3 FROM QUEENS BOROUGH AND ALL'1 LONG ISLAND ALL DENY CASSIDY IS IN NEW FACTION But Plans of Democratic "Opposition" Are Laid at ExBoss' Clubhouse. BOROUGH OFFICES TO FILL. Commissioner O'Leary May Resign After Primary-Commissionership of Public Buildings Vacant. The leaders who have placed a ticket in field to run against the men named by the regular Democratic organization in Queens arb doing everything in their I power to keep the name of "Joe" Cassidy, the ex-boss of Queens, out of the pri(mary fight. Not one of them who is in back of the insurgent movement will admit that Cassidy a say in designating the men to run the various nominahard tions on primary day.

"Why don't they select some other place besides Democratic Club in Long Island City," said a well- known Democrat of Queens today. "This organization has been back of Cassidy since consolidation. It they want us to believe that 'Joe' is not in the game they had better select some other meeting place. Cassidy is anxious to get back the game, and he wants to become a State Committeeman, If he is successful in selecting the delegates to the State Convention he will demand that he be given this position." Denis Harte, who has been designated to run for State Senator, has always been with Cassidy. Dr.

Johnston MacLeod, who has been named to run as candidate against Public Works Commissioner Denis O'Leary for Congressman in the Second District, is said to be the only man running on the "outs" ticket who! has never been identified with the Cassidy machine. He is well known in and around Flushing, and hag always taken an active interest in public affairs in that village. He was one of the most active workers in the recent campaign to raise $100.000 for a new hospital building in Flushing. Frederick W. Dunton of Jamaica, who has been named for County Clerk, was prominent in Democratic politics in the early days of consolidation when Cassidy had a say in the management of the party affairs.

Andrew Goetz of Ridgewood, designated for Sheriff, while he has been "on the outs with Cassidy" for several years, was at one time connected with his organization. It is said about Borough Hall, Long Island City, that Commissioner O'Leary will resign his position providing he is successful at the primaries. No one has been mentioned to succeed him. There another position to be filled by President Connolly before long. At the present time there is no Commissioner of Public Buildings in the borough.

This job was held down by Joseph Sullivan of Corona but he was asked to resign several months ago. Among those mentioned for this position is John F. Rogers, who formerly held the position. Leader Shea, it is understood, has submitted several names to the Borough President for this position, and it is expected that the name of the successful man will be announced within a few days. $750 RENTAL FOR PARK LAND.

Prendergast has caused the filing of a of sealed bids for the acquiring of of land in Freeport, potice, by that village, for the purpose of laying out a park.

SOCIETY ORGAN GRINDERS Two Brooklynites at Shelter land Aid Charity in a Merry Lark. (Special to The Eagle.) Shelter Island, N. August 31-Mrs. Jack Eldredge and Keith McVorr of Brooklyn, two well-known society leaders, had a jolly lark here yesterday, and in addition to the fun they had they also collected quite a sum of money for a worthy charity. Mr.

McVorr is a close friend of the Eldredge family, stopping here. Yesterday morning Mrs. Eldredge hired a. handorgan from a drifting musician, who happened. to be on the Island, and she and Mr.

McVorr dressed up disguise that some of their mest intimate friends could not fathom. Then they toured the resort, Mr. MeVorr grinding the organ while Mrst Eldredge passed the hat. After two hours of this fun, during which the summer colony was regaled with a large amount of music, Mrs. Eldredge tripped gayly into the ballroom at the Prospect, where Thomas G.

Austin was doing some work, and laughingly explained what she had been doing, and turned over to him about $16 for the Union Chapel. She knew that he was then arranging a big benefit for chapel and decided to help out in the good cause in the way mentioned. Some of her friends penetrated the disguise Mrs. Eldredge wore and contributed more liberally for her musical efforts than possibly they would, had it been a real daughter of Italy who was passing the soiled hat of Mr. McVorr.

A PEDAGOGICAL ROMANCE. Richmond Hill H. S. Teachers Are Married Now-It Was Expected. A romance which began in the Richmond Hill High School, before vacation started, culminated, it has been learned, marriage last Thursday, when Miss Elizabeth Conrow, head of the German department in the school, became the wife of Morris Crawford Valentine, teacher of biology in the same school.

