NICHOLAS T BROWNS NAME GOES OFF

ITY THAT IT WILL NOT BE
RESTORED.

The fusion slate for borough and county Of
fees was unanimously indorsed last night at
the county and borough conventions of the
Citizens Union with the sole exception Of the
name OF Nicholas T. Brown, former Tammany
leader of the Id Assembly District. tentatively
chosen for one of the coronerships. Mr. Browns
name will go back to the committee. and there
is strong probability that he will be left off
the ticket The removal of Mr. Browns name
was caused by attack on him by the "Staats
Zeitung" whose article brought to the at
tention of the convention by Ernest Meisner, of
the XIIIth District one of the youngest dele
gates. The ticket nominated is follows:

All the indorsing speeches had been made IN
the borough convention. and everything was
ready for the final adoption of the report of the
conference committee read by DR. f. r. l..
Gould. when young Mr.. Meisner exploded his
bombshell which figurativey blew ex-Alderman
Brown off the ticket. Young Mr. Meisner has a
very red face, and unusual voice. He sat on
one OF the rear seats, and when he tried TO get
the ear Of the chairman. Calvin Tompkins it
was like one crying in the wilderness. Just as
soon, however, as 1t became known that he had
a club out for Nick Brown, every one had a
desire to hear what Meisner had to say.
Il am satisfied. Mr.. Chairman" said he that
the character of this man Brown is such that
the Citizens Union has no business keeping him
on the ticket"
This started turmoil about points OF order
and previous motions, and it some minutes
before Meisner got another chance. When he
reached the platform he read a translation
from article in German, which recounted the
political history of Brown, charging him with
being the friend OF Diver when Diver went
10 California few years ago, pending the trial
Of ballot box suffers.
II admit, gentlemen said Meisner with re-
freshing candor that ! have a candidate and
his name is DR.. Alfred II. Riedel."
Mr.. Meisner's owning up" in this fashion
caused lot of laughter and applause The
success Of Meisners onslaught prompted the
frneds of Timothy Healy. William Huber and
Thomas Fitzpatrick to present their names for
coroner Things were getting badly tangled
when r.. Fulton Cutting moved the adoption OF
the conference committees report, with the ex-
ception of the name of Mr.. Brown, and the re-
submission OF his name TO the original commit
tee. II think said Mr.. Cutting that the
charges against Mr.. Brown are worthy of or
consideration"
