The interest in the Democratic Assembly conventions which were held last night in the twenty-three districts of Kings was principally in the First, Tweltth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth districts. Because- they voted against William F. Sheehan for United States Senator and showed insurgent tactics on other occasions, Assemblyman Terry, in the First, and Assemblyman Fry in the Twelfth districts were turned down for renomination. Former State Sena- Dr.

James H. McCabe was nominated in the First district. Whether he can get the independent Heights vote, which is a strong factor in the district, remains to be seen. Max Arens, of 532 Eighth street, a member of the law firm of Arens Pawel, of 271 Broadway, was nominated In the Twelfth Assembly District to succeed Sydney W. Fry.

Fry's name was not mentioned in the convention, al- Max Arens, Democrat Named in 12th District to Succeed Assemblyman Fry. though a letter from him, written from Saratoga, asking that he be presented as a candidate was in the possession of Secretary John J. Barnicle. Arens is 32 years of age, and is married. He is a graduate of the Brooklyn High School, and of Columbia Law School.

He is member of the Brooklyn Hebrew Federation. With Michael E. Butler in control, the organization wiped Fry off the map very neatly last night. The election district captains and their counselors met upstairs in the Ninth street clubhouse of the Twelfth District Republican Club, and decided that Arens was the man. The feeling openly expressed at the Paul Verman, Democratic Nominee for Assembly, Fifth A.

D. Twelfth District Club last night was that Fry deserved little from the organization. Fry was in Albany last night, and could not be seen. It was rumored by men fairly close to him that he would run independently, possibly with the Independence League indorsement. For several reasons the Democratic convention in the Ninth was adjourned until Friday night.

The Levy election law uncertainty was one. Another was that the leaders had not decided whether, to renominate Edmund O'Connor, the Independence League Assemblyman from the Ninth, or whether to put up a decision on the Levy law isn't handed straight Democrat. a Michael Fay. If the down by Friday night there will be further adjournment until Saturday night. Aldermanic convention tonight Alderman John Meagher will be renominated, and until O'Connor is able to indicate clearly that he can deliver the Independence vote for Meagher, the Democrats won't Indorse O'Connor, even if the Levy law gives them a right to do so.

There is a fight on against O'Connor's his leadership, and in his the ability to swing party voters Louis Goldstein, Bank Prober Renominated for Assembly by 23d District Democrats. Meagher's support is questioned today by Leader Tom Wogan and other Democratie leaders in the district. In the Fourteenth District, where MeKeon was defeated at the primaries for the leadership by Daniel Carroll, the latter nominated James A. Garvey, a business man, who resides at 32 Nassau avenue, thereby turning down Assemblyman James E. Fay, who has held office for many years.

James McQuade, the new leader of the Fifteenth District, presided over the convention there last night, and while under the new order of things it was expected that there would many candidates for the nomination, the convention wound up affairs in short order. Thomas A. Willmott, a lifelong resident of the Greenpoint section, was the unanimous choice. Willmott is president drew nomination Jackson is Club equivalent of Greenpointection in both the Fourteenth and Fifteenth districts. Other new men in the political feld nominated for offre by the Democrats were W.

The Nameoke Democratic Club of Queens County. at a large meeting held Tuesday night at the clubhouse, 440 Beech street, Richmond Hill, unanimously and amid much applause adopted a resolution calling for the nomination of Assistant District Attorney Wallace E.

J. Collins for district attorney. This is a beginning of a concerted fort to force nomination of Mr. Collins by political and civic bodies all over the county. The West End Italian Citizens League has already indorsed his candidacy.

Collins is a favorite with all Democratic and independent voters. The resolution of the Nameoke Democratic Club reads as follows: Whereas, At the coming election District Attorney is to be chosen for the County of Queens; be it Resolved, By the Nameoke Democratic Club of Queens County that all organizations of Queens County, political and civic, use their efforts toward effecting the nomination of Assistant District Attorney Wallace E. J. Collins, by the nominating bodies for the following reasons: 1. Mr.

Collins has performed all the duties of Assistant District Attorney with ability and signal success and has become familiar with the duties of this great office, and is therefore the logical successor to the present incumbent. 2. He has attracted widespread notice by his persistent and unremitting efforts to carry out the great principle that the District Attorney should protect the innocent as well as to punish the guilty. 3. He has disclosed great powers of Initiative in the performance of his duties, thus winning the encomiums of presiding judges.

