FIGHT FOR SUPERIOR COURT.

The Executive Committee of the LXN.
met at lilo o'clock this morning in the
rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, on
Nassau street, for the purpose of re-
modelling its reform ticket. No meeting
of the Committee had been held since
Friday night last, when the Grace peo-
pie kicked over the traces and refused
to indorse the LINKS candidate for
Mayor, w. l.. Strong.
When Charles Stew"-t Smith arrived
before the meeting was called to order,
he stated that he had just left Mr..
Strong. Then he added:
You may say, as coming from me,
that Mr.. Strong is in the field to stay"
The announcement was received with
applause by the members of the Com
mittee who overheard It,. 1t reduced the
work Of the Committee to fixing up the
tail OF the ticket, as 1t Is understood
that the LXX.'s choice for Recorder,
John w. Gofr, is also willing to stick.
Gen. Coils, representing the Republi-
can organization. urged the members of
the Committee to wipe the names of the
Grace people from the slate and put on
the names of men whose organizations
are ready to follow the Strong Golf ban
ner. These are the changes that were
talked Of.
Alfred Steckler Independent, or A. w.
Hutchins, O'Brienite, for Judge of the
Superior Court.
Alfred r. Conkling Good Government
Club, for President of the Board of
Aldermen. .1ksEHlA
DR.. A. j. Palmer, Republican leader
Of the Twenty-fifth District, to take
O'Meaghers place on the ticket for
Coroner.
Mr.. Hutchins, Jimmy O'Brien's cand-
date for Superior Court Judge, is objec-
tonable to many members of the Ink.
for the reason that his father, Waldo
Hutchns. was one OF the organizers of the
old Know-Nothing party. This fact,
some Of the Xxx. say, would weaken
the chances OF the ticket just as much
as II 1t had deliberately put an A. p. A.
man on 1t.
After the Committee went into execu-
tive session, however. some Of the men,
bers suggested that the LXX.s ticket
should not be changed until after the
Grace people and German-American Re-
formers have. in convention. taken for
NAL action on the ticket presented last
Friday night.
Attention was called to the fact that
the Grace men hold their county conven'
ton tonight, and the argument In IA
vor Of this delay was that II the Xxx
should cut the names Of Grace candi
dates from the ticket. the leaders of the
State Democracy could say they were
turned down before their convention
had taken formal action.
Although Grace and Scott have boil
declared against a Republican for Mayor
their organization has not acted and can
not do SO until tonight.
Others OF the Executive Commute
wanted to go ahead and fix slate
once with the names Of Grace caidi
dates left out, to be presented 10 Tn
Xxx. as soon as possible. They elaine
that the State Democracy should b
classed in the ranks of the enemy an
that delay would be dangerous.
The debate for an hour was rathe
lively. and then an adjournment wa
taken until 4 o'clock.
In the mean time wires are being pulle
: In lively fashion by men who are anxiou
to adorn the LXX.'s amended ticket.
After the meeting OF the LXX.'s En-
ecutive Committee. Chairman Smit
announced the receipt of a letter froi
Mr.. Johnson. of the Good Governmer
Siups' denying report that the c!ul
would not support Strong, and also e.
pressing the belief that the LXX.'s Ell
TIRE ticket will be supported.
The members OF the Executive Con
mittee who were at the meeting to-da
were:
Charles Stewart Smith, Everett
