TO STAND PAT
Democratic Faction He Heads
Declines Overtures From
Other Factions.

The Costello faction, in the saddle in
District democratic affairs, intends TO
stand pat, and VIII pay no attention to
overtures from other factions looking to
division of control on the grounds of
compromising" existing differences. This
is the tenor of letter, sent by Robert
Mattingly, chairman of the democratic
District central committee, to John Boyle,
and made public last night. The letter
was in reply to one sent by Mr. Boyle to
Chairman Mattingly, in which the exist
ing organization is recognized as the legal
and rightful committee.
Chairman Mattingly says he is in favor
of complete harmony between the several
factions of the District democracy if it
can be secured without sacrifice of honor.
Reviews Recent Conflict.
After reviewing the splits in the demo-
cratic convention for electing the Dis
trict's delegates to the democratic ma
tional convention and the contests there,
Mr.. Mattingly concludes:
Suffice 1t to say that the committee on
credentials, by an overwhelming major
ity, decided that our delegation was the
only regular, legal representation from
the District, and the convention, which
has the last word in such contests, unan-
imously ratified and confirmed that re-
port. Yet, a small contingent of those
who were defeated and Ousted by us at
every point now contend tear as a re-
suit of the temporary seating of one of
the boiling delegations by the SUBJ
committee above referred to, which report
was approved by the old national COM
mittee. now dead and functus officiO, they
still have some sort of life in a so-called
central committee supposed to have been
chosen by one OF the boiling conven-
tons. We regard the assumption as ar
rogant and too absurd to bring to the
attention of our committee for considera-
ton. AS you so clearly set forth, to re-
duce or increase the size Of our commit
tee, even if we We're so disposed, is abso-
iutely beyond our power, and would be a
of the interests Of the
democracy of the District"

FAIR WEATHER is PROMISED.
Thermometer Not Expected to Soar
Higher for Few Days.

Fair weather, with moderate tempera-
ture. is the prediction of the official fore
caster for today and tomorrow. The
cooler weather promised in yesterdays
forecast arrived last night according to
schedule. and no material increase in the
thermometer reading is to be expected for
the next two or three days. Further.
there is now little probability of rain, as
the conditions which indicated the likeli-
hood of local showers during the past
few days have changed, and the tempera-
ture and barometric conditions are now
such as to make even local showers un-
likely.
