and His Stalking Horse John McCOol,
Who Wants To BE Chairman, but
Can't.
The meeting of the Apollo Hall General Commit
tee on Thursday night last was everything but har-
monious. The contest for the craftsmanship has
been one of the political topics Of the week. The
members OF the organization most to be relied
upon say that John McCool was named for chair
man by Ben Wood, who hopes to capture the Apollo
Hall democracy by making McCool, his man Friday,
chairman in order to trade with Tammany Han
next Fall. Wood has his statement all made out.
James M. Smith Is his candidate for the Supreme
dozen followers, who composed what Wood last
year loved to call the national democracy"
THE LEADERS IN APOLLO HALL
say, without hesitation, that O'Brien seems willing
to throw over the men who supported him last
year; that he has sought to give tue First Assembly
district to Wood, against Flynn, Moore and Fitz-
gerald who were OBrien's stanch friends IN the
Autumn when he needed all the help he could get.
Scarcely man of consequence in the organize
tion Is not asking the question what strength does
McCool bring to the partyy while they declare
Woods name Is not tower OF strength IN the way
OF REFORM or one upon which personally the Apollo
Hall democracy wish to lavish their political affec-
tons. Seventeen wards, If 1t comes to count
Spauldng for Chairman and Davidson for Secre-
tary, or BROOKS, who Is equally acceptable. As
McCool withdrew his name as candidate, OF course
his self-respect will prevent his acceptance, even II
the opposition to him on the personal ground OF
want of confidence were Withdrawn.
Members OF the General Committee declare
openly that McCOo is Wood always, and that Wood
uses
M'coOL AS STALKING HORSE
for his own purposes. The Apollos think that ie
Is "too thin,n and the ward representatives de-
cline to be party to such political tergiversation

IL is also asserted that Ben Wood wheedled
O'Brien into promising, after the November cleo
ton, that McC0ol should be chairman and that
O'Brien is trying to keep his promise That he has
tried, no one doubts, but the rank and file OF the
Apollos" and the ward captains refuse 10 be bound
by contract formed on political expediency, such
as O'Brien acted upon at that time.
