BROOKLYN DEMOCRATS PROTEST.
They Speak Out Against Senator HIS
MiI-xiniar Convention.


NEW YoRK, Feb. 5.-Machine politicians
who have been sneering at the Few York
revolt against Senator Hills mid-winter
convention were given additional food for
serious consideration in a conference held
in the Clarendon Hotel, Brooklyn, tonight.
1t was convened by call which says;
1.-THE state committee Of the Democratic
party having, in defiance of the precedent.
designated February 22d for the holdingof
the state convention for the election of
delegates to the national convention, 1t is
the sense of the undersigned Democrats OF
the city of Brooklyn that the action of the
said committee involves and contemplates
the destruction of the free agency of the
party in this state and the substitution of
the Democratic machine forthe Democratic
peoDle in the choice of delegates to the
national convention, and that II is the duty
OF Democrats having the principles of
their party at heart to take all practicable
action to oppose such undemocratic proce-
dure." The call was signed by Rev. DR..
Charles w. Hall, ex-Mayor Hunter, Alex.
Il. Orr, A. A. Healy. and about hundred
of the most reputable and influential citi-
zens of Brooklyn, who have for years been
known as sound and uncompromising
Democrats. The paper has been circulated
among members Of the party for the past
few days, and ii is said that other promi
iitht ilNllf WIN, lbT lluNt
not been inclined to append Their names
have expressed with various degrees of
enthusiasm their sympathy with the
movement and hope of its success.
The conference was presided over by r..
W. Hinrichs, president of the Young
Mems Democratic Club, and after an ex-
change of views by those present. the
tenor of which is expressed in the language
OF the call it was determined to hold IL
mass meeting of protest on the evening of
February 18th. A committee Of q leading
Democrats was appointed to look after the
details, and the recent proceedings in this
city were practically duplicated. A per
manent organization will be effected, and
from the reports of those present
at the conference. and the many
letters Of approval already received. a
very large roll, even surprising the New
York number, will Immediately be put ON
record of Democrats who do not believe in
primaries in the snow" and the other
adiuncts Of the mid-winter Hill conven-
ton. The effect of this movement in Kings
county will be even more pronounced and
important than the revolt in New York
city, because the Brooklyn community is
much more conservative and independent.
The chairman of the committee of twenty
five is Mr.. A. A. IIcaly president of the
Brooklyn Democratic Club, an old and
active worker.
