ADEQUATE 10 accommodate the outpouring Of peo-
rIa from the Greater New-York who would
want 10 see and hear these great defenders OF
honest money and protection So the sugges-
ton was made that the only feasible method
for enabling all these hosts TO at least see the
speakers would he TO have an outdoor meeting.
possibly on the common at Prospect Park Mr..
Rrenner estimates that the attendance at such
a meeting as this. II the weather was at all IA
vorable could not fall below 10000. and might
easily reach 100000 1t is his idea that such n
meeting should be held at as early a date IN
September as is feasible. so that the great in
terest and enthusiasm II would be certain TO
arouse might kave it's effect throughout the
campaign.
Chairman Brenner has issued call for
meeting Of the Executive Committee for to-
night The primary purpose OF the meeting is
10 select dates for the primaries and the AS
senbly district conventions which are to choose
delegates TO the State convention august ~

and August II for the conventions. The State

NO OPPOSITION TO MR.. BRBNNBR
There Is no longer any doubt, II there was
any at any time. that Jacob Brenner Will be
d,rector-in-chief of the Republican campaign
in Kings County. Mr.. Brenner had long
talk on Saturday with Sheriff Butting who is
one Of the leaders Of the opposite faction 10
hat with which Mr.. Brenner has been identi-
fed and the Sheriff assured Mr. Brenner that
there was absolutely sentiment among the
Worth people against Mr.. Bremen taking
charge Of the campaign. Mr.. Buttling went
even further and expressed his confidence In
he ability and fairness of Mr.. Brenner, and
toId him that he would have nothing but
earnest cooperation and support from the
Worth faction The talk which Mr.. Brenner
had with the Sheriff and which he has had with
Of her Worth men. leads him 10 believe that the
long-sought harmony is at last taking hold OF
Kings County Republicans and that the CO.
operation between the two factions is to be
thoroughly friendly. and that factional contests
II any. will be made for minor nominations and
places only.
vay Of Mr. Brenner's taking the leadership OF
the campaign is his health he mas recenty
