TRY TO DEFEAT ACTION
Intense interest is felt by members Of the bat
of this city and the public generally in the meet
ing of the Bar Association which is to he hello
this evening to receive the report of the special
committee which appointed by the president
OF the association at the last meeting TO lnves-
tigate the connection of Judge Isaac II. Maynard.
of the Court of Appeals, with the legislative
steal of last fall. 1t is understood and expected
among extremely well-informed lawyers that the
report will be severely unfavorable to Maynard.
and Iammany Hall men and other Ring Demo-
Gratis are straining every nerve to prevent action
of the Bar Association, should the report Of the
committee, as is expected, strongly criticise ana
condemn Maynard.
The chairman of this committee is Frederic r.
Coudert who. as president Of the Manhattan Cluo'
is necessarily representative Democrat anu as mas
already been shown, large majority OF tne o''ier
members Of the committee are "ell-known Demo-
Gratis. For this reason the members OF the party
to which Judge Maynard belongs are greatly
worried about the outcome of the meeting They
appreciate the fact that an adverse report by this
committee of Democrats would mean an exceed
ingly black eye for the party in the campaign
next fall To add to this unpleasantness comes the
proclamation" of Judge Maynard himself
The most faithful to tile principles which Judge
May represents almost ready to admit in
private. that he had not placed himself in better
position than he occupied before he made the
statement, when the few remarks in the editorial
columns of The Sun" on Sunday came like hot
Goals on the bare flesh. Since then their con-
fdence has been oozing out slowly but surely
In view of the danger which threatens May
nard the leaders OF Tammany Hall are in cold
shivers about the outcome of the meeting. To
show how attempts are made to influence fnde-
pendent opinion, no matter what disgraceful facts
the committee may disclose about Maynard. Q
prominent Tammany official has been sending out
this letter under date Of March 10. to members
Of the association:

resolution To censure Judge MAYNARD H. .. .sA

to get as many votes as | Yours truly,
A number of the faithful will be sent to the
meeting to act in much the same way as nelson
Smith the chairman of the Tammany Oeneral
Committee and Roger Foster did at the last
meeting. when they tried to stop the proceedings
by introducing lot of true Iammany piuster,
shoud il become evident at this meeting that
some action adverse TO Judge Maynard Is nkely
to be taken. In consequence OF the disciosutts
of the last few days, the complexion OF the repoio
of the committee seems to be inevltaDle, ana IL 10
for this reason that the members Of Iammany
Hall find themselves pushed to the wall and VIII

For these reasons it becomes exceedingly I'M

renurslble member of the Bar Association, VINO
cares ANYTHING for the good name of that body to
I've present and see 10 1t that any attempt OF thls
kind is promptly suppressed

of the proceedings of these meetings