4. It is consistent with public policy that one familiar with the duties of District Attorney be elected, thus avoiding mistakes and costly experiments; and be it Resolved, That the Nameoke Democratic Club indorses the nomination of Wallace E. J. Collins for District Attorney of Queens County, and will co-operate with any and all other bodies and citizens to bring about his nomination and subsequent election. A resolution of confidence in Lawrence Gresser was unanimously adopted by the club deploring his removal and protesting against the injury to Queens County thereby.

A resolution of sympathy for the Pennsylvania flood victims was also passed and subscription taken in their behalf. Acting Borough President Walter H. Bunn received applause when he seconded Wallace E. J. Collins for district attorney.

Ebbets in the Seventeenth District, but it did not materialize, though his election district voted against him.

Charles E. Francis was his opponent. Ebbets, Assemblyman Hoff in the Eight- Edward A. Ebbets, Renominated, Despite Opposition, for Assembly by Republicans of 17th District. eenth District, Lent in the Fifth, Ahern in the Tenth and Colne in the Eleventh were renominated.

All of the other candidates chosen last night were men practically new in politics with the possible exception of ex- Alderman Frank Bennett, who was selected to run in the Twentieth District. Bennett had a strong opponent in John J. Bulck. The vote was Bennett 49, Bulek 23. There was a contest between Henry Escher, and Daniel V.

Barnes for the nomination in the First District. Barnes won handily. Thomas O'Neill placed Barnes in nomination, emphasizing the fact that Barnes represented the sentiment of the independent voters of the district and that he would not be amenable to any boss. Henry Escher, was nominated and recommended as a man who had not been mixed up with the anti-Dady faction. Alexander M.

White made a speech advocating some further discussion of the candidates, but the convention proceeded to a vote at once and Barnes won 32 to 19, which was made unanimous. Barnes is a real estate dealer of 24 Schermerhorn street. Louis Miniz was nominated in the hopelessly Democratic Second District, where Assemblyman William Gillen will probably be renominated by the Democrats tonight. Miniz is a produce merchant. In the Third District, also strongly Democratic, the convention adjourned because it could not find a candidate.

They will try to hunt one up between now and Monday. The Republicans of the Fourth District named George Langhorst, a printer and an active party worker. Mr. Langhorst is 52 years old and lives at 133 Rutledge street. He served one term in the Assembly in 1902.

George Heiberger was unanimously nominated in the Sixth Assembly District. Heiberger last year stated that he was to have been the candidate from the Sixth, but was defeated at a captains' caucus held in a nearby club prior to the meeting of the convention. Heiberger was born in the old Seventh Ward, on December 24, 1861. was Ex-Alderman Frank Bennett, Nominated for the Assembly by Republicans of 20th Assembly District. educated in the schools of Brooklyn, and then entered the real estate business.

His present address is 451 Willoughby avenue. Charles F. Vachris, a contractor of 645 Fortieth street was named in the Seventh the opponent of Assemblyman Farrell. Vachris ran last year and made a good showing. In the absence of a suitable candidate.

the convention in the Eighth District was adjoined after the delegates had listened to the suffragists and to Leader Jacob Brenner. The next meeting will held Saturday night, at 318 Union street, the headquarters of the RepubliClub. Robert Banzhof, an active worker in the ranks, was picked in the Ninth Dis-. trict. which is Democratic by a big majority.

Frederick W. Singleton, who was for three years president of the South Brooklyn Board of Trade, was the choice for Assemblyman last night, of the Republicans of the Twelfth Assembly District. He was indorsed by Congressman Calder, leader of the district, in an appreciative It was said that he had a splendid chance of winning the election. He is a man of wide acquaintance, and is well liked throughout the district. Singleton is captain of Company of the Twenty-third Regiment.

He was an alderman of the old city of Brooklyn: was president of the Twenty-second Ward Association; of the South Brooklyn Board of Trade, and is a fire insurance broker by vocation. The vote in the Twelfth District that elected Fry, Democrat, was said last night to have been unusual and to have been in largely, due to the Democratic sweep over whole country, Normally the district is even or if anything Republican, and it was pointed out that Mr. E. R. W.

Karutz, Republican Candidate Assembly in 224 Singleton had an excellent chance to defeat Max Arens, the Democratic choice. William C. Grimmell, the candidate in the Fourteenth, is 45 years old and lives lat 94 North Ninth street. He has never held office but has been active in politics. Charles Schmitt, a lithograph pressman, 44 years old, and living at 73 Buswick avenue, was the candidate in the Thirteenth District where Philip T.

