ORGANIZATION MEN ARRESTED.
The Republican Fight In CastIeten Gets Este

John J. Hayes and John G. Corson. TWO ne
publican County Committeeman OF the rourtn
district OF Castleton, Richmond county. toeetner
with the secretary of the district, were arreeVeu
on Thursday night AT the instance or Jonh Dai-
berg OF New Brighton. on a charge OF attempt
ing fraudulently TO abolish the cnrollmentoi inc
district. A warrant was also issucd TOT the AT
rest OF Thomas Branif, the Secretary OF the
Republican County Committee, charging him
with fraudulently attempting to change the en-
~rollment, but he could not be found. Joseph W.
Barry, the Secretary OF the district, was ar
rested also. They were arraigned before Justice
Acker in New Brighton and released for trial
next Tuesday morning.
The arrests are but u phase in the fight going
on between a faction in the Republican party
headed by District Attorney Pinney and the
regular organization, of which Hugh NcRoberts
is the leader. At the last meeting Of the Repub-
l'can County Committee no place was set for
the primary. This has been the custom for
some years. A notice was published on W ed

Pinney followers took the notice as an
evidence Of fraud and sent an agent TO Corson.

district and freeze out the Pinney followers
when the new enrolment Is made.
The comnittee'nen yesterday denounced their
arrest as an outrage, and said they would be
able to straighten the matter out in court. The
books they declared were all right, and probably
would be produced. The FACT that an unsigned

did not think was very substantial proof OF
fraud, and certainly very little on which TO
cause arrests. They declared that Dalberg was
but a stool. pigeon, and that the Pinney follow
ers. in their fear OF defeat, were going to the
last extreme TO attempt TO bulldoZe them.
The arrests might react like a boomerang. and
they did not propose to let Mr.. Pinney or his
agents make arrests at will, with nothing but
theory to back the warrants.
