WARRING FACTIONS Latest Phases of the Disturbance in Local Democratio Hinks. THE DELEGATION TO KANSAS CITY Norris Men Declare It Will Be Instructed for Bryan. THE MEETING oe TONIGHT The democratic central, committee will meet tonight at Meyer's Hotei, Penns, |- vania avenue between’ 44 and 6th streets, to receive a report from the subcommittee created at the last meeting to draw up rules to govern the primary elections to be held April 10. It is believed that the sub- committee's recommeridations will closely follow the regulations that have governed such elections in the past. They will be held for the purpose of choosing three dele+ gates and three alternates tq a convention to be held April 17 at the Academy of Music, which body will select six delegates and six alternates to the democratic na- tional convention, which meets July 4 at Kansas City. It is believed that the differences between the two factions in the -loeal- democracy which are distinguishéd“a& the Norris and Holmead factions will have their final bat- tle at the primaries and accordingly both sides are girding their loins preparatory to the fight. Charges and Denials, The adherents of Mr. Holmead ‘have again put forward the statement that Mr, Norris is not a loyal Bryan man, and claim that he has already fixed up a glate to be pushed through the Academy cohvention, if such @ purpose cannot be fgustrated at the primaries which will determine the com- plexion of that gathering. The Norris sup- porters emphatically deny that their leader is in any way lukewarm in his support of Mr. Bryan, and with the exception of Vice Chairman John A. Clarke of the central committee declare that aby delegation sent to Kansas City from the Distriet of Co- lumbia will be instructed to vote for Bryan, Complexion of Ceniral Committee. The Norris people: now have absolute con- trol of the central committee, as the follow- ing list of members and their predilections will show. The first district is represented by Mr. Victor Beyer, who is seriously ill, and it is expected that his successor will be chosen tonight, as it is said that his phy- siclans have forbidden his taking any fur- ther active interest in affairs not absolutely necessary to his business demands. ‘The re- mainder of the districts, the men who rep- resent them and those Shey favor are as Third—Maher.

The successor to Mr. Thomas B. Kalb- fus, former chairman of the committee, as member from the eleventh district, is Mr. William T. Whalen, the author of “The Jeffersonian Banner” and other standard democratic song: e Bryanite. He was asked by a Star reporter today if he had any views on the pending differences in the ranks of local democra “Yes,” he responded, “some decided ones, In reference to this anti-Bryan agitation that is being fomented by the opponents of Mr. Norris I wish to state that it was orlg- inally started them at the beginning of this local canvass, and for the single pur- pose of obtaining an unfair and dishonest advantage over Mr. Norris and the men who supported him for national committee- man. “The withdrawal of Senator Gorman from being considered a national candidate pa: tially set it at re: and the seal of utter condemnation was fixed upon it by the democratic national committee, which, after hearing it, indorsed Mr. Norris and his loyalty by unanimously electing him a member. The resurrection of these con- temptible misrepresentations is only the expiring effort of a disappointed and rapid- y ing faction to perpetuate those differ- in the local democracy which should » eliminated in order to undivided support to William Jennings Bryan. “Speaking Individually,” said Mr. Whalen in conclusion, “and believing that I echo the sentiments of those who hav: nd are supporting Mr. Norris, I am in fayor of the District delegates being unqualifiedly in- to support William Jennings Mr. Scanlon Wants Harmony. Treasurer Michael B. Scanlon of the een- tral committee agreed with Mr, Whalen’s views when they were re¢ited to him. “Of course, the District delegates should be, and will be, instructed for Mr. Bryan,” he remarked. “So far as Mr. Norris is con- cerned not a one of his critics did a hun- dredth part as much to help Mr. Bryan's chances in the last campaign as he did, and the knowledge of that work was what made the national committed ignore the statements of John Boyle and the other rep- resentattves of Mr. Holmead. “I want to see harmony, and at the meet- ing at the Metropolitan Hotel I suggested the wisdom of sending a delegation to Kan- sas City composed of both Norris and Hol- mead men, but when Mr. Norris read the statement which had been made to the national committee by Mr, Andrew Lips- comb as attorney for Mr. Holmead I with- drew my suggestion.

With claims aggregating $115,000 filed against the estate and with not more than $65 to pay the same Justice Cole, holding the Probate Court, this afternoon signed an order closing the estate of the late John F. Chamberlin, the well-known hotel pro- prietor. ‘The action of the court was taken in compliance with a petition of Emily M. Chamberlin, administratrix. It is set forth that upon qualifying she at oncé made earnest and diligent effort to collect the claims of the deceased against various par- ties, with but poor success. Many of them, it is stated, had been carried on the books of the Chamberlin Hotel for some time, and the claims were worthless even during the lfetime of the deceased. ‘The administratrix explains that she has now on hand a balance of $76.31, from which there are court costs to be paid. Her local attorneys, she says, have served without remuneration. i The amount of,claims filed against the es- tate in this jurisdiction is nearly $15,000, and in New York $100,000. 5 Under the order of the court, after the payment of the costs, the administratrix will turn over the balance of money in her hands to her local attorneys. ‘The list of those indebted to the estate includes the names of potentates, stage celebrities and well-known personages in society and business. ——_———_ DISSENTING OPINION FILED. — ' Justice Shepard of Court of Appeals Disagre en With Colleagues, Im the case of the District of Columbia, plaintiff in error, against George Hazel, af- fecting the law relating to hack stands at railroad stations, the Court of Appeals Fri- day last remanded the cause to the Police Court, with directions to vacate its order quashing the information to deny the de- fendant’s motion to quash, and for further proceeding.
