Clash Feared at College Point Tonight as Result of Rival Political Meetings. There will be lively doings at College Point to-night, it is expected, and the police reserves have been ordered kept in readiness so that they can be called out at a moment's notice. There is a big political fight being waged there bo-tween the Bermel-Cassidy and the Mara-Harvey-Gresser faction. Richard Will-lams, who is leading the fight for Cas-sidy, hired Turn Hall, the largest assembly room in the village, for the entire week, so that the followers of Borough President Cresses could not secure It for a mass meeting. Tho Gresser people, however, secured Schiller's Hall, across the street, and an nounced that a mnss meeting would be held there last night.

Williams learned this, and he, too, came out with I he announcement that the CaHsldy men would also hold a mass meeting the same evening. The Gresser men did not want to get into any controversy with the Cassidy faction, so they postponed their meeting until to-night. Williams also got on the Job and sent out notices that his followers had also postponed their meeting until to-night. As there Is only one more day to nou a meeting before the primaries, the residents believe that to-night's meetings will not bo postponed, and they are anticipating a lively session. Among the men who will speak ror Gresser are Municipal Court Justice William Rasquin.

Mrs. Dosia Carvener tells us how this was done in Dixie in the good old times. As soon as Mr. Possum was killed ho was doused into a boiler of hot water into which was thrown a couple of shovelfuls of wood ashes to make the hair slip, so it would come off readily. The possum was scraped until almost as white as paper.

Then he was slit open and drawn and washed clean with plenty of cold water. Next some potatoes were pared, sweet ones, of course, and put in with him, and he was sewed up, put in a kettle of hot water and kept slowly boiling until ten der, which look about two hours If the possum was young and tender. Then he was taken from tho kettle and placed In a baking pan with some boiled sweet potatoes. The pan was then set in the oven and the possum covered with plenty ot butter and sprinkled with salt and pepper. The oven was always good and hot, so as to brown the possum nicely.

WOULD RETURN WITH WOGAN. Speaker in Ninth A. D. Fight Says Subway League Was Organized for Political Purposes. An enrolled Republican addressing a Democratic primary meeting was the unusual Incident which proved the feature of the meeting of the Wogan Democrats, of the Ninth Assembly District last night at Rice's Hall, Third avenue and Forty-second street.

The speaker was Marcus Wolff, a blind man, who explained that he had formerly been a Democrat, but had become so disgusted with the party under the district leadership of William A. Doyle that he had left the party and Joined the Republicans. He predicted that with the election of Thomas F. Wogan as leader local party conditions would improve to such a degree that ha would ho glad to return to his first allegiance. Timothy Hyland presided over the meeting, which was well attended and enthusiastic.

The blind orator was th first speaker, and was followed by Peter Donnelly, who devoted his remarks to. the action of tile Subway Dengue oil Wednesday night in indorsing Mr. Doyle for the district leadership. "When the Koyle men organized th Subway League a year ago," he said, "I declared publicly, and I have said It many times since, that the league was Intended, only for political purposes. My state- ment has been amply verified.

The leagui gets busy suddenly at primary time, and. It cares more about William A. Doyle's control of the party machinery and Joha A. lleffcrnnn's boom for borough president than it does about the Fourth avenue subway. The public will not be deceived by such a pretense." Herman G.

Rabinnwllz talked of thu need for party regularity. Assistant Cor-poratlon Counsel James T. O'Neill followed with a plea for Democratic harmony. He declared that harmony was necessary for success, told of the victories of the party in county and stats It united fl nd DOWCrflll, and discussed the accomplishments and plans or the recent uemocratic cumeiumu -Saratoga. Thomas F.

Wogan was the final speaker. He discussed the "carpet-bagger" issue briefly, stating that he had lived in th neighborhood for twenty-two years, anil' calling his hearers to witness that, many of them had known him personally for nil of that. time. He said that It was no fault of his if th Legislature had cut mm out oi tne ui trict. Doyle is making all the tapil be can out of the subway.