The marriage, which took place in Manhattan, was a quiet one. Miss Conrow, who is very popular at Richmond Hill, taught in the High School about three years. Mr. Valentine went to the High School as a teacher more recently. From the first Mr.

Valentine took a deep interest in Miss Conrow, and others of the teaching staff, and some of the older girl students, when they saw the couple often together, nodded their heads wisely and whispered between themselves. Mrs. Valentine's plans for the future, 88 far as teaching is concerned, are not known. Those of her students who have learned of her marriage fear she will not return this fall. Mr.

Valentine, however, will continue his duties in the school. The couple will reside in Richmond BOY HAD NARROW ESCAPE. Sea Cliff Lad on Bicycle in Collision With Auto. Sea Cliff, L. August 31-Waldemar Meldorf, the 15-year-old son of Mr.

and Mrs. Edward Meldorf, narrowly escaped being killed yesterday when the bicycle on which he was riding down Prospect avenue and an automobile collided.

The accident occurred about 4 o'clock, opposite the conservatory of the John T. Pirle estate.

Young Meldorf was riding down the hill when the automobile owned by the Rev. Mr. Cooke of Oyster Bay, and driven by the latter's son, was coming from the opposite direction. According to witnesses, the driver of the machine steered it so far to one side to avoid the boy that part of the fence along the roadside wrecked. The boy was taken unconscious in the automobile to his home, where Drs.

Wahlig and Hadley attended his injuries, which, although painful, are not regarded as serious. EXPECT SOME FUN TONIGHT.

James will be the regularly designated Democratic candidate for Congress in the First Congressoinal District.

The contest was by the Builey faction jot Suffolk County Democrats at the Congressional convention. The delegates of the Bailey faction, ten in number, walked out following a fight over adjournment. The eleven remaining delegates designated Mr.

Brown for candidate for Congress. Later the minority delegates met and designated Rowland Miles of Northport, who refused, however, to accept the designation. Yesterday Mr. Miles appeared as attorney for Mr. Brown, and argued against the legality of his own designation.

In addition to Counsel Miles there were present at the hearing before Secretary of State Lazansky, the candidate, Lathrop Brown, Dr. C. I. Perry, George S. Emory, the chairman, and William F.

August 30, 1912. FROM SUFFOLK COUNTY bits of political printing, like the session laws and tax sales, are passed out, by law, to the two dominant parties. Should Roosevelt run either first or second and the Republicans third, some of the Republican papers now expecting a big plum will not be eligible, it is said. Some of the papers think there is a possibility that the above may happen, and while they want to support the machine candidates they are also wondering where they are going to get off. It would be a pleasant bit of pap to fall to the Patchogue Advance, the Sayville News and the Easthampton Star, the only three papers yet supporting Roosevelt.

All who know him agree that he is in an unusually clean and able man, and that he made a good record as Assemblyman. With the dissensions among the Democrats in the Senatorial District Mr.

Thompson ought to win, is the opinion of many. Ill omen as to succession hovers over the First Senatorial District. For one reason and another no candidate from this district has ever been re-elected. Two years ago there was Republican dissatisfaction in the nomination of Hubbs and some Republicans worked for Long, the Democrat. Now there is dissatisfaction over Long, who was refused a renomination, 50 it looks as though some Democrats would aid in Mr.

Thompson's election. It was conceded some weeks ago that the Democrats had an unusually fair show of carrying Suffolk this fall, but they are now fighting like Kilkenny cats, and, according to good political observers, are seriously weakening their former strong position. It is an anti-Murphy row that is attracting the most attention, is certain to get into the primaries and will undoubtedly be carried to the polls. The two factions of Democrats cannot 10 agree upon anythingthey're fighting on the congressional, senat and State convention' delegate matters in such way that no truce is looked looks now as though the Bailey- Murphy contingent would do to try to beat the independ- convention delegates- Jacob S.

Hewlett, Will Do Routine Work of Command in Croker's Absence. (Special to The Eagle.) Beach, L. August 31-At meeting held yesterday afternoon at the Nassau Hotel, at Long Beach, Edward F. Croker, former chief of the New York Fire Department, was elected president lot the Long Beach Fire Department, and given what amounts to absolute freedom In organizing and controlling it. The men whom Chief Croker will command are all wealthy residents of the Long Beach summer colony, who have recently constructed new villas and bungalows along the shore at that point.

