bcatcn In f1Bnt Tor LOST Leadership
Tie scheme Of the Odell-Q uigg CON-
bination in its efforts to strengthen its grip
on the State machine by obtaining control
over the Brooklyn organization through
an alliance with Field Marshal Mike Dady
was foiled yesterday by the enrolled voters
at the primaries The result was a bad
black eye for Col. Dady and a strong in
dorsement of former Lieut. Gov. Timothy
L. Woodruff as leader.
In ~castigating Dady the Republicans Of
Kings county have materially contributed
to the retirement Of Odell from further
participation in the party councils in the
State. From the start Of the factional
hoetilities Dady has openly proclaimed
him self an Odell man and predicted that
he would lead a majority Of the delegates
to the State convention and put Mr.. Wood
ruff on the long list Of retired Brooklyn
statesmen.
The primaries afforded the raj nix and file
Of the enrolled Republicans a long wished
for chance TO get a whack simultaneously,
both at Odell and Dady. and the blow was
remorselessly administered The Field
Marshal brought all his heavy artillery
to play in the Third. Seventh. Eighth,
Ninth and Thirteenth districts. and al
though there we're skirmishes in some OF
the other districts. the hard fighting was
confined to the FIVE named.
In each OF these districts. with the eX-
ception Of the Eighth and Ninth, Dady
started of with a strong lead, owing TO
the fact that Michael J. Wheeler, Charles
S. Dewey and Philip T. Williams, his repre-
,onN,t.yo. IN cha Third GaNy an fh and Thir-
tenth districts respectively had each
been materially strengthened by the re-
a"pportionment plans, which were formu-
lated by Mr.. Woodruff months ago, when
there was no expectation that Col. Dadv
was going to start a revolt
While his friend put up a strong fight
yet Mr.. Woodruff, from the first, did not
think that he would be able to win out in
the Third, Seventh or Thirteent h, and he
had placed there three districts in the COL
umn with the Field Marshal.
The result, however. means that Mr..
Woodruff will have an overwhelming ma
iority, both at the State convention and in
the Kings county Republican general COM
mittee. At the State convention he will
be in command Of III delegates out OF the
1873 from Kings county. Mr.. Woodruff
was pleased when he learned the result OF
the primaries, and he said that Col. Dady's
boast that he would be able TO control twelve
out of the twenty-three Assembly districts
In the Third district Michael j. Wheeler
won out over Percy A. Baker bv PAT ma
iority in a total vote Of l,I0l, the vote
being Wheeler, 754 and Baker, 457. In this
district Richard Laimbeer. a cousin OF State
chairman Odell. leads, and he not only gave
his services but spent his money in order &c
defeat Mr.. Woodruff's. candidate, Baker.
In the Seventh district Chief Clerk Charles
s.. Dewey Of the County Court defeated
William Ca1mus by 257. The vote a
Dewey, 92s; Cadmus, 67l. While Dewey
wins out it does not follow. he said. that
his delegates to the State convention would
be cast against Mr.. Woodruff II this
il the fact then Col. Dady will not control
the twenty-one delegates.
Field Marshal Dady put up n great fight
to dethrone Jacob Bremen "a the leader
in the Eighth Assembly district. He spent
his money, or rather the money he had,
in every election district and would have
been more than pleased if he had defeated
Mr.. Bremen, who is cha rman Of the Repub-
lican executive committee. As II was
Bremen won out over Dady's candidate
~ about 4Cn.
Shipping Commissioner Harry A. Han
bury, who took up the Cudgels in behalf Of
Odell and Dady in the Ninth district, was
defeated by James p. Connell by more than
ESQ. This is a worse defeat thar ne suffered
last year. Former Coroner Philip T.
Williams, Dady'G candidate in the Thir-
teenth, defeated Robert A. johnson by a
vote Of 100 TO GIL. johnson made a phenom-
email race IA il was. considering the handi-
cap ne had from the start.
In the Fifteenth district Richard Wright,
Woodrun's candidate, won out over f.. ".
Lakewood by a VIC q Of 6SS to S44.
In the Seventeenth district, where Walter
B.. Atterbury made his fight to regain his
lost leadership, State Committeeman Lewis
NJ. Swasey ran away from him with nc
difficulty. Swasey won out by n vote of
lao TO 40. In Atterbury's own election
district he mustered only twenty-five
votes, while Swssey got seventy-five.
The next Republican county committee
will consist of 2lO delegates and Mr.. Wood
ruh's majority will he overwhelming.
The new executive committed will be