Williams presided. Schmitt has never held public office. In the Fifteenth District, Democratic, there was no candidate and the meeting adjourned until Wednesday next. Forrest Chilton, a well known attorney, was nominated in the Sixteenth District where Postmaster E. W.

Voorhles is leader. In this district the Independence League lined up with then Democrats in the Assembly fight and in that way secured the election of Senator Duhamel, their own candidate. Without some combination such as this the district is a close one, and friends of Mr. Chilton think he vill give Assemblyman Jameson a hard fight. In the Eighteenth District, last year, Assemblyman Hoff had little trouble defeating Edward Baruch.

No candidate was selected in the Nineteenth District nor in the Twenty-Argt, but in the Twenty, Edward R. W. Karutz, a lawyer of the Twentyeighth Ward was chosen. William F. Matthewson, brother of Deputy Controller Matthewson was nominated in the Twenty-third District.

RYDER PICTURES AT PRATT. Institute Opens Art Gallery Again. Miss Raymond's Return From West. The eighteen catalogued, but unnumbered, canvases Chauncey F. Ryder on exhibition at the Pratt Art Gallery, until October 14, are SO charged with that something which "takes nold of" one, something which may be specifically termed magnetism, that it does not matter at all that they are not numbered.

As to a Storm, Monhegan," one has no doubt about its message. Who has ever seen the mighty motion in the sea, after a storm has been passed, and been able to forget it. The painter of this action-scene, with its heaving, broken sea, its wonderful color and windswept sky, has not faltered in drawing and coloring this big, virile impression of one of Nature's mad scenes. "February" is equally strong in the impression note. The canvas is a great, cold, yet soft expanse of snow, broken by the stream which comes to the foreground.

The high horizon line has below it the blurred bulk of a house and barn and indistinct trees, while two or three slender trees in the foreground are fleecy with snow. The air is filled with snow, too, and there are ley, blue shadows in the stream in the foreground. The picture is built on broad lines, simple in composition, yet full of poetry. As a technician, Mr. Ryder needs no criticism.

His color responds to naturel, and is beautiful. The "Trail of the Woodchoppers" is one of those criptions of brutal warfare waged against the monarchs of the forest, which are sanctioned in this free country. Mr. Ryder has made a virile appeal, with his facile brush and clear judgment, to the public which will inspect this picture. Logs litter the foreground, and the dismembered trunks of two or three trees stand gaunt and grim among the ruin.

There are, in the distance, tree-belts lying calm and serene against the sky. A large canvas which greets a visitor's gaze on entering the gallery is so replete with the charm 01 composition, color, and technique that the small matter of not knowing what Mr. Ryder calls it is of no account. Although "Thanatopsis" seems fitting title for this unnamed picture, it grips as though its title was "Manana," or "Waning Day." There 1g an exquisite stretch of blue water, overlooked by a gray bowlder-strewn ground, with a mass of wind cedars thereon and a foreground of harmonious graygreen. The light key, the sky of illimitable distance, the charm and sweetness of the theme makes one feel that it would be more satisfactory to steal a picture of this kind, rather than the "Mona The other snow scenes of the collection are: "Winter at Trepied" and Afternoon." One has a group of snowcovered houses besides a road and within fence, and the other, a small canvas, reveals to perfection the light and the loneliness of an open country snow scene, Mr.

Ryder has an interesting way of choosing his views for reproduction. He selects just what is needed to make up a good picture. His composition is simple, yet everything is notable. He has large ways of looking at things, and the poetic idea is present at every point. He uses a telling brush and fine color.

The "Yellow Barn" is a delightful canvas. The tall trees of the road are almost bare, and the baro is an interesting color note with, beyond it, suggestions of the reddish trees of autumn. A road is in the foreground, and green sward and hills are far away. The "Pool in the Woods" is a smaller picture, and there is the dim twilight of the forest, the slender trunks, and the rocks green with moss, surrounding the pool. The "Farm in Springtime" is a small canvas with vibrating, fresh, tones, and "Blossom is a small, buoyant canvas with white bloom of trees, and a suggestion of a figure.

"October Fields," another small canvas, is an idyl of mellow color. "Lieutenant River Marshes," with a bit of blue water amid the brown, and "A Connecttcut Hillside" full of charm are interesting, as is "Cross-Cut Road," with farm house, yellow tree, and general "homey" atmosphere in trees and land-contours. A big canvas, "Nob Hill," has a fine tone of gray in the bowlders crowning it, and spread downward on the slope. A simple nobility stamps it and an opalescent sky is one of its great beauties. The smaller "Pirate Cove" is a strong piece of rock painting and water: the fastnesses of the cove might have easily harbored wicked old sea robbers.

