M'CARREN FORCES THE ISSUE
DEMANDS MEETING OF KINGS
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

VIII Can for Vote on Question Of Support.
ing tho City T1cket-McClellan Knows
Of No Arrangement for . Center.
enco Between Him and Mclaughlin.
The clash between Mclaughlin and Sena-
tor McCarren ON the policy Of indorsing
Grout and Fornes a. well a. Mcclellan
continued yesterday to be tho most interest
ing political topic in the big sister borough.
McCarren and his followers have deter
mined that the only proper course to pursue
is to have a special meeting Of the county
committee and resolution formally de-
filming the policy 10 be pursued by the Or
ganization adopted
In accordance with tho bylaws Of the
county committee, request was at once
drawn up and quickly signed by more than
twice the necessary members. asking Chair
man cambridge to call special meeting on
Friday night for the transaction Of bust
ness Of interest to the organization. Whether
Mr. cambridge will summon tho meeting
for the date named will not be decided until
to-day. McCarren and his friends are
confident that q safe majority Of the $40
members of that body will vote to sup
port the entlre CITY tlcRet.
The sentiment in favor OF McCarren's
policy seems to be growing steadily each
day and it is clear that the Willoughby
Street managers are alarmed over the situa-
ton and will try to stave of the trial Of
strength in the county committee by COM
promise. Mr.. Mclaughlin. however. and
his three still faithful lieutenants, Shevlin
Shea and York, protested that they were
still resolutely opposed to the Endorsement
of Grout and Fornes and that there would
be no retreat from the stand taken by the
Kings county delegation at the city con-
vention.
Close observers OF the family contro-
versy in the Democratic fold In Brooklyn
believe that some sort Of settlement will
be reached either to-day or tomorrow,
so that the meeting OF the county COM
mittee may be called of. There were per-
sistent rumors yesterday that a vast ma
iority of the district leaders had advised
Mclaughlin to recede from his position in
the interests OF the party and that plan
had been arranged by which he could take
this step without impairing his leadership
IL was said also that an early meeting be-
tween Col. Mcclellan and Mr.. Mclaughlin
had been arranged and that there was not
any doubt that when the candidate
for Mayor and the veteran statesman got
their heads together satisfactory under
standing would be reached and the sQuabble
In the organization eliminated.
Col. Mcclellan said last night, however.
that he had not seen Mr.. Mclaughlin or
any representative OF Mr.. Mclaughlin.
that he had no appointment with Mr..
Mclaughlin or any representative OF Mr..
Mclaughlin.
Earlier in the evening Col. Mcclellan
listened with some interest to an account
OF how James Shevlin and John l.. Shea
had set out for New York. presumably to
call on him.
