Peculiar Illness in a Family TO he

DIR. Doty, OF the Bureau Of Contagious
Diseases, was considerably exercised
this morning over the report of the
peculiar illness in a family, which was
reported by the police Of the West One
Hundredth street station.
At 11.2o last night Policeman John ].
Barrett was notified that Mrs. Kate
Marren. forty years old. who lives with
her four little children in a shanty at
One Hundred and Third street and
Central Park West, had suddenly been
taken Ill with violent vomiting. Sew
eral OF her children. too, It was stated,
were similarly nj.
The officer Visited the house and
found his information to be correct.
He volunteered TO summon an ambu-
lance. but Mrs. Marren refused TO go
to the hospital, or to allow any OF her
children to be removed there. DIR.
Johnston, OF CS West one Hundred and
Fourth street, was summoned and pre-
scribed for the sufferers. Later on,
Policeman Horn was sent TO the house
10 ascertain the famlly's condition, and
reported that those who had been III
had recovered.
The matter was not reported TO DIR.
Doty until this morning, and he imme-
'hately detailed DIR. OByrne to make
an Immediate investigation. DIR. Doty
refused to state what his suspicious
were, but he seemed TO think that the
circumstance was worthy of more seri-
Gus attention than the police returns

both the regulars. who follow the lead

1t is the general opinion, however,
that the regulars will re victorious, be-
cause OF their success at the primaries
the other night, and they claim fourteen

In nearly all the districts the dele

leaders are not as confident as they
were. Sheriff Buttling, however, who is
recognized now as the boss of the re GU

seventy of the ninety delegates to be
elected tonight.
The lively times at the primaries In
