The City Committee ignored the order and
Old not meet until Friday evening.
FINALLY. the minority members of The
CITY committee filed charges against the
majority, asserting that they had entered
Into a conspiracy with political opponents
10 carry the primary by fraud In their own
personal interests.
The charges related that the Republicans
had no representative committee, and asked
for the appointment of one.
Charges Found to BE True.
Last Friday the Executive Committee
found these charges to be true in every par
tcular. Members of the majority appeared
with their attorneys and denied the juris-
diction Of the State Com mittee. They left
the room rather than admit that the State
Committee had anything to do with the
settlement of the roubles
Friday evening a committee Of three was
appointed to ask again the City Committee
to give equal representation Of judges and
clerks. The Kerens crowd replied that they
would give all candidates representation
as far as practicable" meaning that the
agreement with Mertwether would be car
ried out as arranged.
Yesterday morning Chris Schumacher. one
Of the kerens element, told the State Com
mittee that the game was plugged against
him, and that he did not propose to sit with
the organization. He left the room. Theo-
dore Kalbfell, chairman OF the City Conn
mittee and G, member of the State Commit
tee, did the same thing.
This is the sort of thing with which the
reform element has compromised and given
until twenty-three hours before the hour OF
closing the books for the fling OF judges
and clerks to grant a fair primary.
There was not q dull minute In the pro-