Miss Julia E. Raymond of 175 Hooper street, known as a distinguished painter in water -color, has returned after an absence of six years, sketching and painting in California and in Hawaii. She has made a specialty of trees and has painted about forty pictures. Her travels took her to the highest part of California, and she has felt the chill of the air 8.000 feet above the sea. Her choice led her to paint in upper California, the sequoia, better known, perhaps, as the red woods, while in the southern part of the state she painted pictures of the eucalyptus trees.

Having accumulated about all the pictures she could take away with her, she returned On the way she received an invitation to exhibit at the Thurber galleries in Chicago somewhat more than half of her collection for two weeks, the exhibit to open in November. On her return to Brooklyn it is her intention to open an exhibition of her water colors, provided she can find a good place for them. CARTE AND TIERCE. He- What do you women do at your club?

Boston Transcript. SUFFRAGISTS ATTEND VARIOUS CONVENTIONS It Was Easy Sailing, and Only One Snag Was Struck. WOMEN PARADED IN AUTOS. Nice Little Tilt in the 13th Between Assemblyman Donnelly and a Fair Speaker. From the point of view of the suffragists themselves parade and raid on the men's conventions the twentyden a three Assembly districts of the borough was a howling success.

From the point of view of the public those of them who happened to see the twenty-three autos gayly decked in bunting and suffrage banners, the affair was a suffrage "joy ride," and from the point of view of small boy who had to scamper out of the way the of the long procession of wagons it was a crowd of women who are trying to be men. The small boy is not quite clear as to just how they are trying to be like men, but seemed last night to be shouting remarks that he had heard from his elders. The parade started at the Borough Hall, where the autos picked up their occupants. A march was made up Fulton street to Flatbush avenue and thence to Miss Mary E. Dreier, Who Figured in Last Night's Woman's Suf- frage Campaign.

the Park Plaza. There were red lights and torches in many of the automobiles. At the Plaza, the parade dispersed, the individual autos going to the various Assembly districts. A short meeting, when Alderman Harry Phillips of London and Mr. and Mrs.

Robert H. Elder spoke, was held at the Plaza. All of the men's conventions received the women the exception of the Thirteenth District and their arguments most favorably, is with Democratic Club. Mrs. Annie E.

Merritt and Miss Grace A. Raymond were the speakers for the Suftragists at this club. When Mis9 Raymond urged the men to instruct the candidates to vote favorably on the suffrage bill, Assemblyman John H. Donnelly rose to his feet and said that he did not wish to be instructed; that he did not believe in the suffragists and would not vote for the bill. He also added that he had been in the Legislature for number of years and that every time that the bill had come up he had voted against it.

He had hardly finished when Miss Raymond jumped up and said that that showed how much he knew about his business, as there had never been a suffrage bill before the Legislature. Mr. Donnelly challenged her to a debate on the subject, but Miss Raymond declined, saying she had too many districts to cover, but would be pleased to argue the matter with him some other time. Several of the districts visited had not elected a representative when the suffragist delegation reached the convention halls. They all promised, however, to do their best with the men that are chosen.

Representatives from nearly every civic body, taxpayers' organization, citizens' association, and board of trade in this borough met at five o'clock yesterday afternoon at the headquarters of the Brooklyn League, 44 Court street, to discuss the possibility of charter legislation in Albany previous to the adjournment of the Legislature. When It was proposed to send a lengthy telegram to certain senators, and some mention was made of the cost attending such a proceeding, should it be signed by all present, the delegates, with determination writ large upon their countenances, fairly showered dollar bills upon the president and treasurer of the league, In a very few moments there was enough money on hand to pay for, probably, a dozen such telegrams as were sent. Short talks were made by Charles F. Murphy, Elwin S. Piper, Dr.

George W. Brush, George W. Wilson and Guy Du Val, which resulted in the conference deciding to telegraph eight senators words of "congratulation" for the firm attitude maintained in opposition to the proposed charter. The eight recipients of this telegram were: Senators Dennis J. Harte, F.

Duhamel, Eugene M. Travis, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Stephen J. Sulwell, George B. Burd and Howard R.

