New York, Oct. SAThe most s:nsa- tional event of the municipal campaign was the action taken tonight by the Henry George campaign committee. The Citizens Union county ticket in New York county, the Mclaughlin dem- ocratio in Kings county, the Mullen democratic ticket in Richmond and the Madden democratic ticket in Queens are all to be indorsed. At Il o'clock it was said that assembly, aldermanic and borough tickets of the same organ ization had also been indorsed, but this could not be verified. The Georgeites started in to name a city ticket of their own, and by Il o'clock it was reported that Charles Frederick Adams, for pres- ident of the council, was the only man chosen. It is understood that he will withdraw as candidate for the court of appeals against Judge A. B. Parker, the regular democratic candidate. It is said that the conclusions reached are the work of Tom L. Johnson and some of the members of the campaign com- mittee. What the effect will be is hard to forecast, but tonight it looked as if it would demoralize MT. Georges forces.
 The United Democracy, which first nominated George, declared tonight through it's leaders that it was done with the George movement.
 Secretary Culver, of the Democratic klliance, was particularly outspoken, and said his organization would knife George if the ticket was forced on it.
 The populists seemed to take the same view.
 Later 1t was said that Charles Freder- ick Adams had not been chosen for president of the council, although he probably will be. It is hoped and ad- mitted by the Citizens Union leaders and Georgeites that there was a deal between the two. The Citizens Union was yesterday circulating petitions with the rooster or George emblem at the top to get the George tickets on the bal- lots. In return for this the George man. agers indorse the Citizens Union ticket in this county.
 The campaign committee, in explana- tion of their acton in making the in dorsements mentioned, say they do not fear the ~ tened defection of the united democracy, headed by James Eastin and the democratic alliance. The united democracy, they say, has been dealing with Tammany for several days and they are glad to get rid of it. They say the alliance, while angry just now, will fall into line. But whether it does or not they profess not to care, saying the George movement is now so desply rooted that no organization can hurt it.
 Had the alliance and united democ- racy been able to agree on a ticket to- nights action of the campaign commit tee might have been very different. They say the fight of the leaders left no other course open.
 ~ The registration which began today was unusually large for a non-presi- dential year. The total registration to- day in Brooklyn was 75,031, as compared with 59S69 on the first day of rsgistra- ton in 1895, and s0,1S5 on the first day in 1896.
 The total registration in the terri tory comprised in the Greater New York was 199,O56.
