ATLANTIC CITY, Dec. 9.-The APP
pointment by Governor Stokes of Sena-
tor Lee means, 1t is said here. a fierce
fight for the control of the Republican
city and county machines. Leaders of
the Kuehnle faction. which is making
a desperate effort to maintain it's grip
upon the city organization. refused to
credit early rumor that Senator Lee
had won out against his powerful rival
until private dispatches confirmed the
reports n aroused Indignation to
fever heat.
Lee will proceed to establish a new
county machine in conjunction with
the city organization headed by Presi-
lent of City Council Harry Leeds, and
his friends are confident that one as
sured result of the political revolution
will be the election of a reform Mayor
when Mayor Stoy's term expires next
fall. Lee is an implacable enemy of
the gambling ring which controlled the
October Grand Jury. and the bitter
fight waged against him by the gam
bling syndicate was one of the things
that strengthened him with the Cover
nor in the clerkship fight.
