DORSEY HAS STATEMENT

Although David T. Wilentz denies
that he will be a candidate for the
assembly on the Democratic ticket
and Senator Thomas Brown will
make no statement as to whether or
not he will be candidate for re-
election, political observers in the
CITY and county are of the opinion
that the new Democratic Club IN
this city, the forming of which
seemed to be leading to split in the
Democratic ranks, was formed with
the idea in view of supporting these
two candidates.
From a statement made last week
by Former Mayor Frank Dorsey,
president of the original Democratic
Club. everything seemed to be lead
ing to a wide split in the party as
far as this city is concerned, but
another statement today by the for
mer mayor can only carry one
meaning and that is, that no matter
what cost the party must be kept
together. II will give my whole
hearted support to any club said
Mr. Dorsey. His complete state
nent follows:
"On account of many business
interests my time is all taken up
and for this reason / feel that
cannot afford to give the necessary
time to political club. After con.
sul.ing with the officers and many
members of the original Democratic
Club, it was decided not to call "a
n,cetinc as suggested last week. III
NAV he to the interest of the party
to have only one club, and II that IS
true I will give my whole-hearted
snnnort to any Democratic club.
This statement from Mr.. Dorsey
will come as great surprise 10
many in the city, as it was peleVeu
that a feeling was being raised III
the party that would split it from
stem to stern. Just what the out
come of the statement VIII be. may
be shown tonight by those In the
audience at the meeting OF the New
Democratic club. which is TO pc neiu
in the Boynton building over the
Ross store at 8 O'Clock. II larse
numbers of the former members OF
the original Democratic party are
nresent at this meeting. in all pro-
liability the new club will assume
the leadership but If the members
of the original club are conspicuous
by their absence. there is no doubt
hit the original Democratic club Will
be the leading organization.
The principal feature of the meet
ing tonight will be the speaker, VINO
according to President John ~
Toolan, is a prominent person IN
this state. The committee in charge
of this part of the program has
decided to hold the appearance ol
the speaker here a complete sur
nrise and for this reason has not