The dough will be as light as a feather and not soggy. Potted Pigeons. This is an old-time that Is well worth trying. Take pigeons that are not very young: truss them carefully, place slices of bacon on the bottom of a stewpan and lay the pigeons in, side by side, breast up.

The largest political meeting held In this primary fight In the Twenty-second Assembly District was held In Koerner'B Hall, Fulton and Crescent streets last night. The speakers were James P. Sln- nott, Democratic leader of the district James O'Brien and John Rice. Mr. Sin- nott stated that his opnonent.

Robert F. Craig, had seen fit to engage in per sonalities ana mud slinging, and therefore he was compelled, in Justice to himself and his organization, to make an swer to Mr. Craig's attacks in as strong language as possioie. "I have nothing to retract for what I have said in this campaign," said Mr. Slnnott.

"What I have told the voters I can back up by sworn affidavits and copies of the City Record. Why don't uraig answer the letter of Chief En gineer Ward of the Topographical De partment to the commissioner of public works which I have been reading nightly and which shows Mr. Craig up in a not very enviable light. Why don't Mr. Liraig explain his real interest in hi civic activity?" COLGAN MEN IN PARADE.

Primary Campaign in Second A. Wound Up With a Brilliant Pageant. By way of supplementing their oratory and the many mass meetings they have held during the-present primary campaign, the adherents of George A. Col- gan, the home rule and harmony candidate for leader, marched through the streets of the Second Assembly District last night in a big torchlight and red-lira parade. When the pageant started from the headquarters of the Pearl Pleasure Club, at Pearl and Prospect streets, shortly after 8 o'clock, more than half a dozen organizations, three or four bands and long lines of decorated wagons and carriages, bearing voters who were too tired to march, swung in line and marched to Sands street, to the headquarters of the Second Assembly District Democratic Club.

Among the organizations whose members marched in a body, each division headed by the banner of the respective aggregation, were the James A. Harri-gan Association, the Second Assembly District Democratic Club, the James Brown Association, the Wholesale News dealers Employes Association, the Young Men's Italian-American Democratic Club, the Riverside Social Club, the James W. Lewis Association, the Red Light Social Club, the John McCue Association, the Eugene Diamond Association, the Green Lights Social Club and the Samuel J. Woodburn Association. GLINNEN MEN FOR MCQUADE.

Desert Standard of Their Leader and March in Body to Opponent's Camp. McCarrenism and the treachery of Edward Gllnnen were the subjects discussed last night at a rousing meeting of the followers of James A. McQuade, who la contesting the Democratic leadership of the Fifteenth Assembly District with tho present executive member, William Carpenter. The meeting was held in Lough-lin Lyceum, on North Henry Btreet, and the hall was crowded. Addresses were made by John McAskill, Thomas Wllmot, Lawrence Cavo.

Joseph M. Lawrence and the candidate, James A. McQuade. Mr. McQuade said that for more than three years an earnest effort had been made to rid the Democratic party of McCarrenism.

He challenged Carpenter and Gllnnen to meet him on any platform, or even in their own headquarters, and prove the truth of their campaign assertions. In concluding he earnestly urged the importance of keeping up the fight against McCarren's leadership In the county If Democratic victory was ever to return to Kings County. During the meeting great enthusiasm was caused by the entry of the members of Edward Gllnnen's club, who had just met in their headquarters, passed resolutions denouncing Gllnnen's action and marched in a body to the McQuade meeting. HEFFERNAN CONFIDENT. Friends Predict He Will Beat Kin-sella by 3,200 to 700 Next Tuesday.

One of the most successful mass meetings which Alderman William J. Heffer-nan has yet held In his fight for the Democratic leadership of the Seventh Assembly District was held last night In a hall at Ninth avenue and Nineteenth street, in the district known as Prospect Hill, So large a crowd turned out to hear the alderman and the other speakers of the evening that It was found necessary to close the doors and not admit another person, the attendance being close to 1,000. At the close the Heffer-nan men were saying that their candidate at the primary election next Tuesday would receive 3,200 votes to William H. Kinsella's 700. Alderman Heffernan delivered the main address of the evening during the course ot which he resented what he called William A.

