NO ACTION ON FUSION TICKET.

There WAS much talk over the proposition 10
indorsa the fusion administration at the meet
ing of the Kings County Republican Executive
Committee, held last night, but no dehnite coh-
clusion was reached. Some OF the members as
serted that il would be wise and proper TO place
the Republican organization on record as III
favor of fusion movement this fall and
denomination of the present municipal on1clals.
Others opposed it. on the ground that 1t was
too early to take any definite steps toward 'na'
end now.
Michael ]. Dady has. placed himself on record
as in favor of Mayor Lows denomination but
as opposed TO giving the Democrats any encour-
aSement by iudorsing Controller Grout.
'I understand Mr.. Grout is a. candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Mayor" he said
Yesterday, ''and doesn't want the fusion NOM
inatien for his present ONCE. II We indorse him
it would give him strength Democratic
candidate
Mr.. Dady is not member of the executive
committee but the same views were expressed
last night.
The Republican General Committee meets next
Tuesday night, and it is just possible that some
ane may present a resolution for the indorse-
ment Of the fusion administration, but it will not
have the Endorsement of the executive members
at this time.
REGARDING the recent reports that there was
dissension in the organization over an attempt
of certain people to succeed Timothy L. WOOD
riff as leader of the organization, the executive
committee passed a resolution as follows;
Resolved, That the executive commlttee Oh Oh
