1t will be appointed today by. A. G. Nc

There will be no open warfare be-
/ tween the anti-machine and regular
factions on the county committee If it
can be averted by the diplomacy of the
| disbursements campaign committee,
charged with the duty of nominating
and electing the ticket selected by the
committee of 25.
COUNTY COMMITTEE REGULARS
| The regulars" on the county COM
mittee, who have joined hands with the
! businessmen, will not be permitted to
participate in the efforts to pull down
candidates. The businessmens candi-
dates will not be formally Endorsed by
the county committee or the Sullivan
campaign committee. which will work
with the disbursements committee.
County committee stationery may be
used and the machinery of the county
committee employed for the business
mems candidates, but no formal resolu-
tions of Endorsement Will be put
through These things were decided
yesterday at brief conference at the
county committee headquarters in the
Pacific building.
The county committee was represent
ed by Tim Sullivan. Buck Worthing-
ton, Mamie Strauss, Ed Buckley. Billy
Bell, Harry Beasley Mic Beban, John
T. Pidwell and F. G. Cartwright. The
| disbursements campaign committee of
10 was represented by Andrew G. Nc
Carthy, Charles NJ Plum, Walter r.
Bacon Louis A. Stieger and DR.. John
A Haderle. Andrew G. Mccarthy, chair
man of the Disbursements campaign
committee presided.
! A proposition to give the business
mems candidates the Endorsement of the
/ county committee was promptly sat
upon by Walter r. Bacon. Bacon said
that the businessmen had taken cog
nizance of the fact that there were fac
lions in the county committee. The
businessmen, said Bacon, had no desire
to precipitate internecine strife They
wanted harmony. They wanted the as
sistance of the county committees cam
paign committee, but they were opposed
to any formal action which would re-
suit in another war in the county COM
mittee.
DISTRICT ORGANIZATIONS
The net result of the brief session
was the authorization of a committee
of three on district organization. That
committee will be named today by
Chairman Mccarthy. Mccarthy said
last night that the organization COM
mittee would be representative of both
the Disbursements committee and the
| ~
The businessmen's committee will
prosecute it's campaign of persuasion
directed at the candidates who were
not fortunate enough to secure its in
dorsement Those candidates will be
invited to get out OF the way of the
candidates chosen by the businessmen,
both in the interest of the business
mems candidates and party harmony.
That wing of the county committee
affiliated with the businessmen will not
be expected to participate formally in
the work of pulling down candidates.
AMBITION OF EGGERs
The members of the businessmen's
committee do not expect to induce any
of the Independent republican candi-
dates to withdraw and they admit
small hope of success with some of the
men who have always been regular
and who expected to be Endorsed by
the committee of %. One of these is
Fred w. Eggers, former supervisor and
boss of the thirty sixth district, who
wants the republican nomination for
sheriff. Eggers has wanted that nom
ination for many a day. He went to
convention after convention with his
own little delegation in his pocket;
turned it over to the organization and
received in return smiles of coincidence
over his failure to land the shrievalty
nomination.
The enactment of the direct primary
law showed Eggers a great light. In
the glare of that light he saw the
nomination for sheriff taking wings
and lighting on the uncovered head of
Eggers. Tim Sullivan was with him.
He thought he had the businessmen's
| Endorsement in his shoe. Then the light
went out. The interests behind John J.
Deane were too strong for Eggers in
the Disbursements committee of 25.
Deane got the Endorsement Eggers
put on a new coat of warpaint. He is
/ hunting for blood and the nomination
! for sheriff and his jungle heaters are in
| charge of Henry Beatty, who, as a
member of the last state assembly
proved himself one of the most capable
and square toed legislators San Fran
cisco has had in many years.
