, FoOmsof the Business Mems Club IN the
Baldwin Annex were in their turn 1ound
to be too small for the requirements. To-
night the committee will make another
move, this time to IroQuois Hall in Pyth-
ian Castle, on Market street.
Chairman Pepper had mis- hands full
last evening when he undertook to smooth
= over the differences in the various dis
tricts. Billy Fitzgerald was on hand with
g pOcketful Of afidavits to prove that John
M. Klein, chairman of the Forty fifth Dis
trict committee. did not live in the district.
.. The old standby, the Thirty-SiXth. had a
delegation present to renew the old fight;
- the Thirty-fifth was there TO settle its con-
: tentlon over the oustiug OF Committeeman
=: FREEZER, and there were rolls and citations
piled upon the table in splendid confusion.
John Murphy of the canvassing commit
tee of the Twenty ghth sent in cOmmu-
: :n1catiOn setting forth that the majority
had allowed the names OF suffers 10 re-
main on the list and had stricken of the
names of legitimate voters. The commu-
a.: nication was accompanied by long list of
names, which Murphy thought should be
dropped, There we're no representatives
Of the majority In attendance and the mat
ter was put over for Monday night.
The Twenty-niDth was reported to be
all serene, but when the ThirtIeth was
called J. j. Cardigan reported that the
names of Emet Callahan. Peter j. and
John J. Quinn and John Swift had been
improperly deprived of their votes. They
all lived at 127 Shirley street, were good
Democrats aud should be restored to
the roll. Then the question Of Can
didate 0NeiPs application to change
o his place on the ticket from
the Craftsmanship to the canvassing COM
mittee hobbled I'D again. and the primary
committee informed the committee that 1t
had been decided in executive session that
the change could not be allowed. Tho
primary committee, Chairman Pepper said,
did not have the power. Therefore, when
3. a question of power was raised the com.
miItee claimed all the power the Demo-
cratic party could give.
james B. Hughes handed in the copy of
the roll of the ThIFty-Ihird, where there is
no serious fight
Several resolute members of the can
Yassing committee of the Thirty-ffth pro-
tested against the recommendation OF
other members that the name of j. j. Nc
Donald be stricken from the ticket on the
ground that he did not live in the district.
He is . candidate for election to the can
yassng committee and is registered from
1926 Mission street, p. ]. Carr was ready
to swear that Mcdonald lived at 2019
Mission street, which was in the Thirty.
fourth District. He stubbor0ly contended
tHat Mcdonald had no right on the ticket
E. The purists took the matter under advise
;ujent and then James 2. SleVin related the
story of the ousting of Philip Frther from
the canvaSsing committee Of the Thirty
fifth, whose resignation had been accepted
before 1t was rendered, the vacancy being
flied by the election Of William j. Con-
- molly at a meeting held without the knoWl-
edge of the FREEZER crowd. This matter

:. The majority aud minority Of the can
wasting committee OF the Thirty-sxth
submitted lists. Peter Quinn, who once
captured the roll, asked for copy of il,
. and e lively tilt took place between him
and Mr.. Burns. Chairman Pepper be-
: came confused during the wrangle and
asked: what IS 1t you want, anyway,
Nj. Quinn?" "WantP' put in Burns,
with a sheer, you'll never in the world be
able to give him what he wants" The
confusion and disputes then became SO
general and the hOpelessness of giving
Quinn what he wanted so apparent that
the outcome was that nothing at all
was done.
in the absence of anything else to de-
mand Canvssser FarTen Of The Thirty
ninth asked for full copy Of the roll.
de was told he could copy it himself, and.
having had his request granted, be was
:: silenced and didn't want the cory.
. l.
the committee TO set night for arranging
a settlement in his district, and the en-
kagement cards of the members we're SO
full that they had to fix upon Sunday night
for the work.
The FOrty-ffth was now reached, and
Billy Fitzgerald came forward with his
bundle Of papers. He had tax receipts
showing that Chairman Klein lived out on
Alabama street, and there were also affi-
davits from neghbors of Klein to the effect
that he had his residence there. The
proof seemed complete. Fitzgerald also
demanded that {. w. Neyins, candidate for
the canVassinR committee, be stricken from
the ticket, as he was not a member of the
club. and that John j. Cunningham be
g. blotted from the roll on the broad ground
that ne was a suffer. The whole matter
was put over to Monday and the commit
tee went into executive session.
