ERNST NATHAN ION DECK AGAIN.
Resumes His Political Toga to Help Down
Dady and Atterbury.

Dady and Atterbury.
Former Revenue Collector Ernst Nathan OF
Brooklyn has emerged from political retire
ment to assist in the reorganization OF the Re-
publican forces in that borough, and. incident
ally. to help along the movement looking to the
downfall OF Lieut.. Gov. Woodruff. Col. Michael
J. Dady and Walter b. Atterbury. the present
chief managers. Mr.. Nathan was formerly
potent factor in the organization and was cred
tied with remarkable shrewdness in his polit-
cal methods. Since his dethronement by the
Worth Buttlng faction his activity has been
confined to local field and his reappearance
in the broader political arena has caused a
good deal Of surprise. He Is resident Of the
Twenty-thiri ward. and his efforts will
he specially directed to weaken Mr.. At
terbury's props in that district. The anti
Woodruff -Dady -AtterDury com blnation has
apparently abandoned the idea of max
ing William Cullen Bryant Chairman Of the new
County Committee. owing to Mr.. Bryant's re-
Bremen will probably be Mr. Atterbury's op-
ponent. while Mr.. Appleton Is likely to be
pittsd against Col Dady for the Chairmanship
of the Executive Committee.
The State organization Is not going to be
drawn into the battle. and already each side
has assured Senator Plat that only the local
issue Ia involved. From the present outlook
there will be Il contest in each election district
In the county. and many OF the leaders. il is
said. will foreRo their summer vacations SO as
to strengthen their lines.
