SPLIT on DISCORD ROCK
As matters now stand. the 7. II. Nc
CarthY disbursements association, or
what was once supposed to he the p
H. McC b. NJ A. is hOpelesSlE split
upon the rock Of disCord. The rock, by
the way. reared itself originally in the
form Of the Metropolitan athletic club.

If everybody concerned is to he be-

continents began after Mayor Nc
CarthyS induction into Office. is now
body without 4 president. vice presi-
dent. secretary or treasurer and with
several missing links in its directory
board. MacNevin says that Colonel
Dorm. Milton T Clark and Louis Blot
are no longer its president, treasurer
and vice president respectively, and
Dorm now responds with much gusto
that MacNevin is no longer the secre-
tary.
TWO LISTS OF OFFICERS
on the other hand each faction
claims full list Of officers of its own,
and so it Is q choice between viewing
the p. II. McC. g. NJ. A. as an associa-
ton without any officers at all or as
one with 2 duplicate list of function
aries. Colonel Dorns cohorts have the
advantage Of the official Endorsement of
the man whose name adOrns the asso-
citation. for the mayor has cast his judi
cial eye upon both and given his sane
ton 10 this faction MacNevin. how
ever. has the original membership roll
and all the books.

moval Of Colonel Dorm, but proposes to

pose
The resolutions of expulsion adopted
yesterday at the meeting at the Palace
hotel took official cOgnizance OF Colonel
Dorn's recent description of William Y.
and Harry MacNevin as some sore
heads" In fact, it was set forth in the
resolution that all the trouble has
arisen. not over the formation of the
Metropolitan athletic club. but over
William Y. MacNevin's failure to Sc
cure an appointment as police commits

Gently falsely purported to hold A
meeting of this association, which
meeting was wholly unauthorized,
and was not called by the officers
OF the association. and of which
the officers and members of this as

association in malicious attempt to

Office Of secretary followed while +. J.
Crowley was ma Eed to succeed Harry
MacNevin as one Of the associations

qualified endorsement to the three Of

his wing Of the association last week
