DADY LOSES HIS FIGHT.
TURNED down IN THE BRooRLYN
THIRD WARD ORGANIZATION.

Col. Michael J. Dady put up a stif fight last
night to regain control OF the Republican or.
Ranization in tho Third ward In Brooklyn. from
which he WINS oustcd recently by what no
calls n shabby piece Of political chilean.
CRY OF the Worth faction. The fight took
place at the headquarters OF the Executive Com
mittee of the County Committee in tho johnson
building and fractional feeling had been running
SO high In anticipation Of the gathering, that q
dozen policemen were on hand TO keep the war
ring statesmen from coming to too close quar-
tiers, as they did n couple Of months ago.
1t was q regular meeting Of the ward commit.
tee. which is composed Of forty.seven delegates,
who are chosen from the election districts in
proportion to the vote cast for Mckinley. Tho
anti.Dady delegates had the advantage OF hav.
ing the President, Jonathan I. Norton. and the
Secretary. John Anderson. on their side,
and through the Secretary they had ar.
ranged to have tho deliberations held
behind closed doors. This excluded Col.
Dady's sympnthizing Third ward constituents.
When tho doors were opened. however, tho
Dady men made n solid rush, sweeping back tho
opposing committeeman, who had posted them
selves inside and were making frantic appeals
TO the policemen to stop tho inroad. The police
men refused to interfere one way or the other,
their instructions being simply to see that tho
peace was preserved.
Dick" Mulchay, n bitter anti-Dady dele
gate, singled out " Jim" Lee, a Dady supporter,
for expulsion, and grabbing him by the neck
rushed him toward the door. A big uproar at
tended the proceeding, the partisans on each
side rushing up to help. The policemen took a
hand and quickly stopped tho threatened gen.
cral hostilities. They also threw tho doors wide
open. and the Dady men howled with delight.
having clearly scored first blood.

claring that they were being buncoed. When
quiet had been somewhat restored Mr.; Guden.
Col. Dady's chief spokesman, got the floor and
declared that the sOcallcd election of the new
Seventh district delegates was a shame and q
viIlainy ever pcrpetrated in Brooklyn.
Mr.. Mulcahay, the discounted hero of the
bouncing effort, interrupted Mr.. Guden at
every stage of his denunciation OF the political
outrage: This was one Of his declarations:
I'm Just AZ good u robber as you are-just as
big. but not bigger"
The uproar reached n climax when Mr.. Gu.
den proceeded to call what he described as the
bona lido roll. while Secretary Anderson con.
tinued to read the other roll. Each raised his
voice to the highest pitch. and the responses OF
the rival delegates were made in the same key.
The fight continued for over an hour and the
Dady column was steadily forced to the wall
through the rulings OF the Chairman, all the
new delegates being admitted by decisive votes.
each of which was loudly hooted by tho out
siders. The vast majority OF them evidently
sided with Col. Dady. The victors rubbed 1t in
by such jabs as this:
Take your medicine now. Mike. like a man.
Don't be a schoolboy."
A Dady man sent this thrust at the Secre-
tary:
why don't you send some of your delegates
TO a kindergarten to get some knowledge OF the
English languageT
In spite OF the doctored roll and the apparent

had been chosen by a unanimous vote of his dis

purposes.
