1T MAY BE DISSOLVED.
POSSIBLE END OF THE BROOKFIELD.
SwAYNE ORGANIZATION.

RESULT OF THE DISPUTE ON MONDAY NIGHT
MIR. pRooKFIEIp SAYS IN ALL PRopA-
BlIITY He WILL NOT ATTEND AN
OTHER MEETING.
II Is probable that the Republican Organiza-
ton OF the County OF New-York-the Brookfeld-
Swayne organizaton-will be dissolved at an
early date. This is the result OF the dispute
that arose at the meeting on Monday night.
As q consequence OF the trouble created by the
disafrccted element OF the organization. the lead
ers are so dishcartened that yesterday they ad-
mit,ed there seemed to be little hope OF carry
ING on the work of the organization. or even OF
maintaining its identity. Members asserted
that the Jerome faction had destroyed its use
fvlness. Ardent supporters Of the organization
arc announcing their withdrawal from 1t. and
candidly say they have lost faith In It, The
two resolutions declaring the position OF the
organization in the State campaign remain un-
acted upon. and likely TO so remain FOR
long time. it said yeterday.
The resolution Of the Jerome faction offered
at the previous meeting. proposing TO support
the Citizens Union candidates. was bitterly de-
nounced yesterday by some members prom
inent leader said This will never receive the
sanction Of a majority of the Brookneld-Swayhe
organization. We cannot bind ourselves 10 ac-
cept the judgment of the Citizens Union for
their policy in the Low campaign was one that
we cannot uphold. The only effect of their
ticket will be to divide the respectable vote and
give the Democrats a better chance to win. we
cannot go into a rule-or-ruin policy
The resolution renomnating Governor Black
will doubtless be dropped 1t was ADDED as the
advocates Of the resolution, In the interest or
harmony. do not wish TO stir up those VINO OPP
pose II. .,.
When William Brookfeld was seen yesterday
the only comment he would make on the meet
ing was:
THE only thing l say about last nights
meeting is that in all probability II VIII DE 'he
last one that | shall ever attend"
The action Of the jerome faction IN trying 10

ton for licenses before the last day OF the present

lectors OF Internal Revenue for the lid and
lid districts. said yesterday that there would be
excuse for any one neglecting to take out his
licenses. they had given the utmost publicity
to the provisions OF the new law.
According TO Mr.. Treat, great amount OF mis-
understanding seems to prevail regarding the de-
cision OF Commissioner n. b. Scott touching the
liability OF all commission merchants to take out a
special license of $50 before September 1. Under the
old revenue law distinction was drawn between a
broker and merchant, but under the law II
is held that every merchant mercantile firm
ceving goods commission must be provided
with the special license Many protests have
been made against the construction OF the new
law arrived at by Commissioner Scott. but up
TO yesterday intmation had been received OF
any possible modification OF the Commissioners de-
cision the gist OF which is contained In the follow
Ing extract from his recent letter to the collectors
