NEW YORK, June 1S.-Conkling
and Platt are ut the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. The two ex-Senators re.
ceive few callers. Conkling was
found In his rooms, but was ex.
tremely reticent about speaking on
the subject of the Senatorial con.
test. He observed that the politi.
cal interests of the State were in
such q condition of chaos at pres.
ent that it would be imprudent for
him to speak on any subject and
especially one so Intimately con-
nected with the honor of those who
are concerned in the Investigation.
CoDkling said that any day might
bring about the climax which has
been so earnestly desired and 50
eagerly sought.
Gen. Grant refuses to converse on
politics and declares that his pres
ence in the city is due to his want
of rest, which he is hopeful of hav-
ing satisfied in the metropolis and
at Long Branch. The General
will in all probability leaye for the
seashore about the middle Of next
week.
The NeaOs says ex-Senators COnk.
ling and Platt and General Grant
met in Conkling's room at tn e
Fifth Avenue Hotel this forenoon
and were in consultation for one
bour. Messengers were then sent
out for Vice-President Arthur, John
w. Smith, Senator Jones and a
few others, including several local
politicians. The consultation did
not last long. Platt then
departed for his downtown Of
flee and the others scattered,
Conkling remaining with Grant.
1t was reported that some censid-
Grafton was given to the question
of whether it would be advisable
for Grant to go to Albany and it
was concluded that 1t would not
be helpful to Conkling. Another
point which il to be further con.
sidered tonight and tomorrow is
the possibility that compromise
will have to be made in order to
save one stelwart Senator and the
person upon whom the compro.
mise must fall. Conkling said he
would not 90 back to Washington
unless Plat went with him. His
friends urged him not to make this
irrevocabls decision but he said he
should adhere to it. Cornell's
name was considered In case
compromise should be necessary,
but Arthur strongly objected. The
only name that could find united
support was that of Grant. He
said he did not want Office. He
has Mexican railroad on his
hands and does not want to return
to active political life. He, how
ever, consented to keep the eues-
ton under advisemept One of
the principal matters to be consid-
cred by the stalwart leaders to-day
and tomorrow is the preparation
OF testimony for the investigating
com mittee next week.
Plat said to-day that some
startling developments might be
expected. ~ do not see how the
matter Is going to end. see no
immediate prospect of either an
election or an adjournment. De.
pew,s vote will break up next
