The Democratic district clubs met last
night and elected those who will consti-
tute the new general committee Of the
party.
Meetings were held in every district in
the city simultaneously under the general
plan, and contrary to general expectations
there was no bloodshed.
In the Fortieth District a hot fight. ora
torlcal in its nature, was occasioned by
DICK O'Connor, known among his political
associates as Little Dick" who, after NJ
{. Hassett ami complete ticket had been
nominated and the nominations had been
voted closed. moved to reopen nomina-
lions. There was strenuous opposition to

| when manY motions, amendments and
! substitutes were offered. NJ. Z. Hassett.
who, besides being the nominee for chair
man OF the new district club. was also
! chairman OF the committee, ruled out one
motion after another as being out of order,
! and when vote was reached on the orig
| NAL motion to reopen nominations declared

| clared he would place his candidate In Omi-
nation for chairman anyway. He named

present voted for him. The ms refused

ter was carried BEFORE the primary COM

PLANTATION of how it all came about. and of
! his reasons for ruling as he had done

was exhausted, the committee ruled that
Parker'S name should be placed on the
! ticket.
j. II. Farren appeared before the COM
mittee to complain that he had not re-
ceVed copy of the roll in time to cite the
persons who are supposed TO be suffers to
appear before the canvassing committee
of the district this evening. This occa-
stoned tilt between him and Committee
man j. III. Fenton, who is also a member
of the Thrty-ninth District COM
mlttee and a candidate for reelection.
Mr.. FentOn bluntIy said that Farren's
statement was untrue, and that he be-
leved that he (Farren) had some other OBJ
Ject In view in making the complaint The
roll, he declared. had been delivered to
Farren last Thursday night. and he could
have, II he lad chosen, canvaSSed the dis
;rict and citeG all the suspects 10 appear
Farren reiterated his assertion, adding
that the men whom he had sent out to
canvass had made inquiries as they went
vassers had preceded 'hem, showing, he
said, that the FentUn Cfion, wh:c CHI had
possession of the roll had been making no
effort TO cleanse it of suffers. The upshot
was that Farren was ordered by the COM
mittee to get out his citations instanter and
mail them last night
The factions In the FOrty-fifth had some
trouble also. A regular ticket was nom-
mated and after that was done about q
dozen were added by the followers of
Tommy Chandler.
In each district fifteen members of the
general committee are TO be elected on
the Both of July. Last night as many
names as the clubs chose to nominate
were voted on, so that in some of the
districts several men are nominated for
the same positions. 10 the FOr:y-t0urth
