Assembly district conventions for the
selection Of delegates to the Saratoga
convention were held by the Republicans
last night In this county. The Parsons
people, who were victorious at the pri-
maries. had things their own way at the
conventions in most OF the districts. or
the ISs delegates from this county l27 were
named by the Parsons side. -oe
In the First Assembly district. where
Francis Orlando beat Mike Hines. the
Odell leader at the primaries, the "
ton last night passed resolutions instruct
ing the four delegates to the State con-
vention to follow the wishes OF Herbert
Parsons. They also passed resolutions
iado-S.aE President Roosevelt end Gov.
Higgins.
There we're two conventions held in the
Fourth district. As a result a oontesting
delegation will be sent to the State
ton, which will bring the contest in the
district before the committee on
The Parsons men did no attend the con-
v~ention, which was held at 404 Grand street,
the headquarters of Jacob Newsstand, the
Odell leader, who on the face Of the returns
won out at the primaries. Instead, they
gathered at the headquarters OF Philip
Rosenthal, the Parsons candidate, at ?
wilett street, and elected these delegates:
Philip Rosenthal, John Stiebling, Nor
beth Pfeffer and Max Qaf.
The Parsons men said that this delega-
ton would 90 to Saratoga. and that when
the matter came up before the committee
OF credentials evidence OF frauds at the
primaries would be shown which would be
sufficient to unseat the Newstead delegates.
There was a faint echo OF the recent
ight in the Twenty-ninth at the conven-
iton last night. +. De Witt Wells, who beat
Frank Hendrick for the leadership. made
a speech in which he declared he was for
Parsons first, last and all the time. He said
that Odell was no more and hat therefore
all differences should be buried. Despite
this plea for harmony Julius Goldberg, a
delegate, nominated ar opposing ticket
headed by Mr. Hendrick. After some
argument as to how the vote should be taken
on the two tickets in order TO conform to
the law Mr.. Hendrick got up and asked
Goldberg to withdraw the opposition ticket,
which was finally done.
The warmest time was at the con ~vention
held ut 8S6 Ninth avenue, in the Thlrteenth
district, where James j. Hahn, the Odell
man, asserts that he beat j. j. Farrell, the
Parsons man, by 100 votes at the primaries.
Hahn called the convention at the old
headquarters Of Charles B. Page, the former
leader, whose resignation p~recipitated the
fight in the district. On account OF the
fear that there would be trouble a squad
of police were sent down to preserve orderp
but they didn't altogether succeed.
According to the Hahn men, they elected
at the primaries 20 delegates, to 80 for the
other side. lain said that his election
had been recognized by Herbert Parsons,
and that Parsons had delegated him to call
the convention. At the start the Hahn
men were in the majority, and a man named
Shannon was selected by Hahn to call the
convention to order. Then John Foster,
a Hahn man, was elected temporary chair
man and a man named Hedge as tempo
rary secretary. The Farrell side had been
getting recruits, and just at this point there
were cries of Put n out!"
This started a big row. According TO the
Hahn men, shannon was carried out bodily
and thrown downstairs. The Farrell men
seemed TO have everything their own a
then, and, according to the Hahn side, no
Hahn man was allowed to talk.
Things got up to such a pitch finally
down his gavel and walked out, after call
ing on John W. Noble, a Farrell man, to
take the chair.
Tester was followed by all Of the Hahn
men in a body. with the exception Of

ing to Hedges story, when he tried to leave
the Farrell men jumped on the platform
and held him. in his chair, declaring that
he would be killed II he quit his job.
After the Hah men left, the Farrell men
had things all their own way and elected
five delegates, whom they declared were
regular. Then, according TO Hedge, they
forced him to sign the credentials of thsse
delegates as secretary.
The Hahn men went over TO Hahn's head
quarters, at los West Sixtieth street, where
they held a convention at which Hahn said
there were 40 delegates present. a ma
jority of those entitled TO vote for the dele
CATION TO the State convention These are
the delegates elected by the Hahn men:
John }. Hahn, George Fentrick, Gilchrist
Stewart, Samuel Kerr and Lemuel K. Quigg.
The placing of Quigg on the ticket is evl-
IDENTIFY an attempt to get Quigg seated as a
delegate in the State convention, although
ne does not belong in Hahn's district.
The Hahn men said that they would
make the hottest kind Of a fight at Sara
toga and would prove that Hahn had car

were clearly entitled to be slated.
