1.-THE Kings County Democratic Party
Will Continue Its Headquarters.

The klnkB county DcmOcrauc Party
VIII Continue Its Headquarters.
The Independence League headquarters
at 800 Fulton street, Brooklyn, was vacated
yesterday, but the men who had been in
charge there during the campaign an
nounced that a new headquarters would
be opened later and that there was no in
tention that the league should give up
business or abandon the political field
They said the league would be very much
in evidence when the next campaign came
around.
The Kings County Democratic Party
which was organized in the closing stage Of
the campaign to take the place. as its pro-
moters proclaimed, OF the old ~oryaniza-
ton of which Senator McCarren is the
lead and which formally read the latter
out OF the party has decided to continue
its headquarters and resume its fractional
fight for McCarren's overthrow. Chair
man John W. Delaney OF the Kings county
The Democratic party in Brooklyn
will never get together while Senator Me
Carren is leader. The result Of the election
shows that McCarren was unablet to control
more than from 5000 to 5000 votes. This
indicates the extent Of his strength. The
figures show that abo { 1900 Democrats
cut Hearst. IL was perfectly plain that
there were many Democrats who could not
vote for Hearst anyway, regardless Of
what the organization did They numbered
at least 5000 to 10000. and McCarren a
claim credit only for the cutting Of the
others
The Hearst managers in Brooklyn said
that il Senator Mct arren Continued in the
leadership Of the Democratic organization
until the next election the Independence
Leaguers would put up a full county ticket
of their own, 30 az TO insure the defeat OF
the Democratic candidates.

The Rapid Transit Commissions COM
mittee on plans'h held a public hearing yester-
day on the application which has been made
by +. b. Behr for a franchise to build a
monoraiT railroad between Brooklyn and
Coney Island. The herring wa attended
by a large delegation of business men and
property owners from the other side Of the
East River, all Of whom spoke in favor OF
the laying out of the routes asked for by
Mr.. Behr and his associates.
Mr.. Bchr explained to the committee
that the system he proposed would begin
NJ the ferry at the foot OF Atlantic avenue,
run out Atlantic avenue and to Coney
Isl nd by way, Of Rogers n Nostrand
avenues. He has planned another line
running out Third avenue by way of Fort
Hamilton. the two making a loop. 40 that
passengers could go out to Coney Island
one way and back the other.
, Tho Behr monorail H. a high speed, ele-
waited, electric railroad. The cars run
uron a single rail, having the wheels
IN the centre OF the cars and straddling
the rail a. a saddle sits on a horse. The
rail ~ elevated about six feet above the
ground. or the structure on which the
roadbed rests, and the sides OF the cars
extend below the rail. This brings the
centre OF gravity below the rail 80 that
there il no danger Of the cur upsettinG.
Mr.. Behr promised 10 m lintain an aver

FINGY CONNERS MISTAKEN.
All Independence Votes In warren County
Were Counted for Hearst.

absolutely no truth in the statement made
by Chairman Corners Of the Democratic
State committee that Independence League
votes in Warren county and vicinity have
not peer counted for Hearst. The fact
is that the independence League men.
mostly Democrats anyway, voted the
Democratic ticket. This fact accounts for
the surprise in the Hearst camp over the
small Independence League vote in the
upstate counties. There were not enough
votes on this ticket up this way to pay for
counting. A very large majority OF the
mill men voted the Republican ticket, as
they nave lone in recent years.

REPUBLICAN SLUMP TO HEARST.
Chairman Jacob Brenner's Reflections on
the Ur OOldyn Vote.

A careful analysis Of the election figures
in Brooklyn indicates to the satisfaction Of
the political experts that between :O,OO0
and 5000 Republicans voted for te arst,
the party detection being clearly marked
in the Republican strongholds.
Chairman Jacob Bremen OF the Repub-
lican executive committee and a veteran
campaigner made these reflections yester-
day on the result Of the vote on Tuesday:
AThere il no Use in blinking the facts.
Mr.. Hughes owes his victory to Demo-
cratic votes. The Republican party every
where in the State, but notably here in
Brooklyn, did not stand by the candidate.
We shall have to begin all over again and
bui Id up a county organization which can
be depended upon. A Republican organi-
zation which has to be saved by the. votes
of Democrats il not an unqualified SUCCESS"
Senator McCarren estimates that prob
ably fully 5000 Republicans voted for
Hearst. and be Ia of the opinion that his
stand and that Of the organization in re-
pudiating Hearst alone saved Hughes from
being defeated.