Doyle's interference in the district on behalf of Klnsella, Doyle being Wogan's contender In the neighboring Ninth District. Referring to the oft-repeated assertion that in case Wogan was unsuccessful in the Ninth he would return to the Seventh and resume his leadership there, the alderman exclaimed that he was the mouthpiece of no man, that he would be executive member in every sense of the word, that in case Wogan should return to the district he, Hetlernan. would be the first to fight him and ihat the result would be political oblivion for Wogan. When this statement was made the cheering lasted for several moments. Ex-Assemblyman McMahon also made a strong speech which was applauded.

Mr. McMahon said that in his opinion Justice Gaynor was the only man to be nominated by the Democrats this fall for mayor and that his nomination was the only hope of the taxpayers and the Democrats nf the ritr SITS II. M. ALDER 1 i. a a He Will Find His Hands Tied.

would be packed, Congressman Young and Assembly' man Green Plead for Election of Anti-Murphy Candidates. Whether the Democrat nominate Jus tice Gaynor or a man equally distinguished for mayor, makes no difference in the opinion of the Republicans of the Twelfth Assembly District, for the rest of I the ticket will be loaded by Tammany Hall and the mayor, if elected, will find his hands tied, end the people will again be runcoed. It was Representative William Cslder who expressed the above at last night's meeting of the dl't-tct dub at tb clubhouse on Ninth straat and his speedx was indorsed by RcprMsiatlve Richard Young, Naval Officer Krarke Assemblyman George A. Green, Alderman Jobs Guntber and William J. Maxwell, all of whom ad: dressed the members of the club.

Congressman Calder made a etirring address In which he pointed out the fail, ui-e of Tammany administration, the Custom of their placing at thv bead of tjheir ticket a man of learning and hon-ysty, of their "packing" the rest of the icket and then, administration after ad- 'ministration, letting the people get the worst of the bargain. The congressman said that tfi'a year the people are not go-ins: to be blinded hv anv such tuba, that the Democratic party in fact will be held responsible for the maladministration from which the city is suffering. Assemblyman George Green referred to Justice Gaynor and made an analysis of his letter making public his willingness to run for mayor and seeing therein a willingness on the part of the judge to associate with Tammany Hall. He continued: "The Judge is given to using rather euphonious language. When you reduce his letter and translate It, it seems to read, 'I, Judge Gaynor, have made an arrangement with the boss of Tammany Hall, Charlie Murphy, that I shall be nominated by the Tammany Hall convention." The assemblyman also as-? serted that he believed in a two years term for members of the Assembly, so that they could be elected at the same time as the governor and state senators, when state issues are uppermost.

Naval Officer Kracke presented Congressman Calder with a very handsome gold loving cup. When the Eighteenth Assembly District Republican outing was held this summer there was a potato race between the Republican executive members of the county. Representative Calder. who always runs well at election time, entered the race and was successful in winning one of the prized. William J.

Maxwell, president of the club, not Ho be outdone also did a presentation Etunt. He presented Mr. Calder with a roe which he said had been handed prior to the meeting by a beautiful young woman who wished it given to the congressman. SHANAHAN TO FARRELL 'Accuses Present Leader of the Tenth With Selling His Organization to Tammany. The followers of John B.

Shanahan of the Tenth Assembly District, were out In great numbers last night, the occasion being an open air meeting held under the auspices of the Home Rule Organization cf Kings County, on the corners of Van-derbllt and St. Mark's avenues. This locality was packed with a big crowd of Shanahan enthusiasts, who took advantage of every opportunity to use their voices in hlB favor. At every mention of Mr. Shanahan's name, the audience save vent to their feelings in long and hearty cheers.

