M'CARREN HAILED AS LEADER
READS M'LAEGHLIN OUT OF
DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
Men Who Advise Voters 10 Split the Ticket
Should Not De Considered Democrats
Makes No Negative Sign When VIM
ters's Club Calls Him Leader.

Senator Patrick H. McCarren Of Kings
county last night read Leader Hugh Nc
Iaughlin out Of the Democratic leadership
of that county for not supporting the
Tammany Mcclellan rout-Fornes ticket.
That is. he declared in a speech that he
ought to be considered as out OF the Demo-
cratic party.
Meanwhile, unlike Cesar, he did not put
aside the crown Of leadership that crowd
Of Williamsburg Democrats offered to him
by their shouts.
Senator McCarren's speech was made in
the clubhouse of the Twentieth Assembly
district Democrats at Gates and Bushwick
avenues This is Dennis Winters's dis
trict, and Winters was one Of the first OF the
Kings Democratic leaders to stand for
Shea and York.
The clubroom in which the meeting was
held was filed with 800 or 100 men, who
thought the same as their leader-or who
said SO. They shouted il. When McCarren
came in everybody got up and shouted.
Here comes our new leader" was one
of the shouts. McCarren didn't shake
his head Then the band played Hail to
the Chief" and McCarren looked pleased.
Senator McCarren began his speech by
telling Of Winters's loyalty, as he termed it,
Speaking Of the attitude of those Brooklyn
Democrats who after taking part in the
convention that took in Grout and Fornes
left the hall to take a position against those
nominees he said:
Il am grieved and sorry to behold a spec
tacle of Democratic leaders leaving their
own party at this time. The fact that they
took part in the city convention. remaining
In their seats during its entirety. bound
them to obey the mandates Of that con-
vention.
Now we have the spectacle Of leaders
refusing to abide by the decision Of that
convention, and we can consider them in
no other light than that they have left
the party-possibly for the time being
only.
I'VE who remain must be said to be tho
representatives Of our party in this county.
Leaders who would lead their party
into the Republican or fusion camp should
not be tolera ted for one moment.
ANY leader who would advise voters to
cut the ticket and vote part under the star
and part under the eagle must be con-
sidered out Of the party"
Senator McCarren reminded his hearers
that the Kings county Democrats got q
Brooklyn man, Van Wyck, for the candi-
date for Governor four years ago, Shepard
for Mayor two years ago and Coler for
Governor a year ago, Tammany. he said
offered no protest to the naming OF these
men and stood Loyalty by them.
The only objection to Mcclellan, the
Senator said, was that he was too loyal q
Democrat and too friendly with the leader
OF Tammany Hall. There was no protest
against his ability.
THAT he is too loyal Democrat is q
point in his favor" said Senator MoCarren
Nobody can say that Mcclellan Is holding
himself up as the son Of his father. He is
standing on his own record,
For the Democrats Of Kings county
there is nothing to do but to take up the
ticket in its entirety.
AThe leader ard leaders who refuse to
do 1t can be considered in no other light
than that of having abandoned their
party"
When the speaker finished tho crowd
Yelled sour new leaderl Our new leader!"
The Senator hurried from the hall.
