There was much lubilation yesterday at
Republican headquarters in the Temple Bar
Building in Brooklyn over he action Of
the district committee and election district
captains in the Fifth Assembly district on
Friday night in unanimously unfolding
the stand of ex-Lieut. Gov. Timothy l..
Woodruff as the leader OF the county or,
Ranization, in spite Of the efforts Of ex-
Naval Officer Robert A. Sharkey, the execu-
tive committeeman in the district, to place
1t in the camp Of Field Marshal Mike Dady,
now in revolt against Mr.. Woodruff's regime.
First Deputy Collector of the Port William
c. Cloyes headed a delegation from the
district, which called ON Mr.. Woodruff to
assure him of It's loyalty to'the organiza-
ton. Mr.. Cloyes said:
MIR. Woodruff, the Republicans Of the
Fifth Assembly district have instructed
this committee to pledge to you the loyalty
;of the district as the leader of the .Republi-
can organization OF this county. We wish
to pledge the delegates from our district
to the State convention to an unconditional
support Of yourself and the Kings county
organization in everything that il does.
We wish further to pledge our district to a
complete and perpetual loyalty 10 your
leadership 10 this county. L know that
Mr.. Sharkey agrees with and indorses
everything that | have said"
! AFR. Cloyes and the other+mepbers OF the
delegation Genied that they had1boen forced

holders.
Mr.. Woodruff, after expressing his salts
faction at the action of the Fifth Assembly
district Rep ublicans, mad this address,
c~onsigning Col. Dady to political oblivion:
Il wish to say that Mr., Dady, by COM
hitting an act OF open hostility to the or
ganization in establishing opposition head
quarters and by attempting to undermine
and disrupt the organization, has put him
self down.. now and forever. as. outside the
Republican Organization Of Kings county.
1T is too late to fight Dany in the First
Assembly district at the coming primaries,
but Mr.. Dady has forfeited his leadership Of
the district and it will be taken from him
next year. / make this statement after a
good deal of thought and consultation.
The step l take in declaring Mr.. Dady out
OF the organization IL the only thing That
| can do as the recognized leader Of the
organization. 1t IL not my opinion. alone,
but that of the great majority Of the dis
trict leaders, that Mr.. Dady has left no
other course open to us"
Later Mr.. Woodruff predicted that the
only district against him at the primaries
would be the First, Col. Dady's own baili-
wick. Mr.. Woodruff said that the impress
sion that he was committed to h candidacy
of Gov. Higgins or any other man was
utterly false. Il am as free he said, ito
support Mr.. Hughes as Gov. Higgins. l
am as free to support Mr.. Fish or Mr.. Brack-
cit or Mr.. Stevens or Mr.. ChOate az any
one else il to support either one"
Col. Dady was evidently disappointed
over the setback received by his friend
Sharkey in the Fifth, district, but accounted
for it by the interference OF the Federal
.~oficeholders. @
u "The entire force OF the Federal Govern
ment," he said. has been brought TO ear
upon this local fight. l recognize Mr..
Woodruff as the present leader Of the Re-
publican organization OF Kings county,
but after the primaries he will no longer
be leader"
Col. Dady declares that he has no inten-
ton to make u bid for the leadership him.
self, nor would he indicate his choice for
the job. The suggestion that he had former
sheriff William J. Buttling in training az
to Mr.. Woodruff he pronounced
ridiculous. Friends OF Mr.. Buttling say
that the ex-Sheriff has no intention what
