AFTER McCARREN
Some Brooklyn Democrats Getting
Ready for March Primaries.

NEW YORK. January 1.-THE political
enemies of Senator p III. McCarren in
Brooklyn are lining up for fresh attack
on his leadership OF the democratic or
ganization. There is to be a rally of the
anti McCarren elements in the democratic
organization in Kings county at the
March primaries.
1t is conceded that McCarren will win
out in every assembly district with posi-
bly, two or three exceptions, but his enc
mics will make the fight at the primaries
so as to start contest against him at the
state convention for the choice of dele
gates at large to the national convention.
1t is the purpose of the nti-McCarrenites
to object to the admission of the McCarren
delegates to both conventions by reason
of the senator's opposition to w. r.
Hearst during the last gubernatoral CAM
paign. The leaders Of the warfare on Nc
Carren include Bird S. Coler, president of
the borough: James Shevlin. ex-Sherif
Michael j. Flaherty. John B. Delaney
and Patrick Hayes.

WINS WINTER EXPENSES

NEW ORLEANS. January 1S.-James
III. Mccormick, the eastern turfman, who
won the Carter and Metropolitan handi-
caps last season with his big horse Glori-
fer, yesterday won at the Fair Grounds
track a race which netted him in bets
$1,000. 1t was the first event on the
program and was won by The Thorn, a
three-year-old gelding by Etheibert
The Thorn was backed from II to l

1t was the first coup" of the winter

he and his friends-he always spreads his
good things among his friends-partici-

was placed in oht of town poolrooms,

when The Thorn salloped home in front.

Mccormick has had The Thorn in pickle
for this race for some time. The geld
ing is rather delicate and hard to train.
1t was only by careful nursing that Nc
Cormick managed to eft" him for his
race yesterday afternoon. AS the COM
pany he met was of the cheap selling
platter class. it did not require much speed
on the part of The Thorn TO win. But
this speed had been safely hidden from
the prying eyes Of the "clockers," and II
was this that enabled the witty little Irish
man to gather richly at big odds.

Once in front in the stretch and with
a clear path to the winning post The

furlong and beat Dick Rose nearly two
lengths for the place.
