Last night, although he attended the freeholder session, Kaplowitz had a letter read to the board stating his claim on his job's duties.

Kaplowitz quoted extensively from the state's law to show that the freeholders had gone beyond their normal powers in undercutting his responsibilities. Dughi, who was at the session, said later he felt the board was anxious to work out any misunderstanding that it had created by his appointment. As if to substantiate Dughi's opinion, during the session the only legal question asked by the board was addressed to Kaplowitz. Freeholder Mary C.

Kanane, Union Republican, asked whether Wednesday night's election of a president of the Board of Managers of the county's John E. Runnells Hospital, was legally conducted. (Mrs. Helen Glaeser, Plain-field Republican, just named to the nine-member board of managers, had not been seated in time to vote.) Election 'Tainted' Kaplowitz ruled that Mrs. Glaeser should have been seated and that the election of Henry Gaven, Linden Democrat, "was tainted." He recommended another election.

The re-election of Gaven is probable, however, since even with Mrs. Glaeser's vote, the Democrats will control the Runnells board, 5 to 4. Last year's president was Israel Cardonsky, Elizabeth Democrat. After the meeting, Kaplowitz refused to say what action he planned if the GOP freeholder board refused to modify the new bylaws it adopted stripping him of his powers. The new bylaws give Dughi the sole power to draw resolutions, enter contracts, negotiate agreements, and perform the county's other major legal tasks.
