TO.
BOLT FUSION
IN NEW YORK y
If They Are Not Given Place
On Ticket
PRESENT AN ULTIMATUM
Declare That the Republicans Are
Trying to Play Cheap
Politics.

New York Aug. 17.-lf the Fusion
Committee does net give the Progress
sive Party the representation it
wants on the various county tickets
up, the Progressives will throw the
whole Fusion slate overheard and
nominate candidates of their own.
This course was agreed upon last
night at a meeting of the Progressive
district leaders held at their county
headquarters, 80 Washington Square
West.
The Bull Moose men were angry
all the way through when they got
together last night in answer TO n
call issued by County Chairman
Francis W. Bird and they didn't care
who knew It. Mr. Bird presided,
and he did not mnce words in des-
cribing how, in his opinion, the Re
publicans were trying to 'bull-doze"
the Funslonists into making them
give up the choicest nominations,
THE Republicans are bmffing all
the way through" said Chairman
Bird. They have made demands
upon the Fusion forces that are alb
sclutely untenable. We will not
stand for il"
Mr.. Bird said that his organization
had given the Fusionists notice that
they wanted the office of Sheriff Of
New York County. and if they didn't
get it there would surely be trouble.
He said the Progressives had submit
ted three names for the Fusionists
to choose from in making up their
Sheriffs slate Joseph e. Savage,
Timothy Healy. the labor leader. and
David Goldstein, and they wouldn't
take mo- for an answer. He said
that this Office was the only one the
Progressives wanted in New York
county. but that the other county
organizations were making their own
demands
The Pogressives have also asked
for representation on the Judicial
ticket. and they have furnished list
of names, but they are willing to ac-
cept the Fusionist's decision in this
regard providing thai men of high
standing are nominated.
while we have submitted several
names OF well-known Progressives
for the nomination of Suprese Court
Justice, we do not insist upon their
selection said Chairman Bird. 1--WE
do want the Office of Sheriff. how
ever, and II we dont get il, we will
nominate our own candidate. We
have been very reasonable in our re-
quests. but We do no. propose to
stand for the kind of cheap politics
the Republicans are trying to play
with the Fusion committee"
