The only republican candidate is Louis B. Ewbank. the present Judge. The democratic nominee will face an opponent, who is apparently the choice of both factions in the republican party, although he was originally the candidate of the present “good government and clean politics” regime. NEW JERSEY RECOUNT ORDER IS SIGNED NEWARK, N. J., May 1. —Chief Justice Wiliam Gummer of the supreme court today signed an order for recount of the vote cast in last Tuesday’s preferential primaries for Senator Hiram W. Johnson and Gen. Leonard Wood, republican candidates. The recount wil be for the entire state and will begin on May 10 in Essex, Morris, Camden, Gloucester and Cape May counties, in which supporters of Senator Johnson alleged mistakes were made in tabulations. It is stipulated that Senator Johnson must deposit $50,000 before the recount can begin to defray the expense entailed by the various county boards. If the result of the recount does not change the voters assurance for Gen.

Wood the expense of the recount must be borne by Senator Johnson. The recount may be abandoned at any time the Johnson forces desire. HOOVER AND JOHNSON CLINCH IN CALIFORNIA SAN FRANCISCO. May I—California is nearing the close of the most desperate primary campaign in its history. Th" issue Is a clear-cut one of tha popularity cf Senator Hiram Johnson, as against the popularity of Herbert Hoover. For weeks the Johnson organization has exerted itself to elect twenty-six delegates to the Chicago convention pledged to Johnson, while the Hoover organization has gained a firm foundation—firm enough to challenge every effort that can be put forth by the Johnson men. The campaign will not close until the last ballot Is cast at 7 o'clock the night of May 4. Bitterness was engendered largely by the fact that Johnson, after years of political supremacy at home, sees the republican nomination a distinct possibility only to be attacked at the most vital spot—his home state—by another Californian, who during these years ha3 not been in politics.
