WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.--Before he left
Washington for New York tonight Repre-
sentative William S. Cowherd, chairman
Of the Democratic Congress campaign
committee, told some of his advisers that
the main purpose OF his visit was to have
"a full. free and Anal" talk with William
F. Sheehan in regard to the chairman 3
status and the Congress committees work.
He said he was tired of the way things
were going and intended to demand money
and authority, particularly money.
II ia reported that Mr.. Cowherd declared
that II he was not permitted to run the
Congress campaign properly he would shut
up shop and let the National committee do
the work itself. Altogether, Mr.. Cowherd
Ia not pleased with the situation and has
made up his mind to effect change or step
down and out.
1t was Mr.. Sheehan who suggested
that the Congress committees headquar-

Supreme Court Justice Dickeyin Brooklyn
yesterday granted writ compelling the
Board of Elections to receive and count at
the Republican primaries in the Tenth and
Twelfth Assembly dltriots ballots printed
on different watenarked paper than
that ordered by the beard. The order
was issued because the supply Of the
regular paper ORDERED by the Board of
Elections had given out. Justice Dickey
held that man should not be disfran-
chsed simply because there were not suffl-
cient ballots to 60 around.
Justice Dickey yesterday ordered the
Board OF Elections TO place on the enroll
ment books the names of three men who
claimed they were Democrats and wanted
to vote at the primarie but who were de-
barred because OF clerical error in record
ing their names. 1he three men live in the
Tenth Assembly district. They are Thomas
Mclaughlin OF 81 North Oxford street.
Harry j. Wild Of lsi North Elliott place,
and Joseph Waldron Of l2s North Portland

man who might have been deprived OF his
vote owing to clerical errors. There we're
