Burlngame Showed Under
When the roll call reached Kings
Livingston demonstrated his grip on
the local organization by getting "a
votes for Burlingame, as against as
for Lockwood with two delegates not
voting. The roll call was hardly under
way before it became clear that the
delegates were using the fight between
Calder and Livingston as reason for
leaving both aspirants alone. They
swung almost solidly to Wendell, who
has been for more than twenty-onc
years connected with the State Comp
troller's Office. The result gave him
651 votes to 131 for Burlingame and
lib for Lockwood, with three not vot-
ing.
The Livingston men seemed to get
a good deal of satisfaction cut of the
result, although it left Brooklyn with
out representation on the state ticket.

nomination of Wendell unanimous, and
the delegates seemed glad to turn to
something besides the factional trouble,
in the biggest New York City borough.
