they say. "and there can be only one set OF dele
gates chosen. Any other delegation will have no
semblance of regularity" Tammauy Hall meets
this with the declaration that to take part
in primaries where tho inspectors are
named by the County Democracy leaders
would be political suicides that 10 matter how
many votes Tammany Hall might cast. the returns
would show majority in favor Of their opponents.
Consequently they refuse absolutely to have any
thing to do with such an arrangement.

lieuteuanis said he would not be here to-day. As

his proxy and Mr. Kelly dld not attend the meeting
OF the State Committee. There Is good deal of

prudent TO stay away. He would be mona free to
act. no matter what the decision of the committee
might be if he took no part IN Its proceedings. The
statement has been made that Mr.. Kelly
did not wish to meet and reply
to the castgaton that he and Tammanv
Hall would be likely to receive at the hands
of his Oid-tme lieutenant and some OF the original
leaders OF the County Democracy. Mr. Kelly has
nevrr been accused of eowardice either morally or
physically, aud this statement has therefore little
weight
