Especial Dispatch to the Euentng Starl
ALBANY. N. Y, June 3.-The entire atten-
tion of all the factions in the senatorial con.
test is now turned to the movement to COM
bine the half breed administration vote with
Gov. Cornell's faction of the stalwarts, and the
ehectual union OF their interests will break
the dead lock and elect Cornell and Depew Z.
s. Senator'S Up to this time Gov. Cornell has
refused to assent to becoming party TO such
an alliance, but as matters are now drifting it
seems inevitable that he will be ultimately
drawn Ia. This, however, depends on the
ability OF the administration side to combine
Conkling upon one Of their candidates, as an
associate with Mr.. Cornell Mr.. Depew is tue
strongest OF the half-breeds. but there are
reasons why combination on him is
appears to furnish as good a prospect of union
as Mr.. Depew. ALI admit that 1t will be i'm
possible TO break the dead lock except by
taking person identified with the staiWarts
that class that promises sufficient strength to
make combination success. The friends OF
Gov. Cornell are among the strongest workers
for Mr.. Conkling, and ii he can be induced to
enter the contest it will withdraw much OF the
strongest support that Mr.. Conkling has. The
stalwartS fear that alliance more than any

Further efforts are to be made In the balloting

another step toward securing combination on

that be will lose some OF his votes on account
OF that effort. Stories are In circulation this
morning among the half breeds that Gov. Cor

and that preach has taken place between
them. The stalwarts positively deny it. As
affairs are now running Gov. Cornell will have

TSecond DtspatchI
In the ballot TO- day ConkltDg gained one and
Platt two votes. The vote for Cornell fell off for
the short term and Depew remained the same
fS Tor the long term as yesterday, showing that
made no headway. The half stalwarts VINO
had been voting for Cornell left him for Lap
ham, while for the long term Congressman
had been voting for Cornell and the scattering
vote, making MIN 10. Both the Depew aud
Cornell mo1natfon have apparently received
check TO day. Platt and Depew are now even
all republican contestants for the short term
