BoRIE TRUE TO "oLD GUARD"
Denies Change of Allegiance and is
"Good Democrat" He Saws,

Magistrate z. X. Borie. who was yes
terday reported as a convert TO the re-
organization element in the Democratic
party, today issued an emphatic denial
that he had deserted the bipartisan
old guard of the Democratic City Com
mlttee with which he has been identified
for years.
"I have always been an organization
Democrat and still am" he said. II am
a member of the City Committee and have
not in any sense OF tho word ropudiated
that leadership. The rumor seems to
have started from the fact that at recent
meeting of the Twenty-third Ward So
ciety and the members of the Ward
Committee I offered a motion approving
of the candidates. of Palmer and Nc
Cormick. That is only what any good
Democrat would do, and is not a sufficient
basis for a statement that have broken
my Affiliations with anybody"
