NIGHTS MEETING

NIGHTS MEETING
Senator Thomas c. Plat. according TO County
Clerk Jacob Worth. was all ready as late as on
Saturday night OF last week to break with his
newfound allies among the ant-Worth Repub
lcans OF Kings County. and would have done so
had Mr.. Worth compiled with his request to re-
frain from introducing Low resolution at the
session OF the General Committee Tuesday night.
Mr. Worth vouches for the story in detail.
The County Clerk is determined to hold to his
course In support Of Mr.. Low for the Mayoralty
until the City Convention disposes OF the ques-
tion as to whether Mr.. Low Is to be the candi-
date not.
Il would not say much about the transaction
had It not been for the malevolence and trickery
Of the Platt people in trying to undermine and
misrepresent me to my friends" said Mr.. Worth
last night.
There would not have been any fight In the
committee worth mentioning II had consented
n sell out my friends and go back on my profess
sions OF LOYALTY TO Low and his canvass. Pat
rick H. Flynn. representing Senator Platt, had
been irving up to Saturday night last to get me
10 suppress the movement in favor OF Low IN
Hrooklyn and not to introduce Low resolution
in the General Committee. Mr.. Flynn came 10
me some weeks ago and said that he came from
Senator Platt and that ne spoke for the Senator
in very important matter that he wanted me

ator platt and he furnished me PROOF that ne
did knew that Mr. Flynn was influential IN

TALLY as follows:
