SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Sept. 22-The republi.
can city caucus tonight was large, and bois-
ferrous to an Unprecedented degree. 1t was evil
dent from the start that a majority of those
present were Butler men. At the outset they
refused to sustain the rules to prevent fraud es-
tablished by the republican city committee, and
elected a chairman by reclamation. They also
refused to use the check lists in baloting for
delegates, but fearing a bolt afterwards agreed
to the list, with 4 proviSo that all who called
themselves republicans should be allowed to
vote whether their names were ON the list or
not. The ballot then proceeded, but through
the incapacity and negligence of the chairman
and telers, who paidIno attention to the rule
1900 votes were cast, while only 100 names were
checked. Several hundred anti-Butler republic
cans refused to vote at ALL while hundreds of
democrats and labor reformers voted unchal-
lenged, and there were numerous cases of re-
peating. The vote stood 800 for Butler against
4O7 for the anti-Butler ticket. The republicans
denounce the vote as fraud, but whether rival
delegations will be sent TO the state convention
is vet to be determined
