auction rooms and paid his respects to
Mr.. Mclaughlin.

President Mr.. Lttleton Is substantially
allied with Mclaughlin in his bolt and
steadfastly refuses to take back a single
syllable OF the abuse he hurled at Tam
many In the city convention and since.
Unless he recants, which he will never do,
he says, McCarren will not invite him 10
address any meeting held under the di-
rection Of the county campaign committee;
Mr. Littleton has been deluged with
kilograms and letters lauding his course
and urging him to stand firm.
Chairman Richard ". cambridge of the
Democratic county committee, from q
statement he made yesterday, has, ap-
parently, taken his stand with Mclaughlin
and Littleton This is part Of what he said
Recent developments here have driven
every independent voter away from the
Democratic party. The organization vote
does not elect. Low will have a larger
vote in Brooklyn than he had two years ago
The mistakes that have marked the cam
paign 20 far will drive away every indie
pendent vote from the Mcclellan and Circuit
ticket. II Senator McCarren believes that
ticket, I think he will realize his mistake
on election day"

day in the auction room and most Of his old
lieutenants and even some OF the delegates
OF the county committee who voted against
him. dropped in and assured the veteran
leader Of their continued personal esteem.

effort to defeat the Tammany ticket, Mr..
