GO AWAY FROM THERE
Invaders Then Elect Mrs. Julia
Mclaughlin as Borough
Leader.

Further complications were added 70
the already sadly fuddled affairs OF
the Queens Borough Woman Suffrage
party last night. when the secret con-
vention at which Mrs. Alfred j. Emo
hoped TO finally clinch her Craftsmanship
for another year was broken into by
ifty unlimited women OF the Scanlon
faction.
After a stormy session, Mrs. VI. u.
Sturgis, the chairman OF the district
and n henchman of Mrs. Emo. adjourned
the meeting The intruders. under the
leadership Of Mrs. Mary T. Haggerty,
then took possession of the floor and
unanimously elected their ticket.
Following the deadlock % Tuesday
night, which stood 10 10 ~ after a
four-hour fight, the Emo forces decided
that when the reelection took place
only members enrolled at tn- borough
headquarters would be permitted TO
vote. Cards were mailed 10 these
women. and IL was understood that
only those showing cards woHA be adj
mitted last night. The meeting was
held at the home of Miss Jane Hoben.
1863 Twelfth Street, Long Island City.
At s o'clock last night sixteen regu-
larly enrolled members Of the party
appeared at the trysting place and were
duly admitted. Mrs. J. Wentworth Suf
fern. vice chairman Of the city organ
ization, appeared and, on motion, was
invited 20 assist in conduct the meeting.
Meanwhile. Mrs. Hsggerty and the
local forces gathered without, and
surgsd about the house seeking admls-
sion. When they failed. they retreated

council Of war was held. They de-
cided 70 force an entrance, and moved
on the Hoben homestead in a body.
Fearing a riot the Emo forces admit
ted them.
The question was immed ately put
up, Who should be permitted 10 vote?
Mrs Sufrern decided that all those reg
istered in Brooklyn and Queens quail
fed. This aroused storm OF protest,
and some one accused Mrs. Haggerty
of enrolling all her followers Yesterday
afternoon, whereas the constitution
saws member must be enrolled forty
eight hours before she can vote.
A friend Of peace moved an adjourn
ment. An Enoite Immediately second

locals. who outnumbered Mrs. Eno's
troup three TO one, howled this motion
down and voted solidly against ad-

lowers had already left. vote was
taken. and Mrs. Julia Mclaughlin was
elected district leader.

In many parts Of the world the law

in all parts Of the United States regu-

This is for the precise reason that the
realization grows constantly stronger

an added burden to an already too
large population of undesirables.