CROKER CRETICISES MURPHY.
says He would Have Preferred Losing
Local Ticket to Accepting Hearst.

Special Cable Despatch 10 TUE SUN.
LONDON. Nov. ga representative OF the
Dublin Freemdn'sJ Journal interviewed Rich
ard Croker at his residence, Glenoairn,
Sandyford. last night upon the New York
election. Mr.. Croker recalled What hap
rened in the three cornered fight that
resulted in the election Of Mayor Mcclellan,
when Hearst was beaten by $500 votes.
If said Croker, Hearst in the contest
for the ~Governorship had held his own
vote and at the same time had received he
full vote Of Tammany he would have been
elected by a majority OF 10000.
The fact that he has been defeated
shows that there has been a falling Cd by
his own side or that he has pot been fully
supported by Tammany, or that he has re-
ceived only partial support from both organ
i%zations."
In "A former interview Mr.. Croker eI-
pressed himself in terms Of strong con-
demnation Of the action of Tammany Hall
in supporting Hearst. Tammany did It, he
said in last nights interview in order to save
its local ticket. Sacrificing principles In
order to elect his own ticket. Murphy had
pooled issues with Hearst. Mr.. Croker
vent on to say:
And if he hadn't adopted Hearst he would
have lost that ticket. No doubt he would,
because the Independence League, Hearst's
organization, had become stronger than the
Tammany organization"
Mr.. Croker said that the adoption OF
Hearst by Tammany was laying aside their
own principles in order to win their local
ticket. IL was the first time Tammany
had ever been forced to do a thing of that
kind.
Il would rather be defeated" added
Mr.. Croker, than get elected by a depart
ure from principle"
Hearst had promised the workin gmen
things which, in Cookers opinion, were i'm
possible.
Hearst had shown wond erful strength,
said Mr.. Croker. under circumstances which
made him a factor in the Presidential
election either as a candidate himself or
as affecting the chances Of the candidate
on whose side he might throw his forces,
He had shown that he had a great following
among the working classes.
LONDON, Nov. s.-The Pail Mall Gazette
says that President Roosevelt stands
before Americans to-day as the man who
averted, for the time being. the tempest
of anarchy. They may well ask them
selves whether the respite car be made
more thar temporary, unless Roosevelt
remains the champion of social stability
and orderly reform ation
The Globe declares that the fact that a
man Of Hearst's character could. even for
a moment, be supposed to Possess the
smallest chance Of winning shows how
grave is the situation in the United States.
There must be more ignorance in the
premier State of New York than is generally
supposed when a man Of his principles
can pose as a champion of purity.

RECEIVER FOR INSURANCE co
The North German Swamped by Its Losses

ALBANY, Nov. s.-State Senator n. A.
Elsberg Of New York city was appointed
by Supreme Court Justice Fits to-day as
receiver of the North German Fire lnsur-
ance Company Of New York on the spplica-
ton of Deputy Attorney General Graham.
The ~company's capital of $500 900 Yves i'm
paired probably 20 the mount o. over
500 600 by its losses in the San Francisco
fire. The COMPANY had losses there OF
more than $500 100, which IL has disciaimed
and the greater part of which are In hgi-
CATION.
A director of the North German Fire In
surance Company said last night that the
trouble arose through the refusal OF the
companies with which the North German
had put out reinsurance to make good on
the San Francisco losses. The Department
Of Insurance notified the stockholders In
October that the claims would have to be
settled, but they were helpless and allowed
the case to be reported to the Attorney
General. The company has been in ex-
istence for six years and was organized
OF Chicago, with an Office at ? Murray street.

nephew. Leo, h was secretary and man

Charles F. Murphy was at Tammany
Hall yesterday for the first time since cleo
ton night. He was told Of the reported
opinion of Mr.. Hearst that his defeat was
due to the knitting he received by orders from
Tammany Hall.
-Tammany did all that was possible to
elect the head Of the ticket Mr.. Murphy
said, and l am sorry that he was not elected,
but il was not the fault of the Tammany
organization. l am really sorry that he
was beaten, but We did our best down here
for him.
How do you account for the fact that he
ran so far behind his ticket" it was asked.
Il can't account for it. All / can say il
that we did everything we could to elect
