New YORK, June 2.-The Times
special from Philadelphia says that the
New York delegation will be there en-
tire on Monday and Tuesday morning,
and will elect a Chairman, select COM
mitteemen and come to some determi-
nation as to Viee-President. There ap-
pears TO be some division of sentiment
among the delegates as to this, and it is
thought Henry Wilson will have a large
vote among them. ColfaX also has
strength and will probably receive near
ly half on the first ballot. William d.
Bickham, of the Ohio delegation, has
arrived and, announces that Craighead
has a letter from Governor DennisOn
Withdrawing as a candidate, and that

whole of this delegation. The Vice
Presidency is dubious, and although,

fax and Wilson, it is difficult to say who
will be chosen. The Connecticut dele
CATION has determined to bring forward
General Hawley, and he may be a COM
promise candidate.

tered the harbOr this spring; nor has a

ing, the health officer also explicitly de-
nies upon authority that any cholera eX-
lists at Havana; and humanely says:
