With cheers and yells and some very vlo-
liant language the County Committee OF tho
county Democracy punished Police Justice
Henry Murray last night for his attack on
Police Justice Maurice ]. Power by ex-
polling him. or by going through the form
thereof. He says that under the constitution
OF the County Democracy they cannot keep
him out OF tho County Committee. The COM
mittee met In the large meeting room OF the
Cooper Institute. and 1t did not need the pros
enco OF ex-Sheri1 James O'Brien, who was
there as large as life, to lend to 1t
many OF the characteristics OF an Eight
zenith District meeting in the heat OF
campaign. The promise OF a lively
time was good enough to pack the
room to suffocation with members Of the COM
mittee. Justice Murray was there early with
bis first lieutenant James GilliRan. and eleven
others Of the Seventeenth district organiza-
ton. This coterie sat in the centre of the
hall, wedged In between men with hostile
faces. Many OF the leaders and prominent
members OF the organization were on hand.
Among others were ]. Henry Ford, Dennis
srellissy, Thomas Costigan. d. Lowber Smith.
Justice Goldfogle Timothy j. Campbell. John
F. Ahearn. Henry II. Beekman. William L.
Mitchell. and Henry A. Gumbleton.
1t was nearly o'clock before the Committee
on Resolutions was ready to report. and Vice.
President Charles A. Jackson called the meet
ing to order. John Hayes. the Chairman Of the
committee. arose to road the report OF the
committee on Murray's charges. Orders were
yelled at him to get up on the platform. and he

Mr. Mnrray's voice grew thick, and he seemed

table. This was lost. The test came on |
