Municipal O7cnersbip People Resent
Dummies appointment.

Bird 5. Coler elected to the Office of Borough
President in Brooklyn on the Municipal Ownership
ticket has come TO the parting OF the ways with
the organization which elected him. His desfgna-
ton of Desmond Dunno as Superintendent of Public
Works is resented by the municipal Ownership
people, as they say Dunno was not with them in the
fight.
An indication OF the strained relations existing
between CoIer and the organization was manifest
yesterday at a meeting of the executive committee
at the GIIsey House Coler chairman of a
committee on organization. This committee made
a report was thanked and dismissed. and Mr.
Hearst was authorized to appoint a committee

direct slap at Coler.

ODELL FOR FAIR FIELD.
U7iU Not Take Hand Noe in Speak-
ership Contest.

Ex-Governor Odell chairman of the Republican
State Committee at headquarters yesterday a
part Of the day. He and talked with many Of
the i gslative leaders, and gossip rife to the
Speakership contest. Timothy l. WoOdruff's re-
marks in favor OF Assemblyman Rogers. of Broome,
made that candidate prominent yesterday. Assem-
blyman Burnett of Ontario; Merritt, Of st, Law
renee; Cox. of Erie, and Wainwright, Of Westches-
ter were all around looking after their fences The
fight for the Speakershp seems be sort of a
good natured rivalry and. so far, bitterness has
developed.
Mr. OdeI non-committal on the situation His
friends say that the chairman does feel that the
time has come to take a hand He believes that
the members settle the matter among them
selves and that "a fair field and no favor should
be the order. It IS probable that the New-York
County members will give Agnew a complimentary
vote and then swing to Wainwright.

1T was the same old yarn OF a stranger
giving liquor away freely, which has been
worked successfully so many times, but
in Laduke's case the features OF the story

he met n man at the American House and
