man. and the East Side wireless tlpster, Louis
Zeltner. for Assembly man. The meetings were held
in six halls in as many sections of the East Side
and the officials said ten thousand men had at
tended.
When it was suggested that it might be late TO
organize a political party the executive COM

dressed them follows: "Brudders, We should pc

TEvENs-WADsWORTH FIGHT.
Warm Struggle To Be Settled at Tuesdays
Primaries
TBy Telegraph to TIE Tribune.l


Buffalo. Sept. 15.-Republicans of Genesee
and Niagara counties will have bitter contests
at the primary election Tuesday. The So
called alliance between Superintendent r Z.
Stevens Of the State Department of Public
Works, and Congressman Peter A. Porter is
lined up against the Wadsworth- Merritt-San-
ders faction. The Stevens-Porter men If they
carry the day at the polls will control the party
machinery for year and be in position to
dictate the delegates to the national conven-
ton These. in this event, it is thought, would
be instructed for Hughes and for the nomina-
ton of Representative Peter A Porter on the
regular Republican ticket. The nominations OF
Senator S. p. Franchot. Of the Niagara Orleans
district. and Senator s. Percy Hooker, of the
Cienesee- Wyoming Allegany district, are also at
stake. Victory for the opposing faction would
probably mean the denomination of ex-Repre-
sentatives James ". Wadsworth as the candi-
date for Congress.
