REPUBLICAN about the unpleasantness
b tween himself and Mr.. 4. b. Frazer
with some amusement and told his
version Of the affair to-day as follows;
81 am rather surprised that the fellow
should rush into print with such
story as that. I had no intention o

"War to ths knife and the knife to the
hilt," is the cry. The result Of tht
c,ns, 1t ,liou bttween the Conference
Committee and the City Executive Com
mittee can only be guessed at. People
reasonably ''guess," that no terms
could be proposed on which the two
c1mm ittee could agree. A REPUBLIoAr
repo, ter en- leavored to pump Counsel

Association tonight"

sellor, with dreaming look in his eye

have had will be good for the oorn.'
"Did your Committee reach any
conclusion?"
The dreaming lock still hovered
around the legal glasses. 81 notice IN

and the little coWcumbers are thriving
finely" was his answer.
The reporter made one more desperate
effort: "Have the members Of the Com
mittee enough sense to know what they
did doY" he asked.
And Mr.. Turner replied: The wave

cocks success.
With all this sternly adhered-to Sc
crecy 1t has leaked out that the COM
mittee will make q sorrowiul report of
failure, will be discharged, and new
Ward Vice Presidents be appointed to
call ward meetings and choose a new
City Executive Committee. II this is
done, the next thing the McIntire peo.
pie will do will be to organize a City
Democratic Association of their own.
This done, Wilmington will have the
novel spectacle OF two rival party As.
sociations, and will be party clearly
divided against itself.
Martin Farrell takes occasion to deny
the report in circulation that he will
resign the Craftsmanship of the associa-
tion, and likewise Of the Executive
committee. The denial, however, is
unnt Gel sary to those who know the
kind Of man Martin is. The meet
ing to night will be lively. There is
talk of the McIntire folks making an
endeavor to pack the room.
