Republican Businessmen
Form New Organization
APPORTIONMENT OF
DELEGATES MADE
Republican County Committee Is
Arranging for Municipal Plat
form Convention Following

With the anti-Herrin machine mem
bers mastering 16 out of 81 committee
men present the republican county
committee apportioned the delegates to
the platform convention last night and
adjourned without any attempt to IN
dorse candidate for republican noml-
nation for mayor.
The municipal convention which, un-
der the provisions of the direct primary
law, will frame the party platform ana
select the county committee, will con-
sist of 165 delegates. 1t Will be as
sembled August so, and the republican
petition for primary ballot will be
signed by both f. H. Dam and Harry
craftsmanship of the county committee.
These things were decided last night
at a meeting of the county committee
which was by far the most harmonious
in the stormy history of that aggrega-
ton of Representative" citizens.
That there was no attempt to indorse
Croker for mayor may have been d.
rectly due to the fact that the ants
had a majority of one, and that there
would have been no quorum without
them. Before the meeting was caileo
to order, Worthington and Dam hao an
understanding and an agreement that
there would be no attempt to do more
than apportion delegates. And when a
motion to adopt the apportionment
resolution was coupled with a motion
that the party petition be signed by
both Dam and Worthington, there was
not a dissenting vote
ALL WAS HARMONY
With the apportionment out of the
way Worthington took no chances he
declared the meeting adjourned ana
harmony reigned. The two big police
mon detailed to preserve the peace at
the request Of Worthington let their
belts down from the riot notch and the
crowd which had gathered to see the
expected fight, shifted in disgust and
departed.
It was quite disappointing. The ma
chine men had labored for two days TO
exact promises of absence from mem
bers of the committee known TO be
lined UP with Dam. Hale and the anti
machinists who are supporting Mauzy.
The ants were assembled in another
part of the Pacific building with scouts
bringing reports from the front. When
the announced time for the meeting had
passed and another half an hour with IL
and the Sullivan wing mustered only
IL, the ants marched in with their 16.
The meeting was delayed until four
more of the Sullivan following re-
ported and the agreement to stick to
the matter set forth in the call was
made.
Five members of the committee were
absent, but had the entire membership
been present. the situation as to con-
troll would have remained unchanged,
except for a larger majority on the
side of the ants, who would have polled
10 or 20 to II or16 on the Sullivan side
OF the house. There was also strong
indications of detection on the part of
two of the 10 members arrayed present
who We're arrayed on the Sullivan side.
The absent committeeman were:
Thomas F. Dolan, John WEIGH. G..
Kammerer, John d. DAILY and Warren
Shannon.
