It was a child-woman with very large eyes, a wide mouth and slen- der, almost undersizeed, body that greeted the newspaper mea alone, She spoke confidently, almost with the airs of precocious womanhood, and yet about her whole aspect was the attitude of the child who feels re- straint before strangers. She was dressed richly and in a style evidently reflecting her untrammelled taste. “You must excuse my mother,” she Gr eegan. s very tired and nervous end I have told her that I had better talk to you instead of her because I have caused all the trouble.

PRIMARY FG BRNGS THREAT FROM GN, SULZE Executive Says He Will Take All Patronage from Foes of Bill. FINAL CLASH IS NEAR. Tammany Leaders, Backed by Barnes Machine, Declare Law Cannot Pass. By Martin Green. (S8ta® Correspondent of the Bvening World.) ALBANY, N. Y., April 2.—The person who first pulled the inquiry as to what would happen should an irresistible force collide with an immovable object should be here in Albany occupying the look- out’s chair. The answer is due before the end of the week. Gov, Sulzer, to hear him teil it, Is the irresistible force. The Tammany controlled Legisjature— according to the members thereof—is the immevable object. Unless something unforeseen oocurs the collision is inevitable. The Governor thinks the Legisiature wil back down and he is putting on He eent for a big up-State ‘day and announced to him: support my direct pri- wll Fu take away every penny of patronage you enjoy.” “@overnor, you wouldn't do that,” gasped the leader. “Fl do it unless you come to the front with your support by moon to-morrow.” The Jeader hasn't appeared. It is known that he tried to get Senators and Assemblymen who are under obil- Gations to him to promise they wouid support the Sulzer direct primary bill and they all refused, MUST KILL THE BILL OR DE- STROY THE ORGANIZATION. The Tammany leaders in the Le; ture say they will heve to kill t! ner bill or consent to the utter tlon of the organization, They charge that Gov. Sulser hasn't even read his own bill and doesn't understand what it means. They have gone to the Governor and offered him any sort of a compro- mise bill, but he says his bill goes or nothing, A provision of the bill which the Tam- many men say they cannot possibly stand for allows one per cent. of the en- rolled voters of an assembly district to sign the nomination papers of @ candi- date for office. In a district having 2,600 enrolled Democratic voters any politi+ clan with twenty-five friends could go out and get himself nominated to any *! office he might fancy. “Every corner saloon in my district would have @ candidate for every of- fice," sald a Tammany leader who |s here looking over the ground to-day. “Gov, Sulser has no political shame. He frankly confesses that he is playing practical politics, and Is using patronage and every club within reach of his hands, Thus far he hasn't given out his whole programme. The Tammany leaders profess to be- le t Gov, Sulzer is putting out the bluff of his career, But they are wor- ried, nevertheless. It is the first time the present generation of Tammany leaders has ever been up against a Gov- ernor who is looking for battle. LEADERS MAKE INFORMAL PLAN OF BATTLE, After the formal caucus which wound up long after midnight to-day the Democratic leaders got together and laid out an informal plan of battle. ‘When the Sulxer bill comes up to-mor- row as @ special order it Is likely that &@ final effort will be made to get the Governor to consent to ainondments in the measure. After that—wel!, the Gov- ernor says the bill will pass and the legislative leaders say it will not. Cer- tainly if all the Senators who say they will vote again®t the bill live up to their promises the bill will be buried, For tne firat time in ® generation, and even beyond, the Legislature is lined up against e practical politician, Odell and Black practical politi but they had the Legislature with them, | Weber, was at the table of Herman 4, Higgine was s practical politician, too (Continued on Second Page.)
