EXPECTS THEIR SUPPORT or
LOCAL TICKETS.

10000 Majority A Clash 10 Predicted.
That there IL likely to be a bitter clash
between the regular Democracy Of Brook
Ign and the Independence League people
is the opinion Of most OF the Democratic
managers. Senator McCarren, the leader
Of the organization, will tolerate no inter-
ference on the part OF Hearst and the Gilsey
House people In the control Of It's AFFAIRS
and il the latter insist on putting local can
didates OF their own In the field In opposi-
ton to the regular Democratic tickets
there viii be savage retaliation against
Hearst and other State nominees. This Is
how one Of Senator McCarren's chief lieu
tenants described the situation:
III Hearst tries In any way to upset or
injure the local Democratic organization,
Hughes viii carry Brooklyn by 5000 ma
Senator McCsrren issued this statement
yesterday:
The delegates from the Democracy Of
Kings county attended the State oonVen-
ton OF the Democratic party In Buffalo
and took part In It's deliberations. The
Democracy. Of Kings county was unaltsr-
ably opposed to the nomination Of Mr.. Hearst
for Governor. The State convention nomi-
mated Mr.. Hearst and the men associated
with him. The Democracy Of Kings county
bows to the decision OF the convention and
accepts its candidates as the candidates Of
the Democratic party.
Tho Democracy Of Kings county will hold
It's local conventions to nominate local oandi-
dates for Judges, Congressman, State SEN
ators and Assemblymen on Monday. Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday OF next week.
The regularly elected delegates OF the Demo-
cratic party. chosen at the primaries. will
nominate the candidates for offices to be
filled. There will be no Interference from
outside In these conventions. The candidates
nominated by these several conventions In
the regular Democratic way win be the candi-
dates Of the Democracy Of Kings county.
In the same way that we have accepted
and will support the State ticket We expect
the State ticket and all other Democrats to
accept and support the candidates whom
we shall name.
That the clash IL imminent h clear from
this statement Of County Register Alfred J.
Boulton, who was elected on the Hearst
ticket last year and Is one Of Hearst's chief
advisers in Brooklyn:
There Is an overwhelming sentiment
among the members OF the Independence
J League OF this county for a straight local
ticket, q ticket whose candidates are in overy
particular Independence League representa-
tives. The sentiment at present Ia that
there should be no coalition with the Demo-
cratic organization OF this county.
Because Of the fact that the Democratic
convention nominated Mr.. Hearst and other
members OF the ticket nominated at the
Carnegie Hall convention OF the Independence
League. 1t should follow that the Democratic
organization Of Kings county should support
some Of the nominees OF the Independence
League on local tickets. Senator McCarpen,
however, has announced that q straight
Democratic ticket will be nominated at the
Democratic judiciary convention on Monday.
IL can only be assumed, therefore, that he
intends that straight Democratic tickets be
nominated in Assembly, Senatorial and Con-
gressional districts. His announcement can
only have the effect OF increasing the senti-
ment OF local Independence Leaguers for
straight tickets OF their own That senCi-
ment has been strengthened also by the
stand OF Senator McCarren and the Kings
county delegation at the Buffalo convention.
Since it looks at present that the Inde-
pendence League will place a complete local
ticket in the field, 1t must follow that II there
are any overtures to be made between the
two organizations they must come from the
Democratic organization. The Independence
League, Of course, invites Endorsement OF it's
candidates. but I do not believe that the
sentiment which prevails will allow IL 10
make a request for coalition with the Demo-
cratic organization.
The Democrats will lead OF tomorrow
in the work OF nominating the local candi-
dates, the Judiciary convention for the
naming Of eight candidates for the Supreme
Court in the Second district to be held at
noon in the County Court House. II SEN
ator McCarren does not meanwhile change
his purpose, and there IL no expectation
that he will do so, there will be no decker
with the Independence League crowd, nor
will they ave a single representative on
the ticket. The slate which seemed 70
stand most in favor yesterday contained
these eight names: Samuel Stuart White
house, Isaac M. KAPper Luke D. StaPleton,
B. Hurd, Jr, George B. Abbott and Col.
James D. Bell. The anne Of Soudder,
Hurd and Abbott are also on the ticket
made up by the Citizens COMMITTEES OF
One Hundred.
In ease the Hearstites decide 70 put no
an independent judiciary ticket open war
fare will be declared against the State
nominees and the customary call for q
meeting Of the county committee to in
dorse the Hction Of the State convention
will never be issued. Veteran Brooklyn
Democrats say they mo recall In the
history OF the organization such wide
spread disaffection in the party ranks as
there 10 over the nomination OF Hearst.
Of the Kings County Democratic Club. Of
which Comptroller Metz 10 president, makes
no secret Of their intention to support Mr..
Hughes. The same conditions prevail In
the stAlwRrt Democratic organizations all
over the borough. Out in the Eastern
District, for instance, there II q Democratic
club Of large proportions and great in
! hucnce which Is known by the name Of
its president, former Fire Commissioner
John Ennis, and has never. before Como
bach on the regular candidate for Gov
ernor. This is what Mr.. Ennis has 10 say
about the present situation:
Il believo the nomination OF Ho@rBt was
inoonsiStsnt and injudioous. II any reso-
luton 10 offered In the club this year indors-
ing tho candidacy OF HearstI win ave moth
inR 10 do withit.s Careful and conservative
political observers sre confident that the
normal Democratic majority OF from 1900
10 1900 in Kings county win be swept away
and a substantial majority recorded for
Mr.. Hughes.