In his appointment, Mr. Croker accepting, he intended to keep the men of his department busy with fire drills until late in the autumn. Personally, however, he is in no fear of needing their services as his new home at Long Beach will be absolutely fireproof. It is built entirely of concrete, and the finishings will be of metal. dinterior furniture covers, hangings, and other usually inflammable materials will be made of asbestos.

In addition to the election of Mr. Croker, other officers were elected as follows: Henry F. Cochrane, a Brooklyn lawyer, vice president; John C. Gerhard, Manhattan importer, recording secretary; A. T.

Smith, a Manhattan automobile manufacturer, financial secretary, and W. B. Wilson, a lace importer of Manhattan, treasurer. Charles F. Hewlett, chief of the Long Beach police, was elected acting fire chief in Mr.

Croker's absence. The roster of the regular members of the Long Beach Fire Department comprises men of all manner of business and occupation. Lew Dockstader, the minstrel man, is to be made one of the Battalion Chiefs, as his long experience in the "Darktown Department" is considered to have fitted him for this post. Nahan Franko, the orchestra leader, will furnish the music for the annual firemen's ball. Up to the present time the equipment has consisted of a few old hand hose carts.

These will soon be abatidoned, 48 Chief Croker has been voted $4,000 to purchase a combination automor bile truck, which he expects to have 01 beach within the next ten days. the The question of uniforms is bothering the members of the department at present. Several of the members favor the adoption of black cloth trousers, after the fashion of evening clothes. In this way, they say, it will be possible for them to go directly from A ball or dinner to a fire by merely slipping a red shirt over their swallowtails. The new administration will also puron the of the Nassau Hotel, the ohter chase two, siren whistles, one to be placed on the power house atation.

The Election Commissioners did a queer bit of reasoning this week. Because the designation of Lathrop Brown for Congress on the Democratic ticket was not signed by the regular officers of the congressional committee, the commissioners refused to file his certificate. The designation of Mr.

Miles, who is not willing to run, was filed, although this did not contain the name of the I congressional committee secretary, and was thus on a par with the Brown designation. It is said that Tammany, in effect, sent word to the commissioners not to receive the Brown designation, and Tammany was obeyed, although one of the commissioners is a Republican. Percy L. Housel, retained by Mr. Brown in the matter, told the commissioners they were running a branch of the Tammany headquarters and also told them they had no right.

to decide such questions, they being purely administrative ofeers and bound to receive and file anything that properly belonged in that office, withont acting as judge and jury on any question: then it would be up to the aggrieved party to test the right of their action. After all the Moose are only human. Some have had an idea they were either saintly or right next, but it appears to be an erroneous opinion. They are out to win, like the other parties, and if they cannot win without deals it is apparent they are ready to make deals. At the county convention the County Judge nomination was handed to Percy L.

Housel "on a platter." He refused to pick it off. He frankly says the only reason he did not take it was because he thought he would not get votes enough to be elected. Then a scheme was tried to nominate Rowland Miles. The convention would not have him. It was the idea, if he was nominated by the Moose, for the Democrats favorable to him and unfavorable to Mr.

Vunk, to place his name on the primary ballots by petition--all in an effort to "do" Mr. Vunk. And the proposed Moose nomination was actually A coalition betwen Democrats and Moose. As noted. the scheme failed of accomplishment, but now those who wanted to name Miles in the Moose convention say the only reason he was not named was because the Brookhaven Moose had made a previous coalition with Mr.

Vunk, through which nothing would be done that would injure his chances for tion. Verily, for fixing up schemes, the "machines" denounced by the Moose do not seem to have anything on the Moose, after all. Movement to Oust Democratic Leader in Nassau Is Widespread.

7 DROWNED AT ROCKAWAY POINT John Schiellein, Unable to Swim, Fell From Boat. Unable to swim himself, although employed as a boatman, and accompanied by a man who also could not swim, John Schiellein, 26 years old, of 211 Knickerbocker avenue, Brooklyn, was drowned at Rockaway Point last night, when a small boat he was loading was overturned. Schielleln, who was employed at Betz'8 Hotel, Rockaway Point, was trimming the boat with beer boxes that were being handed to him by a helper on the dock. He went down almost instantly as the boat capsized. His companion was compelled to stand by helplessly.

