McCarren Keeps Control Amid Brooklyn Democratic Split
At the Kings County Democratic meeting an unsuccessful bid to reorganize the Brooklyn party aimed at removing Senator McCarren was led by a minority faction. McCarren delivered a bitter speech claiming he faced the last primaries as the issue and that county voters had upheld him. The reorganization plan was tabled by a large margin, signaling ongoing factional strife and a coming clash over leadership at a forthcoming Executive Committee meeting. Butler and other leaders may join the opposition if McCarren resists retirement.
