M'CARREN'S OLD SMILE
KIND OF CUTTING AGAIN.
Says He'll Support Ticket-Liks He
Did THO Years Ago.

On. yes. he will support the ticket Senator
Patrick Henry McCarren. who returned 70 Brook
Iyn yesterday after being thrown out OF the DEM
ocratic National Convention at Denver by ths
scruff of the neck. said so last night. But hs
said 1t with one Of those quiet smiles like those
on the face of a tiger which is about 10 jump on
its prey in the thicket on a dark night
Yes. the Kings County Democratic General Com
mittee will hold a meeting Tuesday night IN
the jefferson Building ratify the nominations
of Bryan and Kern. And Bryan and Kern trans

ratffy the nominations at Denver.
All this is fine: but when you remember that
this IS tust what McCarren'S organization did Two
years ago. when Hearst was nominated for GOV

was s1ashed by the Brooklyn Senator's oTgsniza-
ton. 1T is hard to suppress a smile
1t would not do at this time for the Senator
even to intimate by much as the quiver OF s1
eyelash that he would not work heart and soul
for the success OF the regularly nominated ticket
This is because he will have the fight OF his ITS
at the September primaries to retain his leader
ship. The decision OF Justice Kelly yesterday rs-
fusins to compel the Board of Elections to sppoin;
election inspectors chosen by him was sewers
blow and will handicap him greatly in the hsl.
against the opposition at the primaries.
So the Senator will be regular a chronou1ets'
at least until after the primaries Then. he wins
