WORKING FOR THREE MEN IN NEW-YOHK
EFFORTS IN BEHALF OF EvARrs MORTON AND HIS
CoCK--TIIE CONTEST GETTING WARM.
The political situation as regards the Senatorship
was practically unchanged yesterday. The Evarts
leaders continued to labor with Mr.. HiscOck to in-
duce him to withdraw, but without avail. Their
other principal effort has been directed to breaking
up the Morton front in New-York and Kings. Al
night il could not be ascertained that any dchnltc
results had been reached. The Morton leaders are
as confident as ever. Mr. Evarts's friends are,
however being strengt gthencd and eflectually COM
bned by reason of the work in band. and his can
vass IS a growing one There were three camps
here yesterday. The Morton camp had Its head
quarters at Senator Platts office the Hiscock camp
at his room at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and the
Miler-Evarts men at Senator Millers room.
Mr.. Evarts's Office in Wall-st. also centre OF
pol,t,cal movement but the activity was uptown.
Senator Miller Congressman Hiscock, Wadsworth
and Pavne and Congress sman-eect West renamed
in the city all day Senator Miller will remain
here through the week aud until the Senatorshp is
settled Messrs West and Wadsworth will go TO
Albany to-day, whittier ex-Speaker sloan precehed
them Yesterday, carrying such verbal messages
and instructions to his friends as Senator Miller
desired to send.
Ex-Attorney- General Russell started yesterday
for the interior of the State where he has a law
case to try. but expects to be in Albany about
Wednesday night. All attempts to secure MS
withdrawal in favor of Mr.. Evarts have been I'M
availing. He expresses himself as friendly TO
Evarts as against Morton, but nsts that to with
draw would be to give Mr.. Morton votes enough to
nominate him.
Ex-Governor Cornell, it is reported. will
90 to Albany during the week In
Mr. Morton's interest. There was
report yesterday that even ex-senator Platt would
90 to the State Capital, if necessary to Mr. Nor
tons success. This however, his friends say is not
true. Silas b. butcher, Dwight Lawrence and e1-
Marshal Payn are already on the ground, and have
opened Morton headquarters.
Congressman Hiscock departed for Washington
last evening and will not return unless the stua-
ton changes so as to demand his presence. Assem-
blyman Hendricks will start for Albany this morn
ing and Mr. Hiscocks candidacy will be left III the
hands of the members from his Congressional dis
trict. AssemblyInan Howe is already i'll Albany.
and the entire delegation from New-York and Kings
will 90 up to-day. Ex-senator Brdsall, who is re-
ported 10 favor Mr. Evarts. went TO Albany yestcr-
day, and ex-Asseplblyman Young, OF Queens VIII
follow him to-day.
Andrew 5. Draper, who was in Washington on
Sunday TO confer with President Arthur. returned
here quietly at night, and after call on Senator
Miller started for Albany tie il in dead earnest
for Lyarts and assured senator Miller that the
Arthur men over the State mad been heard from IN
sufficient numbers to make certain that they c3nln
be relied upon. The Presidents own attitude Is
not satisfactory. He is said to be utterly apa-
tbetic and Indifferent.
MIR Wadsworth SAID yesterday that word had
been received from the Arthur men that they would
support Mr.. Evarts. He added e." The organiza-
ton for NJ Eyarts rs being timely perfected; No
do not think Hlscock and Russell can stay in the
race very long,
THE MORTON PETITION.
The following is copy of the petition for Mr..
Morton that is being circulated for signatures
through the state:
The undersigned Republican electors o. the county OF
desire To give expression To our deep concern that
the approaching election OF United states senator shall
result as TO promote IN the largest degree the best IN
Of the country and the Republican party. The re

ture unite In the selection OF candidate whose past

factiona feeling faithful always and in fn accord win
the best and most advanced sentiment of his party aud
under all circumstances, In emergency giving his
timely and powerful support TO the promotion OF lts IN
teress and success without disparagng the merits of
other candidates wedo not hesitate To rconyic
tiOn that the election OF the Hon. Levi T. Morton would
certainly harmonic the many aud yarious conflict
ing interests within party. His sterling and solid
qualities everywhere recognized, and they have al
ways in marked degree characterized his public career
well his private life, and never more distinctly tnan
while occupying his present exalted position Minister
field
Senator Platt continues TO express the most pro-
found confidence OF Mortons election. and says that
this petition is beng nuinerously signed all over
the State
EVENING TALK AT THE FIFTH AVENUE.
Among the politicians about the Fifth Avenue
Hotel last evening were General Anson G. McCook,
Captain Chester 5. Cole Assemblyman Williams of
Dunkirk. Assembyman Carlisle of Newburg,
General Patrick Jones. Senator Daggett. General
I. w. Conway, ext Congressman Adams Of CohUes.
General \. NJ. Curtis of 81. Lawrence, and Ex-
is still undecided as To his own course that sher-
man >. Rogers. James ID. Warren and Frank His
cock arc much talked OF IN his county, as well as
Mi. Evarts and Mr. Morton. The newspapers
vOcing public sentiment, prefer Evars but would
be satisfied with Morton. Assemblyman Carlisle
has been set down for Evarts, but says bis per-
brought in brisk Morton breeze with him. None
of his constituents he says, Lave yet venturcd to
write him to vote for Mr. EvaIts Ex-Coneressman
Adams IS also for Morton. lie said d" Ii
choosing Cabinet no one would question Mr.
Mortons fitness for the Treasury or Mr. Evarts for
the law department. The finance question, not
law, is to be the great issue in the Senate. 1t
strikes me Mr.. Morton is better fitted to deal with
II than Mr.. Lyarts"
