INTERPRETS PRIMARY LAW
Attorney General Replies TO
Questions of Barnes.

Albany, Dec. 4-Replying TO certain ques-
tions asked by William Barnes, Jr., chalr-
man Of the Republican State COMMITTEE
Attorney General Carmody, in an opihlo"
to-day, interprets several provisions OF the
new direct primary law
He holds that state committees have no
power 10 adopt rules relative to the man
ner of the election of their MEMBERS al
though they may adopt rules and regula-
tions relative to their management ana
control Until the adoption OF rules ana
regulations at state conventions the Num-
her of members and units of representation
shall continue as they now exist The com
mittee may designate the time and place
of holding the party convention, it may
ill vacancies caused by death, declination
or disqualification, and may file new GER
tiAcates of nominations where old certifi-
cafes are found defective but not wholly
void.
The increase in the number OF Congress
districts from thirty-seven 10 torty-three
entities the Republican party TO torty-three
state committeeman. The members or the Old
Congress- committee residing in the newly
formed district constitute automatically the
new Congress committee. The members OF
the Republican State Committee in New
York Citv are to be elected at the fall
primaries in 1872
The rules of each political party may pre-
scribe that the delegates to the national
convention shall be elected, either at the
state convention or from Congress districts,
or partly by the state convention and pe$Ss
ly by Congress districts.
The law gives the party the right TO
designate the unit of representation on the
state committee, and for delegates TO the
national convention. Delegates to the state
convention must be elected at the pri-
maries
Section III, which provides that delegates
and alternates to the state convention shall
be elected by Assembly district conven-
tions, is inconsistent with the general pur-
pose OF the law and with the specific pro-
visions contained in Section 49, and must
yield to those provisions Section 40 pro-
vides for the election at the primaries OF
delegates to the state convention, ana tor
the nomination Of such delegates by the
appropriate committees.
All committees now in existence continue
until new committees are selected IN the
manner provided by the primary law
The provision Of section IS of the primary
law. that the name OF candidate snail
not appear more than once on primary
ballot is not affected by the opinion OF the
Court of Appeals condemning as unconsu-
tutional similar provision in the elecuon
law.
THE primary law" says the ATTORNEY
General, "is intended 10 accomplish popular
cam
diuates. It undertakes 10 provide TOT popu-
lar participation in party organization ana

be given to the statute that is fairly within

PHYSICIANS PRAISED DOTY
Some Time Ago Paid Visit to
Quarantine Islands.

Several months before the election of Gov
ernor Dix last November certain East Side
interests represented by Charles Dushkind,
a lawyer, made complaints at Albany about
conditions at Hoffman and Swinburne ISL
ands, which were under the jurisdiction OF
DR.. Doty. In reply the Health Officer in
vited inspection of the hospitals, pavions
and detention buildings on the two Quaran-
tine islands. and his invitation was accept
ed by a group Of prominent physicians and
surgeons of this city. All agreed that the
complaints were unfounded, and commend
ed Or. Doty for his efficient administration
and the improvements he had made at the
islands on small appropriations.
Shortly after the election OF Governor
Dix pressure was put on the Governor to
remove DR.. Doty. whose place was desired
by several medical men with political back
ing In the Democratic party. Dr. William
T. jenkins. a former Health Officer and
brother-in-law of Richard Croker, was one
Of the candidates for DR.. Doty's place on
Mr.. Crokers arrival here last winter. how
ever, the former Tammany leader declared
he would do nothing for Or. jenkins.
Governor Dix was loath to remove Dr.
Doty without cause. Subsequently the COM
plants OF Dushkind were again brought to
Albany, and Governor Dix selected Charles
n. Bulger. a Democrat, TO investigate DR.
Doty and his administration. The investi-
cation began in this city in June and lasted
until the middle of September. DR.. Doty
declined to appear at the investigation and
was not represented by counsel until al
most the close of the hearings Before the
close of the investigation number of
prominent physicians. including Or. Simon
Flexner, of the Rockefeller Institute for
Medical Research, and DR.. Joseph W.
Brannan. Of Bellevue and Allied Hospitals
sppeared I'm behalf Of DR. Doty.

