no HOSTILITY AMONG PARTY LEADERS OVER THE
ADVOCACY OF SETH LOW By THE
COUNTY CLERK
County Clerk Jacob Worths return to Saratoga
Yesterday was the explana ton for lull In the
political discussion which has kept brooklyn poh-
ticlans thinking since Senator Platts newspaper
organ published few days ago two artic'es Oh
Mr. worhs political standing. The County Clerk
returned to his summer home assured OF the con-
tinued loyalty OF his followers. and much at ease
as TO his ability to fight against Senator Platt In
the Greater New-York City Convention.
The political prophets and soothsayers VINO nave
been attacking Mr.. Worth recently have amehdeu
their stories about the resurrection AMONG Ni''
Worth's followers so that 1t now reads that the
County Clerk Is to have serious difficulty In con-
trolling the county convention which will nominate
the Republican candidates for Sheriff County Clerk
and Register. When first printed the stories were
to the effect that Mr.. Worth's advocacy OF Seth
Low the cause of his weakness 1t has always
been an open question whether Mr. Worth would
be able to control the county convention. HIS fol-
lowers assert positively that he will have big
majority in the convention. while the associates
OF Commissioner Willis declare with equal positive
that Mr. Worth will not be able to put through
his slate that occasion. Bets are even on this
subject.
As the date OF the city convention approaches 1t
becomes more and more nst there no no
President Low. Both the County Clerk and TIE
Commissioner OF City Works are vigorously claim
lumbias president However far apart the rival
leaders may be other subjects, they are at one
In agreeing that Mr.. Low should be the candidate
for Mayor. The chances are good, indeed, that
they are likely to disagree on Brooklyns candidate
for the Controcrshp, although the friends of both
say they intend to support Mayor Wurster Tor this
place.
