DADDY BACK FROM CUBA.
Not Pleased to Learn ~ His Old Friend
Beattie II with Timothy L. Woodruff.

NOT PIehec0 60 Learn That Hie Old FRIEND
Beattie 10 with Timothy L. woodruff.
Field Marshal Mike Dady returned from
Cuba yesterday and was met at the pier by
his political right bower, David Fl. Ralston,
who hastily communicated all the latest
political news regarding the Kings county
organization. It was not at all pleasing to
the field marshal TO learn that his old time
friend "Chief" William j. Beattie Of the
Second Assembly district had surrendered
to former L~ieutenant-G Governor Timothy L.
Woodruff. Mr.. Dady was also paine dSto
hear that on Monday night Mr.. Woodruff
had, visited the Fest New York section Of
the borough and, after telling Deputy Com
missioner Of Jurors Jacob A. Livingstone
election district captains why he was OPP
posed to Livingston because OF his triokery
In deeerting the Brooklyn organization and
siding with Chairman Oder, had captured
Livingston and his election district captains.
Then Field Marshal Dady began to think,
but not loud enough for any one to UNDER
stand what was going on IN his mind. After
o visit to the BoeFd Of Elections, which he
rarely sees during the year. he hied himself
to Brooklyn and then to Bergen Beach.
where the First Assembly District Repub-
iican Club, of which he is the leader, was
having It's annual outing and talkfest. The
boys made much OF Dady and he In turn
made much Of them. -.
He declined to discuss politioe. but said
he was out in the harbor Of .Cienfuegos
engaged In supervising the dredging when
the party were flibusters. 1They came off
to U.s. said Field Marshal Dady, "and then
learned who we were and that 1t was all

no trouble In Cuba, as he had travelled
across the island by rail.
Mr.. Woodruff was at Republican head
quarters early yesterday and was in happy
mood. He was more than glad that h
Monday night. When asked what he had
to say about the meeting he said: Every
one Of the thirty-three election district
captains Of the T~wenty.second Assembly
district was present. They listened at
tion Of each side of the controversy, but
manifested at every stage OF the proceed
ings their confidence in Livingston as their
Assembly district leader, whose statement
was satisfactory to them that he had
changed his vote in the State committee
meeting because he was committed against
Gov. Odell's removal and had found that
his previous vote was tantamount to 1t.
IT became evident that Congressman
Law would be sacrificed, all chance OF elect
would be gone, that the Assembly district
would be hopelessly lost and a general dis
ruption Of the Republican forces in East
New York would result unless a way. was
found to avoid, II possible, the faotional
fight that was imminent.
Eloquent appeals we're made to me by
several Of the captains to avoid the contest,
and when q resolution was offered and car:
ried that a committee Of five. be appointed
to confer with me to see il a basis Of peace
could not be found, it received my hearty
approval. All present declared their loyalty
to the county organization as now con-
stituted, and during the meeting and after
ward Mr., Livingston put himself uneqnivo-
cally on record in that respect.