Judging from the demonstration which was only a repetition of past occasions, and from tho sentiments of most of those who have been intimately connected with Mr. Shanahan In his campaign, it is the belief of his most loyal supporters, that victory is already within their grasp. Herbert S. Worthley opened (he proceeding last evening by explaining the difference between good and bad Democrats, placing Mr. Farrell among the latter class.

John B. Shanahan made a rather lengthy but strong address, in which he repeatedly rapped Mr. Parrell's stand on the harmony question and his recent attitude in regard to the building code. "Mr. Farrell," eaid Mr.

Shanahan, "has refused the lead of the provisional committee which represents the Democratic party in Kings County. He has eaid that the plan Is illegal, but how be discovered its supposed illegality or what learned lawyer informed him of it, we have not heard. Mr. Farrell was foremost In tho scheme of harmony, that when the time came for him to lend his support to the plan, he led his district out of line, and tied his organization body and soul, hook and sinker, to Tammany Hall, believing, most likely, that for this action he would be made Tammany's principal agent In Kings County. "His connection with Tammany is clearly Illustrated in his recent stand on the buildin code, which was made up by Tammany agenta and would have boded no good to anyone but.

the hollow-tt tie trust. Its chief missile of destruction was directed against Brooklyn, by Increasing the cost of homes and thufl retarding its natural development. And lastly, gentlemen, this Is not a campaign of Individuals but of principles. Mr. Farrell represents one principle, I the opposite.

Mr. Farrell fosters disunion, I foster union. He is fighting for Tammany, while I am fighting for the principle of an independent Kings County organization." CARLIN MEN MEET. Thomas F. Byrnes Accused of Having Betrayed His Party.

The Hickory Club which is supporting V. J. Carlin for leader of the Eleventh District, held a mass meeting last night In Jackson Hall, 839 Kent avenue. The ball was filled. Pitted against Mr.

Carlin in the struggle for supremacy Is Thomas F. Byrnes, now leader of the district. Mr. Byrnes was charged with having betrayed his party and his county leader, Patrick H. iiiCarren.

Edmund Hennessy, the first orator of the evening, said among other things: "In 198 Mr. Byrnes was a delegate of the regular Democratic organization, of which Patrick McCarren was head. Without warning he went over to those who were fighting the county ticket. We are here to-night speaking irrespective of Mr. Byrnes and his followers, as individuals, but I consider it my duty to make the Democrats of the Eleventh Assembly District cognizant of the fact that Mr.

Byrnes betryaed them, betrayed the regular Democratic organization of Kings County and betrayed Patrick H. McCarren, who had helped him to climb the ladder thus far to success. I now charge Mr. Byrnes with treachery against the district organization, and if treachery does not purport to disrupt a party, then nothing can disrupt It." The other speakers of tho evening were: General Edward B. Barnum.

James W. Ridgway and Herbert S. Worthly. Roger P. Smyth presided over the meeting.

Mr. Carlin has issued a statement In which he puts the situation squarely before the voters of his district. KLEB MAKING HARD FIGHT. Hopes to Supplant Henry Hasenflug as Leader of the Nineteenth A. D.

The ten days of hard campaigning which Augus Kleb has been making among tho Democratic voters of the Nineteenth Assembly District In his renewed light against the leadership of Henry Hasenflug comes to a close tonight. The Btruggle has been a bitter one on either side, neither llasenllug nor Kleb having hesitated to Indulge publicly In personalities, and speakers for both factions have chimed right In with lots of mud-slinging.

Tho scarcity of game and the gilt-edged price no doubt add greatly to the enjoyment, giving the necessary relish that many of these spoils of the field actually need; unless we except the partridge, which requires no manipulation by a French chef to increase its excellence. The lover of a "hot bird" will advise roasting a partridge, in order to preserve its natural tenderness.

