Young Democrats

Turbulent Meeting Over.
rides Directors Indorse-
ment of Mitchell

The New York Democratic Club held
a meeting last night at its headquar.
tiers, 302 Madison Avenue, and over
rode the action of its board OF directors
last Wednesday when they Endorsed
Mayor Mitchell for reelection, and Fire
Commissioner Robert Adamson FOR
President Of the Board of Aldermen
on the Fusion ticket.
The meeting was turbulent and dis
orderly. The Tsmmany members Of
the club finally succeeded in passing
resolutions resembling the action Of
the directors and indorsing Judge Jonn
i. HyIsn and Sheriff Alfred r. Smith,
the Tammany candidates for Mayor and
President OF the Board Of Aldermen.
The vote was close enoush-44 to
$1-to cause the Mitchel-Adamson fac
ton to make charges against the Tam
many men OF packing the meeting.
Senator James A. Foley and several
Tammany members OF District Attor-
reg S.ann's staff were present and en-
gineered the anti-Mitchel faction.
The Mitchell forces were headed by
Stanley J. Quinn, Assistant Corpora
tiop Counsel, and several other Office
holders in the city government. The
Tammany men accused Quinn and
Richard Patterson, jr., OF putting
over" the Mitchell resolution at the
directors meeting. Feeling ran high
and the speakers on both sides we've re-
pea:ediy interrupted BY Kisses and
general disorder.
Elwood VI. Rsbenold, one Of the four
directors who resigned after the adop-
ton OF the Mitchell iadorsement last
week, offered resolution 20 rescind
the action OF the directors, but with a
clause providing that the club should
take 10 further action toward indors-
ing one Democrat over another. Will
lam Spinrey, president OF the club,
favored this resolution, but il was
voted down. ~ 20 81.
Vincent +. Kilroy. son OF a former
Mayor, then presented the Tammany
resolution. and Il vas carried by vote
of 90 10 -. The discrepancy in the two
votes was explained by the fact that
SOME Of the member, who we're ior
Hylan and Smith were willing % sup
port the first harmony resolution.
Prcsiden. SD.nuey stated that the
board OF directors were willing 20 le-
scini their action provided IIylan and
Smith were not formally Endorsed. A
resolution was also passed indorsing
Charles L. Craig, the Tsmmany csndi-
date for Controller.

Mineola

MINEOLA, Long Island, Sept. 10
Mrs. Blanca Vergara de Errazuriz,
mother Of Mrs. Blanca de Saulles, ar
rived here late this afternoon from
Valparaiso, Chile, and Immediately
went to visit her daughter in the Min
cola Jail, where the latter is awaiting
trial for the shooting of her husband,
John L. de Saulles.
Mrs. de Errszuriz was accompanied
by her daughter, Miss Amalia de En-
razuriz, and a married son, Guillermo

leased by Mrs. dc Saulles and occu-
pied by her at the time she killed her
husband They will remain there until
the trial, in November.
When she visited the Jail Mrs. de
Errazuriz was accompanied by her son.
They drove up to the rear door. The
mother was dressed in black and wore
a heavy black veil. 1t was said she was
in mourning for a brother who died re-
Gently.
She appeared TO be on the verge Of
collapse as she was assisted up the
steps by her son and once stumbled
and nearly fell. Inside she was over
come again and had TO rest for few
minutes TO compose herself before she
saw her daughter She remained in
the Jail for more than two hours.
Because there are no available Su-
preme Court justices. there will be no
grand jury called here this month, and
an indictment probably will not be re
turned until the October term. Should
an indictment be found, the trial will be
conducted before Supreme Court Jus
tice David +. Manning the following
