There were sharp and bitter contests
over the nomination in the Fourth and
Eighth districts. in the former between
John Doscher, Jr., and Eugene M. Travis,
and in the latter between Senator Marshall,
whose legislative career in the lower and
upper houses at Albany has extended
over nine years, and Charles Cooper.
1t has been asserted that Governor
Chairman Odell has interfered in both these
local squabbles in favor Of Travis and Mar
shall There has been a strong popular
sentiment in the Eighth district, which
comprises the Sixteenth, Seventeenth and
Eighteenth Assembly districts, and is
overwhelmingly Republican, against the re-
nomination of Marshall, and were it not
for the Odell backing he probably would
not have made a fight against Cooper,
who won out against him at the recent
primaries.
On Monday Marshall openly announced
that Odell wanted him returned to Albany,
with the result that on Tuesday State
Committeeman Swazey and other leading
Republicans Of the district called on Odell
and vigorously protested against such
action on his part. One OF these visitors
bluntly informed the Governor hairman
that neither the party managers nor the
rank and Ale wanted Marshall He went
even further by warning the Governor.
Chairman against provoking the Repub-
lican hosts in Kings county to further re-
sentiment than that already inspired by his
course at Saratoga To all these callers
Odell declared that he had no favorite
and all that he wanted was for them to nomi-
nate the best and strongest man. Yes
terday, however. he sent for the leaders
in the district and, it is understood, gave
them instructions to support Marshall
When this news reached Brooklyn there
was much indignation among the leaders
all over the borough.
The convention in the Eighth district
was held at the Atlantic Park Casino, in
Ralph avenue, and in addition to nearly
400 delegates and as many alternates
there were over / 900 interested spectators
