AL. BURDICK IS
 TURNED D0WN

There is considerable feeling on the part of the friends of Alderman Al Burdick at the way in which he was dethroned and refused a renom- ination at the caucus in the Eleventh District last night
 It was all fixed several weeks ago to have Alderman Burdick renomin- ated as he had given excellent satiS- faction to the eRpublican machine which has run the party during his term in office and was always found to vote right on all party matters but the factions which have developed d since John T. King retired as leader has caused number of upheavaIs and many a candidate has found himself shelved. A1thugh always regular he was considered too friend | ly to the other faction than the one which was in control of the Dis frict-
 Alderman Burdick said today thai a number of the workers told him a short time ago that Charles Black Nam wanted the nomination and that he told them if B1acllham wanted ii he would withdraw. Last night the boys talked about it again and I said I would withdraw as long as Black. ham would run"

JOHN l. IS CALLED
 UPON
Will Visit Scene of His Old Kingdom Tomor- row and Listen to the Pleas for Help in the Matter of. Finances Wants to Help Bran degee.

Answering distress signals from the Republican Town Committee John T. King will revisit this city tomorrow and view; the scenes of his old kingdom.
 Things have become so muddled in the Republican party locally that it is difficult tA recognize the present machine as the one that was guided and the sad showing of the would-be leaders in the party here has caused so much concern among the state and national leaders that every ef- fort has been made to have John T. return and Straighten matters out.
 Up to date King has refused all calls even though they were made by members of the State and National Committees. but the said plight in which his friend, Senator Brandegee, come to this city tomorrow but he has notified all parties that he will take no hand in straigh tening out any of their matters but will see ii something cannot be done for Bran degee against whom the Re publican women voters are wagins such 9 strenuous campaign.
 King will take no mart in the local mix up and will not see the Mayor who is in Canada with the valiant Ancient and Honorable Artillery and
 with whom King has severed rela- tions according ito the Mayors state ments.
 The town committee wants iKne to uncover the sources of the finan- cial support which he was such ar adept in aligning with the local ma chine as the finances are so low a; the present time and the chances fol
 the old time supply so poor that the town committee is unable up to lhe present time to meet the old bills tc say nothing of ineurring new ones It is said that the ffremen are par. tieularly being everw orlled by col lectors from both factions and the police are also feeling the draft

TWO BURCLARIES
 AND A HOLD-UP

Two attempted burgIaries and one alleged hold up were reported to the police this morning. All three of the complaints are being investigated.
 Richard Barry. who is employed at the Hillside Home reported that he had been held up by three men last night on Bond street near the Rem- Arms plant and robbed of S14. He admitted that he had been drinkfn g but was able to furnish the detective bureau with a fair sort of a desefip- ton of two of the three men whom he claims did the "stick-up."
 Burglars gained an entrance to 9 barber shop at 2S4 George street late last night but an inventory taken by the proprietor, Carlos Pallotti. this morning, showed that nothing ot value was taken.
 One or more 'yegss'' made an at. tempt late last night te ''blow" the safe at the Crescent Candy Company on Island Brook avenue but were un- successful evidently having beer scared away before they had com, p1eted the job. Tha combination or the safe had been knocked off pre- paratery to ths blow, The owner re- ported that nothing was missing.
