PLANS OF THE EX-SENATORS.


The friends of ex-senator Conklng hocked
about him yesterday at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, but no formal conference was held.
Mr.. Conkling sought opinions as to
his chances Of reelection, but did not
express his intentions with clearness. His inn
mediate friends believe that he will be can
didatc, and they declare that he will be re-
elected. Other politicians think that he will
withdraw when he sees defeat is certain. City
interests, it is said. will bc drawn into the
struggle. 4 Senator who still fingers in Wash
ington explains how Mr.. Platt is responsible
for the failure Of a singular plan Of compro-
mise.
