Many membera of the Central Federated I'nlon are connected wlth Tammany district organlzations, and the district leadera wlll use all thelr power to Influence such men.

Aa a meanfl Of auslng dlscontent and sus pl. lon ln the Central Federated Unlon, Tam? many men were apreadlng a report yesterday that John N. Paraona was Interested ln the movement to form a new polltlcal party for the beneflt of Charlea W. Dayton, the former post maater. Mr.

Dayton, It was said. wanted to be a Justice of the Bupreme Court, and because 'l many would not permlt hlm to have the regular Democratlc nominatlon for the offlce, he was r-ady to us- Mr. I'arsons ln the formation of a polltlcal party. Oppoattion to Mr. I'arsons was expressed last nlght at the meeting r.f th- Hiflceltaneottfl Scc tlon Of the Central Federated I'nion.

The man who aroae to declara bbnaelf opposed to Mr. I'arsons and his scheme to a new pollt? lcal party of worklngmen was Samuel Prince. i nt of tbe Central Federated I'nlon and a dyed In the wool Tammany Hall man. N'elther rst Workman Paraona nor Maater Workman Plnes, ho had charge of the late sur railroad atrilce, w.is preaent when Mr. Prince began his critldsm of Mr.

Paraona, in the followlng language: Paraona after trying to manage thls miserahle st.ik- says that he will take back seat and leave a commlttee ol organlaed labor m-n to care io the i ntral Federated I nlon. in words, he leaves ua a eorpse. He never consultcrl us about the strike. nor dld he at any 44 r-apable of handllng lt. There Is bound he snm- susplclon about tne.

I don't be? lieve in hls brand of polltlca The Btate Federatlon does all tiie polltlcal work wa lt fully able to look after the recorda of gialatora. Paraons ha4-? habltually hroken hls appolntments. and l.e has been very careleas where he should bava heen most careful.

Prince declared in hls remarks that he dld not the of ho'dlng a conventlon on Au? guat 7. formally to organlM the new labor party. As a resolutlon to call the conventlon was carrled unanlmoualy at last Punday's meet? ing of the Central Federated i'nion. he realized, however. that It was too late to make hls kick agalnal the conventlon now.

Emeat Bohra, Beoretary of the central Fed Unlon, aald that ha was not afrald of Oeneral Paraona'a being able to con? trol the convenflon. "We wlll have enough men there to prevent that." he added. Delegate Hrown said that the conventlon wouldn'l let Mr. Paraona get control of the new party Beveral other delecatee seemed or the opinion that whlle the formation of a new party would be a good thlng. the proper leader had not appeared aa yet In other words.

Hr. Paraona was not tha man to take th- leader shlp and if he attempted It there would be higgest kind of a row." dn th- other hand, It is in assured fact that Tamffl my Hall men, as Prince. wlll not be rmltted to cut much ice ln the new party unleaa they sooij Bwear their allegiance to it. They may try to Stampede tii- conventlon in the lntereats of Tammany Hall, but lf they attempt lt they wlll meet Btrong oppoaltton. LYXCHIXO ASD RACE BIOTB IX SOFTH.
