The sixteen Republican members CT
the Common Council of 1909 were frus-

night with the aid of lone Democrat.
William j. Reilly, whose term as alder
man had ended a few minutes before,
seized Alderman Patrick J. Dolan,
Democrat. of the Twelfth ward, and
forcibly elected him from the Council
chamber before the Republicans
realized that Dolan was there.
The similar attempt occurred a few
days before when city Counsel James
r. Nugent deity withdrew Alderman
Frederick Fischer, Democrat, of the
Sixth ward, from an ante-room of the
Council chamber wither he had re-
treated upon hearing Nugent's foot
steps.
The Council is still tied with the
selection of president in the air. The
next attempt to organize is scheduled
for Monday night, and if formal reso-
luton adopted by tine Republicans is
taken seriously the police will be called