By roasting, you retain more of its juicy sweet savoriness. But a young bird, nicely broiled, is not to be regarded witn scant favor. But 'twere well it were done quickly, and basted generously, as in roasting, or the meat will be rather dry and tasteless. Partridges, pheasants, quails, are greatly improved In flavor If they are rolled in flour before they are roasted; and plenty of good fat, such as butter, bacon or ham fat, should be used co baste them. To Roast a Partridge No.

1. Prepare the partridge as you would chicken, but leaving the feet on, and scalding them and drawing off the skins. Skewer up the feet, cross them over the vent, lard the breast with the fat boiled ham and roast the birds over moderate fire for about forty minutes. Baste with butter before you take them up. Make a gravy frcm half a pint of white stock, two level tablespoonfuls each of flour and butter, or serve with bread sauce.

Garnish with slices of lemon. To Roast a Partridge No. 2. Dress and truss the bird, and cover the breast with green grape leaves, and over the leaves place a very thin strip bacon; then expose to a clear, quick fire to roast. Baste generously an frequently with butter.

Sprinkle lightly with flour. Serve with a rich brown sauce in a separata dish and a bread sauce in a bowl. Garnish with cress or curly parsley. Prairie Chicken. Clean and wash thoroughly In water with a little soda In It; then rinse In clear water several times, wipe dry and with a good plain dressing.

Tie tho wings and legs down with a cord, put In stewpan and cover closely. Use plenty butter and cook until tender; then place In a pan with butter and brown. Serve with tart Jelly. Squirrel Stew With Dumplings. Stew the squirrels until tender in water enough to cover well, adding salt and pepper to taste.

Then put in dumplings made as follows: In a pint of flour put a level teaspoonful of salt and a quarter of teaspoonful of soda. Mix well and then stir In enough fresh buttermilk to make a Crystal Domino Svgar. i METZ ABANDONS HIS DASH FOP. THE last night, and he introduced a long Vst of speakers, among them being Frank X. McCaffry, who has been termed a carpetbagger; Municipal Court Justice Charles J.

Altman and Francis McCloskey. The final meeting of the ante-primary campaign will be held to-night at 241 Floyd street. DUNNE MEN PARADE. Great Night in the Third A. D.

Democrats Opposed to Kane, for The Red Hook section of South Brooklyn was drowned in a sea of noise and red fire last evening, all for the glory of James Dunne, candidate for leader of the Third A. D. It was not the real Dunne club that had the parade but the small corner clubs made up of friends of the Sewer Commissioner, and Democrats who have no love for James Kane, the opposi tion candidate. It was a great celebration for the na tives of Red Hook and the adjoining parts. Tin horns, brass bands, cowbells, fish horns, skyrockets and a thousand pairs of boys lungs for all the eomins voters were out and had the time of their lives.

They didn't care so much lor the politics of it ae for the chance to run and see the red candles go off, march in line and chase each other. And to show their non-partisanship at the rear of the parade marched a line of boys each with a lettered placard. All taken together they spelled "Our Leader, James Kane." That was treason and mutiny for fair in a James Dunne parade, but the boys didn't care, they all had a good time regardless of nationality or politics. Spa ghetti boys marched with the Shlllol.ih ladB and little Norse Olafs walked shoulder to shoulder with the sons of Sicily, all to the glory of Jim Dunne. That was what the banners and the signs proclaimed.

They had transparencies, indicating their preferences for leader and the name of their particular corner club. The Well Fed Club led the list and after them came tho Piga Head Club, and between the two It was a draw. Then followed the Boys from Sullivans, and the William McKee Club, the Stephen F. Metcalf Association, the Dennis Sullivan Club and a dozen others, each with its brass band and rigs and trucks and squadron of small boys In front and on the sidewalk. The parade started at the corner of De-graw and Van Brunt and from there went up to Columbia street and to Atlantic avenue.

From mere the course went back to the real Hook district by the way of Hlckri street and past the headquarters of the Dunne forces on President street, near Court. DWYER MEN MEET TWICE. Coler Talks at One Gathering Before 75 Men Griffen-Hesterberg Regime Denounced. The Dwyerltes of the Eighteenth As sembly District, opposed to tho rule of Henry Hesterbcrg, the regular leader, held two meetings last evening. One held at 774 Nostrand avenue was attended by an audience of seventy-five.

