WHAT MR. FITCHIE SAYS.
Thomas Ftche. when asked yesterday how
ths Mckinley movement was progressing SAID
I'VE are no longer looking for recruits. The
ranks are full already. But We never turn APP
plcants away. so we gladly receive all Corners
Where are our headquarters? Everywhere
You find Mckinley men wherever you go, and
ne DO not need headquarters in any one place
The city OF Brooklyn Is one big headquarters
Mayor Wurster says shat he WILL In all prob
ability. allow his alternate to go TO st. Louis in
his place He says that he would have 10 De
out Of the city for fully week. and that IL
would not be wise TO leave the city government
alone as long as that. inasmuch as freside,i'
Clark of the Board Of Aldermen would be In ST
Louis at the same time. If both Mayor Wurster
and Alderman Clark were out of the city at the
sane time the Aldermen would have TO elect
temporary president, who would occupy the
Nsyor's chair throughout the week. This emer-
,sncy is one which the Mayor says he preiers
siycid If possible. Mayor Wurster says ne mas
hu confidence in his alternate. Mr. Miliiken' OF
The Twenty first Ward, and believes that the
ler interests of the city demand his own pres
snce in Brooklyn during the week Of the con-
yention
pie, would cast his vote for Mckinley at the out
set. Mayor Wurster on the other hard, refuses
to allow his name TO be placed in the Mckinley
column. although he is known to be for Mckin-
ley at heart. A decision by him 10 stay at
home and allow his alternate to vote for Nc
Kinley would consequently be little more or less
than a diplomatic move whereby he could secure
a vote for Mckinley and at the same time clear
himself Of the charge Of inideity 10 the Cover
nor Should Mayor Wurster decide 10 stay at
home. II is practically certain that E. j. Kalten-
ech, the other delegate from the With District
will transfer his Mckinley button from his
pocket TO his coat lapel

pressed their preference for Mckinley. They will

Will be reinforced by dozens of Republicans from
other parts OF the district.
On Saturday evening an enthusiastic meeting
was held at No. 623 Clinton-st.. by Twelfth Ward
voters who formed branch of the Kings County
Protective League. The league will work ear
hesuy and theoretically for Mckinley both before
