CLUBS NOT TO HAVE CHARGE.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE DECIDES TO
SUPERVISE KINGS COUNTY REPRE-
SENTATION AT PHILADELPHIA.

At meeting of the Republican Executive Com
mittee held yesterday afternoon in the Joralemon-
ST. Headquarters 1t decided that all plans for
the Kings County representation at the National
Convention should be in the hands of the regular
organization, rather than with individual clubs
that have evinced u desire TO assume the manage
ment
As Is known. many Kings County Republicans
are going to Philadelphia with the idea of fighting
for the nomination of Lieutenant-Governor Tim
othy l.. Woodruff for ce-President Some time
ago the Logan Club announced that 1t would
men TO the convention and special trains were
talked of. The regular leaders of the county did
not take kindly to this, however. and yesterday
decided that whatever to be done should be
under the direct supervision of the regular organi
cation. Notices this effect sent last night
to the various Republican clubs in the borough.
Whatever the Logan Club the Kings County
Republican Club does will be under the direction
of the chairman of the Executive Committee, 1t
is said. Naval officer Robert A. Sharkey, Alfred
T. Hobley and Jesse ID. Frost were chosen a COM
mittee to confer with the various organizations.
Michael j. Dady, chairman of the Executive
Committee, believes that it is not feasible TO at
tempt to take thousand people TO Philadelphia.

for that number. The idea is TO select twenty
five from each Assembly district TO take the

FOR MORE LOOPS AT THE BRIDGE.
COMMISSIONER SHEA SAYS HE WOULD
GLADLY ENTERTAIN SUCH
PROPOSITION.

Bridge Commissioner John l.. Shea told
Tribune reporter yesterday afternoon that ne
would be glad to entertain proposition from
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company looking
to the building of two loops at the New
York end of the Bridge The accident on Friday
night, when three four men were badly
squeezed between moving car and pillar is
reminder that the crush at the Bridge Is
growing worse all the time, and that something
will have to be done to relieve the congestion
there at night 1t is not expected that more
loops will increase the capacity of the tracks
across the Bridge, but it is regarded as certain
that additional loops Will facilitate the loauins
of the cars during the rush hours at night
The that the request Of the rapid
transit company not granted year and
half ago" said Commissioner shea Yesterday
was that objections were made by Frederick
Uhlmann president of the Brooklyn Elevated
Railroad Company, who said that additional
loops would force the doing away with the
central staircase leading from Park Row TO the
gallery and that this against the interests
of his company. If President Rosslter wants 10
renew the request, now that the transit company
controls the elevated lines, we shall be glad TO
consider his proposition AS matter OF facl'
the people ought to use the elevated roads more
generally. That would relieve the crush on the
surface lines great extent
When President ROSSiter was seen ne init
mated that his company would be glad TO aNal
itself of the opportunity to build two additional
loops Chief Engineer Martin says it is doubtful
If there is room for the additional loops.

Yesterday began hot and ended hot. The
temperature went up with the sun, starting at
10 degrees at q O'Clock, and at the meridian
hour reaching S6 degrees. The mercury had got
such a momentum by this time that it kept on
going up until o'clock, when it reached SS de-
grees. From that time the thermometer ap-
peared to cool off. AT O'Clock it was S6 de-
grees; at Z, s3; at o. 1s. and at midnight it had
got back to nearly 20 The mercury bulbs
cooled off, but nothing else seemed to. Accord
ing to the local Weather Bureau, yesterday was
the hottest May II since the establishment of
the Bureau in 1870
The heat brought not only discomfort but
real suffering. By midnight last night five peo-
pie were known to the police to have been over
come by the heat and were removed to hos
pitais. But there were many more who doubt
less were Frustrated unknown to the public and
the police.

because of its unseasona bleness PeopIe were

comfort was felt in the restaurants for this rea-
