his mysterious remarks. the Republican leaders

Committee. issued the following statement
yesterday:

The Republican leaders all angry at
Jerome. and the plain statement-was made last
night that, should a condition arise where Low
would not accept the nomination. they would
not support Jerome. The general opinion among
Jerome had strengthened and sodfed the
fusion forces and helped Low.

WIRTH And LAIMBEER.
Win in XVIIth and lid, Brooklyn
-KehOe an IYH.

There were only three primary fights worthy the
name in Brooklyn yesterday-in the XVIIth and
lid Assembly districts the Republican side and
the IXth District the Democratic side. In the
XVIIth District Alderman Wirth succeeded in re-
tanning his leadership in spite Of the strenuous
efforts Of Walter B. Atterbury to recover his old
laurels.
In the IIId District. where charges Of bribery
made gainst the opposition by the followers Of
VI. c. Hanton. the present executive member from
the district. the latter defeated by Fire Com
missioner Richard Laimbeer tr.
Charges Of ballot box stUfng IN the IXth District
were made by Senator James Henry McCabe. who
went into the fight for the leadership the orders
OF willoughby Street. 1t generally supposed
that he would win hands down, but. according TO
the returns late last night. Assemblyman James J.
Kehoe had won by 1.142 TO LOSS for McCabe and s5l
for John Hennessy. the present leader. Hugh Nc
Grath also ran.
In the XvIIth District Alderman wirth won by
q large majority polling 1917 votes to 1854 for At
terbury a majority OF 623 The Alderman carried
nineteen Of twenty-five election districts. The
result would seem to indicate that Atterburys in
fuence in politics had entirely passed away. Last
year the Republican organization. at the instance
OF ex-ILeutenant Governor Woodruff. went into
the district and helped Wrth down Atterbury. This
year the organization took no part in the fight.
In the lid District Laimbeer defeated Hanton
by lightweight votes the result being SIS TO 4SL
Hanton has been charging right along that Lain

DEVERY VICTORY EMPTY.


ratio Seymour Club headquarters. were doing
the same thing. They made no concealment OF
the fact that Dowlings canvass had been a
blind to beat Devery. Mr.. Goodwin MADE a
speech TO his followers. in which he told them
that the victor yof the opposition to Devery was
proof that the honest people in the district
were tired of Deveryism He said that the dis
trict had swung back to Tammany Hall. and
that Devery dead one"
THE LAST GOODWIN SMITH CIRCULAR.
The last circular sent out by the Goodwin
Smith men contained the following reference to
Alderman Dowlins's canvass;
Another striking example Of brazen assurance
is the self-styled candidacy for district leader

fort to convince some of our amused neighbors
that he is in earnest. This is the same individ-
uai that two years ago ran for alderman on the
Republican ticket and attacked and opposed the
regular Democratic candidates Seeming a
Tammany victory. he now asks us Democrats to

One OF the spectacular incidents of the day
was at 3 D. m. at a polling place near the
Pump, at Seventh-ave. and Twenty-eighth-st.
near Devery's home Devery rode up in a cab
after making the rounds of the polls with his
brother, a policeman, and found a suspicious
looking man trying to vote on the name of man
who had moved away. He rushed the fellow
out and pushed him across the walk with such
force that the interloper went clear off the
sidewalk and fell over bicycle. This was too
much for a loyal Goodwin man on the sidewalk
He struck Devery in the nose and ran away
down the avenue. Devery grabbed at the flee
ing man, and knocked his hat off Picking up
the hat, he tore il to pieces. The Deveryites

PARSONS BEATS BIRRELL.
HHliard, Slater and Shielding Fail
as District Leaders.

There were fights for Republican leadership
in several districts at the primaries yesterday.
Perhaps the hardest fight in the XXVth
District, where Alderman Herbert Parsons I'M
dertook 10 wrest the leadership from Deputy
County Clerk Henry BirrelI Parsons sup
ported by Dock Commissioner Hawkes. and Cor
nelius n. Bliss. Birrel was supported by George
r. Manchester. Assemblyman Weekes and 9TH
ers prominent in the district. The Birreu people
were exceptionally confident, but Parsons won
by an impressive majority. This taken as
rebuke TO the methods employed by Birrell in
wrestling the leadership of the district from
Hawkes.
Isaac Newman leader Of the XXIId District
defeated his old rival Abraham Jordan. New
man won a bet OF $500 from Jordan the
Twenty-hfth Election District. Jordan bet he
would carry this district which is his own. but
he fell short about seven votes.
The efforts of ex-senator S 6. Slater to de-
feat Samuel strasbourger for leader OF the
XXXIst District proved fruitless. Strasbourger
won by a vote of three TO one. The fight there
has been bitter. and determinations Of the most
drastic kind have been INDUCED in. Mr.. Stras-
bourger received the returns at the Central Re-
publican Club, and early in the evening IL was
seen that he elected. Slater admitted his
defeat and said he attributed it to a statement
that went out last week, to the effect that he
had allowed the Democrats in his own district
to get Offices that should have gone to Repub-
licans. which the Republican committee had al
lowed TO go undenied.
BY a vote Of nearly two to one, George Hill
lard, who for upward of twenty-five years has
been the Republican leader in the XVIth As
sembly District. was defeated by Samuel S.
Koenig, Hilliard receiving 1874 ballots TO his
opponents 81. Mr. billiard is the Deputy Elk
else Commissioner for this city, and is known
al a Platt Republican. One of the chief allega-
tions against Mr.. Hlliard that while he
has a lucrative position a reward for his
work as a district leader his home is at Centre
Islip. Long Island. 1t was also contended that
a Republican leader, Commissioner Hilliard
at times caused many of his friends TO enroll
with the Democrats, and assist Patrick Keenan,,
the Tammany leader in the district All of
these allegations have been emphatically denied
by Mr.. Hilliard and his friends Shortly after
o'clock last night Mr.. billiard was at
his headquarters.
