TC4RREN SAID TO BE DISGUISED.

REPORT THAT HE WILL RETIRE FROM THE
DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE WHICH IS IN
vEsTIGATING SENATOR COFFEY
It is said that Senator Patrick H. McCarren is
Disguised with the place that he holds the In
vestigating Committee Of the Kings County Demo-
cratic Executive Committee, which has become
the laughing stock of Brooklyn, well of the
upstate politicians, In its efforts to convict Senator
Michael j. Coffey of political heresy in refusing to
support J. Morrssey Gray for Register at the last
election According TO the report, Senator McCar-
will shortly hand in his resignation mem
Der of this committee he considers that the pro-
ceedings have fallen beneath his dignity 1t is
likely that if he does retire Senator McCarren will
plead that pressure of official duties at Albany
prevents his devoting the necessary time to the
business of the Investigation.
