Third OF tho city Convention Delegates.
Political excitement ragged ncrcely for q couple '
n, hours in Brooklyn last night, when tho Re-
publican primaries, which were TO seal tho fate
nj, tho Hon. Jacob Worth, were in progress.
The battle ragged all along the limo from start to
trish, there being f~1Ctional contests in nearly
ali o, he $50 election districts.
Tim real issue involved WAS the choice OF dele
oates TO tho County Convention. tho capture of
which Worth has been plotting for the past
wear. Although Worth had unfurlcd the Low
hammer carly in the canvass in order to gain SYM
nathy outside the ranks Of his steady supporters
and throw dnst in the eyes OF the rank and file
q, the organization, tho Citizens Union cand!-
d.tr cut no figure in tho decisive battle last
rirh,. As has been forcshadowcd all along in
Tur Sun, the drubbing which Worth received in
the County Committee was repeated last night,
with the lash even more vigorously applied.
The Worth.Buttling-P Palmer combination vas
not only beaten in the wards and districts which
have all along resisted its methods. but many of
its own s'-onghoids were captured. and in all di.
rccttcns there was a shrinkage in the usual
Worth vote.
The Woodruff. Willis. Atterbury combination
will control not only the County Convention,
but all the other local conventions, and will
send a delegation to tho CITY convention,
which Will prove IA bad surprise TO the howIerS
OF The Citizens Union. who have been banking
on the supposed overwhelming Low sentiment
IN Brooklyn.
Out OF the fifteen districts in the First ward
Worth carried only two.
The Second ward was solidly against Worth.
The Third ward. tho control of which was
rantured BY Worth and ButtlinE, was rccov-
cred last night by Col. Michael Dady. who VIII
now depose Hugo Hirsch from the leadership.
padv and Hirsch were directly pittcd against
each other in one oil the districts and Dady won
ty vote OF A. to l6.
