the OF the day great many dispatches
were received from Albany and other places
In the state Vcc-Presldent Arthur was with
tue ex-senator and assisted In whatever way could to
aid in the defeat OF Mr.. Laphan. Ex-senator Patt who
has been staying for some time with his family at the
Oriental Hotel Concy Island spent good part of the day
with Mr. Conking and last night remained the Fifth
Avenue Hotel to he near him. A. b. Johnson of Utica,
another OF Mr ConknS's confidential assistants, also

most cnt husastc OF Mr.. Conlng admrcra down

asked him If there would he election II Senator to-
day, Mr.. Halbcrt replied
" am not prophet II Of q prophet, but don't
think there will be any election tomorrow"
"Do you think there Will be one this week 2"
An In these trying times 1t is not safe to attempt
prediction of more than twenty -four hours ahead"
" Is there any truth in the that Mr.. Conkling
win Withdraw in fay OF some other Stalwartq"
" dolt take any stock In such reports" said Mr..
IIalbert and he then excused himself further
vcIsation on the subject, saying he not in position
to speak,
Another man, who was in Mr. Conkling's rooms, how
ever, was more free to speak OF his plans. He said
"Mr ConIling is bending every energy To prevent an
election and to adjourn the Legislature. He will then
make an active canvass OF the State this coming autumn
and he hopes by his speeches and in other ways to
bange public opinion rs to his return to the
Senate. II he cannot adjournment his next

"Who Is his choice :" asked the reporter.

CONKIING MAKING DESPERATE EFFOET-Assru
BLYMAN TUTIiILL PLEADS FOR THE LOST CAItsr
AN INDECIsIvE BALLOT.
lrROM REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE Tppunr !
ALBANY, July 1S.-Air. Conkling, after n fortnight
passed in seeming forgetfulness of the Senatorial
struggle, suddenly displays great energy in the con-
duct of his affairs here and calls upon his political
friends to come to his aid. Politicians say that his
present frantic efforts remind them of the useless
lashing of the sea by whale after receiving death
wound. Only persons living here can appreciotc
against what odds he now struggles TO save himself
from defeat. Upon one side are ranged 20 dis
heartened Republican members of the Legislature :.
on the other the whole influence of popular Ma
tional Administration, the only United States Sena-
tor, and Republican members exulting i'm their viz
tory Of Saturday.
Mr.. Conkllng, moreover, il said to favor an ad-
journment of the Legislature without that BODY elect
ing his successor But the obstacles to an
are far greater to-day than they were u week ago
In both Houses now the position of presiding officer
Is hlled by man firmly opposed to an adjourn
mcnt before the election of Senator Sneaker
Sharpe's views on the subject have changed with
marvellous rapidity since Mr.. Conklng's organs be-
gan to illng mud at him in revenge for his vote for
Mr.. Laphan on Saturday. There will bc no moro
opportunities offered in either Senate or Assembly
for Democrat to present adjournment reso-
luton.
bespite 'ncse obvious obstacles IN Mr.. Conklings
path, his supporters obedicntly resolved at their
conference this morning to continue voting for him.
The conference was attended by those of Mr.. Conk-
ungs supporters who voted for Mr.. Miller but bv
none OF those who voted for Mr. Lapham. Coming from
the conference to the Joint Convention, tney in
formed such Republican members as inquired about
their position that there would be no election of
Senator to-day. This was equivalent to saving
that while they had voted for Mr. Miller they had
not yet resolved to vote for Mr. Lapham. In two or
three days it is believed that they will make this
last resolve.
QUIET CONVENTION.
The proceedings of the Convention were tame.
everyone knowing that there would be no election
None of the Administration leaders had made any
effort to elect Mr.. Lapham. 1t was known that

sdered If there would be quorum of either
House present. An election Of United States Sem

an addition of twenty-four names on the

of more still coming. There is every
