J., Aug. 17.—More than @ thousand neighbors and well wishers of Gov, Woodrow Wilson came here to- day to celebrate New Jersey Day and signify thelr best wishes and good will for the Governor of the State in his Presidential campaign. By noon the assembly, which had travelled {n automobiles from every part of the State and especially from South New Jersey, was gathered in a compact body in front of the little White House on the outskirts of the summer camp of New Jersey Na tonal Guard. A space fifty feet square had been roped off under the spreading willow trees in front of the porch, and within thia the Governor's family and most of the moving spirits back of his campaign in the State eat with the band. J. H. Birch of Burlington, and EF. FE. Grossoup, the State Democratic Chairman, had charge of the cere- monies, which were as simple as those of a village church social. It was a crowd full of the spirit of agreasive- ness and every appearance of a famil- far face was the signal for a cheer, which made up in intensity what it lacked in volume. The women in summer tollettes and carrying gay parasols increased the Tesemblance to a luwn party. Tho speechmaking, which had been sch: uled to begin at noon, was deferred for half an hour for the benefit of the crowd which arrived on a late train. WIL8ON PAYS A TRIBUTE TO JERSEYVITES. After introduction by Dudley Field Malone, a son-in-law of Senator O'Gor- man of New York, and Mr. Burch, Gov. Wilson stepped out from the little knot of people seated among tho wil- low branches and began his tribute to his, fellow citizens of New Jersey. ere was no State in the union, he said, whose good men and women had harder for reform than the people of New Jersey.
