Another Threatened Complication.

Should the serious illness OF Lieut.. Gov Hos
kins, OF New York, terminate In death, another
complication will be added to the trouble now
existing between the President and the New
York Senators over the collectorship nomlna-
tion for the port OF New York. AS Is well
Known. Judge Robertson. the nominee, is
member OF the New York Senate, but 1t is not
so generally known that he is also president
pro te7Hp0re Of that body. Hence, should
Lieut.. Gov. HCSkins de- Judge Robertson Will
beccme the lieutenant governor OF New York.
Some OF Senator Conkling's friends say In such
event Robertson would gladly consent to the
withdrawal OF his name for the collectorsnip
nomi1atlon. They even go further and say the
President would avail himself OF such contIn-
gency to harmonic the differences In the
party by withdrawing Robertson's name. The
friends of the President, on the other hand, Say
he will lot Withdraw Robertson even In the
event OF Lieut. Gov. Hoskins' death.
