BROOKLYN POLITICS
Preparations for the Primaries Stir tn
Leaders of Roth Parties.

Politics In Brooklyn will become moro or
less active during the present week. In view OF
the noar approach OF the primary elections
preliminary to tho choice Of delegates 10 tho
State Convention. Tho Republicans will first
take tho fold. their primaries having been
fixed for Sept. /.
There is just az much factional bitterness In
tho Republican ranks as during the famous
Woodruff Baldwin set-to year or so aao and
there Is scarcely n ward association In which
this spirit will not be manifested at the com.
ing primaries. In some Of the wards In which
tho Republicans have o majority. the contests
will be especially bitter. A groat effort will be
made by the statesmen who are opposed to tho
continued supremacy OF Revenue Collector
Ernest Nathan In the management OF
the party In Kings county. to weaken
his hold ON tho machinery OF tho organization.
Tho strife at the primary elections will be d.
reoted rather to local matters than to the
choice OF a candidate for Governor. Tho indt-
cations are that Mr. Nathan will not be weak
ened as political manager and that he will
hnve more to say than any other man IN Kings
An effort Will be made this year to harmonizs
