NO HARMONY IN SIGHT YET.
M'CARREN STILL WORKING FOR
WHOLE CITY TICKET.

Said That County Committee Thought
Mclaughlin Would lnliOrse GrOut
II His Leadership We're Sustained
The Harmony Fifteen Are Appointed.
Wishing you health and strength for
a long continuance of your leadership, "
was the inscription on n card attached to
the bunch of chrysanthemums received
from one Of his admirers by Hugh McI.augh-
lin at the Willoughby street auction room
in Brooklyn yesterday. The floral tribute
stood all day on the desk OF the aged leader.
Most of the delegates who had supported him
on Monday night at the meeting of the county
committee in his memorable fight with Sem
ator p. II. McCarren called with congratu-
lations.
Chairman X. W. cambridge Of the county
committee. after a conference with Mr..
Mclaughlin, appointed this committee OF
fifteen ito report with the least possible
delay to the executive committee its recon-
mendation as to the hes, means of immedi-
ately bringing about harmony of action
on the part OF the organization and in the
respective Assembly districts: John l..
Shea, William A. Doyle, William q. Noonan,
P. H. Quinn, John j. Walsh, James kehoe
Thomas X. Farrell, Matthew f.. Dooley
Bernard j. York, Francis CIeamer, John
NJ. Gray, James Sinnott, Louis l.. Happ, DR..
John Sherlock Davis and Henry Hesterberg
With the exception of Mr.. Davis, who
used TO be Shepardite and who voted for
the McCarren resolution on Monday night,
all the members OF the committee are iron
clad supporters of the Willoughby Street
machine.
Senator McCarren did not repine yester-
day over his defeat, nor has he any intention
of lying down or budging an inch from
the position he has held since the city con-
vention was held He said:
Last nights events have not changed my
determination to work for the entire city and
county ticket ms nominated in regular con
ventions, have assurances from my friends
and neighbors in the Fourteenth district ana
meets their approval and that they intend
TO bolt no Democratic candidate for Office.
That is my position; too am Tor every man
vention.
Pending the result of the deliberations
of the committee of fifteen and the sub
sequent action of the executive commit
tee, the Democratic campaign Will remain
at a standstill so far as the Wllloughby
Street managers are concerned, and there
ia no expectation that any activity Will be
injected into the canvass until next week.
Senator McCarren and his followers, how
ever, will work earnestly for the whole
ticket in each Assembly district, whether
they control it or not, and in day or SO
probably will open Mcclellan, Grout and
Fornes headquarters in central part OF
the borough
1t was said Yesterday that Mclaughlin
would very likely have been beaten out in
the county committee had not many Of
the delegates been assured ahead that he
would withdraw his opposition to Circuit
and Fornes as soon as the committee had
sustained his leadership. The plan, 80 it
was reported yesterday, was to refer the
whole matter of the Endorsement OF Circuit
and Fornes to the Assembly district COM
mttees, with secret instructions from the
auction room to have them all get into line
for the whole ticket
Many delegates, it is said, had been won
over to the Mclaughlin side by these tao
tics who otherwise would have voted with
majority Of seven for the substitute. Even
close friend Of Mclaughlin said last
night that in his opinion the committee OF
fifteen would recommend that each dis
trict have full freedom as to what action
should be taken in reference to Circuit and
Fornes, the organization as a whole re-
naming neutral. McCarren and all the
other champions for regularity, who. IT is
commended. are really in an overwhelming
majority, despite the attitude OF Mclaugh-
lin, Shevlin, Shea and York, will be salts
fed with nothing short of complete sur
render on the part OF Wiloughby Street
There can be no real harmony, according
to their view of the situation, unless the
campaign banner in front of the Thomas
| jefferson Building is hauled down and
another wit h the names OF Circuit and Fornes
as we'll as those Of other nominees is put
| In it's place. They will demand also that
Grout and Fornes be invited to all the big
| ratification meetings.
Senator McCarren made tour Of several
OF the Assembly dist riots last night and
| spoke at four meetings He took the
same ground he took in the county COM
mittee, contending that the failure OF the
organization to support the whole city
ticket was disloyalty to the party ano
furnished aid to the fusion nominees.
Senator McCarren was enthusiastica
received at all Of the meetings and his plea
for regularity heartily approved He tolC
| his audiences that the campaign for McClel.
Ian, Grout and Fornes would be pushed
| forward with the utmost vigor and tina,
| Autographs Of he candidates and a large
| quantity of camraign literature would be
| ready for dist rbution this morning AT the
new headquarters in The Phenix Building
| A member of the committee of fifteen
| said last night that no call had yet beer
issued for meeting Of that body and he
DISCUSS the harmony proposition He
said that, in his opinion, the election woulc
be on before the committee would he ready
to report or the executive committee tc
| take any ion and that each Assembly
district would be left TO decide for II sell
| as TO the Endorsement Of Circuit and Fornes
