Lite was said against Seth Low. and tho bulk
OF the talk was about defeating Worth IN the coun-
~ convention. Commissioner Wills denied MIN
self 10 reporters but Mr Woodruff res poEdad 10
the request OF 4 number OF newspaper men 10 come
out Of the conference chamber and tell something
about the object % the meeting
"The friends OF the State organization simply
getting together for harmonious work" said Mr..
Woodruff. 81 am free TO say that We are highly
gratiGcd over the reports that have received to-
night from the districts. and there arc a number
OF G!sagreeable surprises IN store for tho who
have broken from the State organization"
rs there any understanding that from tonight
you are to be Mr.. Platrs accredited Representa-
tive?' he vas asked.
Ia Mr.. Willis the accredited Pmit leader In
10. he is not. We are more properly Cocoon

ny no means" sad Mr.. Woodrun "For al
that know. We may nominate Mr.. Low at the
city convention"
WHAT have you done"
We are simply getting t3gether. There Is only
one thing that want especially 10 say continued
Mr.. Woodruff. and taat Is that IN tnis hght tne
al, o-saniaa,ion. or al least that Is my position
Mr. Worth ard Mr.. Quilting have broken via

7 have ATTENDED IN tho capacity of Il del gate

A trimmer They axe the trimmer"
There have been few quicker changes in Kings
County politics than the which brinGs Nj
Woodruff and Mr.. At,erbury into HARMONIOUS rcla-
tons again. Less than year ago MI; woodruff
CURLY told Mr. Atterbury tla' he would ride over
him and crush him. and Attsrbury dened him.
Their enmIty toward each other reached an acute
stage and Mr.. Atterbury put Il ROD In pickle for
he Lieutena nj Governor Last night their knees
touched under the same table they planned 10
pulverize Jacob Worth In the county convention.
