Hugh Mclaughlin, the leader OF the
Democratic organization in Brooklyn, does
not approve Of the action Of the committee
of fifteen in recommending to the execu-
tive committee the Enforcement OF the
whole Democratic city ticket. He has not
budged an inch from his hostile attitude,
and yesterday morning he issued this
authorized interview
Mr.. Mclaughlin was asked whether tho
action of the special committee involved or
would necessitate any change in his own at
titude in the campaign Not In the least. y
WAS the answer. Continuing. he said: 1

which Tammany IL identified l see in the
present campaign that deeper than any politi-
cal issue lies the great moral issue OF de-
cency against crime. purity OF life against
Red Lignlism, honesty In public office gainst
graft IL would be impossible for me to give
any countenanCe 10 what Iammany Is and is
doing without being false TO the people OF
Brooklyn, false TO my own convictions and
douby false 10 the whole cause Of good gov
ernment."
Questioned further about the endeavor Of
the Tammany speakers to dtsavow respon.
siDllity for Devery. Mr.. Mclaughlin replied
that all such Efforts were vain. for II was
