NEWBURGER WILL RUN IN DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES Association Backs Supreme Court Justice Who May Be Fusion Candidate, The name of Supreme Court Justice Joseph B. Newburger is to appear on the Democratic primary ballots, thanks to the Executive Committee of Bar no the Democratic County Cominittee which yesterday turned down Newburger for Irwin Untermyer, thirty-three-year- old son of Samuel Untermyer, friend and, legal adviser of William Randelph Hearst. The Bar Association, which has prepared whurg nominating Petitions on both the Republican and Democratic tickets, announced to-day that the action of the Tammany lead- ers will not interfere in the least with its announced purpose of running Justice Newburger at the primaries, Although it is claimed that with the backing of Tammany Hall Irwin Ustermyer will likely poll a bigger vote than Newburger at the Demo- cratic primaries Tammany politicians fear a great many Independent Dem crats will resent at the polls the a: tion of the Executive Committee in turning down Newburger.

He was one of the founders of the United States) Steel Company back in 1901 and the last “Carnegie man” to leave that organization. He now is Secretary- Treasurer of the Midvale Steel Cor- poration, According to something more sub- stantial than gossip, it was said to-day in Montclair Miss Eleanor Mitchell Dickson, a graduate of Wellesley in the class of 1918, is about to become the bride of Dr, Victor Bayard Seidler of Montclair on the same day Miss Emma Y.

Whether the double wedding will take place at the beautiful Llewellyn Road residence of the steel prince—for there is only one steel king to Carnegie’s boys—is not indicated. The Dicksons have a wonderful summer _ place, “Highland Croft,” at Littleton, in New Hampshire, not far from Bethlehem. ‘According to Montclair, there is no more democratic family in all New Jer- sey than that of the former Pitts- burgher. The motto of the family is Service, and’ everybody under the Dickson rooftree lives up to it. Miss Emma Dickson had scarcely finished at Westover school when’ the we broke out.
