The Hoffman House VIII furnish accommodations
for the Democratic State Committee again this year,
but the date when it will open headquarters has not
yet been determined. Edward Murphy, jr, Of Troy
chairman Of the committee, expected here yeser
day to complete arrangements for opening the COM
mittee rooms hut did net appear. The Hoffman
House people are alarmed lest the campaign should
be opened carly and express the hope that the head
quarters will not be opened until August ]. 1t is
UNDERSTOOD that Mr.. Murphy does not intend to begin
active work until after that date.
There is a solid, mlddle-aeed German In charge Of
No. ID West Twenty ffthst. 1.-THE old Carlton Club,
which has been engaged by A. X. Whitney, treasurer
of the New-York County Committee, as headquarters
for the Republican National. State County and City
committees, but he had no information yesterday as
to when either committee would take charge Of any
of the apartments there. The new Republican Ma
tonal Committee, when It met at Chicago, appointed
subcommittee on headquarters which will meet at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel on July o, two days before
the meetin, Of the National Committee Itself. j. g.
Clarkson is Chairman Of the subcommittee. He and
other members of II have expressed themselves op-
posed to the occupation Of any building In common
with any other committees and 1t is possible that the
scheme for making tho Carlton Club general head
quarters Will fall through for this reason.
