The Senatorial Deadlock-A Surprise for
 the Half-Breeds-The House V otes for
 Final Adjournment.
 ALBANY, July 14.-The stalwarts were ef- fectually scared in the joint convention to- day by the gains which the balloting showed for the caucus candidates, as shown by the action of some of their number in the Assem- bly, who voted with the Democrats for the passage of Mir. Newman's resolution provid- ing for final adjournment on Saturday at D. m. But one ballot was taken, the one for the short term resulting as follows: Lapham 70, Conkling 32 Woodford 1, Potter 54 On the Platt ballot Miller had 73 votes, Wheeler 12, Herman 54, there being IS scattering votes. Boardman and Sisson, who had pre- viously been voting for Wheeler, cast their votes for Miller. This made his friends anxious to take another ballot, but the stal- warts voted with the Democrats to adjourn.
 When the Senators had retired from the Assembly chamber MT. Newman (Dem called up his concurrent resolution to ad- journ sine de on Saturday at 3 D. m. MT. Husted moved that the Assembly now ad- journ. The stalwarts for the most part voted with the Democrats and defeated this mo- ton. The question then came up-on Mir. Newman's resolution, which was supported soidly by the Democrats and the following stalwarts: Armstrong, Brehm, Brodsky, E. A. Carpenter, Cul1inan, Dickey, Draper, Gillette, Hayes, Morgan, Trimble, H. H. Tut hill and Speaker Sharpe. The following stall warts voted against the resolution Bingham, Bradley, Campbell, Evans, Rowland, Hurd, Jackson, Nowlan, Williams. Messrs. Cowles and Potter, who voted for a similar resolu tion yesterday, voted against it to-day. It being evident that the resolution was lost, the stalwart managers then used every effort to turn some of their men who had voted in the negative, and succeeded in turning Bradley and Williams. This carried thel resolution, 62 to 61. Messrs. Peck. Crapser and Sisson were absent. At the vote yesterday MT. Sis son was absent, Mir. Peck voted against ad- iournment and MT. Crapser for it. The two latter were just outside the room while the ballot was taken to-day.
 Senator Robertson says the Senate will not pass the resolution. There are thirty two Senators, of whom seven are Democrats and nine stalwarts. If Mir. Forster and the stall warts voted with the Democrats for adjourn ment it would be carried.
 The true meaning of the adjournment movement on bae part O1 tue stdd"dTGs IS d last resort of desperation in view of the fact that Messrs. Miller and Lapham not only hold their own but make gains. The pro- gramme is said to be that if an adjournment is carried, then the Governor will cali the Legislature together again so late in the year that Messrs Miller and Lapham will not be available candidates on account of the short ness of time before the convening of Con- gress. The hope of the stalwarts is that they can then elect Conklinp
 The passage by the Assembly of the ex- journmert resolution caused considerable ad- citement. The Democrats threat to leave the joint convention to the Republicans had great deal of effect, notwithstanding that the proposition has not received enough votes to enable it to be presented to the stal- warts for formal action. The stalwarts say there will be neither an election or adjourn ment this week The half breeds claim there will be both The Democrats say there will be an adjournment whether there is an cleo tion or not. A close canvass of the leaders of all the factions indicates that there will probably be an election of one or both the half-breed conference caucus candidates to- morrow or Saturday and an adjournment on the latter day. The half-breeds have been in conference tonight and claim that they are assured of Miller's election tomorrow.
