CLOSE WATCH ON M’CARREN. Acts of the New Head of the Organi- tion Reported to the Former Boss by Persons Who Go Back and Forth. There {s trouble brewing in the Demo- cratic Campaign Committee of Brooklyn which may result in an open break be- fore election. If it does John L. Shea, the chairman of the committee and the personal friend of Hugh McLaughlin, probably will find that he has been re- moved from the chairmanship by a vote of the Campaign Committse appointed to assist him in the running of campaign, The trouble ts that Shen refuses to vellove McLaughin js down and out, and, while in possession of the secrets of the [Campaign Committee and with Knowl- edge in his possession that is valuable ty the opponents of the regular ticket, is in dally communication with MoLaughlin. He ts in the position of the chief of staff of an army making daily trips to the camp of the enemy, Thus far the remarkable course pursued by Shea has caused nothing more than talk. Senator MoCarren has not spoken of the conduct of Shea and that of one or two other leaders who have left head- quarters and have gone direct to the headquarters of McLaughlin and have there been closeted with McLaughlin tn the litle sun parlor in the rear of the auction room.

Calls on Old Bons, Yesterday when Shea had made his trip to McLaughlin after having been about Democratic headquarters, several men said to be representatives of Jacob Brenner, the Republican campaign man- ager, were callers at the auction room. This fact became known at Demo- cratic Headquarters and was discussed tn @ manner uncomplimentary to Shea Tt was figured out that Shea had no right to call upon McLaughiin, that the old man had read himself out of the party, and that for Shea to visit and confer with him was something which could not be condoned.

The largest crowd of the even- ing attended thie meeting, and ‘t was here that the Magor took occasion ¢o hurl @ few remarks at the Borough President. The Mayor sald that Mr. Casatdy’s statement that he had secured the money for the Borough of Queene sin- gle-handed by corralling the sixteen members of the Board of Estimate, was like a soldier who captured twenty men and marched them Into camp, aingle- handed. “How did you capture all those men?" asked the captain, pa imi F surrounded them,” replied the man. “And so," continued the Mayor, ‘Mr. Cassidy surrounded the Board of sti- mate and marched us into camp. The truth Is that the money appropriated pers of ‘ y to Queens was voted by ull mem! the Board of Bstimate.

The committee, however, named a set of advisers for him, and these advisers are in the maiority, Senator McCarren {¥ running the campaign. Shea has as- serted ‘he is the chairman of the cam- paign committee, and the others have tolerated him. Not Trusted Much, ‘The result of his visit to McLaugh- lin. yesterday was that there wus a tighiening of the lines about head- uartors, and 4 general feeling that anything not found out by Shea woud not hurt him, McCarren had nothing to say about his trooping back and forth, but those Who know the Senator Would not, be astonished at any tUme e Mr. joCarren intimate to Mr. Shea that the Democratic campaign ig being run from the Jefferson Bullding, and, as Mr, Me- Laughlin is against the ticket, It would be better for Mr. Shea to confine his attention either to to the auction room.
