SULLIVAN DENIES ORDERING MEN TO SHUN PEACE MEET Benninger Hits Theofel as "Irregular Regular" in Hot Campaign Blast. Characterizing as "irregular regulars" and terming them "a mere handful of discordant notes," former Queens Park Commissioner Albert Benninger last night assailed John Theofel, Democratic executive committee chairman of Queens. and his followers for their tactics in the present primary fight. Theofel, Mr.

Benninger charged, while professing a desire for harmony, is doing everything in his power to disrupt further the Democratic forces of Queens. Cites Theofel Letter. In support of his contention, the former park head cited Theofel's letter urging the 2,500 members of the county committee to remain away from the meeting called at Fox's Jamaica Theater last Wednesday night. "The executive committee chairman," Mr. Benninger said, "by this action reversed his net stand of a few weeks ago, when' dared James Butler, county chairman, to call such a meeting.

At that time Theofel averred he could oust Butler from the chairmanship if the meeting was called. Hits "Red Ideas." "His letter gives the lie to his statement and reveals him clinging to the old line idea of hand-picked candidates and leaders, a procedure I have long opposed. He knows full well the 2,500 members of county committee are opposed to the ticket picked by him and a handful of irregular regulars. He and his followers are the discordant notes in the harmony move." Mr. Benninger, now aligned with the Clean Government Party, organized in support of Mayor Walker in 1925 by Transportation Commissioner Francis X.

Sullivan, retired as an independent candidate for Boro President last year and accepted Theofel as leader. Transportation Commissioner Sullivan also took occasion last night to on the county committee to remain deny having advised his supporters away from the meeting called by Butler. "There was need for my doing that." he said. no. "This is a primary fight, and the Clean Government Party is strong enough to stand on its own.

We have named others our candidates and feel no can compare with them. "Talking of harmony won't bring it about. I say, let the enrolled Democrats of the boro decide, the minority factions abide by the decision." Benninger says his withdrawal followed Theofel's promise that the county committee, and not the handful of members comprising the executive committee, would thereafter name leaders. This promise, Benn ninger charges, was not kept. The former park commissioner, leader of the 6th Assembly District for 12 years, joined the ranks of the Clean Government movement, designed to rid the party of the scandal element.

Regarding Theofel's continued harping on "regularity" Benninger said: the great majority of a party disown a leader, it seems to me they make up the regular forces and leave the leader an irregular. This is just what has hanpened, asmuch as Theofel has refused to heed demands that he retire from the picture. We are the regulars, and he is the Irregular." HITS GLASS IN STREETS.