Death Mystery Is Cleared.

Up TO late last night the mysterious cir

Durland, the poet and novelist, who COM

Boston, two weeks ago, remained unsolved.

of his attention, the writer could scarcely

Morris Hilquit, who presided at a Social
i.t mass meeting In Carnegie Hall last
night. at which Dr. George n. Lunn. So
ciaI,st Mayor-elect Of Schenectady, was the
,,r,ncipal speaker. referred TO the recent
co.rfessions of the Mcnamara brothers,
saying:
We Socialists rallied TO the defence OF the

nere innocent. In this case our belief was
unfounded. but we have no excuse TO make;
No analogy to offer for the stand We took.

GOMPERS ASSA|LS BURNS
Says He Would Stop at Nothing
to MaIign Union Labor.
DECLARES HE IS WATCHED
Has Nothing to Conceal, Leader
Maintains, and Is Willing to
Tell All He Knows.

Samuel Gompers. president Of the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor. gave last night
his opinion of William J. Burns, the de-
tective responsible for the arrest Of the
McNamaras. who asserted that Gompers
knew of their guilt all along.
Il say this" remarked Mr.. Gompers be-
fore the name of Burns had been brought
into the conversation, and I could not
say 1t more emphatically If ] said II a
thousand times: What Burns says is alb
solutely and unequivocally false. IT is so
false that 81 could not he more so. Burns
will say anything. viii so TO any lengths.

Mr. Gompers threw back his shoulders
spread iis legs apart and thrust his hands
into his trousers pockets.
There are two points he said on
which 7 know him TO have stated untruths.
In the first place. he said that Darrow was
present at our convention in Indianapolis
on June 16 and told us then that the Nc
Namaras We're guilty To the best of my
knowledge Mr.. Darrow was not in Indian
apols at the time am absolutely certain
that ne was not at the meeting while !
was there.
Again, Burns said that ! knew the Nc
Namaras were guilty. 7 not only knew no
such thing but I believed implicitly IN
their innocence. I had no suspicion mat

Commissioners Recommendation.


The Commissioner recommends In adj
dition 10 the removal of DR.. Doty:
That the Childrens Hospital on Hoff
man Island be discontinued, that the
building which it occupies be equipped
as a dormitory for the use Of immigrants
in Quarantine, that II the state is to con-
tinue the treatment Of immigrant chill
dren for minor diseases incident to child
hood. the state should erect a suitable
hospital for that purpose on high and
dry ground at some distance from the
New York quarantine station; or, that
the state should contract for such med
ical treatment at appropriate hospitals
controlled by the Department Of Health
of the City Of New York, at the expense
of the steamship companies bringing
such children TO Quarantine.
That the water and sewer systems on
! Hoffman Island be overhauled and re-
| constructed under the supervision of a
sanitary engineer so as to fully comply
with all modern sanitary requirements,
and that the water supply on Hoffman
Island be increased by deepening the
present well on that island or by sink
| ing a new one. or by such other means
as may be necessary.
That the law applicable TO the office
| Of Health officer OF the Port Of New
| York be amended so as to compel the
purchase of supplies for Quarantine ac-
| cording 10 the competitive plan or bid
| system; and, also. so as to make the rule
| Of uniform rates for maintenance Of
| Quarantine passengers mandatory; that
the buildings on Hoffman Island be over
hauled, that ventilating system be in
! stalled therein, and that an adequate
| system for the heating Of said buildings
! he provided.
That the law applicable to the Health
! Officer OF the Port of New York be
amended so as 10 enable the State Con-
troller 10 appoint a special deputy or
to employ a finance clerk. who shall keep
| his office in the Quarantine building at
Rosebank, and whose duty it shall be to
receive and disburse all moneys on ac-
count OF Quarantine ana keep records
