NO PEACE FOR GRUBER.
QUIGG WON'T ABIDE BY DISTRICTS
DECISION

TO RENEW THE FIGHT AGAINST THE COLO.
NEL-THE LATTER PAYS HIS CONF
PLIMENTs TO THE CHAIRMAN
The principal feature OF the Quigg-Gruber
fight YESTERDAY aside from the Joy in the Gru5er
camp over Tuesdays victory at the primaries
in the XXIst Assembly District. was TO most
minds. The statement made by Austin and IN
spired by Quigg. that the Platt organization
would not abide by the decision OF an over
wheming majority Of the Republicans OF the
district that they want Colonel Gruber 70 rep
resent them in the County COMMITTEES. bur
would begin at once the work OF overrhrowing
him ar the September primaries. The RepubIi-
can candidate for President OF the United
States VIII be nominated in June. and Qufgss
resolve means that the majority OF the RepubI-
cans in the XXIst viii not be able 70 give their
undivided attention all summer 10 working for
that candidate, but viii be forced 70 expenc
their energies and their time in part at least
until the fall lighting for the kird OF repre-
sentatlon they desire IN the councils OF their
party
What a spectacle that is said Colonel CRU
Der yesterday The president OF the County
Committee, whose duty il is to promote har-
mony within the party. is instead seen 70 De
busily engaged. IN the face OF an approaching
National campaign, IN rendIng apart the banner
Republican district OF this county. I am now
considering what stand shall take upon that
proclamation have not made UP my mind yet
whether shall 60 10 the highest political court
in the country and ask for a writ de Iunatico
inquirendo for Quigg-for IL must be apparent
that the president OF the County Committee Is
crazy If he really desires the success oc the Re-
publican party-Or whether I shall take some
other course and come 10 the conclusion II
Quigg does not really desire the Republicans 10
win any victories over the Democrats OF New
York. I viii make a speech al the Assembly
District Convention next week and IL IS prob
able that shall have something more definite TO
say about this resolve OF Quigg and Austin not
TO abide by the decision Of the majority OF the
district"
A STATEMENT BY QUIGG-

Gruber of maintaining guerilla warfare in bis
