German- American Reform Union Will

term 1n- American Reform union Will
 Not Work For State officers.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-The executive committee of the German-Ameriean Re- form union held quite an exciting session of three hours last night be- hind closed doors in meetingroom at Terrace Garden. When the committee adjourned it was announced that the members were bound by resolution not to reveal any of the proceedings.
 Some members, who did not look upon the resolution as binding to their con- sciences, said that the trouble in the union began when Oswald Otendofer op- posed the Steckler-T Townsend resolution in the Coleman House conference. This resolution declared against supporting any candidate this fall who permitted his name to go upon the Tammany hall ticket. The general committee of the German Reform union at meeting held about 10 days ago, indorsed Mir. Oten- dorfer's objection to the resolution.
 The whole subject came mp again at this meeting and the opposition to Mir. Otendorfer, led by Gustav H. Schwab and Arthur Van Briesen. sought to place the German organiza- ton in accord to the other anti-Tam- many organizations. A resolution was therefore presented similar to the Stock Ter resolution, with an added declara- ton that the union, as such, will take no part in the contest for state officers, for congressman or for assemblymen, but confne itself to the municipal cam paign. Messrs. Schwab, Moses, Oppen- heimer, Arthur Van Breisen and Car thanzen supported the amended rule. United States Commissioner J. H. Sem ner, ex-School Commissioner E. J. H. Tamson and F. o. Dettman opposed it, claiming it's effect would be prejudical to the Democratic candidates for con- gress and assembly.
 The resolution was adopted, and il was said that bolt was avoided The opposition to the resolution originated in ex- Mayor Grace's "cuckoo" Democ- Yacv

that their time for arrest would probably