Many addresses were made there. The principal one was delivered by Borough President Coler. City advertising in newspapers was his ain tonic.

He declared that he intended to parade men with signs before those newspaper offices this morning showing the money alleged to have been paid them.

At the second meeting at Troy avenue and St. John's place, the leading speaker was Commissioner John S. Griffith. Mr. Griffith denounced the McCooey-Hester- berg regime.

He attacked Hesterbery for not indorsing ex-Judge Steers for another term of office. In concluding he extolled the virtues of John F.

lawyer Cary Beads a Letter and Mr, Dorman Tells of Visit to i Enemy's Camp. The lure of the Tammany Tiger has been the actuating principle in the political life of William R. McGuire of the Water Department and ex-leader of the Sixth Assembly District, for the past five years, at least, according to William L. Cary, a lawyer and a brother-in-law of John J. Dorman of the Court of Special Sessions.

Cary was called by Mr. Dorman In a speech before the voters of the Sixth Assembly District, who had assembled in Fidelity Hall last night, DeKalb and Nostrand avenues, to listen to the de fenses of those men who have been variously characterized as welchers, traitors, figureheads and carpetbaggers by Mr. McGuire. Cary was to have been a sort character witness which Mr. Dorman put on the stand to testify that he was ot traitorous by nature or by anything lse.

He gave Dorman a good character, 11 right: but he went further than was xpected of him and told what he knew of McGuire, and it was not of the com plimentary kind, either. I will not leave it a question of word between McGuire and myself," said Cary. I have gone back and procured the rec ords. I hold in my hand a copy a let ter I wrote McGuire on aepiemner ii, 1908, just three years ago to-night. He h-H onrteavnred to out through a deal with Tammany Hall in favor of Frank Ulrich and had used my name on a circular to the effect that I was to be a candidate for a position in the corporation counsel's office.

It was explained to McGuire that there was no vacancy in that office, and he replied that William Hughes, now deceased, a man and a lawyer whom I esteemed very highly, should be deposed, and I given his place. I spurned any such deal and wroto this letter repudiating McGuire for once and all. He never can be a leader for me so long as I live. "The letter Is. In part, as follows: In 1904 you were elected to support Brooklyn autonomy; but you promptly delivered all you could that is yourself to Charles F.

Murphy. You attempted, but were unable, to deliver the members of the county committee not one would follow you. For attempts of this character you are mistrusted by the present county leader as you were mistrusted by the old county leader. 'That you are ready to seek office at any sacrifice I have had personal experience. You attempted to make arrangements whereby the man who is now opposing you and who opposed you in 1904 Bhould have your support with Charles Murphy for office, and in return therefor that I should receive an office.

When Informed of this attempt, as you and others know, I promptly declined to have anything whatever to do with In concluding his remarks. Mr. Cary answered the charge of McGuire that only office holders were opposed to him. "Why. there isn't a dollar that goes into the McGuire exchequer." Cary exclaimed, "that has not come out of the city treasury.

They are all officeholders. The men who are arrayed against him have demonstrated that they could earn a living without holding public office, but McGuire has been holding offices all his life." Dorman, who was charged with having tried to sell out to Murphy in 1906 in combination with I'lrich, invaded a McGuire meeting last Wednesday night, and those present in Fidelity Hall were eager to hear him tell of his experiences. Dorman said that he got into the hall all right, but that the chairman would not let him speak. Ho said he reiterated his request for a hearing four times, and each time was refused. Then he retired.

After he had gone, he said that he heard that McGuire got up and said: "Well, Dorman was here all right, but he didn't say anything, did he? He didn't deny the charges, did he?" said Dorman last night, "If I did not deny them that night, because I didn't get a chance to, I most emphatically deny them now." William P.
