Excitement at Vet’s Convention South Jersey Delegate* Refuze to Endorse Officers Elected and

Will Appeal Result

Praise for Cape May

The Veterans of Foreign Wars who held their state contention Friday, Saturday and Sunday last week were loud In their praises of the treatment received from the townspeople of Cape May and equally loud in the denunciation of the steam roller methods used by the delegatee from the northern end of the State during the election of offleere last Sunday morn-

ing.

Election of officers by the State Encampment of Veteran* of Foreign Ware resulted In a wordy battle among the delegatee and caused the withdrawal of the Southern Jersey poets while the balloting was under way. The election then resulted as follows: Commissioner. George A. Henderson. Newark: vice-commander. P. J. Bensen. Rldgfleld Park:quartermaster. E. A. Crulksbank. Cranford; Judge advocate. Chester R. Holman. New Brunswick; department surgeon. Dr. J. D. Haskell. Newark; chaplain. Rev. R. n. Smith. Rooelle Park; council of administration. F. A Dowley. Atlantic City, and Robert Lemtke, Westwood. The South Jersey poets gave notice of appeal from the election to the National Council of Admlntatra' tion and declared the officers could not be Installed until a decision has

been rendered.

The difficulty arose over the question of whether each poet was entitled to cast e vote based upon He strength, regardless of the number of the delegates present. Acting Judge Advocate Gottlieb, of Newark, ruled thrt the eelctlon should be on unite end not by delegatee present. The southern posts, heeded by Captain Frank Beckett, of Atlantic City,

then left the hall.

Saturday afternoon the Veto led by Major General Hugh L. Scott, retired, who ta now a member of the New Jersey Highway Commission, paraded through the town. Over two thousand Veterans were In line. The music was furnished by the bands from the veteran poets. A ball waa held on the convention pier. WILDWOOD GOLF CLUB *< PICRIC A BIG SUCCESS
