County Clerk Jacob Worth Of Kings county
came down from his summer homo at Saratoga
yesterday and submitted to an interview on the
Greater New York political situation. which was
printed at length in the Brooklyn Eagle yester-
day afternoon.
Tho statement of the Brooklyn leader was
paraded as a criticism adverse to tho attitude
Of President Quigg Of tho New York County
Committee toward the Citizens Union. Among
other things Mr.. Worth said:

organization OF the Republican district associations

propoaitions he laid down from both the standpoint

President Quigg of the New York county Re-
publican County Committee returned last even
Ing from Washington and read MIR. Worth's in
teryiew soon after his arrival. He said laugh.
ingly to THE Q reporter that he did not care
to comment on Mr.. Worth's statements, but
when pressed to say som ething he declared:

him. That is just the way we do things here.

thousands did So"
In the thousands referred to by Mr.. ouieg as
having enrolled on last Tuesday night are most
Of the leaders of tho small Brookheld-Swayne
faction. The suggestion printed In the Ercninp
will have many accessions as a result OF the re-
vision and enrolment, therefore, amuses the
local Republican leaders very much. With all
their district leaders enrolled in the regular
movement except Mr.. Brookneid and GEN.
Swayne, and as the General has a habit of for
getting to register and vote, they say he Is not
to be considered a political factor.
