New York delegation to supper.
eX- Senator Harrison for President.
| L. has for some days been epp1rent that
and no hss beeI feeling considerably
cbsgrired that he should have been led
iutOEths mistake CT allowing ME name to
| oe presented. After the three ballots in
the fist session OF the convention to-day
| winch IL ou. smsll measure
varied from the complime mary status,
| DepeW requested the remaining three
delegates at lsIge from New York to
|
nounced mis- decision to retire and the
three delegates ard leaders at once en-
deavered TO revive tho original
policy CT the New York delegation ard
choose a man to receive su )stantjslly
the solid support of the state.
Senator Hiscock has been favorable to
Allison. His senatorial colleague, Plat,
has favored Alger. Miller has been e
Sherman man. Dapew oas hsd no second
choice, and the other three delegates
;greed to cast their II lence for the mzn
| whom Dspew might name.
Following out the Blaine programme
by which ln effort ID first to be made 10
nominate Harrison, Depew selected the
I2dians man and sf.er Dapew had
formally Withdrawn The New York dele
CATION decided by vote OF Go to to
follow this leadership. Much excite ment
prevailed upon this decision becoming
Known and HsrTison's nomlna-
ton at the tv4nipg session
Was fully predicted But while
TIE CUP CT VICTORY
appeared to be close to HarrIsoI's lips.
the political managers interfeIed ard Tor
the time st least dashed 1t away. TIE
friends Ct oil the other candidates
united in forcing an adjournment, thus
preventing the hslloting, and ct the same
time forcing the Harrison combination
70 show It's strength. This tactical vic
tory for the opposition established The
fact that Harrison as not yer S me- j0rity
OF the convention, out thai he
csu be besten By another can
d1date upon whom stronger
combination may be certerad. l: Is said
tonight ths: S major Ql;y OF Pennsy.vS-
mia tavoTs Allison. He eIso takes to
Gresham, but like powerful ef2cts nave
been made to bring him into Harrison's
comb nation. 1t is apparent that thus
tAr the programme Ct c number

prevent the making Of any nomination,
thus brir giUg in O deadlock.
THE Poss! Billy OF BLAINE.
The programme Outliued last night was
that early 10 The ballotipg Sherman WAS
to nave his chances for the nomination,
sad falling was to fall back besten. Then
Harrison was to have his turn
Wneu in to-dsy's bs!IOfi1g Indisu4,
which Hsrrison's ms agers had been
claiming TO oe unsnimJu s, gave Gresaam
one vote in the FIST ballot and two in the
secord, and Gresham had l:rger num-
Der of votes thsn Harrison, standing next
TO Sherman, the belief Was that Harrison
had been defeated as well as SaermaD,
aud that Allison would be the next to be
taken up; out DepeW's atton gave IN
expected force TO the Harrison move
ment. Il is significant, however, that
the friends Of Blaine In NV En-
gland sad other states voted for
adjournment, Maine, Arkansas and Cali
fornie voting "yea" unanimously. This
meops that tie influence nearest to Blaine
excepting Elkins, do no. iLtend to per
nit the nomination Of Harrison if they
can prevent l.. The vote on ad. |
journment shows H.rrIsun's strength
20 be about 275, and the question Is
if he can ges The l4O votes still needed.
Twelve Illinois delegates voted against
Indicating there is
DKFLECTIoN FROM GRESHAM
in this state, which shows Itself IN the
total ballots rather than IN open revolt. |
Wisconsin has joined the Harrison com"
bination.
Al nidnlght dczens Of conferences sre
beng held IL the hotels. Little will be
known concerning their results until the |
meets ia the morning.
The SUCCESS OF the Harrison movement |
tepet ds largely upon the position which |
Senstor Q0sy takes and his ability to |
carry tno votes from Pennsylvania with
him Mos: Of the Pennsylvania delegates
are Blaine nen.
The Oato delegates held meeting to-
night enG decided
TO STAND FOR SHEPMAN
until some member OF she delegation de-
mssds pJu. This means that
whila the state is now nj
for Sherman, individual preferences may
be exercised al any time. Doubtless
woes viii be cast for both Foraker ard
Mckinley Tomorrow, with much better
chance of attracting attention to the lst-
ter, who is slngulsrly popular, and who
is much talked about tonight IS dark
horse.
summing up of the situation is to tie
feet that Harrison has aoout an even
chance to win. II PENNSYLVANIA does rot
come to his assistance and the Sherman
strength OF the south holds aloof he
Will be defeated In ef5w ballots. Then
Allison is to be taken up, and il he cannot
