Yes, sir" said Mr. Meltzer.
Even the reformers seemed satisfied
with the quiet that is said to have de-

They say, now that dancing has

Yesterday those who considered Green

She told of her first meeting with the

We have lived there more wears

continued, "and below US the side of

favor man who would make more of
an appeal to the independent upstate
voters,
Another shrewd T'ammany move
which was baked BY George r. Dunn
was made on the floor of the confer
ence when Mr.. Osborn offered reso-
luton providing for the creation of an
advisory committee, to be named by
the state committee, consisting of ff-
ty-one members, one from each Sena-
torial district, which would give Tam
many control. These fifty-one MEM
bers would in turn name seven women
members. Mr. Dunn objected, and OBJ
iected 80 strenuously that the resolu-
tion was changed to have the commit
tee consist of one man and one woman
from each Congressional district.
Former Lieutenant Governor Harry
Walker had resolution passed Great

members, to meet monthly with the

Two Drivers Accused of
Wholesale Watch Thefts
Ingersoll Company Employee
Charged With False. Count
on Sack Shipments

John Blank, driver for the Inger-
soil Watch Company, and Frederick
Martin, an express wagon driver, were
arrested yesterday, accused of steal
ing thousands of dollars worth of In
gersoll watches from the mail within
the last month.
According to Detective Boyle, who
made the arrests, when Blank had "a
dozen sacks of watches to deliver at
the parcel post station at Twenty
third Street and Madison Avenue he
would turn in only ten or eleven, do
ing it so casually that the hurried
clerk would give him receipt for the
entire dozen without counting the
sacks.
The sack or two of watches that
Blank had retained would be turned
over TO Martin, it is alleged, on the
way back to the Ingersoll factory.
Boyle said that he found 300 watches
Il Blanks home. Martin denies any
connection with the thefts.

First Clash Over
State Chairman
Won by Tannlany
Democrats Opposed to Van
Nance Unable to Agree ON
Candidate; Smith Boom
for Covernorship in Peril
Special Dsspatch to The Trbun.

SYRACUSE, June e.-Tammany rep
resentatives we're victorious in the
opening skiimishes in the battle over
the Democratic state chairmanship
here to-day. The upstate delegates,
violently opposed to George r. Van
Nance, the Tammany choice, were un-
able to agree. on a candidate to replace
William w. Farley, of Binghamton.
Farley told delegates he would not take
the job again "if it was handed him on
silver platter"
AS a result it is believed Van Nance
will be elected at the meeting of the
committee within the next month
The chalrmanship affair was not
mentioned on the Aoor Of the confer
cnce attended by between one hundred
and two hundred upstate leaders, but
it was the sole topic of discussion in
private conferences before the meeting
was called.
The upstaters are in open revolt
against Tammany's efforts to seize
party control. Because they believe Van
Nance bears the Murphy stamp, they
are unalterably opposed to him, and
are prepared to go to any lengths to
prevent his appointment.
The counter stroke they are prepar-
ing is to withdraw support from Alfred
Z. Smith for the Governorship nomina-
tion in case Van Nance is named and
back Representative Peter G. Ten Eyck,
OF Albany.
The real stumbling block, however,
is their inability to agree upon can
didate for chairman. They wanted
Charles Z. Norris, of Carthage, but he
refused. Former State Senator T. Har-
vey Ferris, of Utica, also declined
Other names mentioned were Louis
Desbecker, of Buffalo; Edwin Corning
of Albany, and Robert J. Powers, OF
Binghamton.
Mr.. Van Nance declared he had not
announced his candidacy and had not
said he would like to be state chair
man, but despite this William Church
Osborn, VINO has eyes on the nomina-
tion for United States Senator, was
actively working for Mr.. Van Nance
This is the first time in Mr.. Osborn's
political career that he has worked
side by side with Tammany. Mr.. Os-
born and Mr.. Van Nance are associ-
ated with the same law firm in New
York City.
Naming of Mr. Van Nance. as now
seems probable, would not only pave
the way for Mr.. Osborn's nomina-
ton, but also would make almost GER
tain the nomination of Mr.. Smith fol-
Governor. Failure on the part of the
up-staters to agree on a chairman
would mean that MY. Smith, backed
by Tammany, would eventually "put
over" Mr.. Van Nance regardless OF
the efforts of the upstate leaders tc

Varotta Suspect Insists
He Was Bent ON Robbery

An Italian who described himself as
Giovanni Barbato, twenty-nine years
ola, was arrested yesterday morning
by detectives of the Italian squad in
the apartment of Salvatore Varotta,
354 East Thirteenth Street.
Barbato, who is said by the police to
have a long criminal record, denied all
knowledge of the kidnapping of five
year-old Giuseppe Varotta, who has
been missing for two weeks. He de-
clared that he went there with the in
tention of robbing the Varotta apart
ment. A jimmy and $3.50 were found
on Barbato when searched at Police
Headquarters.
He was arraigned later before Mag
istrate Joseph S. Schwab and held
without bail on the charge of unlawful

He said, however, prosecutions would

The desk OF Assistant District At

a demijohn, q jug, two bottles and a
flask, all containing alleged whisky,
and a shaker reminiscent of cocktail

IN gthe evidence, Justice Borst held
the shaker and flask in either hand.

The invitation created merriment in
