FOR BROOKLYN FUSION.
Republicans Move to Confer 7oith
Other Organizations.

After considerable discussion as to the advisa-
bility of inviting the various Independent or
CARNATIONS to join with the Republican organ
izatiOn in making up a county and borough
ticket this fall, at meeting OF the Kings
County Republican Executive Committee yester-
day afternoon, it was decided to appoint COM
mittee with power to confer the subject with
other organizations. Ex-Lieutenant Governor
Woodruff and Michael J. Dady. who have been
| out of town since the fusion conferences in
Manhattan began, were present, and will be at
| the conference to discuss a candidate for Mayor
this afternoon They say that they have no
candidate to suggest.
Plans for the campaign and candidates for the
county and borough ticket were discussed at the
meeting. which was held in the Jorillemon-st
headquarters, and lasted for two hours. There
was a strong sentiment that straight Repub-
! iican ticket should be named for the county and
! borough offices. but Michael J. Dady spoke Wig
orously in favor of bringing in all the indie
pendent organizations which showed any sin
| cerity in opposition to the Democratic ticket
! Without committing the organization to local
! fusion, resolution was passed for committee
! to treat with outside organizations on the sub
ject. The committee will consist of Mr.. Wood
ruff, Mr.. Dady and Jacob Bremen chairman Of
! the executive committee.
Among the organizations which will be ap-
| preached on the subject of fusion will be the
| German-American Municipal League, of which
Henry Weismann is the head; the German
American League, Of Brooklyn, controlled by
| Bella Tokaji: the Municipal Ownership League
! of which Coroner FIaherty is chairman, the
| Brooklyn Democracy, the organization OF eX-
| Senator Michael J. COffey, and the Antl-IaS
Trust Democratic League, which was organized
by Bingham 7. Wilson.
After the meeting Mr. Woodruff said that no
definite conclusion had been reached as 10 can
didates and that it would be impossible 10
settle the question until the fusion ARRANGE
ments had been completed. A majority OF the
leaders, however, are strongly in favor OF the
nomination of Richard Young for Borough
President. He has a reputation for 1ndepeh-
dence, although a member of the regular ne
publican organization, and his record as PARK
Commissioner under Mayor Low would prove a
great source of strength Some talk OF hdJoI

President developed yesterday he demon
strated his executive ability and popularity aS
