Name Prominently Mentioned.
ALBANY, May 29-Dispatches from
New York announced that Conkling and party
had left there on the p m. train, due, here
at 1910. crowd assembled to meet him.
The train was nineteen minutes late and his
party did not come There were no impor-
tant arrivals.
The situation is somewhat changed to- day
among the half breeds. They are bending
every energy to induce Cornell to meet Rob-
ertson and arrange to become the half-breed
candidate. The half-breeds guarantee all
their votes but possibly three. at least TWEEN
ty- five of the stalwart vote and some Demo-
cratic votes They tell Cornell he might as
well break from Conkling now as ever, and
that he will have to in the end anyway They
say Conkling has made up his mind that he
has been playing double and means to antag-
onize and worry him as much as possible, and
that nothing is to be gained by remaining
friendly any longer to Conkling, who they
say will persist in misunderstanding him.
1t is said that Cornell would like to go to the
Senate, and would consent but dislikes to place
himself in questionable attitude. It is said
that he has made up his mind that the first
time Conkling does or says anything openly
implying suspicion of his conduct towards
him in the present contest, the Governor
will make statement covering his conduct
and give his name to the half breeds. Rob
ertsen favors Cornelps candidacy and is anx-
iors to secure his consent. He believes it is
best to put Cornell up before the balloting
proceeds too far, as the Assemblymen after
protracted balloting get disposed to stick.
Robertson favors Cornell because he believes
he is sufficiently stalwart to salts
itical sense will influence him
to support the administration. Besides Ar
thurs hostility to him would drive him to the
administration side. The half-breeds blame
Arthur for filling Conklings mind with sus-
picion of Cornell. Those stalwarts who have
concluded that Conkling cannot be returned,
while they take no stock in Conklings sus-
picions of Cornell, still dislike to have him
go to Washington. They prefer to keep him
in New York, where his political ability is
needed to restore harmony in the Republican
party and secure its ascendancy. They fear
that if he goes and Hoskins succeeds
him it will be bad for party harmony They
suspect that Hoskins would be used to TO-
ment and continue party discord. They fear
that if Hoskins dies the president of the
state Senate, whoever he be, Will succeed
Robertson and therefore become Governor
He will be half breed of Objectionable type
and of little benefit to the party. These are
urging. the nomination of Silas B. Duts her,
superintendent of public works, Cornell
appointee and hard worker for Conkling.
they say butcher would be acceptable all
round. They guarantee Cornell the renomi
nation and re election if he consents to this
combination.
1t is rumored tonight that Cornell feels
that now is his chance and means to take it.
It is alleged that he believes Conkling will
continue stubborn in his suspicious of him
and will convince a strong enough following
his failure to defeat Cornel1s reelection as
fusal of support 1t is said, therefore, he
the nomination. Robertson says if he does
they will give him the long term and elect
him on the first ballot.
Conkling will be here on the 2:4O train to-
morrow. 81 has engaged rooms for that
date. Should Cornell 60 to the Senate and
Hoskins dying, Robertson as President pro
tenn of the Senate he would become Governor
for CornelPs unexpired term. Robertson
says he wouldn't take it, but will resign the
Office of president pro tenn of the Senate.
Soon this fight is over and let whoever is
elected have his successor meet and ELL that
emergency if it arises.
Senators Conkling and Platt and Vice Pres
ident Arthur left for Albany this evening on
the steamer Saratoga. The Senators thought
it would be pleasanter than by train, and
good nights sleep could be obtained. The
exodus to Albany will set in tomorrow.
