have been stirred up considerably by the action of
the district delegation TO the County Committee in
turning down Frank Bulkley and making Alex
ander T. Mason the leader OF the district organza-
tion. Several Of them who professed TO be well

Quiggs dictation. but some Of them were already
sorry for their action Tuesday evening The
biggest Republican fight the district has ever seen
has been preciptated. It Is believed and there will
surely be two tickets. and perhaps three at the
Republican primaries in the district in September.
Mr.. Qugg's opposition TO Mr.. Bukley is de-
clared to be based mainly upon Mr. BullSley's vote
against the Astoria Gas hill ~ the Assembly last
winter and his refusal to vote for the police bill.
and the Ford Franchise Tax bill. Mr. Buckley has
declared that his refusal TO vote for the Astoria
Gas bill the chief OF Mr Quigg's dis
pleasure. What interest in that bill Mr. Quigg
may have had has not been disclosed The bill was
killed. anyhow. and several prominent Republican
politicians were much disappointed in consequence

leader Of the Republican organization in the dis
trict was unfortunate. because Mr.. Mason was the
counsel for the Ice company In which John F. Car

posed to have a controlling interest. To have the
Republican and Tammany leaders In the district
