Refuse to Withdraw All Nom
inees Agreed Upon in
Conference Early
in Day.

After an agreement had been made
between Samuel S. Koenig. president
ard Francis w. Bird. chairman Of the
Progressive county committee. con-
cerning Withdrawals OF candidates for
the Assembly and the Board Of Alder
Iaen. so that fusion might be brought
about. the Progressives failed 10 make
good at every point.
When the last moment came for
filing the declarations at the Board of
Elections at midnight Mr.. Bird failed
to file declinations Of Progressives IN
the 25th and 2lst Assembly districts
and Cd Municipal Court.
The Republicans filed all the dec,ina-
tions agreed upon except that OF the
Assembly candidate in the 3lst, where
John ]. Lyons refused to take down his
candidate.
Mr.. Koenig was considerably worked
UP over the failure OF the Progressivcs
to keep their part OF the bargain.
II consider this a breaking OF our
agreement" he said. We have tiled
our declinations. but on account II
their failure TO live up to their agree
ment we may not substitute the Pro-
gressive candidates. but may go hack
to the original candidates"
Bird Failed in 18th.
The Progressives alcd the declnaticn
Of their candidate against Alderman
Henry ". Curran In the 9th Assembly
District. They failed. however. to put
in the declination Of the Progressive
Assembly candidate. as had been
agreed. Mr.. Bird said he was unable
10 secure the mans declination.
However, he had the declination OF
the Assembly candidate In the 2lst AS
sembly District in his pocket at the
Board OF Elections. but when he learned
that Mr.. Koenig was unable to secure
date in the 3lst he refused 10 file the
2lst.
The Progressives also fell down on
their proposition to indorse the Repub-
lican candidate for the Municipal Court
in the I'd District. They therefore
failed in three OF their undertakings TO
one failure on the part of the Republi-
cans.
II is not necessary to make substi-
tutions for those who have declined for
FIVE more days. The feeling between
the two organizations may mean that
the substitutions that would bring about
complete fusion may not be made.
Speaking in regard TO the agreement
reached earlier in the evening Mr.. Koe-
mig said:
when we had our final conference IT
was agreed that the Progressives would
indorse the Republican candidates for
the Assembly in the 9th, 21st and 18th
there should be three-cornered tight
in the 23d and Goth Assembly districts.
They agreed to withdraw David
Goldstein. their candidate for the Mu-
nicipal Court in the I'd District, In
favor Of Justice Hartman, the Repub-
lican candidate.
I'VE agreed. on the other hand. TO
withdraw our candidates and indorse

Passengers and officers alike secuted
the reports that Captain Inch had been
