifth ward Democratic leader. The Hi-Neila election has been in dispute since the day after election. when the district board refused to count 23 ballots because of allegedly improperly placed stickers. Later, the jurist ordered the district elec tion officers to tabulate the ballots and Klockert came out ahead.

Says Fraud Is Rumored In connection with the Fifth ward contest, Mayor Brunner, Democratic state Committeeman, said he will recommend to the grand jury that it investigate the use there of alleged Hoaters," or imported votera from her districts.

Will Leave Problem to 1938 Legislature $3,000,000 ESTIMATED NEEDED TO CApRY ON Republican Senators Choose Hendrickson JTloor JLeader at Caucus, i -I ByXEO J. LANNING Trenton, Nov.

10. Republican Senate members are hoping: the "lame duck" Democrats; who control the House of Asseinbly will join with them Monday night in providing funds for the; financing of emergency relief during the balance of this year. Decision to this effect was reached bv the Senate G. O. P.

members ln conference here yesterday. The Legislature returns Monday night to consider relief financing, but predictions are being made that the outgoing Democratic; Assembly will leave the problem as a heritage to the 1938 lawmaking body which will be Republican in both branchea. It is estimated that t3.000.000 will be needed for the balance of 1937. How to get thhi sum Is the vexing problem. At the regular session money wss diverted from, the highway fund account which has practically carried relief up to November.

Lolrusi Chosen President The Republican senators with the members-elect held their; organisation caucus for 1938 and chose Majority Leader Charles E. Lolseaux, of Union, for president, and Robert C. Hendrickson, of Gloucester, for floor leader next year. -Senator Lester Clee.j of Essex, unsuccessful Republican candid W. for governor, mad both nomJnatitfcJ I in th caucus.

Hendrickson was hlk campaign manager. The House of Aaaembly will Jose Its speaker next Monday night. Am It is expected Governor Hoffinaa will aend th nam of Thomaa Glynn Walker, of Hudson, the Democratic presiding Officer, to the Senate for confirmation as a meraher of the Court of ICrrors and Appeals, succeeding th late Judge Blase Cole, of Sussex. The place must go to a Democrat. The Republican senators In csu-eus decided it would be best to meet the relief fund shortage ext week, rather than let the matter hang over into the 1938 session.

How to meet the problem will be considered at a meeting on Monday to which the House Democrats will asked to send a committee. Only Teple Program The Senate committee on relief consists of Senators Albert E. Burling, Camden, and Clifford R. Powell. Burlington, Republicans, and Walter H.

COROT1S Legislation to relieve Camden City of some of the burden of financing the South Jersey Port Commission and to permit consolidation of community activities and function was urged at a meeting yesterday of the Camden County Joint Taxation Committee. Toward this end, the committee authorized its chairman. Carl R.

Evered, to invite State Senator Albert E. Burling and the three assemblymen-elect to meet with the group at an early date. The policy of "over-expending budget appropriations and covering them up with transfers from other appropriations'" was assailed by Evered as "one of the evils of budget-making," and the committee voted to request the city and county for their bucket expenditures, showing all transfers made and any contemplated. Want to See Budgets The committee also adopted a resolution to contact the city and county to "state emphatically that there must be no increase in tax rates." "We asked for tentative 1938 budgets as early as July, but we didn't get them," Evered said. "We are anxious to see them before they are adopted." Evered then read a letter from Assemblyman-elect Lawrence H.

Ellis, as follows: "It is my honest desire to repre sent the people of Camden county to the best of my ability. My only reason for seeking this office is because I believe that it is high time that some of our bustrless and professional men took an active part in our state politics for the good of the majority of our people. If at any time you nave any helpful suggestions or con structive criticism I would be glad to hear from you." The motion to iavite all three new assemblymen and Senator Burling to meet with the committee then was adopted. "That are a number of matters that can be assisted by legislation, Evered said.

LeRoy A. Goodwin, president of the park board, announced his intention to ask for immediate action following th informal referendum last Tuesday when tha people of the county approved th expenditure. Goodwin said the" WPA projects could be speeded up if the freeholders acted. "The referendum is not enough for us to tell WPA the money for sponsor's contribution will be forthcoming," Goodwin explained.

"Action by th board ia necessary, and I see no reason why it should not com today." The "lam duck" board of freeholders, however, ia expected to wait for the incoming board January 1 to handle tha matter. Meanwhile, tha board's finance committee will recommend that the board make available to th park commission th $150,000 authorised two months ago, and for which bonds war aold last month. J. Wesley Sell, county treasurer, took the bonds to New York yesterday and received th money. A budget commute to prepare the 193S budget is expected to be appointed at today'a meeting.