-Louisville Courier -Journal. WEST END TRADE BOARD DISCUSSES LOCAL AFFAIRS J. J. O'Leary Tells the Members What He Has Heard About the Subway. NEW HIGH SCHOOL IN SPRING.

To Be Located at Senator Street and Fourth Avenue--The Eighth The Ward Market. District. The first meeting of the season of the West End Board of Trade was held last night at Fifty-fourth street and Third avenue. J. J.

O'Leary, president of the organization, gave a summary of the work accomplished during the summer months by a committee consisting of Mr. O'Leary and John B. Chinery, representing the Fourth Avenue Subway League, to take up the question of the supplemental report of the transit committee. He that the committe had interviewed Messrs. MeAneny, Cromwell stated, and Miller, and had urged the importance of carrying out the pledges to complete the subway to Fort Hamilton and Coney Island.

Mr. O'Leary said that he did not favor the plan of continuing the subway to Coney Island, as it would put an additional burden on the shoulders of the people, while the plan of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit to continue the elevated lines to the Island, via the Culver, Sea Beach and West End lines would be carried out at its own expense and would furnish the best solution of the problem. In regard to the question to whether the subway would be extended to Fort Hamilton, Eightysixth or Sixty-ninth street, he reported that according to unofficial reports from A reliable source, Eighty-sixth street would be the probable terminus, while the extension to Staten Island would branch off at Sixty-ninth street. Mr. O'Leary also reported in regard to the construction of a high school in Bay Ridge, that the architect of the Board of Education had been authorized to draw the plans for such a structure to be built at the corner of Senator street and Fourth avenue, and operations would be begun next spring.

The association has waged a vigorous fight for the erection of the Eighth Ward Market, but the appropriation for the construction of the Municipal Building has drawn away the funds available for that purpose until 1913, and every effort will be made to secure the market at that date. The rapid growth of South Brooklyn as a manufacturing center was touched upon, and suggestions were made that the members of the organization exercise their influence toward the construction of tenement houses in the district with cheap rent, to furnish accommodations for the rapidly increasing numbers of people employed at the Bush Terminal buildings.

The coloring of the hats for the fall and winter would lead one to suppose that the frocks would he somewhat on the same order and be subdued, but such is far from the case. All the pastel shades are used. There is not as much contrast of color in one gown, however, as there was last season, and altogether the gowns bid fair to be much more becoming than they have been for a long time. All of the frocks, both for afternoon and evening wear, show the long, graceful lines that the fashionable woman is loth to see go.

The skirts are fuller and much draping is used. There are almost no very tight skirts. The surplus is seen on many a dress and the fichu effect of the bodice is much used. The materials are mostly charmeuse, satins, chiffons and velvets. Chenille embroidery is used on many of the gowns in contrast to the material of the gown itself.

The display includes creations from the best dressmakers in Paris. Among them are Poiret, Drecoll, LeCroix, Robert Beers and Callot. Perhaps a detailed description of some of the handsomest gowns would give a clear idea of the whole display. These gowns attracted more attention than any in the whole collection. The gowns have a fitting background of autumn leaves and palms.

These are arranged to bring out the best points of each frock. From the salon of Paquin comes an evening gown of white satin, trimmed with cerise satin. The bodice of this frock is of Venetian lace, embroidered with pearls. The waist is made with a high girdle of the cerise satin, and the skirt is draped to form a train. Around teh hem of the skirt is a band of skunk fur.

One of the most stunning gowns bears the name of Robert Beers. This is of blue and gold brocade, cut decidedly decollete. The dress is sleeveless, but the bodice is of thread lace studded with turquoise. This is cut square on the shoulders and falls softly over in the new effect. The underskirt for this dress is of lace.

The train falls from the side and is of the brocade with a deep draped lace cascade over the train. The train is finished with a tassel of gold and turquoise beads. In a dainty color of lavender is a charmeuse gown by Paquin. The bodice for this is embroidered in crystal beads and the skirt falls over a drop of silver lace over white satin. Much embroidery and thread lace is used on this gown.

From Francis a frock is shown of black chiffon velvet studded with shadow beads and rhinestones. The stones are arranged in a sunburst on the bodice. Beers adds an amethyst satin dress over cerise. This gown shows the chenille embroidery on silk over gold lace. The skirt is veiled with.

in the amethyst shops of charmeuse. Abraham A Straus gown is of purple charmeuse. This has the surplus bodice the skirt is draped to follow the lines of the surplice. The waistline is normal and is finished with a crocheted silk buckle. WHY SHOULD I LIVE IN BROOKLYN? No.
