| cause they had been tn fusion nominees
having been dropped by the fusionsts
! when the Democrats Endorsed them Hugh
Mclaughlin declared that these men were
not Democrats and that he would not sup
port them The fight in their behalf was
made, however, by State Senator Patrick

of the Kings county committee was called
| to consider a resolution proposed by Nc
J Carren, declaring for the entire Democratic

Mclaughlin, the veteran leader of the
Kings Democrats, had approved the action
| of the committee of fifteen, but the fol-
| lowing day he made a long statement, in
which he declared his continued opposition
