NEW YORK, June 1.-The Trio.
ane's Albany special says: A regu-
lar conference of Administration
men was held this evening, at
which u determination was reached
not to attempt any confirmation of
candidates in to.morr0w's ballot
ing. This decision was had after q
long aud friendly discussion. 1t
was thought at to walt until can
didates having one, two aud more
votes should have been dropped and
their support merged in that of the
most prominent candidates. 1t is
believed that this will soon take
place and that the concentration
can be arranged tomorrow night,
to be made on Thursdays ballot
ing. Not a great deal of change,
therefore, is anticipated in to.mor.
rows balloting. Judge Robertson
expects the whole matter to come
to a head on Thursday.
The Conkling leaders held
small caucus and made canvass eff
the Legislature to determine
whether they could maintain a
deadlock. 1t is understood that
they came to the conclusion that
this could not be dene. Another
canvass was made to see whether,
with the aid Of the Democrats, they
could adjourn the Legislature, and
NO conclusion was reached. These
discoveries intensified the pressure
upon Governor Cornell to get him
to withdraw In q public letter,
There are evidences that this pres
sure has been very strong tonight.
The argument of the Conkling
leaders Is that he has twenty.one
votes and must transfer them to
Mr.. COnkling.