One of the small boats that ply between Rockaway Beach and Sheepshead Bay stood in to aid, but Schiellein's body failed to come to the surface again. The body was recovered at 6:30 this morning, just twelve hours after it sank. It was taken to the morgue of the Rockaway Beach police station and will be removed to Schiellein's home this afternoon.

T. U. Workers Disregarded by Hospital Benefit Dance Committee. (Special to The Eagle.) Babylon, L. August 31-The Babylon Hospital will profit to the extent of about $1,000 by the fancy dress ball which was a held in the Argyle Park Casino last night.

There was good representation of South Side society present and the affair was a success in every way. Many of the costumes were decidedly original and all were valuable in lending color and brilliancy to the little hall. As was expected, the efforts of those who thought to have the presence of liquor at the dance prohibited were unsuccessful, although no laws were broken in the distribution of the wine. Wine was served in a tent near the Casino, and payment was effected by the voluntary contributions. Although Mrs.

H. A. V. Babylon had threatened to be present and see that the law WAS not violated, she failed to put in an appearance. The dancing started about 10 o'clock and continued until nesrly 3 o'clock this morning.

A luncheon was served in a tent at midnight. Among the South Side people who were present were: Colonel and Mrs. Alfred Wagstaff, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Thomas, Mr.

THEY'RE ALL GREAT. HIT IN EVERY ACT. 1,000 DAILY MATINEE SEATS, 25c. (Special to The Eagle.) Mineola, L. August 31 There has never been, since Warry P.

Keith assumed leadership in Democratic politics in Nassau County, so determined an effort oust him from that leadership as there at the present time. Almost every faction is united with the one purpose of defeating, at the primaries to be held on September 17, the ticket designated. by county organization. Petitions have been circulated, not only county, but also in Suffolk County, and the enrolled voters of the Democratic the party will have the opportunity to vote for a full' organization ticket or the one opposed to the organization. The antiorganization ticket is headed by exCounty Judge Robert Seabury, who is one the strongest Democrats in the county.

The action of the faction opposed to Keith and the county organization is great surprise, for it was not expected that an effort be made to bave nominated a complete. ticket, as it was thought that the fight would narrow itselt down to a contest between Thomas H. 0'Keefe and Senator James Li. Long for the nomination to the Senate. Another surprise is the attempt of the opposition to nominate James E.

Kelly of Lawrence for Congress. Papers in his interest and in the interest of Senator Long circulated in Suffolk County, and filed were today with the Nassau County Election Commissioners. The county organization realizes that it has a stern fight on its hands, and the most sanguine members are not hopeful of carrying the All day yesterday the political workers were scouring the county to obtain signatures to the O'Keefe papers, as an independent petition was also fined today in his bebalt. This was done so that in the event of an adverse court decision on the question the legality of the designation of O'Keefe, he might be on the ballot at the primary. The faction opposing Keith and the county organization has nominated a full ticket, with three delegates to the State Convention, and alternates, and they are claiming that at the primaries they will be in control of the situation.

What giving Keith and the organization great concern is the defection of a number. prominent Democrats who were formerly closely allied with the County Committee. The slogan of the county organization for some time has been "Political autonomy for Nassau County," and the fight which Keith has waged against Tammany Hall; but the number of men who have allied themselves with the movement to oust Keith have never been identified with Tammany Hall, and are in the movement because they are dissatisfied at the way in which the conventions been held and because they are dissatisfied at the designation of the conventions. While Girdell V. Brower, from the south side of the Town of Hempstead, has been opposed to Keith for years, such men ex-Judge Seabury, Bertram Gardiner, Donald McKellar, William Stoffel and Augustus Van Cortlandt have been more or friendly with the Democratic organization, and have not been identified with designations, and their claim is that the ticket they are supporting is more representative.

Town of Oyster Bay the fight being led by ex-Senator Norton and Supervisor Cocks, and Edmond O'Connor, present Superintendent of Highways Town of North Hempstead, is waging the fight there.
