The Republican managers in Brooklyn have
set the political machinery for the fall cam
paign in motion little ahead OF their opp
nents. The Executive Committeeman OF the
reorganized Republican forces met last night
at the Lawrence street headquarters. and ar
ranged tho prelminaries for the choice Of
delegates to the State Convention.
The primary elections in tho 600 election dis
tricts in Kings county are to be held on Sept.
90 Two days later tho delegates chosen at
the primaries will hold ward committee meet
ings and elect delegates to the eighteen As
semi bly, district conventions. The latter will
meet on Oct. 2 and name delegates to tho
State Convention. Hitherto the delegates to
ly at tho ward association primaries.
There Is more apparent harmony in the Re-
publican ranks this year than for long period
and much interest Is felt In the new tangled
Philadelphia plan Of organization. which Is to
be tested at the polls for the first time in
Brooklyn in November. Some enthusiastic
partisans expect great results. but many
shrewd political workers anticipate another
sweeping victory this year for tho well trained
compact. and united Democracy.
Revenue Collector Ernst Nathan, the former
boss Of the organization. seems to have been
completely eliminated from all participation

count. The demurrer is based on these points

!. Tho said declaration consists OF three

that said three contracts to marry were sub
