San Francisco Labor Party Assembly
poes Not Consider Proposal Of Re-
publleans to Name Fusion
Candidates

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 19.-The
union labor convention tonight ignored
a communication from the Republican
municipal convention asking for the
appointment of committee to confer
with like committee from tho DEM
ocratic and Republican conventions Tor
the purpose of arranging fusion
ticket on mayor and district attorney.
The convention was overwhelmingly
in the control of the faction headed by
P. H. Mccarthy, which means that the
convention is actually controlled by
former Mayor Schmitz, who is opposed
to the renomination of District Attor-
ney Langdon.
The McCarthyites captured the tenn
porary organization of the convention
by selecting Joseph Leonard temporary
chairman by vote of 139 to SO. After
the appointment of the usual commit
tees the secretary announced a COM
munication from the Republican con-
yention. Before the communication
was read p H. Mccarthy moved to ad-
journ to meet again at the call OF the
chairman.
The motion was carried amidst some
confusion and the convention ad-
journed.
