HIS CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE SELECTED
COMMISSIONER wURsTER HAS AN EXCELLENT
BODY or LIEUTENANTS-NOTEs OF THE
BROOKLYN CANVASS

Fire Commissioner Wurster yesterday selected his
Campaign Advisory Committee follows: Theo-
dore b. Willis Senator William II. Reynolds. Coun-
~ Clerk Henry c. Safen and Joseph Benjamin.
In the makeup Of the committee Mr.. Wurster has
taken into his confidence as co-wOrkers prominent
leaders who supported William Cullen Bryant in
the nominating convention. Each one is an ae-
gressive and experienced campagner. With them
will be associated Granville W. Hartman, who Will
perhaps stand closer TO MIR. Wurster than any of
the others The committee says that about one
hundred meetings viii be held In the city directly
in the interest OF the mayoralty ticket. The Re
publican Executive Committee will meet tonight
appoint a campaign committee, whose head
quarters will be in the Johnston Building. 1t Is
regarded as probable that the Executive Committee
will be made the Campaign Committee. with Sena-
tor William H. Reynolds for chairman.
A disagreeabe factional difference Is apparent in
the Vth Senate District and the With Assembly
District between the Hamburg and McGinniss
forces. The former has been nominated for sena-
tor and has beaten Mr.. McGinnss at every point.
The two factions measured strength in the With
Assembly Convention Wednesday night Mr..
McGinniss desired the denomination OF Assembly
man Clarkson, but the Hamburg forces nominated
Charles A. Conrady. Mr.. McGinniss, much to the
surprise OF every one intimated that Mr.. Clarkson
would run as an independent candidate and seek
the Endorsement Of the Shepardltes. McGinniss s
friends yesterday pointed out TO MIN the folly OF
such a course McGinniss = young man, with
quite promising political future. ne Is an emec-
