Boston, November 1e.-There were
many angry words spoken during the Re-
publican municipal convention called to
nominate street commissioner tonight,
and when finally the gathering had ad-
journed, the nomination had not been
made. The fight was against William
Berwin, the chief and supposed to be
winning candidate, and the debate was
between Senator Innes, for Berwin, and
Councilman Kinney OF ward ten, who
appeared to speak for Jesse nj. Cove, who
as party leader, is supposed to favor
Dore, the present street commissioner
and Democrat, who lie expected to be
turned n-by the Democratic conven-
ton in favor OF ex Senator James A.
GaIIivan, the latter having been q oandi-
date for congressional nomination in the
ninth district. The idea OF taking up
Mr.. Dore Is said to come from the belief
that the Republicans could capture the
Office. Former Alderman Berwin claims
the nomination as a party man. The con-
vention adjourned until THURSDAY, at
which time committees will submit a
name for street commissioner and names
of members OF the school board.
