viii Confer with Wilson.

Acting Chairman McAdoo expects 10
gee Governor Wilson at Sea Girt to-
day. Senator O'Gorman may run
down also, II was said last night.
The general feeling OF resentment be
cause Senator O'Gorman has not been
sent to the state convention as a dele
gate has stirred up a big row In the
Tammany organization I'm the 18th As
sembly District. Edwin l.. Kilroe.
chairman Of the general committee Of
the district, gave out a long cxplana-
ton yesterday which did not explain.
II ended:
1T Is not to be denied. however
that by virtue Of his powerful and
dignifed Office Senator O'Gorman was
entitled 10 first consideration in the
selection of delegates 10 the state con-
yention, and would doubtless have been
so named had he given 90 the com
mittee the slightest intimation that he
desired to be named az a delegate.
While the failure 10 name Senator
O'Gorman az delegate is a most UNI
fortunate incident. the reasons there
for are readily cxplainable. and are
in no way traceable to Fourteenth
Street"
Mr.. Kilroe stated. practically. as he
did I'm The Tribune yesterday. that
Senator O'Gorman had not been select
ed az a delegate because he had re-
Trained from taking any part In tho
factional fight in the district. He re-
fused 10 assist Mr. Hines in his lead
ership fight, and for that reason is
unpopular with the present leader.
Mr.. Kilroe put II In this way:
THE gentlemen selected IA delegates
are fearless, independent party men Of
proven loyalty TO Democratic prlnci-
pies, who have given generously OF
their time and money 10 tho rehabii-
tation Of the Democratic party I'm the
10Th Assembly District
at ~ no more than their just due
that they should have received the
first honors within tho gift OF the
