San Francisco. Sept. 1S-The retirement Of Ru-
dolph Spreckels from the Good Government League.
OF which he was the chief founder. has created
a great hubbub in the ranks Of local political re-
formers. Spreckels objected the Endorsement
by the executive committee Of the league OF Dr.

He declared these two men simply puppets
OF Gavin McNab. the Democratic boss. and that
the league in indorsing them had played into the
hands OF enemies OF reform.
This quarrel Will have an influence on Heney's
