.PLATT WINS IN BROOKLYN.
Everything Went His Way at
Lively Primaries Last Night.
Buttling Wins in the Local Fight
Against Himself.

The returns in Brooklyn this morning
OF the Republican primaries held
throughout Kings County last night

everything. There Is no longer any
doubt that Mr. Morton will receive the
support of the Kings County delegates.

sembly districts of Kings County will
go to the Convention to support Mr..
Platts nominee. The other four dis
tricts are not anti-PIatt. but are looked
upon by the leaders as doubtful.

One prominent feature about the pri-
| maries Is the fact that all the machine

| legal redress would be sought.
The victory of McGinness will send

The strongest fight was made in the
around scrap" in which Alderman
the Ward hid gathered in the Associa-
ton clubhouse to wait for the returns
from the various districts. Two of
Alderman Jahn's sons got in a quarrel
with Richard Niulcahey. Friends on
both sides took part in the quarrel.
Alderman JahI grabbed Mulcahey, and
the latter got grip on the Alderman S
throat Mulcahey's grasp frightened on
the Alderman's throat until he became
