dispute the supremacy Of P. H. Quinn and
James Kane, the respective leaders.
Judge John j. Walsh, the anti-McCarren
leader in the Second Assembly district. had
a virtual walkover. polling 2,04 votes to

has stood firmly with McCarren all through

latter not carrying single district.
In the Sixth district William r. Mcclure.
another enthusiastic McCarren supporter,
defeated Frank Ulrich by vote OF l,540
to 1852, Ulrich carrying only one election

When the returns from the Seventh
Assembly district were received by Senator
McCarren and his friends in the Kings
County Democratic Club, Senator McCarren
said he was surprised that Deputy Fire
Commissioner William A. Doyle had only
carried the district by about 200 majority.

Kenneth Sutherland OF Coney Island. Magis-
trate Voorhees, in Bath Beach and Justice
Ferguson in Fort Hamilton. These three
prominent Sesidents Of the Seventh A.

interest OF Senator McCs1 rem, and he gave
them credit for the big cut in the Doyle
majority OF year ago.

In the Eleventh district there was red.
hot fight between Thomas r. Farrell, az
the representative Of the old Willoughby
Street regime, and Thomas F. Byrnes. the
champion Of McCarren. Farrell has held
the district securely against McCarrer
since the latter assumed the leadership ol
